Boris Johnson prepares to overrule experts and offer vaccine to all teenagers
Interview with Peter Thiel by Wired UK at Oxford in 2014

Only the first paragraph addresses the topic

"In its mildest forms, yes. And I think it is an indictment of our society that the people who are most socially adept end up having so little conviction about their ideas.

Since they are so good at picking up on social cues, they quickly internalize any rejection they get and move on to the next thing.

If you go to a place like Harvard Business School, where arguably the people are bright and socially savvy, there is so much groupthink.

In 1989 they all wanted to work for Michael Milken. In the late 1990’s and early 2000’s it was dot com companies. And most other times it is either banking or consulting."

It's not even clear to me if he means there's a positive or a negative correlation. If I could go back in time and not read this article I definitely would.
I like the all-caps yellling here, because it simulates someone talking in detail while the other person is not really willing to change no matter what you say.. so the volume increases .. it will ALSO BITE YOU when you treat intelligent people that way COMMANDER
Whole thread reads like bunch of guys shouting at each other "but but ... I know better!".

IMO this is main topic of the thread and of the article.

There are groups of people who instead of spending time to figure out how to work together and understand what other side has to say, they just throw shit over the fence.

Maybe some could start by reading points at least couple of times and try to understand instead of trying to write personal experiences as fast as they can in reply to other comment that hurts their ego.
They're actually quite tasty, too!

If someone says they are a developer but do not test other browsers I don’t take them very seriously as a developer at all.

I wholeheartedly think it’s a good idea to split browsers between work and personal just so to get familiar with other browsers.
I'm too lazy to look it up, but I wonder if GoDaddy hosts any of those "is your neighbor a sex offender" websites - I'm sure that the people identified by those would rather remain anonymous.

It is not the answer, but definitely part of the answer. When I have to work twice as hard before and after vacation, to make up for it, well, that's pretty damn exhausting.
unless the entire team/company takes vacation at the same time, it is not too helpful.

the person comes back to a ton of work waiting for him.

also, when others take vacation, the work pace often does not stop, and the person, who himself is going through a burnout phase, takes on even more load
The two big ones are:

1. Watching window.innerHeight/innerWidth for sudden, large decreases, indicating that the user just opened the inspector.

2. Logging objects to the console with toString methods and checking if that method gets called.
Two things come to mind.

1. ASML, the almost monopolistic EUV machine maker is in the Netherlands.

2. I vaguely remember reading about Germany always updating a 10year plan and doing long term actions. I don’t know if that’s true, and if this is part of it.

Even so, it would be nice to have more players in this field.

They ruined their reputation for being relatively secure devices. I’m done with them, for good. Anybody who cares about security has likely jumped ship now too. Normies will eventually ditch them when they realize most tech people have bailed. Unfortunately the best alternative, google, is even worse. Hopefully the loss of demand causes a decrease in device sales across the board. Landlines still work. Smartphones and their consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Dev tools are next... same argument... not many people use them.
The most reliable number is excess mortality, although it does lag by a month or so due to how long it takes to collect the date. Here is the chart for the US for the past few years:

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-raw-deat...

You can see the massive drop off earlier this year when the vaccines became massively available. Since then, we've been tracking the upper bound of normal. Not great, but probably not bad considering all of the follow on effects of stress, isolation, closing down routine medical exams, job loss, business loss, and many other assorted things that also contribute to excess mortality.

For comparison, you can see the 2017/2018 flu season impact on excess mortality in the same chart.
It makes sense to hire external if you're trying to grow headcount, or trying to "frontfill" before firing people.
Water isn't an organism, but is also amazing at solving maze and routing problems. In fact, using an inanimate model is often a powerful method of solving such problems.

I think my point was more that something is lost when test problems are extrapolated out of their intended class. You can compare a rat and a dog performance at a maze problem and draw some interesting hypothesis about memory and spatial awareness. but what does it mean to compare a rat vs water? Certainly not the same ideas of cognitive function
I thought the cure for writers block was to just write. It might not be good but just keep writing. There are many great writers who wrote every day no matter how they felt or how well they were writing that day. Action, apparently, tends to cure writer's block.

