Different branches tackle this in different ways.

It's probably important to note that each branch has more specific things they need to know. Much of the Marine Corps relies on cross-training to fulfill this demand because their goal is much more open-ended than the rest of the branches (to my knowledge it's something like, "seize forward operation bases and areas of operation".)

To put it in a metaphor: bootcamp is considered dipping your toes in the water, your MOS school is like getting in ankle deep, the fleet is being nose deep with only your clothes on. When you get to "the fleet" is when your real training will begin and it is unending; the only thing that changes over time is that you figure out your clothes are actually flotation devices (fun fact, they actually are). You will spend night after night in the field training, they'll institute artificial stress, and attempt to train you into dealing with it. They'll use simulations like paint rounds, explosions, medical evacuations, and simulation towns in group-training settings with real civilians doing all the erratic things real civilians would do when caught in the middle of a gun fight or normal operation. No expense is really spared, you will actually fight like you play and that is a regular mantra. I'm reminded of a time in 29 Palms where my unit airlifted a radio truck onto a mountain so they could broadcast on the other side of it, which is exactly what you would do in country if you couldn't get to the top of the mountain.

Aside from that you'll be subject to the typical "death by powerpoint" classes that continue to drive in some of these trainings, but they're always referring you to a manual to learn more from. When people do screw up, they'll usually make them teach a class to show everyone what they learned.

I don't know if there's an official statistic on this, but a majority of the training that is conducted in the Marines I would be willing to put three paychecks on is conducted by Lance Corporal through Sergeant.

The goal is to cross-train enough people and foster enough interest that a team can be mostly self-sustaining.

As an example of this I would cite "Mr Britling Sees It Through" [0] which was written by HG Wells during World War 1. It was published in 1916 and describes in a novel the public reaction to the early stages of the war - and Wells had no idea how the war was actually going to pan out when he wrote it. I read it in April last year, one month into the first COVID lockdown. Some of the reactions Wells describes (from fear to to panic buying to concerns about the economy) were exactly what was happening in the pandemic. I found it amazingly relevant even given the massive changes in society over the last century because in many ways basic human nature is just the same now as then.

in all fariness, B2B is a perfectly viable business model. If you don't or can't care about the UX, sell the hard work making the tech to some company that has those UX engineers to make that spell checker "just work". other companies are very happy to pay devs to put those components together (and serving a dev struggling with an API is likely easier than a user struggling with the UX).

A friend worked as a physical trainer in the military and described things like boot camp and getting soldiers on board.

One funny thing she said was the moment they got off the bus, she had someone in her face in perfect military dress, screaming at her every minute of the day and night. She figured out later that they would take short shifts swapping off, getting in people's faces, then leaving and relaxing before showering and changing clothes and doing it again for a few hours.

They got recruits from every walk of life. They were taught every skill, not only how to march or make a bed military style, but also some had to learn how to brush their teeth.

Every skill is new to someone. I guess it makes sense to document everything so you can teach it and make it uniform.

Dunno why the author didn't just listen to the man himself on why OpenDOC failed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FF-tKLISfPE
Well, communication is the primary feature I would allow.

Back in my days it was typical for us to run to the phone booth "mom, I'm still out playing, will be late for dinner" Now there aren't phone booths anymore.

The concept of the kids messenger by Facebook sounds right. Quite risk free communication, which allows giving the kid freedom without having to always look over their shoulder what they are doing.

As said: that being not from Facebook would be great!
Yeah, for example, the Republican National Committee spent over $300K on Donald Trump Jr.'s book, which it then turned around and gave to donors, and $100K more on one of his other books. It spent over $400K on Dan Crenshaw's book and almost $100K on Tom Cotton's book. When Herman Cain was running for President, his campaign committee bought up pallets of his book that happened to be on sale at the same time as his political candidacy. The RNC also spent over $100K on a Sean Hannity book. The DNC spent nearly $100K on Chelsea Clinton's book.

The FEC is apparently on board with all of this, as long as the candidate isn't... using the books their campaigns purchase for their personal use. I guess the next time Ted Cruz gets shamed into staying home during an ice storm, he'll be disappointed to know that he can't burn his own books for warmth.
I’m reminded of that “bag o glass” SNL routine.
Of course there's truth and falsehood, but the fact checking is hardly 100%.

