To answer your question more specifically, they can be truly random conversations. The other day I talked for two hours with someone about neural networks (not related to our work) while coding.
I am enjoying the ever-more-blatant examples of this kind of thing.
Questionable. Going to a company that had experience with car body designs and getting an in-house designer would likely have been a better plan for them.
I think you're spreading FUD. People get reassigned instead of fired pretty regularly in response to PR. Please cite sources instead of making conjecture that this was due to race. At least leftists come with sources to back up their claims of racial discrimination, however flimsy the evidence is, it actually exists.
I'm one of the people with stories to tell and this is exactly correct.

You only hear about deviations from the norm. Most of the people I know (outside of my bipolar support group) don't have much to say about their childhood.
Many third world countries are trapped in a vicious circle. Because there is no functioning social security system, it is important to have many children because they will provide income for your family in the future. So on a micro level this makes sense. But on a macro level it is disastrous because the population growth will put even more pressure on your social security system.

The draconian policy of China enabled it to spend more resources on economic development. It is not so long ago that China was also a typical third-world country.
Endless Paper
This is a super common issue that people are raising over and over again, but there's already a solution for this: split teaching into technical and non-technical. In some countries universities are split along this axis.

Take statistics for example - most people that know something about statistics don't exactly know what a statistical space is (and it is a very precisely defined concept, embedded in the set theory). And that's fine, that's for the "pure" nerds. How to use it can be taught without defining the roots and proving theorems from the ground up. It is also how most of software development is done, few people out there that write code understand how CPUs fetch and execute instructions, talk to other perhipherials, how does malloc()_or sin() work, what is a page fault, or how to balance a red-black tree. Just use std::map or dict() or something, it just works :)

Ask HN: What On-Call systems work for you?
Are there any on-call management systems you'd recommend?

The article mentions Teams E2EE in the context of password sharing between employees.

Also E2EE will be an opt-in thing, but a company may enable it by default for all 1:1 calls.

Sounds like this is mostly about companies believing to be more secure if their employees share passwords only with E2EE enabled.
A ton of it is plain Dunning-Kruger. They spend two minutes looking at something they don't understand, dub it stupid, and feel smug about being smarter than the people who do it.

That said, philosophy seems to practically beg people to do that, and I've spent some time trying to figure out how and why. Scientists flood the Internet to challenge bad science. Especially physics, which a lot of people practice in exactly the same way they approach philosophy -- without doing the math, or doing the experiment, or having any applications.

Philosophers don't do that, and I struggle with that. There may or may not be such a thing as "bad philosophy", but it's certainly true that people mis-represent the state of the art of philosophy. The most visible philosophers are rarely the ones doing the most important work.

People are quick to jump on the Sokal Hoax -- as if they had any idea what the journal Social Text was actually for. Who's out there to explain it? Science won the Science Wars -- but did anybody actually show up to fight against them?

Sciences aren't immune, either. A field like sociology is barely separated from philosophy, and gets a lot of derision -- as if it would be so much better if it would just realize that human beings are billiard balls with no more than three dimensions of freedom, and we could gin up experiments with N=10^20 every afternoon the way the LHC does. But if you were offered the answer to the question "How can we end homelessness?" or "What is the real nature of dark energy?", which one actually matters more?

It's easy to feel smug about the simplicity of physics and the tremendous power we can get out of that. A lot of people get a cheap thrill out of that. But it's lazy, and I really wish there were a way to talk about it.
It is Anti-Semitic in that he is lumping all jews in with Israel. I am a Jew, America is my homeland. I live here and am an American. I am not an Israeli. I give almost zero thought to Israel in my day to day. Jews are consistently labeled with an "other" tag, we are not Americans, we are Jews and Israel is our country.

Also "If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself. Self defense is undoubtedly an instinct, but I would be afraid of my increasing insensitivity to the suffering others. My greatest torment would be that I’ve misinterpreted the identity offered by my history and transposed spiritual and human compassion with self righteous impunity."

How is that anything except Anti-Semitic?

General Magic was investing in the future, but jumping the gun by 10 years didn’t work out so well for them. I suspect VR and AR are probably still that far out. I still remember the buzz about VR back in the late 80s and early 90s. Thirty years later we’re still really not there yet and LeapMotion fell completely flat already.

My point is that a strategy of “I will solve the commute problem by always living a 10 minute walk from work” requires you to move nearly every time you change jobs, or requires all of your potential jobs to be right near your home.

