Thanks for the explanation. This description is easy to grasp and makes sense. I tried to look for some numbers following your description and it seems like that the H1B wages are not lower than local market in average according to this Glassdoor study [0]. After reading it I was curious to see what’s the ratio of H1B for tech jobs (which is probably dominating the Glassdoor study) and apparently it’s the majority according to this Pew Research study [1].

In the context of their statement, if natural immunity is as good as vaccination, then there is no gain from vaccination.
Pardon if I'm misunderstanding the layout you're describing, but I do wonder:

1. How often do pedestrians wander into those bike lane?

2. What are the rules at intersections? Specifically, does a bike lane along a major road have priority over minor roads at intersections, or are bikes required to give way to all traffic from both the major and the minor roads?

3. How obvious is it to drivers turning right from the rightmost lane that they might, in fact, be crossing a bike lane?

I would guess it is because there was no evolutionary pressure to have joints that can sustain 80 years if there are other parts of body that only sustain 18. Maybe I am missing something but I would expect that life expectancy of various parts of body of each specie converge because of that.

There has been a go2 proposal for better error handling, so there is no issue trying to improve things or adding needed features. But things go slowly and must be discussed and vetted before being accepted because the language has few features and they will stick so the filter is quite high. See generics, it took a long time but its coming.

There's a trick companies like Facebook use to try and protect users from copy pasting malicious scripts in devtools: when they detect it opening (probably keyboard event), they print a big scary warning using console.log/error [1]

Assuming the first things most scrapers do is open the site in devtools, this would be a great place to print some text with a page specific Wikidata query that will pull in the exact same information as the current page along with a link to a really good hacker style tutorial + appendix of how to guides. Even better would be an option to turn on some sort of dev mode with mouseover tool tips that show queries for every bit of info on the page. Anything that breaks the feedback loop between the code and the browser will decrease the probability that the scraper will use wikidata. Think of it as a weird inverse user retention problem

Specialized worrying about small shops is certainly ironic. They definitely have been one of the players central at pushing out the small shops. They were one of the first pushing concept stores and are really squeezing the margins of small shops.

It's been an interesting observation to see how all the big brands have been massively increasing their margins through cheap manufacturing in China (a frame that costs >$4000 retail is less than $300 for those guys to get to the US) while the margins are incredibly low for the actual shops (<10% often) especially on high end bikes. I know many shops now make their primary income on bike servicing.

I think specialized avoiding amazon is more a case that they don't want to stay the big guy that can push the small shops around, instead having to deal with the 500lb gorilla that amazon is.
My source for this comment is the Linux Device Drivers Development book from about 2004 still being the primary source of information on linux development and when asked about an updated version the response was something like "Back when it was written we needed more developers on linux but not anymore". As well as the comment from linus which I can't find anymore where he says other OSS projects need help more than linux.

Ads rescued Dart from dying, because when Chrome abandoned the project, then just had gone through the GWT to Dart rewrite.

Flutter then gave Dart extra resources by picking it instead of JavaScript.

Since then they have been on a crusade to keep Flutter relevant.

For me it isn't a coincidence that Jetpack Composer was born as Flutter was getting increasing adoption.

Except there is a big difference between Java/Kotlin and anything that uses NDK, outside graphics rendering, every OS API call on Android needs to go through either JNI or Android IPC.
> Furthermore, given the symptoms observed in humans, if we are to assume similar symptoms in the wild animals

I am not a biologist, nor a doctor, but I think this assumption is a little bit too much. We know that coronavirus does not create the same symptoms as the ones observed in humans for some animals (see bats for example) as their immune system is not like ours. So the conclusion: "symptoms in wild animals are similar with humans" is probably false.
It's some column they're calling "Economic Views" with the description saying it's "A column that explores life through an economic lens with leading economists and writers." They probably should put that it's an opinion on the top of the article just to be clear upfront.

> That's why we know where the GOX coins are and this is why that hacker can't use those coins. As soon as they try to turn that into real money we got 'em.