For example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qp3gy_CLXho

Or you can read, e.g. Snopes' explanation that being convicted of making bombs to blow up a government building doesn't make one a "convicted terrorist" because there's no such crime as "terrorism."
Glad that it has section on style guides and packages that help with styling R code such as "lintr" and "styler". Looks fairly comprehensive even for non-Epidemiologist.
Yet the US military wants to inspect the EU's stuff so it seems to be a bit of a one-way thing right now.

The US wants to do all sorts of shady stuff to the rest of the world, but as soon as someone wants to do some of that the other way around it suddenly is all sorts of bad.
Yes, it most certainly would be good.
> It’s not completely off-base to compare these “for kids” branded apps to candy cigarettes and big league chew.

In terms of verisimilitude, it is 49.9% off base to compare for kids branded apps to tobacco use. In terms of intellectual honesty, it is 99.9% off base to compare for kids branded apps to tobacco use.

If you want guidance on app use for your kids, ask a pediatrician a specific question. You'll get more knowledge than flaming on this place.
I think there is a lot more to say about this subject.

I'll give a personal example, a few months ago, a leading French newspaper (Le Monde) published a debunk about the coronavirus origins, mostly trying to debunk that it originated from a lab in Wuhan.

The problem is that what was presented as undeniable facts was in practice very poorly constructed, and we know today that things are not that clear cut.

In my opinion, when something is debunked, it should be done in the most rigorous manner and stay as politically neutral as possible.

Unfortunately, this is not what I am seeing.
PyCharm having type checking built in is excellent, but it is definitely the lowest quality out of the major 3 (Mypy, Pyright, Pyre) with respect to correctness.
Yep, in almost every industry it was always been 50% how good you are and 50% who you know. Over time, who you need to know to be successful has changed, and new artists need to adapt, as they always have. Getting an audience is easier than ever in history. That is amazing for hobbyists who just want some readers and recognition, and not great for those who want to earn a living while writing.
I don't think their weighing of learning has changed just social needs changed around it.

"Able to read the Bible" was considered important for monks so they were literate. It still is, but now everyone else is literate too so it's not notable anymore.
Arguably the Web does everything OpenDoc was designed to do. And better. The idea wasn't necessarily horrible (rich documents filled with disparate components.), but the technology was a bad idea (C++ish sort of OOP stuff... dynamic languages like javascript are just way more natural for this sort of thing).
You see it time and again where a X clone shows up and you use it and realize ... the clone has no soul and none of the convince or emotion that what it tries to copy has. It copies the notes but can't put a song together.

I stopped using deodorant years ago because I just didn't see the point.

If it did what it said on the bottle I'd be fine with it, but it doesn't actually deodorise anything. If you or your clothes are dirty the only way that takes away the smell is to wash, adding another smell on top of it is not a solution.

If they want to make a deodorant they should sell bottles of chlorine gas instead, but then they'd have to answer to the OPCW, never mind the FDA.
One thing to consider is royalty rate. If you sell 5000 copies for $20 and earn a dollar per copy, you've earned $5,000. (This math is based on 10% royalties on the publisher's portion, which is about half of retail. And no, fiction books don't sell for $20 typically, but I'm using this number to make the math easy.)

Now, if you sell 5000 copies of an ebook for $20 and earn 80% royalties, you earn $16 per copy, and earn $80,000. This is the royalty rate on Leanpub (disclosure: cofounder), but with Gumroad or blog + Stripe approaches you'd earn an even better percentage (if you want to run your own store).

For fiction, however, the dream combination is probably publishing in-progress with subscriptions. Currently it seems that Substack is the best for that. If you can get a few thousand people to subscribe for a few bucks a month, you could do well. The people at the top are doing really, really well: https://stratechery.com/2021/sovereign-writers-and-substack/
Though this book was made for epidemiologists who want to learn R, I believe such a topic-focused presentation is great for anyone wishing to learn R.
One more thing to consider is that some (many?) of these authors are from poorer countries. $1500 a month for them might go a lot further.
Trying to figure out what makes MITM'd exit nodes valuable.

Sure, as an attacker it's interesting, but cost vs. how interesting isn't clear. The law enforcement case for specific investigations makes some sense, general counter intelligence value of keeping track of which web sites are attracting people who take precautions, maybe there is a general list of suspected dissident minds states maintain?
Everyone knows how to lose weight: you eat less, you work out more. If it’s so obvious and imply, why isn’t everyone losing weight?

Some things require so much work to do that they leave an opening, verses things with low barrier to entry. Hence why real estate has more room for profit than stock investing.
> Nowhere does it say that all soldiers read this or that anyone expects that a typical soldier be required to read it.

