I've sometimes wondered a similar thing. Maybe keep the votes (even the down), but eliminate most the ways they're displayed aside from how they influence sorting. I don't see any problem with having a community moderation system. It's the aspects of gamification and public shaming that are troublesome. Do I really benefit from seeing my karma at the top right of every page? Does the community at large benefit from me seeing it?

I'd be interested if sorting could be done better, too. The way that posts accumulate votes according to zipf's law together with a feedback effect where people mostly only read (and vote on) the top few comments means that there's a strong bias toward the discussion being dominated by the earliest posts. Ones that have had a chance to benefit from and be informed by points raised in earlier comments are at a bit of a disadvantage in the karmic rat race.
> Let's see, will fly with them tomorrow. Faro->Porto (550km). 9.95 euros. 50 minutes flight

> Train-> 6 hours, which is usually 7+ due to delays (last one I did in December was 7.20 making me late for a training) and costs 39 euros (20 if I buy 1 month in advance)

Look, I do not strictly disagree with your comparison and I have often taken low cost airlines for the same reasons here and in asia (though airasia is a whole other class above ryanair so i'm not sure it's fair to compare them).

But you're missing four important things:

1. those 50 minutes are actually at least 90 in reality, from entering the starting airport to leaving the destination airport, when taking into account check in and baggage, depending on the crowd.

2. the airport they use is off the city by a fair bit, adding at least 20 minutes of car or rail travel + costs, often both side (in and out)

3. if you need to add any kind of baggage + the link to the city, you end up costing the same as train

4. depends on rail link but here in france for such travel it's common to have a tgv or similar, which gives you ample room for your legs and a proper table for your laptop, along with power, so you can work

Low cost airlines have their advantages, but it's not that clear cut over train: 2h/2h30 where you can't do anything and unpleasant vs 6h where you are not cramped and can reliably work and / or relax. At least for intra-national travel at eu-scale train should be majorly pushed, and I personally agree with my country's plan to do so.
No use of airspace is already being discussed and likely going to happen.

Ask HN: Resources to Learn Scientific Computing?
After some years of software engineering (mobile apps and back end development) in classic business domains, I recently joined a company in a scientific domain (space).

I gathered along the way knowledge of how to architecture and build systems depending on the expected volumetry (numbers of active users) and its distribution in time (periods of activity).

Now I'm faced with the challenge of turning Matlab (or equivalent) scripts of the research team designed to run on a single machine for a single data point, into a system able to perform those computations on a lot more data and eventually in a distributed manner.

I am well aware there is no silver bullet and will have to compose a solution based on the specifics of my use case. That's why I'm asking you, the truly diverse HN community, for the best resources you know on the subject.
A $5 reverse proxy with a cloud/colo IP goes a long way (so you can map 25 -> whatever you like).

They certainly have the ability to decide on the route their planes take, if not others.
The writeup is brilliant, and the engineers have certainly done heroics to find a software fix for an issue that should warranted a recall.

But that doesn't exonerate Tesla in any way. Tens of thousands of customers got cars gimped with no official explanation from Tesla. It's been close to two years - that's a significant part of the vehicle's lifetime. Tesla still hasn't admitted any issues and still hasn't compensated the owners - absolute radio silence from them. It's abhorrent

Mostly a great article, and makes a strong case that you need a profit motive for an application to succeed, and cannot be both decentralized and capture profits.

But the final proposal would destroy all that is good about the internet:

>>What we’re dealing with here is far removed from physical resources, however, and the system has not been adapted at all. Although some like to idealise the aforementioned market as a free and unregulated system, the truth is that it optimises rather poorly under those circumstances, and needs heavy regulation to align profit motives in the direction of efficient processing and distribution of resources. If we are to keep these profit motives at all,7 we need new regulation to align them toward creating software that better serves our society.

What is needed is heavy government involvement in another way: subsidizing the development of open-source and decentralized applications. If they are better than the products produced by for-profit firms, then consumers will adopt them voluntarily, and if they're not, we wouldn't want consumers to.

