Because sometimes process optimizations have complex downstream effects.

Aerospace engineers are anything but a bunch of goof offs, which is why flying is as safe as it is. And that's why they pulled the aircraft from service even though it is 'just a surface issue' they want to make sure that it really is just that before releasing them - freshly painted - back into service again.

The history of aerospace quality control is written in blood, not because they are goof offs but because materials science is complex and sometimes the only warning you get that something is wrong is a crash. Avoiding those is what this sort of action is all about, in any other industry they would have slapped some new paint on it and kept going.
You are free to approach this as you wish. Know that others have been there before, but most of the industry has moved on from where your organization is now. It wasn't done by digging in heels and expressing frustration, and it certainly wasn't done by giving up.

The truth is, your manager's goals are probably more aligned with yours than either of your realize. Part of growing in your career is learning how to make the connection for other people between these unintuitive things that make development faster and the goals they are trying to achieve. I wouldn't give up on finding new ways to share that understanding. It's called working on your leadership skills.

I'll caveat that there are some cases where it doesn't make sense to do the things you described. Maybe you're working on a prototype, or maybe the cash situation of the business is truly precarious. But if you want people to buy in on change, you need to understand their goals and relate to them on that level. Good luck!
You're focusing on the wrong, and obvious, thing.

You'll never get the developers (who are largely fungible) to fully grok the long term consequences of what they are creating because they are blinded by the (entirely natural) fact that the company is keeping them fed.

Update Old Content (Part2.)
The third one. Make sure your content is fresh by showing it to Google
Content that is fresh is a Google favorite.
For topics that are updated frequently, recently published content gets higher rankings.
You're losing out on a significant part of your audience if you're only publishing new content. Google's search engine rankings will slowly kill off your old pieces.
This content can be revived instead. You can easily double your traffic by updating your content.

Simply save an update in WordPress or create a publication date. Search engine traffic will increase after Google crawls your site again.
Ahrefs saw an increase in views and visits after launching evergreen content instead of content that quickly became outdated.

Similarly, you can make your content more engaging. When you keep it fresh, your articles will rank higher on Google.
Having fresh content is an easy way to improve your rankings.

Four. Make your content more accurate
Ultimately, Google updates are designed to improve the user experience.
You'll see success with Google's various algorithm changes and the continuing refinement of their ranking factors if you design your site to make it easy for users.
If you update your content to provide new information or updated content, your content will be more useful and helpful for your visitors.
Google provides a response to the original Gizmodo article about Google abusing its power.

This helps the reader understand the article better, makes it more accurate, and improves its overall value.
It's still possible to implement the same strategies if you're not publishing a news site - or if your audience is too small to receive a personal response from Google.
In order to accomplish this, you should find new and updated information about the topic you're writing about and include it.
You can use an update as a way to indicate you've improved the article by noting that you have added this content. Like Gizmodo, this is an excellent way to indicate that you've been through the article to improve the content.
Look forward to seeing your rankings climb as you build more valuable resources.
There's a vast space between "marginally above zero" and "amazing utility".
A paper I read recently (Harper 2016 - 10.1089/space.2015.0029) has numbers based on the supplies needed to the ISS.

The gist was, "Without some sort of recycling and/or use of in situ resources, meeting the lunar settlement goal of 100 people would require delivery of over 1 million kilograms of life-support consumables per year."

And then assuming a PLSS life support system you get to to needing about 5500kg of consumables delivered per person per year.

Free speech doesn't mean the speaker is immune from criticism or social consequences. If I call you a bunch of offensive names here, I'll get downvoted for sure. The comment might be hidden from most. I might get shadowbanned or totally banned, too.

That was true of private spaces long before HN existed. If you're a jerk at a party, you might get thrown out. I'm sure that's been true as long as there have been parties.

The only thing "the SJW crowd" has changed is which words are now seen as offensive.

Some paint is more slippery than the substrate it is painted on for lower air resistance:

https://www.skybrary.aero/index.php/Surface_Coatings_and_Dra...

Then there is corrosion protection, protection from ablation (especially on leading edges which usually have other protection against this as well), ice adherence and so on. So it is far from just cosmetic, and given the weight of a single coat of paint (500+ pounds on a 777 for instance) airlines make sure they optimize for fuel consumption because just hauling 500+ pounds along for the lifetime of the aircraft costs a pretty penny.

Aircraft are fairly regularly stripped and re-painted too (I lived near a special purpose facility in Canada that did this, pretty weird to see a widebody come down in a location that is not near any major airfield, the first time I saw that I thought it was about to crash, but it turned out it was there for a paint job).
> The alternatives aren't ready yet though, except maybe nuclear. And in the US, natural gas is still the only readily available means of heating and other buildings.

