I don't think HR is really that involved in the hiring process. They certainly aren't at my company. They'll read the job posting and make sure that there isn't anything illegal in it, but then that's it. It's up to the Engineering Managers to come up with a process, and make adjustments when there are roles to be filled.

This is the first time I've been involved in coming up with the process, but from what I've observed, it's a similar situation in other organizations.
The reason industry likes to be on earth is that so many materials are free or very cheap, and waste can be dumped into the atmosphere or waterways.

If industry had to pay launch costs for water, air, and other basic things they need, they wouldn't be financially viable.
Ok what I mean is no one is seriously asking to decolonise the U.S.
Its easy to want a few Indians get a few more acres. It sounds nice and costs you nothing. But what about settling real claims? Like some tribe wants Manhattan back? Or returning California to Mexico? Thats what Israel is asked to do. To basically destroy itself to fix some past wrong that wasn't really its fault to begin with (we don't have to start this argument but comparing Zionism with what Americans did falls short).
There a few cognitive biases that can assist. People can become more attracted to someone simply by learning the other person was attracted to them. Also, the more time you spend with someone, the more attractive they will become.
Back then there was also a much greater sense of community than there is in recent times. It wasn’t just a single parent raising the child but the whole community was an extended family. So the whole family dynamic was radically different.

These days we are much more dependent on dads being present. Which, as a dad of two myself, is so much more rewarding than working a day job anyway so while I think we’ve lost something in terms of communities we’ve definitely gained something in terms of Dads being more active.

I honestly can’t understand why anyone would chose cycling on their own over bonding with their kid. You lose out, the kid loses out; everyone loses.

The grocery business is extremely low margin. The independent grocer is increasingly being squeezed. There really is no way for an independent operator in this space to compete head-to-head on price or selection. If the local market allows they can go niche, or high-end and increase prices further while offering better product/ better customer experience, but most markets won’t support such a store.

Holy crap I did not know how badly I wanted “a PBS for the Internet” until I read that sentence. Grants for media designed to educate and inform, free of the constraints of “what sells” and “what doesn’t offend the advertisers”. With, yes, some actual control over the content instead of the current world where anything goes as long as it’s not explicitly breaking a law, or annoying one of the five immense vertically-integrated media corporations that have destroyed the public domain. Fuck. How do we make this happen.
EUV LLC. that their current nodes are based on was started in America through DARPA, DoE, and a US industry consortium. That's why we are still allowed to enforce export restrictions on EUV tech via ASML, even though it is European.
This issue is specific to Postgres. Like I stated, it is design flaw in the statistics collection architecture. I would be surprised if many other databases have a similar defect. Most experienced database engine designers would immediately identify the approach as defective; there is even a comment in the Postgres source code that suggests it.

All old database kernels have architectural limitations that emerge because there is no realistic way to anticipate distant future workloads and hardware, and it is nearly impossible to materially modify the architecture in practice.
Need to add a fence to your list or a large enough garden to withstand losses.

This was our first garden year. Very small plot, around 6'x6'. Deer knocked over our two tomato plants and ate every tomato off. Huge green tomatoes.
No, but that's why you need to let people's skills be assessed by people who are able to assess those skills.

Yes, many people in industrialised societies have lost the connection to their food, not only the animals whose meat they eat but also the plants. But what does that have to do with killing an animal being "self-realizing"? What part of yourself are you "realizing" by killing an animal? You can't eat an animal without killing it, so you kill it and be swift about it and make it as painless as possible but to find the experience "spiritual"? That's ... just as lost as thinking that eating meat is wrong. It is a kind of thinking that comes from exactly the same place of disconnect with the world of animals and the need to kill them and eat them, even after you have raised them and cared for them from babies as veganism. It is the left hand of veganism. It is madness and derangement to derive pleasure from killing an animal and if you think there's any pleasure in that, you should go back to basics and learn to appreciate life all over again, is what I think.

Or, since you think the way you think about the connection of people with their food, maybe try to live on a farm for a few years and care for animals and then slaughter them, and see how "self-realizing" that feels, to kill a lamb that you stayed up all night to help give birth to, and nurtured and fed with your own hand. Try that! And tell me about the "spirituality" of killing something that feels like your own child.
This is, quite literally, a comment about American Boosterism.

The ones I went to were near Okanogan Valley; though some could have been in Canada as well.
Switching everyone from UTC to TAI is too much work and if you try to use TAI while everyone else is on UTC you'll run into off-by-37 bugs everywhere. It's better to keep using UTC but add no more leap seconds to it.

Tons of kids ride their bikes around my parents neighborhood. They are always fiddling on their phone while riding. It seems so sad to me, not much different than if they were all smoking cigarettes. They literally can’t help themselves.
Sometimes the malware is not disclosed and a game may start to use a malware after you bought it.
You can, generally, but if you've found something not playing ball, then you should name and shame. Give us the names of the specs so we can avoid.
Huh. Well, I guess this does shift the individual from product to customer, although it seems like quite a drastic measure to take.

