Scientists are free (assuming free will) to define their own, which I think they (some) actually have.
I don't think there are "15-year cohorts" so much as "era-defining bookends". I don't think anyone doing research (such as it can be called in a soft-science) seriously thinks there are clear, unfuzzy lines of demarcation.

No, you are not alone in rightly assuming that the whole article is bullshit. The whole basis of the article is that East India company did not sell opium in the west, but sold it to the Chinese. And that "similarly" Norway advocates for clean energy but grows wealthy by selling oil and gas. The comparison is illogical because the East India company was the poster boy of imperialism and corporate exploitation. It had its own private army of 250,000+ soldiers that was larger than the British army! It is the only instance I know of a corporate conquering a country (India) and establishing a British colony that it ran for decades. In fact, the exploitation was so perverse that the British government had to step in take control away from them to ensure that India (the jewel of the British crown) did not slip away from their hand because of the greed and cruelty of the East India company. (In the 19th century, they chopped away the hands of Bengal weavers as the clothes they produced were superior in quality, which made it difficult to sell the inferior machine produced British imported garments.)

I'd also like to add that oil and gas are not going to fade away anytime soon as we shift towards "clean energy". There are a lot of petrochemical products that are are manufactured from the oil we drill.

> Bradford brought a vacancy tax to the council in early 2020. Similar measures were put forward at roughly the same time in other areas, including New York, Boston, and Montreal. But many of these efforts are on hold while cities grapple with the impact of the pandemic on their budgets. A vacancy tax sounds like an easy balm to the problem of chronically vacant storefronts, but counterintuitively, cities have instead often given tax rebates to the owners of vacant property. Until recently, Ontario mandated a flat 30 percent tax break to owners whose buildings had been empty for at least ninety days, with no maximum time limit. It was a measure born of the ’90s recession, intended to help ease the effects of economic downturn and falling property values.

> While vacancy rebates provided some businesses with a needed reprieve in fiscally difficult times, they were criticized for, in Bradford’s words, “incentivizing owners to keep stores empty while they waited for values to get high enough for redevelopment.” A review ordered by the Ministry of Finance showed that the policy had exacerbated the issue of “chronically vacant” street-level commercial real estate. A well-meaning initiative to help struggling property owners had been thoroughly negated through exploitation and speculation.
To find out what kind of symmetry a field (as described by a Lagrangian) admits. It's called gauge symmetry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gauge_theory

When before have drone robot quadcopters been faster than the best human drone racers, do you have any examples of that - a source or link? Are you speculating about theory or talking about a real event that happened, aside from this one?

Maybe what you mean is that it’s not surprising, because it was inevitable. That I would completely agree with. But it’s simply not true to say that robots have always been faster than humans. There was a first automated quadcopter that beat skilled humans, and it happened recently, because quadcopters are a recent development, and automated quadcopters are even more recent.

Old Agile vs. New Agile
The problem now is the feedback and amplification provided by the social media platforms. It is an actual slippery slope as opposed to a fallacious one. People are pushed to go further and further to gratify the urges of others for validation proxies in the form of internet points. (Followers, likes, and eventually money.)

There's a reason that the execs at most of those social media companies don't let their kids use their own product. Something we've seen from tobacco execs in the past.

Land is an easily leveraged asset. While an individual can only typically borrow 80% of the value, a bank/investment operation could easily leverage the land to 95%+.

Given that property is returning 8% in competitive districts, all the landlord really needs is for the property to make better than 3% return to make money from ownership.

Actually leasing the property or maintaining it simply adds costs to the arbitrage.

> Freeing children from nonsense like drugs and social media isn’t holding them back

But surveilling on them will. You're using your own active involvement as a crutch to compensate for the fact that you can't leave them to their own devices and know they'll do the right thing.

But how can they do that if you don't teach them and you don't give them the right chance to show they can do it? You're not teaching them to independently use the technology responsibly (or not at all), but rather you're forcing a behavior into place.

It's a very short-term solution that will backfire when they're put out there on their own and you're not there to push them in the right direction. Sooner or later they'll need to figure out how to do things independently. Maybe some active handling is okay for a while, but eventually, you've got to take off the training wheels, no?

I agree. HN reminds me of the early days of reddit (pre-2010) where STEM people were over-represented compared to other popular websites at the time. The comments here often tend to be informative and insightful, and after catching up on the latest posts, there isn't much of an incentive to stick around. It's just how bulletin boards from the early days used to be, and reminds me of some small forums.

Reddit, on the other hand, has been a difficult addiction for me to break. It's gradually been growing into an alternative social media platform, and every new feature addition to reddit indicates such a transition.

It's still funny that redditors seem to be self-aware of their reddit addiction but somehow perceive Facebook et al to be worse. Different strokes for different folks, but at the end of the day, the mechanisms of addiction are similar regardless of the platform.
I think somewhat “bigger government” is a perfectly appropriate response to vastly bigger corporations. Three years ago there were no companies worth $1 trillion and now there are three companies worth $2 trillion.
My general philosophy about interpretations of quantum mechanics is that insofar that there is an infinity of possible interpretations that are all mathematically equivalent, the probability that we would think of, let alone find the correct one is for all intents and purposes zero. I don't see any objective criterion that would let us rank them either, so even though it's a fun debate, it is also a pointless one (as long as there are no experiments to differentiate them).

> The worlds don't split into any possible worlds; if one splits one way the others have to split into the other possible choices.