Working remotely doesn’t have such a requirement.

I think we could both be charitable to OP and agree that, in a situation where a job came up which was a 10 minute walk from their current home, it’s probably not what they meant when they said “I’ll never work in an office again.”

Are they? For instance, Ars Technica used to be a source of high quality tech journalism for nerds, where the journalists seemed to really “get it”. There’s still some of that left, but in the recent years, I observed more and more bland nothingburger articles coated in clickbait titles popping up in my feed; to add insult to injury, the comment section was sinking deeper and deeper into tribal outrage, consistent with the rest of the (Anglo, at least) Internet. I finally unsubscribed last year. Now I know zero source of consistent high quality tech journalism.

Jews != Israel, how many times does this need to be said
The Palestinians are also Semitic peoples.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semitic_languages

Being against the peoples of Palestine makes you an anti-Semite as well.

Edit: the downvote brigade is strong today.

But as the top post says, there is a difference between Jewish genetics, Jewish culture, Jewish religion, and Jewish government. Smearing them is just as disingenuous as calling people anti-Semites (not knowing who that represents). A human can be a member of none, one, or multiple of these.

Complaining about abhorrent *actions* member does as one of these does not make you an "anti-semite" or "jew hater". The key difference is that one focuses on bad actions, and not attaching "bad" to a people.

People can be critical of the state of Israel, but they should not be antisemitic.

Theoretically, I guess, but it's really strange how the one tiny country in the whole world that has a Jewish-dominated society is so often a target for complete destruction.

Many of the same countries that have all but eliminated their own Jewish populations somehow find Israel's very existence to be unpalatable, going after them in the UN, in their state-sponsored media, and through military/terroristic acts.

So, sure. You could be critical of Israel but not be antisemitic. But as a matter of probability, a lot of people who criticize Israel are also antisemitic.
Wow, then yes -- this is a non-story.

13 years should be plenty of time to have some studies covering this; do you have studies to prove this claim?
> 2019 article: "Its planes could be ready for commercial service in the mid-2020s"

This one is the most egregious. It’s hard to imagine a good-faith scenario where the company actually thought they would ship a commercial airplane in a couple years when they didn’t even have their scale model working.
I honestly don't know the answer to this, but how large would it be if we tried to do the same thing to a modern CPU? Map our way backwards from its structure instead of the underlying logic?
Please join the Stanford Federalist Society as we welcome Senator Joshua Hawley and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to discuss violent insurrection. Violent insurrection, also known as doing a coup, is a classical system of installing a government. Although widely believed to conflict in every way with the rule of law, violent insurrection can be an effective approach to upholding the principle of limited government. Senator Hawley will argue that the ends justify the means. Attorney General Paxton will explain that when the Supreme Court refuses to exercise its Article III authority to overturn the results of a free and fair election, calling on a violent mob to storm the Capitol represents an appropriate alternative remedy.

This is dripping in satire. Pretty hard to miss.
Exactly. This only affects cross site/app tracking. Which hurts attribution and data collection, but in some cases actually strengthens their walled-garden.
There is a lot of disingenuous stuff to go around, in all directions.

Antisemitism, antizionism and anti Israel sentiments relating to current events are distinct in purely theoretical terms. One does not imply the other and they often are distinct in practice. IRL though, they're very often intermingled.

The banal example is the PNA president's doctoral thesis, that the holocaust was faked to justify zionism. Most Israel critics and all antizionists define/use the term "zionism" entirely differently to how zionists use(d) it... Very often these draw from, or are similar to new world order conspiracy theories, most famously "the protocols." Speaking of old tropes, The Protocols are regularly republished in Islamic publications today. I ran across it once in a random indonesian magazine, for example. This obviously has roots in the Israel Palestine conflict, not antisemitism. Anti Semitism is not part of indonesian culture.. but intermingling.

It is true that anti-antisemitism organisations, jews, especially those with ancestral ties to europe can be paranoid about antisemitism and see it where it doesn't exist. It's also true that they often have a better eye, and recognise actual antisemitism where others don't. We know the old stereotypes and libels.

A lot of it is contextual. The vast majority of Israelis (myself included) do not suspect antisemitic motives in Palestinians, no matter what "Jews be like X" stuff they say. Antisemitism doesn't mean animosity towards Jews (or semites). It is a specific, european cultural phenomenon that persisted for a long time, and still exists. Many of its features or ostensibly banal. I'm not american, but I think "why is blackface racist" is an analogy of sorts.