The real moral I guess is, set up 2FA and maybe that trusted recovery person feature, whatever they call it.
Watching the Falcon Heavy take off & land was one of the coolest things in my life. Watching Starship take off, land, and blow up was neat. The fact that these things build on previous accomplishments doesn’t make them any less impressive. Enjoy the ride & don’t poop on the party.
OT, but:

> but didn't seem to have any problem with Airbus taking over the CSeries program for almost nothing.

This is actually a somewhat amusing to bring up in this context, because US protectionism is what made that happen.

Boeing tried to kill off the C-Series by getting the US administration to impose 300% (sic!) import duties because ... it threatened US jobs. Airbus was targeting the program aggressively as well with tactics like price matching, so the CSeries was already struggling before that.

Bombardies only viable way out was to join a partnership with Airbus (which got 50.1%), so the planes could be manufactured in their Alabama plant and it could be positioned within the Airbus product range instead of competing.

The partnership was forced move, and quite a big middle finger to Boeing. The alternative would have probably been just shutting it down.
Could it be that some politicians actually agree Israel should exist?
Imagine working for a company that treated tax cattle state property objects like a bio-hazard for multiple years, disgusting.
How many people have seen the iMessage source code? A handful of devs at Apple? Closed, proprietary software by definition prevents "more eyes" from looking. Even if we consider an open source product where having "many eyes" review the code is at least hypothetically possible, a large number of people using the software doesn't imply there is also a large amount of people reviewing it.
If anything, it would likely make it worse, since you'd now have "convincing the user to install your payload", recreating the phishing problems of desktop platforms.
Hospitalizations are spiking in Florida right now, and infections are reaching all-time highs: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/us/florida-covid-ca...

I don't disagree that the media is fear-mongering for clicks (see inaccurate reporting of CDC report) but in this scenario, there's something actually happening here.
> That one had installed a makeshift rig of steel bars in front of their stock, and a rep had to physically follow me to the register and watch me pay for it.

Had a similar experience recently in a Home Depot when buying a power drill. The rep took the drill and handed it to the cashier and I didn't physically touch it until it was paid for.
No, but when they appear, _you can fix them_.
Do you have a patent or publication that describes this process. In particular I'm interested to know the thermodynamic efficiency and also the timescales involved in adsorption of CO2.
Maybe you can clarify what kind of app you are speaking of. I'm using Hacker News at the moment, which is a web app. I am typing into a text area, and in a moment, will press the reply button.

I'm not feeing this "lack of integration" you speak of. I don't see how this could be improved if it was in a Windows app, and that reply button was coded using the Win32 API as opposed to being made in HTML, styled in CSS, and given interactivity with JavaScript.

Oh, you mean some other kind of app? What kind? Which apps should be native and which are ok to be web apps? Even if we restrict the discussion to the desktop (so mac, windows and linux native, vs running in a web browser), do you think that, say, YouTube would be better as a native app vs the web app that I currently use it as?

I use the Google's "messages for web" app that allows me to send and receive SMS messages via an app in a web browser. Drag and drop works as expected. And so on. How would it be better if it was a native Windows app?

I also use apps like Gimp and Inkscape, which are technically native but are horrible (because they are trying to be cross platform). And I use a native video editing app called ScreenFlow, which works great on a Mac. But now that my main machine is Windows, it is a huge pain in the ass to use because I have to get out my aging Mac and transfer large files to it.

I use Visual Studio Code. It is built on web technologies (i.e. electron, but it also can run right in a web browser over the web), and is every bit as slick the competing single-OS native app I recently abandoned for text editing (BBEdit).

In every case I am either using apps that are web based (or at least web-browser-engine based), or I am suffering from the downsides of apps that are not.
I see lots of guesses about the decline in the U.K. usually one of:

1. Schools closing (~2 weeks earlier in Scotland than England)

2. Euros [football tournament] ending (Scotland fell out ~2 weeks earlier than England)

3. Hot weather (leading to events outdoors or more ventilation or less going out or something else bad for the virus)

4. The “pingdemic” where the contact-tracing app tells many people to self-isolate

5. The end of a big burst of weddings scheduled when restrictions were due to ease

6. Herd immunity

7. Maybe lots of people went on holiday and mostly kept to themselves.

8. Some statistical anomaly hiding case numbers that are not falling (eg fewer tests->fewer total positive cases)

I don’t really believe 7 or 8 and everything else feels too unsupported. Perhaps time will tell what the cause is but I think I am weakly optimistic about current trends. We shall have to see.
I agree about the writing being dry. Honestly I couldn't finish it, it felt more like a series of interesting future wikipedia articles than a novel. The problem is sometimes those interesting wikipedia articles will be in between about 50 pages of sci-legal-fiction describing a legal ecosystem where sentient corporations are conducting some kind of mysterious magic future economics / ecology that is never actually described.

But anyway back to the discussion:

>The mass of one planet being able to simulate billions of planets is only possible if the simulation is rather poor

The mass of one solar system! And you don't need to simulate the system to a planck length. In fact the book specifically addresses that scenario - different simulations have different planck lengths and planck times, depending on the needs of the users of that simulation. For most users (certainly your average modern baseline human) that length might be on the orders of fractions of a mm, and some users might not require a physically meaningful interface at all!