Not only is it not the answer, vacation can actually be a contributor to burnout, IME.

In my current role, taking PTO is a legitimate punishment. If I take a day off, there is nobody else on my team who has capacity to pick up my work in my absence. When I return from PTO, not only do I now have double the amount of work to catch up on, but I also have 15 emails from angry managers upset that I didn't get to their request sooner.

"you should just take some vacation" is often a convenient escape hatch for managers that want to seem like they're helping, but without actually putting any effort into solving the problems that make people want to escape from work in the first place.
I worked on a project that a company decided to be Chrome only. This was during times when IE was still popular. We were spending a lot of time on cross browser compatibility and at one point the start-up didn't have money to spend on that. We picked Chrome as at the time offered best performance and it was fairly easy to make the app look as intended.
We had to help some customers install Chrome and after that we had amazing velocity and we could focus on features rather than worrying why some customers can't see something etc.
No I did specifically not go to the gitless site because apparently I was supposed to understand it just from the list given in the post. Which isn't true.

I understand what gl branch "is supposed to do" but I don't see why gl switch is its own command given the other reasoning presented for why gl "is better".

I would say it is different. Probably very workable. Completely intuitive and the only reasonable way to do version control? Definitely not.

To me it's very very natural that git checkout will check out any commit I give it. How I specify that commit is up to me. It could be the commit hash. It could be a text label. That text label might on a logical level be a branch. Or a tag. Why do I need to switch branches with a special switch command when checkout handles this perfectly well?
That’s science fiction nonsense. You let us know when the shuttle lands then we’ll talk about human trafficking.
No, not at all. It does pay the bills though.
It is not lack of money, it is lack of will. The political milieu prefers money to be spent into certain pockets, so the transit system is chronically starved of applied funds because most of the money spills into other people's pockets on it's way.

Getting rejected once or twice shouldn't really be a problem, unless you've worked/filled in for that position specifically (and with good results), or your competition happens to be exceptionally good.

But if it turns out to be a pattern, then it's time to move on.
That person might just not want to deal with the politics and the rules. I used to contract for a union and it was super political. Also, everyone got a lunch break from noon-1pm per union rules. We'd all be in a meeting (scheduled from 11-12) and at noon on the dot everyone straight up got up and left. Needed five more minutes to wrap that up? Schedule a separate meeting.

Note I'm not saying that is good or bad... In fact I liked it a lot - work can wait! But the person who said they'd be miserable may just not be able to hang with that.
I wonder if internal rejection should be seen as similar to being put on a PIP: a drawn out layoff.
> Labor arbitrage is efficient production. If you can outsource a job for less than it costs domestically, it means labor is underutilized in the foreign country and can be employed for higher-value uses.

I think the key points are 1) that's not the kind of thing the word "efficiency" typically brings to mind, and 2) there are quite valid political reasons to want to discourage that kind of "efficiency."
union dues create a huge conflict of interest for union leadership. it turns it into a career path and you become a politician.

if union leadership was volunteer, and dues weren’t required, maybe that sort of union would be less susceptible to corruption.
I've seen anything that mentions the word "telemetry" automatically receive down votes on HN. People confuse it with companies collecting user-identifiable data from clients like apps/browsers.
Not one mention of succession. If you’re starting what we already know to be a multigenerational project, then what matters is not what are the “right” trees to grow but what are the right trees to grow to get more trees, and the right trees to grow to get more carbon in the ground. So that’s succession pathways and growing soil by focusing on the soil food web.

From that perspective something like alder or other short-lived tree may be better. They flame out and die young, and then you can seed trees that like to grow on nurse logs, things like hemlock, which will refill the canopy and help keep the process going. Then you plant the monster trees that you see in a mature forest. If you let this happen organically it will of course take longer, but you can nudge things along by planting in clearings instead of waiting a lucky germination, cull trees in areas where they the pioneer trees are doing too well, reintroduce understory plants and other wildlife, microbes, etc.