What stops them from converting the coins into something else (e.g. some other cryptocurrency or commodity) in a jurisdiction that doesn't do KYC, and then converting that into dollars? Or just dumping it into a cryptocurrency tumbler?

The whole concept of tracing the source of money is kind of ridiculous. If somebody robs a bank and the bank robber buys a shoe and the shoemaker buys a cake and the baker buys a portrait and the artist buys a screw driver and the hardware store owner deposits the money with that serial number in the bank, the hardware store owner has really nothing to do with the bank robbery, and isn't going to remember which of their thousand customers paid them with that specific bill.

And if you try to say the hardware store owner doesn't get to keep the money all you're doing is causing the money to be stolen twice.
Christopher Alexander's "A Timeless way of building" is a very good book, but his "Notes on the synthesis of form" is perhaps even better - and shorter. And is maybe 10x more relevant to programming. I think "A Timeless way of building" is good reading so you see how object oriented design really is not based on it, but that the timeless way of building discusses higher level composition of systems based on constraints, and how similar constraints result in situations where similar solutions are applicable. Recognizing patterns in systems, and applying existing patterns of solutions on them is hardly unique to object oriented programming.

My point is more that "being human" limits any type of knowledge acquisition, as we are tribal/political beings.

Check the nature podcasts I linked to, they go into quite some detail and give good examples.

I don't think, we as humans can understand an objective truth. A concept of knowledge makes only sense if we as species can comprehend it. This means knowledge and intelligence need to be embodied. Yet, if they are, they must be limited by the embodiment.

Foucault makes some interesting arguments around that.
Hi Brian, welcome to HN and thank you for joining this discussion.

I will admit that QuickLogic was not a household name for me but the SoCs you have do tick a lot of boxes for me. I have now ordered a Qomu dev kit to evaluate, I am looking forward to see how the workflow/toolchain are like.

A final question, when trying to order a QuickFeather from Europe, I get a 'restricted availability' message that Mouser is unable to deliver the dev kit in my EU country due to 'government regulations'.

In the past I had to go through a few hurdles/forms when using a specific chip for a medical device because it apparently was also used in some form of US defense application. Is that something EU buyers should expect from Quicklogic products in general? It's not a show stopper but it would be good to know ahead of designing anything.
I like your sarcasm.

Both of those things are trivial to replace.
The point is that no one has solved healthcare, contrary to the OP's point. It is certainly more equitable in places like Canada, but of a lower quality at the high end in virtually every country compared to the US, and it often takes months to see a specialist (but everyone gets a chance, if they don't have an urgent condition, that is).

America's healthcare system is terrible, but socializing it like other countries have done isn't going to solve the problem (root causes include a massive shortage of doctors, a norm of bundling insurance with employment, lack of pricing transparency, partially socialized healthcare, as described in the article, and a system in which it costs a billion dollars to get a drug approved).
haha, combined with the "no cheap shit" feature tagline, there's a funny trend here! ;)
Blame the complete and total lack of any competition as well. To this day hospitals often outright refuse to quote the pricing of treatments and drugs, drugs can't be re-imported from cheaper locales (such as India or even Canada), and if one happens to be uninsured, hospital prices are truly eye watering even though you're paying cash, and hospital would not get anywhere near as much if you went through insurance. One would hope the _realistic_ solutions to all of this are blindingly obvious, and yet...

Big Pharma is so deeply entrenched that Trump couldn't even make any headway with "favored nations" domestic pricing that he proposed. It makes sense: I, a freelancer, for instance, can't charge my larger clients more because of such a clause.

And whatever drugs he did make cheaper (insulin, epi pens), Biden restored the pricing on almost immediately after taking office. Read the fact checks, they bury this particular lede really, really well, so you'll have to read very carefully, much like I used to read Pravda when I was a kid in the USSR.
>And like for deliveries... what do you want people to do? Not stop in front of the place they are delivering?

When you make a delivery, do you just stop dead in the middle of the lane you were driving on?

If yes, please proceed.