That's not really true anymore. While heat pumps have been popular in Europe and Asia for a while, they are taking off pretty quickly in the US and Canada in the past few years, even in colder climates.

I'm in the Great Lakes and I heat an old drafty Victorian with a heat pump - I'm saving money and literal tons of carbon emissions over natural gas.
Facebook hasn't changed -- if anything, they're bigger now and sucking up more personal data than ever. Your Google example is an interesting one though it's worth noting it was the employees who objected. However it's not inconceivable that a public outcry could cause Apple employees to rethink and then challenge their management's decision.
Yeah I think the language server doesn't help if you don't know (or can't guess) about the existence of something.

e.g. if you don't know about pandas.Series.str then you probably wouldn't find df['colname'].str.upper just by hitting tab. So, yes good to have Google and also an offline manual that has approximately everything.

Awhile ago I read that Magic's system of alignment (i.e., good, evil, etc.) is sophisticated too.

I think it's criminal how little research is being done in this area. Sustainable, closed ecosystems are very likely to be key to humanity's future survival and are a prerequisite for leaving Earth on any kind of long term basis.
> I could clarify my position if you were willing to tell me what I said that lead to your interpretations of my views.

Okay, holy crud, I'm out. I have zero interest in the evolution of this conversation from a debate about privacy/encryption tradeoffs, into "let's figure out who's arguing in good faith", into "explain to me why you think I'm asking you to explain to me what I'm thinking".

I've made a quick ~$5 donation to Matrix.org (https://imgur.com/a/wVj2neA) in the hope that their current work with on-by-default E2E encryption and P2P community hosting/connections will ideally make this entire conversation irrelevant in the future.

I wish you the best in coming up with your technical solutions.
Many interpretations of Islamic teachings prohibit listening to music. If the goal is to win hearts and minds, I don’t think imposing religiously forbidden entertainment would be helpful.
I've always been curious how these devices will integrate if at all to existing firearm laws. That's a very bulky and expensive .22, so I would not expect many people to rush out and get one. If some day that same device was equivalent to a 45-70 in 200 to 400 grain pushing 1600 fps and it could hold enough charge for a couple hundred rounds and it was weather-proof and durable, it might get more attention. I would expect to be about as loud as a suppressed powder equivalent and much less pain in the shoulder. But I am more curious how these work legally. Do you need to go through an FFL to get one? If not, will these cause a revamp of firearm laws if and when these devices evolve?
My view, as someone who did a lot of work around it:

Purely a money grab by everyone involved. In what I'd consider a more normal fashion, ICANN could have slowly picked and rolled out sensible new TLDs to operators interested.

Instead, it was a free for all where you had to pay an insane fee to ICANN mafia to even apply, and get in bidding wars if multiple applications existed.

If you won, you had to go find and pay your own registry, too. So, you had registries preemptively spamming local businesses convincing them to buy a tld and use that registry.

Many thought they were gonna make a fortune. The only one who made a fortune was ICANN and to some extent, registries. That's probably why owners keep trying to jack up prices, they still want their windfall.

Don't even get me started on how terrible ICANN is organized. The whole digital archery fiasco should be enough for nobody to ever put any faith in them. Anyone with a quarter of brain function would realize how terrible that idea is.
It's downvoted because it's low effort and adds nothing to the conversation. Other comments throughout the thread that mention CPI are more informative or thought provoking.

Has anybody figured out exactly where Guanzhuang is? China is huge. And even if TFA says it’s near the Yellow River, the Yellow River is also quite long. Having only the phonetic name, without even the province name, is really unhelpful.
It sucks when they stop registering properly, but there is something satisfying about cleaning that gunk out. I have a trackball mouse at work and I clean it every day or two to keep the ball rolling smoothly. It's gross, but I like sticking the tip of a pencil in there and pulling out small lumps of gunk. And it feels especially nice to give the ball a spin after.
That doesn't apply in the case I was discussing though, where the employees are supposed to use their personal devices.
This article below mentions that shipping LNG between continents is now profitable and transporting energy via a gas network is more efficient than electrical transmission (<0.1% loss vs 8%). Electric transmission has benefits in other regards/uses though.

I’m also interested in the idea that we could overbuild solar/wind arrays and make SNG (Sabatier reaction) or town gas with the excess energy. Even if the process is currently 30-40 % efficient, renewable energy has come down in cost enough to make a 2x or 3x larger array more reasonable, all things considered (e.g. environmental concerns).

Your insight is doubly poignant because even though inflation has been thoroughly throttled for most of the time Paul Graham has been alive, the average American worker still somehow has ended up earning less, in inflation adjusted dollars, than 40 years ago. https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2018/08/07/for-most-us...