We have an election coming up and I've been quite vocal to the people on stand about how my people (the conservatives) sold us out by rubber stamping the surveillance bill last year.

I've also sent email and have sent one and will be sending one or more tweets the next few days.
I don’t think so, but can’t test right now, pretty sure I deleted cookies and a cache for one particular domain recently.
That sounds disturbing. However, that is how the military has done things in other domains for generations, and probably forever.

Remember that the term SNAFU came from the military; watch some WWII through Vietnam depictions of it: Before the modern era of its glorification, the US military was synonymous with absurd, screwed-up systems and policies that the soldiers overcame with chewing gum, duct tape, initiative and a sense of humor. (Some say the reputational change is due to the shift from the draft, which caused a wide segment of the population to be familiar with the military, to volunteer professional personnel, which results in most people having no clue about it.)

I'm not saying it's a good thing or that it shouldn't be improved, but the military (and every large institution) have always had a lot of that crap. I remember a Marine officer telling me that to never fly in one of their tilt-rotor aircraft unless I see a lot of hydraulic fluid on the ground - because if I don't, then it's out of hydraulic fluid. As they explained, they go to war with - their lives depend on - tools made by the lowest bidder.
> I'm disappointed to report that Linux needs a lot of improvement to be viable for most people. I'm forging ahead, donating to open source software and hardware projects, filing bug reports, and generally bringing the Mac spirit to Linux. "It just works."

IMO it would go a long way if we taught computer literacy and specifically Linux literacy to everyone in school. Microsoft and Google have all the school contracts and they bring people up on systems that "just work" (actually they have paid system administrators). If we taught people from a young age to use Linux and handle problems, then the small problems that often come up with open source need not be barriers to adoption. Even if every regular person can't always solve every linux problem, if they were familiar enough to use it and had at least one expert friend, they'd be fine.

That's not to say we shouldn't strive to make Linux "just work" for most people, but we can attack the problem from other angles as well.
They want people to buy new Macs that will be coming soon and then they'll switch the feature. I hope I am wrong.
SEC steps up research into brokers’ ‘gamification’ of trades, Chair says
I also have had an Oryx Pro for several years. I stuck with System76's branded Linux, just do updates as they are available, and so far all has been well. I like that they keep CUDA working with very few hassles.

Compare this to my migration to a M1 MacBook Pro: I love it, but it is rough doing deep learning on it.
I have no doubt it's meant in good faith at many companies, but it's almost sure to be used unfairly. A lot of people, especially folks who don't feel safely part of whatever in-group, are going to be hesitant to push that policy, especially because being on vacation can be an imposition on your coworkers.

I suspect you could implement the same policy in practice with less social anxiety by mandating N weeks of vacation and allowing additional time off upon request.
I ordered a Pangolin yesterday as I've been waiting for an AMD laptop forever. This is my third System76 laptop, and the first two are still great.

My first was a Galago Pro, and my only complaint was that I went HiDPI. That was just a bad choice on my part. The software supports it fine, I just don't prefer it in a laptop unless it's literally a Mac-level Retina-quality panel. It wasn't, but it's half the price point.

My other is a Gazelle 15", which dual-boots Arch and Windows. I use it primarily as a gaming box when I travel (remember those days?). I spent a lot of raid nights on various MMOs from hotel rooms. It works great.

Really looking forward to the Pangolin. Mine is still in "building" status.

I see a lot of sh*t written about System76 because they are just rebranded Clevos. Well...yeah? They are, and they are fine. I would rather give money to a company like System76 a thousand times over than someone dripping with anti-consumer behavior like Dell.

How do they make it so slow, is my question. I've seen my computer do physics simulations synchronized with 11 other players, updating my screen 360 times a second and my headphones 48,000 times a second. But then JIRA takes 5 seconds to say "you have 3 bugs open". How is it even possible? Like what code do you type in to make it run so slowly? It boggles my mind.
From the article: "London is a great finance center in a way that New York is not." It became a great finance center in part because the UK was in the EU and also had strong connections to the USA. That is broken now, so it is all downhill, a lot of that business (not all of it, but a significant amount) will leave town.