For "proof" look at unmoderated comments sections of many/most anti-zionist posts. You'll find obvious, unmasked antisemitism very commonly.

This is not apologetics, nor does it mean that criticism of Israel is inherently anti semitic, invalid or unacceptable. It also doesn't mean that people are never unjustly accused of antisemtitism.
Well, my one data point is i never got sick from a FPS (anything from Wolfenstein for Dos till the present) but I did get sick when I borrowed a PSVR for a weekend. Couldn't use it more than 20-30 mins no matter what i tried, and i had a stack of different games with it to try.

Maybe Occulus does it better, I'll never know though.
As I wrote somewhere, most middle class people people in Europe pay way more than 25%, the average in Denmark being 45%. With payroll tax it would be more like 55%, and it really makes no sense NOT to count payroll taxes.

And 5% is not realistic, even if you eliminate all the pork, corruption and inefficiencies. You can't provide education and healthcare and maintain infrastructure for 5%.

I hate paying taxes but 20% would definitely not feel unreasonable for all those things, I'd pay that happily.

If someone cares about having a piece of art badly enough to steal it or create a fake do they care at all about what an NFT says about who owns it?

Boom is taking the government's role, not BA's. I once did a back of the envelope calculation which suggested the government could have lost less money paying for a NY- Europe business class ticket on a regular aircraft for every person ever to fly Concorde. It was as spectacularly bad commercially as it was impressive technologically.

It was a sustainable business for BA because they got several aircraft at giveaway prices (the minister who sold them conceded it may have been the worst deal ever negotiated by a government!) which they could charge extortionate rates to fly on, but they still weren't flying more than one of them at a time very often.

In my apartment, the number one electricty cost comes from my fridge+freezer. (To be fair, I live in the sub-tropics.)
How so? The norm in human society is to accept that people can grow and learn with time. The fact someone can be fired or shifted because of something like this said 14 years ago speaks volumes of the power of cancel culture and says nothing about antisemitism.
You're not wrong; normal distributions are OK but not ideal for estimating durations -- it can lead to weird artifacts if you don't restrict yourself to just the mean. (https://blog.vistimo.com/post/169546687605/estimation-math)

And once you're committed to using monte carlo, you're free to include one-off events -- sick days, vacations, social loafing, etc, that are really hard to model analytically, since they are roughly uniform in time -- the longer the project runs, the more days off make the project run longer.

People are quick to discount the value of education (or upbringing) from the early age. Humans have started developing quickly with the development of language and especially writing. Take that away, and we are looking at another dozens of thousands of years of getting back to it, if at all.

The best evidence to me is how those "lost in woods, found years later" kids have developed: mostly mimicking other animals (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feral_child). It's even hard to change that later on.
Mid 2020s, not mid-2020. That is, 2025ish, not 2020.5ish.

No, this isn’t normal at all. Some optimism is expected but promising commercial operation a couple years out when they weren’t even close to anything like it is simply lying.

I agree. The use case needs to justify having state, otherwise the ideal architecture is something like NullHop. Temporal signal processing / vision processing tasks are ideal for SNNs, especially if the inputs can also be sparse.

Do u think an open marketplace for directly contacting with people who have property that is optimal for your helium hotspot miner & ready to hosts your miner at their location will be useful ? something as easy as AirB&B where u just login and see listing of places u can host your hotspot at a certain price ? Not everybody with a property wants to mine HNT & not everyone who wants to mine HNT are located in right location and also u can not host multiple miners at same location.

That is not the slam dunk argument you seem to think it is.

In my experience, most developers with “10 years of experience” (who have worked in enterprise, at least) actually have one year of experience ten times.
When Zuckerberg is brought to Congress, he’s often asked questions about Facebook’s impact on mental health and addictiveness. Zuckerberg frequently answers by saying that Facebook’s north star metric is Meaningful Social Interaction (MSI), yet one employee, who was on the well-being team that was shut down, describes this metric as a marketing gimick. This employee shared internal metrics that more than 99% of Facebook usage is passive browsing, the kind that is more likely to reduce self-esteem, anxiety, and harm mental health.

Through shrewd acquisitions, blatantly copying the exclusivity of rivals (read: Snapchat, TikTok), Facebook managed to become an integral part of our lives in less than a decade.

This is just plain stupid. Yes Facebook is a Big Evil Corp but they created a ton of value through original product development, not just “shrewd acquisitions” and ripping off other products.