And nowhere do I make this claim. The discussion is bout the intended, not the required, audience. And the intended audience is explicitly stated to be Soldiers in the manual itself.

> I can’t sell my own Fortnite skins, for example. If I wanted to access the Fortnite user base I have to use the Epic Game Store.

You're right - and Epic isn't arguing that they have to be let on to the App Store, except in the case where there's no alternative. Ignoring the fact that Fortnite isn't actually a platform that allows you to submit skins to Epic (and as such isn't really comparable), you absolutely can make your own skins and 3d models and content and sell them somewhere else, you just can't in Fortnite.

And before you say "oh but they can just go to Android" - no, they can't, because Google Play has similar restrictions and while making a separate store is possible it isn't practical due to technical restrictions Google imposes on the OS.

> I also can’t sell any game I want on their platform. I have to follow their rules, get approval? Etc.

I've already addressed this. On iOS it is impossible to sell an app outside of the app store. If you're denied from EGS you can just go to Steam, itch.io, GOG, or host a website yourself.

> Not to mention video game exclusives.

This is a completely unrelated issue. The court case is about the rights of a developer and their relationship to the app store. This argument is about the rights of a consumer and I do not see it as even remotely relevant.

> The only reason we are talking about it is because it’s a popular platform.

You're right - the platform being popular is what gives Epic's argument merit. It makes Epic less able to ignore the app store if they want to go after the mobile market. Obviously if the platform wasn't popular then no one would care and this case never would have happened.
I also struggle with Mypy's strict mode, but I think recursive types are different from classes that can construct each other. Mypy doesn't have any problem with the following code

from __future__ import annotations

class X:
def __init__(self, value: int) -> None:
self.value = value

def to_y(self) -> Y:
return Y(self.value)

class Y:
def __init__(self, value: int) -> None:
self.value = value

def to_x(self) -> X:
return X(self.value)

x = X(10).to_y().to_x()
print(x.value)
I don't use it in production but yea, I've read that automation for windows servers is mainly geared toward management with powershell. It's been a while since I've used it and it's definitely a lot different than bash, but it seemed petty elegant when I used it last. I like objected oriented programming, so having an object oriented shell was pretty neat.
It's a lot less sophisticated than Metabase!
NFTs are trying to solve for this, but I'm not sure how mainstream that will become.

For instance: https://emily.mirror.xyz/0AFENlMKv9amUC1OJIZY26udpISw_raXkoE...

In this case, Emily crowdfunded her novel using the cryptocurrency ETH. People "invested" in her book buy purchasing the NFT, so that they can later sell their investment again (and the writer will get royalties if they do).

I think this might be a little too out there to become mainstream. HOWEVER, I do think the library model could be tweaked to favor the author.

Right now the ebook library model is based off the physical book library model where the library purchases a certain number of ebooks (say 10) and the author only gets a portion of the royalties on those ten copies, and then the library loans those copies out to an unlimited number of people.

It should be managed more like Spotify- where books can be read unlimitedly, but the author gets paid royalties every time someone reads their book. (Similar to how an artist gets paid everytime their song is streamed). I might actually write about this for a future post.

Room 118 Solutions | Senior Frontend Engineer | Part-time Contract | Remote | http://room118.solutions

Hey! We're Room 118 Solutions, a small web application consultancy. For the past decade, we’ve generally worked on server-side rendered Ruby on Rails applications that had minimal JavaScript. But, times they are a-changin’, and requirements for some of our existing projects have begun demanding richer frontend experiences, and we’ve also begun working on some Node.js stacks. Our team consists exclusively of backend RoR engineers, so we’re looking for a frontend engineer who can help us out on these projects, guide us on best practices, and generally lead the way on frontend development.

Looking for a US-based senior frontend engineer with experience in some or all of the following technologies: React, Redux, Nuxt.js, Express.js, Ruby on Rails

Experience or interest in cryptocurrency/blockchain tech is awesome, but not required.

We have a few projects with immediate needs. More details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ekriS83_x6k8Cjyjqdh2d24o...

If you're interested, please email us at jobs+hn [at] room118solutions [dot] com
Spotify urged to rule out 'invasive' voice recognition tech
Dont do the crime if you can't do the time... simple really.
They implement Linux functionality enough to suck at it and then the Windows users that try it thinks it is Linux that sucks and not Windows.
If you want to look at it from that perspective: the same reason the US does it.