If not, why not? Don't you want to stop in front of the place you are delivering to? Why do you think that it is ok to completely block bicycle lane for the same purpose, but it's not ok to block a car lane? For an extra point, assume the car lane is a single-lane one-way road, and the delivery takes 5 minutes.
First past the post is a terrible voting system. It forces two main parties, and doesn't represent anyone whose candidate didn't win in their locality.

Representative ( or mixed representative with preferential, where you vote for a party list and for a person specifically who gets ahead) is much better, and would certainly alleviate many of the US political system's issues ( like the immediate politicisation of every issue among party lines)
In the UK you're not only allowed to take the whole lane, the Department for Transport (through Bikeability) calls this the primary road position for cyclists. The guidance is that this should be the default, with the secondary position (~1m to the left) only used when the road is wide and the rider is certain that keeping to the left wouldn't compromise their safety.

As far as I understand the article, thats should not matter in this case. They did not "touch" the coins to cause this problem. They just recorded their value in SEK instead the raw number of BTC so when the process was over, they had to pay back the difference between what they sized originally (36 BTC, 1.3mio SEK a few years/months ago) and what they wrote down in their records (1.3 mio SEK or ~3 BTC nowadays).

The same might happen for every other "foregin" currency, right?

> Then keep another key somewhere else, like with a fellow traveler or at the hotel

Hotels aren’t safe for valuables and people travel alone. We’re getting pretty far removed from convenience here as well. Might as well suggest people keep their keys shoved up their ass.
Actually in Germany bike lanes are typically on the other side next to the sidewalk which in my experience is much more dangerous. It gives the indication to cars that bikes are more like pedestrians, they get often overlooked at intersections, dooring is an even bigger issue, because people getting out the car to the street side tend to least look back to avoid cars coming and next to the sidewalk one also has to deal with pedestrians who don't pay attention.

In my experience, the more in the way of cars you are as a cyclist the safer you are. You still need to have clear markings, but you should always be in sight of drivers IMO, as an active participant in traffic.
Due to the vaccine not being approved for children yet, the numbers will be low. Here in Canada it appears to lag by about 10% of the eligible population, so until that happens, 80% is probably the maximum limit I would expect.

However, with the high R0 of Delta taking its toll, it looks like places are starting to take the approach of making people's lives more limited if they aren't fully vaccinated without quite going to the level of mandating vaccination.

Depends a lot on the companies and positions you’re interviewing for. I work in technical security these days and did very little in the way of actual code quizzes compared to when I was a straight up software engineer.

I think it also helps to remember that interviews are two-way. If you see a company with an insane interview process, do you really have confidence in the quality of a team you’d be on when you got to the other side of it?

These days I generally look for and focus on a few things when I interview with a company I’m interested in:

1. How do they make money?

2. Do they understand how they make money? Alternatively, do they understand their market, customers, and product value?

3. How mature is management? Good managers make or break your job satisfaction and dictate how good a company is at hiring & retaining talent, as well as dealing with adversity like professional adults.

4. How much of the work I’m doing is driven by planning as opposed to circumstance. E.g. am I working off a roadmap or expecting to spend the majority of my time handing incidents and fighting fires.

Your mileage may vary, but I suspect these good or bad interview practices will only exist as long as hiring managers allow them to.

Even if you replace the calorie intake, you can't easily replace the employment, so they can't pay for that new food.

Why do people feel the need to deny being “conspiracy theorists?” Many conspiracy theories have been proven true: they were spying on all of your phone calls, they did know that cigarettes cause cancer, etc.

>The US is the only Western nation with the demographics (population size and age), political will, technological capacity, and economic ability to challenge a surging China or resurgent Russia (which inherited the might of the Soviet Union to build off of) on the world stage.

>How many Americans would change their tone on military spending if China or Russia were calling the shots on world issues? On spreading their views on governance or human rights? Or if the balance of power shifted so much that more nations decided it was time for them to get nuclear weapons too (imagine Saudi Arabia getting nukes...)?