> If their "preferences and pecadilloes" don't match yours, why is that any skin off your nose?

You're right, that specifically is not skin off my nose or anyone else's. By the same token that you're not disagreeing with the content of my argument, I'm not disagreeing with GP's[0] opinion per se, but just pointing out that the hostility they're getting is a self-fulfilling prophecy brought about by the way they're expressing it. I'm not belittling their opinion, I'm belittling the fact that they are coming to this discussion with a position of 'Linux is bad because I don't like it for Reasons™ and if you disagree with that you're just another hater I don't have to explain myself to'. It's lame and unproductive and combative and not a quality contribution.

[0] Sidenote: I've never seen the term "GP" before - clearly you're referencing u/AnIdiotOnTheNet in some fashion similar to "OP" but would be curious to know what exactly that means.
> Edge is somehow integrated into Windows 10 so by removing it you could break the OS. (Just why??)

One technical reason is probably that the majority of it - the engine - is also what drives Webview2 (a web view that you can embed into your applications just like you could embed IE into your applications).
I think that being up-front about the product being in beta is better.

If I "try it for free" and see a product that's not good enough for release, I'll give up and never come back again. If I know your product is in beta, I could see myself signing up to get notified when the product is officially released.

I'm not drinking any koolaid, I just have not found anything better, apart from Firefox.
The issue here is that "making a web browser" isn't a sustainable business. You could force Google to spin off Chrome...and then what? The new "Chrome Inc." would probably need to either start integrating ads or start charging money to even have a chance at not immediately going under.

The only reason Firefox is even able to exist is Google propping them up with lots of extra money.
Your opinion will change pretty quick once they start banning "your" side. Which they will, if you start speaking too much about the kinds of things that go against the official Uniparty narratives. Such things exist on both sides of the political spectrum, it's just that the pendulum is to the right at the moment. No reason why it couldn't swing the other way.
iCloud is trivial to hack. Recall the massive leak of celebrity nudes a few years back. As long as iCloud is forced on users (you cannot apply security updates to an apple device without an Apple ID and an attached iCloud account) these attacks will be simple to do in mass, with very little risk to the perpetrators. Terrible security model, with a long history of spectacular and avoidable breaches which go totally unsolved.
I second this question.

Developers who know how to do this are relatively scarce. The military almost certainly does not have enough of them.
Unlimited PTO is crazy to me. It takes the principles of spelled-out employment terms and throws them in the trash.

The "flexible hours" policy was bad enough at my last job. Wildly varying interpretations between different managers and department heads under the same roof.

There are absurd numbers of overengineered BS tech just because someone needed to put it on a CV or were just measuring dicks.
There's also tons of extremely useful software that has zero design thinking in it, therefore even though the features are great, the usability isn't..
>Yeah, hippies get a little too excited about the mind of the fungus or whatever when they hear the word "intelligence" applied to fungi. Who cares.

I care about the inflation of terms like intelligence and the selling of science as "woah dude" to get clicks. A professor of biology isn't necessarily an expert in what should be called "intelligence" or immune to writing things worth criticism.

People are constantly amazed that things that are alive aren't as inert as a rock, yes life is cool, but you don't need to thing that everything which interacts with the environment has an experience like "thinking".

>Thus, in the way that biologists use the word "intelligence", fungi are intelligent

In the way that this biologist is using the word, but it is well worth questioning that use of the word. Saying everything in the world is intelligent sort of makes the term not have any meaning. Is my mechanical thermostat intelligent?

Really simple systems can have complex behavior when you don't understand how they work, and when you do figure the system out you can be impressed by how something simple can accomplish but simple machines aren't intelligent, intelligence is something different and much more special.
I think that's valid and I want that possibility for everyone. I don't want it linked to work, though.