My (possibly flawed) understanding of MWI is that there isn't really any splitting. There is just a quantum superposition of all possible worlds, and the amplitude corresponding to each one fluctuates over time. A "split" from A to possibilities B and C would just correspond to the amplitude of A draining to 0, half going to B, the other half going to C, but the branches might have had nonzero amplitudes to begin with (they already existed, but now they are "stronger"). Different "branches" may also pour amplitude into the same other "branch" (i.e. they join rather than split).

In other words, every moment of possible universe has always existed and will always exist, but over time they switch from "off" (amplitude 0) to various degrees of "on", or to off again, and so on, accordingly to the wavefunction. It's nonlocal in the same way that quantum entanglement is nonlocal in any interpretation, it's just that now we're working on the gargantuan quantum entanglement of every possible state of the entire universe.

MWI is arguably the simplest interpretation from the standpoint of rule simplicity: it doesn't involve a notion of collapse, so it has less rules than other interpretations. It is less simple if you look at the sheer mass of what exists according to it, but I find that notion of simplicity less compelling than rule simplicity. Either way, I don't think it matters so I'm noncommittal.
California Agricultural Products summary report from 2016 weighs in at about 1000 pages. Farmers, crop-types (and their water districts), use patterns vary dramatically. Depending on conditions and the politics of the time, various sections of the Central Valley and particular landowners get increased scrutiny. Needless to say, any walking human has an opinion on water use, and the opinions are sometimes vocal. Every CA commercial operation has passed some kind of challenge to remain open today, for decades.

The total dollar volumes of some of the crops may surprise the first-time reader. For example, the famous California wine industry is not anywhere near the most valuable total value crop, and yes they use water.

I vividly remember the frustration when trying to make some very simple application imports working. There's a couple of gotchas, the biggest one being that you need to write imports based on where you expect to run your applications from. Perhaps obvious for experienced python devs, very much surprising for newcomers.

And then I was quite shocked by the state of package managers in python. You need to learn pip, venv (with references to "virtualenv"), these are too low level, so you find pipenv, which is unbelievably slow (installing a single dependency can take 10 minutes), so you need to learn to use it with "--skip-lock", but then you lose locking ...

I've never appreciated node's bundled "npm" so much before which mostly "just works".
Not OP, but I have had deliverability problems with only one provider, and that is outlook.com. They seem to not care at all whether you have set up everything correctly (I pass all checks for reverse DNS, SPF, DKIM, etc., and I am not on any blacklists) but just have their own shitty whitelist of senders and throw everything else in spam. I had to throw in the towel and send through an SMTP proxy hosted by my VPS provider which solved all issues.

Boom, circular dependency.

Happens in basically all corporate code bases that grow over the years, with varying path lengths.

Throwing all potentially circular types into one big module isn't a great solution.

(In practice, we tend to rely on run-time imports to make it work. Not really great, but better than throwing several 10k or 100k lines of code into a single module).
It has some wildly frustratingly unintuitive behaviours in precisely the wrong place for beginners: in between having everything in a single script and building a proper package, especially when you are invoking your script with 'python script.py' as opposed to say 'python -m scripts.script'.

It seems that necessity is one of those things that can only be definitively assessed in hindsight.

Each organization is going to do things differently obviously. To clarify, a hiring manager within my context is the person that's responsible for the process of hiring for a specific role. We almost always have individual technical contributors act as hiring managers. They set the technical bar, design interview plans, and act as a consistent point of contact for the candidate. Team managers are distinct from that, although they may be the ones pushing to hire to fill a role for their team.

In my experience, relying on recruiters to filter out candidates into a "high quality" pile isn't effective. That's where the resume bias tends to slip in.

Individual contributors spending time recruiting is also organization specific. I'm probably considered the highest value software engineer on my team. Part of that is because I actively work to make sure I'm replaceable. Most projects I've worked on are documented and tested enough that other engineers can step in and take over as needed. I also often turn down fun projects in favor of mentoring more junior coworkers to do them. On the hiring side, we maintain a high bar and hire for long term success. As a result, I trust everyone on the team to keep the ship on course.

The simple answer is "because we can". In general, physicists have found that we should write down the most general mathematical theory compatible with what's observed. A famous example of this is Einstein's cosmological constant -- I'll leave that one to wikipedia [1] since I'm a particle physicist and not an expert on GR.

In the case of gauge theory, the idea that we should consider the most general case has been well proven. As GP pointed out, all observable phenomena ultimately depend only on the absolute modulus of the field Ψ, so a theoretical physicist naturally wonders, what happens if you allow its complex phase to vary. Turns out nothing interesting happens if you apply a global phase, but if you allow the phase to vary at every point in spacetime, it ends up breaking the theory. That is, unless you include an additional field at every point in spacetime that precisely cancels out the change induced by the gauge freedom.

In other words, the motivation is that we can't simply look and "see" whether or not there is a locally varying phase on the wavefunction Ψ, since we only can measure |Ψ|^2. So we have to assume there is, until proven otherwise. Since a local phase would imply the existence of an extra field to cancel it out, we can indirectly check for this scenario by looking for the corresponding field. As pointed out by GP, in the case of a U(1) gauge, it turns out there is such a field, and electromagnetism (and all of its laws) exactly fit the bill.

There are other "unmeasurable" symmetries you could apply to the wave function as well, beyond just a complex phase. SU(2) is a Lie group symmetry which would mean that the measurable properties of certain tuples of fields (Ψ, ϕ) are indistinguishable under a sort of complex-valued rotation of Ψ->ϕ and ϕ->Ψ. Again, if you assume a such symmetry is locally varied at every point in spacetime, you end up requiring not one but three new fields to cancel out the effects on the SM Lagrangian. It turns out that the vector bosons W+, W-, and Z, which mediate weak nuclear forces exactly fit the bill.