People also tend to forget that providing a service (in whatever fashion) doesn't exist in a vacuum, there are the services and then there are the consumers of those services and they might have certain freedoms and rights that the locality of the service in question might not honour. Take the right to control your data for example, the US isn't very good at providing that with the services they offer, and they'd rather not have that freedom and rather make those few percent more money.

> Soldiers being the intended audience does not mean _all_ soldiers must read it. What's so hard to understand about that?

Apparently a lot, based on some of the replies in this sub-thread. I, on the other hand, fully agree with you and have no trouble understanding this distinction.

The poster to which my original comment was a response to, however, claimed that soldiers were not the intended audience.
Not at all, even in Lisps there’s quoting. In-band signalling isn’t necessary for either meta programming or reflection.
Yes! Exactly! Right now the ebook library model is based off the physical book library model where the library purchases a certain number of ebooks (say 10) and the author only gets a portion of the royalties on those ten copies, and then the library loans those copies out to an unlimited number of people.

Actor sues TikTok for using her voice in viral tool
So the argument is: medical devices yes, internet which is used for everything: no.

Not every jurisdiction in the world is based on extreme fines (like the US) but many are build on strict regulations (like most European countries).

Personally, i cannot speak about the concrete law and nis 2 thingy.
I think people are assuming some sort of coercive outcome if sex were to be considered a human right. What it might realistically produce are more lenient, practical and compassionate laws around sex work. For example, there are people who are lonely, possibly due to old age, illness, circumstance (incels), etc. What makes them less deserving of intimacy? What right does a society have to proscribe what services an individual is allowed to willingly provide?

This is just another example of some of the hidden suffering that society predominantly refuses to counteract or even acknowledge.
I helped build a search engine for patents that used a neural network embedding, I also wrote

https://ontology2.com/essays/ClassifyingHackerNewsArticles/

so I know what the data looks like. However that above article has never gotten as many votes as this article did

https://ontology2.com/essays/HackerNewsForHackers/

which catches the emotions better than a solution does.

I would retract some things from that article pair, for instance I put the anti-Apple filter in at the time and I did not need to, the site was just flooded with Apple articles at that moment in time because WWDC was a hit that year.

A lot is know about ranking algorithms where "better content sort higher" but not ones where the absolute value of the ranking score is meaningful, which is important for filtering applications where you want to pick out "new and interesting" articles and set some threshold for what interesting is.

As for consolidating topics that I think is better addressed through clustering than embeddings that were trained on somebody else's task.
That was a Damien Comolli thing. Arguably a stats driven purchase though so a cautionary tale for all.
I'm 45 years old, my parents asked the same things about me.. the screen wasn't necessarily a pocket companion at the time - but it was computers, consoles and hand-held devices and all the stuff around them.

At first, they fought me... and it was a dumb battle for battles sake. My parents never bothered to understand anything I did and generally just gave up and let me do whatever...

Turns out, they were in the midsts of a relationship failure and there was no time for the kids, so they let me have at the computer...

BUT... It worked :) I taught myself programming, operating systems, I ran a BBS that was the first BBS in texas to offer Linux downloads, I got published in books/magazines/journals talking/writing about OS/2, Linux and DESQview.

In the end, I never went to school, my parents relationship was still crap but I made friends, found my wife and still work online to this day..

My kids are 13 and 17 and its new battles... but i just think back and remember where I started - I try and fill in the gaps of just "Caring" in general and just "wanting a relationship" with my kids in general - and i do that in lieu of trying to prohibit something that is already pervasive in their lives.

Yes, I run firewalls, safety, anti-virus, family-safety, yes there are some things blocked - yes their phones have family safety too but mostly to do what I can to protect them from maliciousness.

The last battle any parent can or should fight is the battles of pop culture, society and social interactions... espeially a year+ into a pandemic.

we had to re-think the whole grounding from devices during pandemic because that was suicide to a teen... and in doing so - it sparked conversations we weren't having and made me realize i was just following in the same ignorant foot steps as my parents.

Kids will get burner devices if they're grounded, they will jailbreak/root phones/devices to bypass controls, they will buy sims at 7/11 to get around time/restrictions - they may find a drawer of old devices and keep one alive for tethering and many other things - lock down their PC? they will install bluestacks and have unlimited android environment...

It's crazy

But damn, if they're doing all that effort and learning/collaborating on all that - they're getting skills that i find many adults still lack
I wonder what kind of performance this gets when compared with running eBPF since eBPF was written with performance in mind from the start.