Think about that. In 40 years the average worker hasn't even gotten a 5% raise.

No. The only tool on the table right now is a discussion about potentially slowing down the speed and amount of money being created.

Only the central bank head and committee’s opinion matters. They are still pretty split on what to do but that is normal.

You can ignore things that senators say when one expresses concern over the money supply, unless dozens of senators say it.

It is much more likely that a scare gets them to pass a prewritten bill which forces the federal reserve to accelerate more money creation.

(It creates money by purchasing investments from people at inflated prices, so people like that and try to make it do more of that)

Murmansk? Or just Jyväskylä?
I saw the Robocop (2014) remake on telly the other day. I couldn't help but wonder why the movie even existed. Its production values were vastly higher than the original, but it was just a completely boring movie. It's like the Total Recall remake. They just have no soul. There's just nothing there in terms of writing. Nothing witty, no great lines. In the original a guy rips his face of revealing his skull, and collapses. Completely daft to be sure, but it was funny. There's a creative spark that current films just don't seem to have. The characters have no personality. The actors have no charisma. Let's face it, Arnie is not a great actor. But he does have onscreen charisma.

There's just a different level of acting in the original Total Recall. Arnie, Ronny Cox, the growling Michael Ironside, Sharon Stone. The other supporting actors bought something to the table. With the remake? Nothing! Colin Farrell was boring, and his wife was leagues behind what Stone portrayed.

Maybe the problem is with the film certificate. RoboCop was a 12A, so I guess the executives thought "to hell with the writing, writing is hard."

Hollywood occasionally gets it right, I guess. Joker (2019) was pretty good, despite being a 15. I thought it was a very cohesive film in the way they chose characters like the dwarf, why Fleck committed the murders he did, and how the whole thing developed. You could tell there was a whole lot more thought put into the script.
Are you inside the trans rights movement and have seen this happen first hand, or can you cite an advocate for trans rights that was shunned by the community? What you describe is an interesting hypothetical problem. In my experience as a trans person participating in the trans community, it is completely divorced from the reality of the situation. People aren’t “canceled” because they aren’t ideologically pure. It’s the opposite, actually.

Trans people often need to grapple with “internalized transphobia”. I experienced this firsthand when I realized I was trans and then felt a wave of disgust and horror. I felt it the first time I went to a trans group meetup and felt embarrassed to be seen with trans people. I felt it every time I was terrified of anyone knowing I was trans. I’m not alone in having these experiences, but my experiences were probably more on the extreme side. Almost no trans person has the luxury of being entirely free of internalized transphobia, and internalized transphobia can manifest in one’s political beliefs. If we shunned every single person who ever disagreed with the “groupthink” then there wouldn’t be anyone left. By necessity, we need to welcome and encourage the process of people learning and growing.

That’s a far cry from the idea that the trans community expels anyone who is critical of them.
IEEE 754 doesn't really have anything to say about which semantics you should choose for int/int division. If you choose the semantics of casting both operands to floating point and then dividing, IEEE 754 specifies both 1) how the int->float conversion should happen, and 2) how the float/float division should happen. But if you choose the semantics that int/int division returns an int without any floating-point conversions (like C's '/' operator), then no floating point numbers enter into the question at all, and it's out of scope for IEEE 754.
The issue is that 95% of the ML ecosystem is in Python so if you're doing ML your best options are Python and things that integrated with Python (ie: PySpark).

People invest tons of their most precious resources — time, mindshare and energy — on their career, and yet do very little conscious planning for it.

Yuga is a Career Planner allowing users to introspect their past/current work, define North Star goals and plan for the near-future (1, 2 years). Yuga also includes a Work Journal to track weekly progress (and also to not lose track of cool things they work on for future resume/self-appraisal writing).

Users can also invite a mentor of their choice onto the Career Planner to give advice on plans.

Yuga helps companies too: we believe that when companies/managers engage on such an employee-centric platform with the employee, their odds of retention go up dramatically. Managers can use Yuga to work on the employee Career Planner and commit opportunities that align with employee interests and they can both track periodic 1:1s in a mutually visible view. This is B2B, but unlike all other HR/corporate processes/software, goes from the employee to the company, instead of the other way around. For context, Yuga uses LinkedIn for login, not enterprise auth.

An engineering analogy if you care: if LinkedIn is the run time of your career, Yuga is the design time environment.

Months ago, this was a rather raw idea:

Yes, they are structural components but as far as I understand the article they are not structurally damaged, though the company is - of course, and as they should - taking the proper precautions to ensure that it really is just a surface issue without affecting the structural integrity of the panels.

I'm quite interested in what the root cause here is, whether it is process related or some formulation issue or an un-anticipated reaction.