Leaving the market free and having publicly funded projects compete with what the market produces on its own instills accountability for those allocating the public funds, by forcing them to get results better than what the private sector is producing on its own in order to validate their judgment on what should get funded.
I don't know, if I were in a position of hiring programmers I'd be a little suspicious of how much they do it for fun. I don't want people who base their choices of language, libraries, frameworks or whatever at work on what is fun or interesting to them. I think I'd want to see them have fun creating something for which programming was a means to an ends more than the fun part itself.

Don't try to muddle the water. Morales wasn't a hijack because they were notified before they got to the denied airspace. They were free to pick another route, or come back to Russia. They weren't in danger.

Ryanair flight was coerced to land in Minsk. They didn't have a choice, the passengers were put in the harm way.

Both incident is political motivated. One is legal and safe (but a dick move). The other is brazen and dangerous.
It's very odd that the author chose to lead with an event which she won. If there were other events that she lost, why not tell about one of those?

Unlike bathroom panics, women's sports feels like a thing where there could actually be a "there" there. There has always been controversy of who exactly qualifies as a "woman". (The Wikipedia article is pretty horrifying: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_verification_in_sports.)

With bathroom panics, it was a trivial refutation to say "Show me the incidents where men are using the new understanding to harm women". Here, there are enough instances of trans women being over-represented at the higher ranks to raise the questions of what it is we wish to accomplish with women's sports as a separate institution. If we reach a state where increasing trans representation diminishes the ability of cis women to play, that would be a genuine problem.

Instead, we get somebody saying, "Well, I should have won... and then I did." I can't figure out if this is a genuine (but poorly-expressed) gripe, or an athlete understandably grumpy about losing something some time, or anti-trans prejudice trying to masquerade as one of the other two.

I feel like there could be a real issue some day, but this isn't it. And while it's understandable that somebody might try to solve a problem before it actually becomes one, it's going to be really hard to do that sincerely if it takes the same form as prejudice.

> I think it’s actually a genius way of describing rights.

In context, it absolutely is.

Remember that many of the key constitutional framers were believers in deism, and believed in god in the context of a creator, but not as an omnipresent supernatural being.

Outside of that context, things get difficult. Looking beyond the slavery example, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts was governed in the early years of the republic as compared to New York or Pennsylvania. It demonstrates the differences in how context as defined by religion matters.

The thing Fauci actually said doesn't at all match what the headline is inferring.

Asked if he was confident the virus developed naturally, Fauci said, "I think that we should continue to investigate what went on in China until we find out, to the best of our ability, exactly what happened. ... I’m perfectly in favor of any investigation that looks into the origin of the virus."

Icons can be and are used by governments for propaganda, to improve the sentiment of nationalism, when great achievements of people is shown as achievement of the nation. This has been done by almost every governments, regardless of political leaning.

Reading others comments in the whole page, it appears that's what people see in that news, as they can't filter the propaganda from the achievements of a great man.
This isn't a question of capability (which is already there), but rather of mindset. Now that the other companies know that it's possible to sell a $1000 ARM computer that's not a phone or a toy, they'll be falling all over themselves to join in on the gold rush. Lots of absolute crap will ensue as they mindlessly bumble their way through shitty designs, and then in a few years we'll see the first decent non-apple ARM desktop and laptop computers. And by that time, Microsoft will have dusted off their ARM code, major Linux distros will be giving real love to their ARM packacing.
I moved out of a SWE role into SRE role a few years ago, then into SRE management role.

This is my experience, YMMV:

Pros:

1. Get to do a variety of things, not stuck writing business rules in one particular language.

2. Paid better than most if not all of the web developers in our division.

3. Feels like a stable role at the moment. Hiring replacements has been difficult so company has made some effort to keep our team happy. We've survived an initial COVID staff reduction.

Cons:

1. On-call rotation and having to support code you didn't write (especially if it turns out to be of poor quality) can be frustrating.

2. I'm finding it hard to pivot into a development role again, after not having done full-time development in a few years. Both finding the time to catch-up and not getting great responses for applications I send out to other companies.

3. Working with one particular cloud provider isn't challenging. I don't feel like I'm learning any actual skills, just "the way AWS would like you to do things".