>Everyone doesn't have to do it. Just one person out of billions does.

That's assuming that the culture doesn't have significant bans on von-neumann style self-replicating machines. If they allowed such devices of course you'd expect an expanding light cone of computronium around every significantly advanced culture but any sane long-lived culture would recognize that such machines are just about the only existential threat that a culture with those capabilities would face. That might significantly limit the 'explorer' class to those entities willing to do the equivalent of taking an ice pick to the frontal cortex in modern humans in order to undertake a multi-multi-millennia solitary journey into the void. Some fraction of those trips would fail, and the successes would take a non-trivial amount of time to launch another. Maybe those growth rates are smaller than we would suppose and the universe has only had stars capable of producing the elements of life for a little while on a universal scale, maybe those light cones just haven't reached this corner of space yet.
This is hardly beyond standard practice in the industry.
The SLS is going to orbital flight with no flight testing. Heck the Falcon Heavy launched a car past Mars' orbit on it's first flight. I think SpaceX's main goal was to refine their manufacturing process and make sure they can achieve a certain level of consistency in building these things. The fact that they installed all these Raptors before even doing a pressure test tells you they are far more confident in their processes than they were even 6 months ago.
Did you read the part where his mother made the 911 call?
Great point.

Even to take it down a notch, what has happened in the US is just boring. You almost can't have a conversation without one of 5 of the same companies coming up.
Yeah, as someone who grew up (and still is) lower middle class near rural areas, DGs and the like served a niche that would be hard-press to be filled by other companies, national or local.

So I can't really blame a company for taking over a market underserved. They are a symptom of larger changes in the economy and society, that which one SHOULD criticize.
It's definitely a moral conundrum as evidenced by the U.S. civil war, the two World Wars, and some interventions in genocides, contrasted with the lack of intervention in other genocides or in Soviet and Chinese (to pick on the largest) mass murder/starvation of citizens for political reasons.

I agree that equally powerful societies face the hardest choice; whether to risk everything to save everyone or to knowingly allow atrocities to continue while preserving themselves.
It is, unfortunately (for Linux), not just the hardware. It's the vertical integration of whole ownership of the hardware and software.

Apple's OS is designed to run on (and run) their hardware. There are abstraction-breaking software decisions made with the platform in mind (and vice-versa).

To give a concrete example: the OS knows about the M1 Neural Engine and controls scheduling of jobs on it in a way intended to maximize perceived user experience.
If someones cashflow is pushed to the edge with BNPL purchases it's so easy to get toppled over by an unexpected emergency. It really is quite scary thinking about it. Is it financial irresponsibility causing people to overextend themselves and their cashflow on frivolous purchases, or is it out of necessity and a wider issue such as poor economy / job market / wealth distribution causing people to turn to these services? - Either way, they feel rather predatory to me...
Here's the thing: even if the virus is less lethal, if it results in more hospitalizations, we are headed for lockdown again if hospital capacity starts getting threatened: all of the routine heart attack, stroke, laceration/crush emergencies we need to deal with routinely will be unable to find adequate care if anti-vaccine holdouts are storming the hospitals for ventilators, or even just inpatient observation. And if our politicians responsibly do lock down to head this off, they probably STILL won't understand how the power was in their own hands to stop it. Businesses will shutter again, kids will miss even more school, and the hospitality industry will again stumble because people refused to understand that even a small number of non lethal hospitalizations spread over the entire population is enough to overwhelm healthcare infrastructure.
One thing I've noticed is that while everyone can take photos and video anytime they want to, many folks simply forget to. How many people have you seen who have timelines of only selfies, food, and/or cats/dogs. I've been making a point to take just a few photos or videos while spending time with friends after a show and many of my friends are thankful when I do and share them (directly, not online and tagging them).
Okay, then why not just take the /dev/ttyACM0 output and redirect it to a standard TCP port with like 5 lines of code?

And can't multiple applications read a /dev/tty device read-only with just e.g. "cat /dev/ttyACM0"?

Spy satellites launch from Vandenberg due to the favorable azimuth for high-inclination orbits.
> Yea it never bothered me and I never understood why people kept complaining about it online. It seemed very superficial complaint.

Consistency may be superficial to you, but that's a personal preference that not everyone shares.

> The way you use git is by first understanding its model. If you understand the git model, everything makes sense

Doesn't follow. I think I've got at least an acceptable handle on git's model, but I can't see how that should mean I'd have to accept that wildly inconsistent command switches "make sense". Care to explain how one leads to the other?
The Taliban is about to retake Afghanistan, which is a different group than ISIS / ISIL.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taliban%E2%80%93ISIL_conflict_...

In fact, Taliban and ISIL are at war with each other for Afghanistan right now. In any case, we've been incredibly successful at censoring both of them from our mainstream platforms.

They wish for recruitment, to spread their propaganda / disinformation, and to grow their cause. Its an information war, the same as any other.
Absolutely, e-learning and similar use cases are what excite me the most. We're working with a number of healthtech and e-learning startups doing exactly that- empowering creators to build content that is more personalized and immersive at scale.