4. A lot of the CI/CD, Configuration management, and Infrastructure as Code tools feel like they're still in the dark ages (hey let's just add templating to YAML, it'll be great /s)

Depending on the license (caveat: I've not checked) the issue isn't the source being used it is the apparent attempt to claim copyright of the code the fourth is derived from (slapping their copyright messages in, with little/no indication that their contribution is only a small part of the work).

Even if the original license doesn't block this, it is still a bit of a dick move IMO.

This. I cannot stand the guy. He clearly has gone deep in the brand and his hate-jerk is how he makes money. It is intentional and designed to maximise impressions. I would not trust a single thing he has to say on basically any topic as it is all marketing as a result. It was clear 5 years ago and is worse today.

Hell, if Apple addressed his concerns he would be out of this (very lucrative) business. So do not trust him to actually care about your right to repair. As always, follow the money.

I got back in the gym habit this winter, people wore and still wear masks. There was one possible exposure event, nothing came of it.

This is in a community that controlled community spread and proved it with testing and contact tracing so I was confident that very few people would go to the gym with the virus and the physical barriers and distance and now the vaccine are a reason not to fear.
Thank you for the clarification -- but Merkel has been in power for over 15 years. I don't care how many interested parties and fellow bureaucrats keep re-electing her, or that her position is less-than-queen. For the rest of the world, she's the face of Germany. Time for a new one -- like maybe after 5 years at the helm.
He tells you to do this in the extreme short term. The goal is 18-24 months to pay off debt, not 50-10 years. Ultimately this isn't a huge some of money even if you run it out 30 years. The point is getting out of debt and not going back, on average people don't have the discipline to make the most mathematically optimal moves. The individual isn't winning 9 times out of 10 when they try to leverage debt, most don't have access to things that can actually get a return on the risk of debt.
That's interesting -- is it not connected? I frankly saw that it was a Chinese car, and simply assumed that it would be fully connected like a Chinese Android phone.

Responsible by default, which is not a determination on the merits, at least in common-law countries. I know nothing about Norwegian law.
I think the problem is the question is being weaponized in US-China relations in a really pernicious way - essentially, it isolates China, makes them feel unfairly treated - in a way that's actually really dangerous.

An incumbent power feeling threatened by a rising power is a very dangerous situation, and pushing polarizing narratives escalates the danger.

The fact is, if it did come from a lab, what difference would it make? Everybody does gain-of-function research. Everybody has lab accidents. The only reason why anybody is pushing this idea is as a geopolitical stalking horse designed to make China seem like a legitimate target for agression.

For the record, I'm not a big fan of China - but I think deteriorating relations between the US and China open the door to the possibility of war, which is a prospect that is so horrible coronavirus totally pales in comparison. People carelessly fanning tensions to pursue their own limited domestic political objectives has led to devastating wars before, and I don't think sane adults should amplify these people's narratives.
If a new variant of Ebola suddenly showed up in Atlanta, Georgia. Lots of people would immediately jump to the US / CDC having a leak or being responsible. And they would do that just based on geography. This has alot more smoke than just geography.
Well, yes.

Apparently, at the time, bringing a foreign national (such as an European exchange student participating in the same program to see the host individual's non-classified experiment) to the lab after 5PM was a bad thing. Bad things at national labs get an armed response very, very quickly. Armed responses are by definition pointing weapons at people who they might need to shoot.

It was actually more surreal than scary for me, but I had grown up on a rez and was a bit more fatalistic than the other passengers in the car. I guess we made for a rather harmless test of the response speeds.

I suspect you aren't part of "the mainstream market". The main stream buys Android phones full of pre-installed software, Windows laptops full of pre-installed software. They fill both with anything and everything and don't worry one wit about control or privacy or anything else. They buy TVs with built in OSes and ads.

Those like you (and me sometimes) who do worry about this stuff are not the mainstream market at all.

We the people are deep down very competitive and envious creatures. If you complain too much, you are weak. If you never complain, you are too strong and are disliked because you don't conform to the society's averages.

People in a social setting can only be pleased by you pretending to blend in with them. Harsh (and likely easy to dislike for the HN crowd) but it was demonstrated by the anecdotal evidence of many separate people whom I've known, myself included.
