I have felt the worst for my Jr Engineers... usually you come out of college and you get sat with a few seniors, and we show you the ropes. We help you through it all, and defend, or attack your positions as we see fit for your learning in enterprise software. Suddenly you don't have someone sitting next to you that you can say does this look right... worse if you ask over IM client, you have no idea that they are heads down in some other totally more important issue. They suffer the worst since without them, we can't have more seniors.

Just from the paper (OP), they do not show their measurement setup on the electronics (I and V) side.

Simply measuring the I-V characteristics of a quantum-sensitive device is a far cry from showing that it will spontaneously deliver both I and V -- i.e. power out.

Even if it did, it might be through cooling of one of the masses involved. I.e., cooling of the thermal mass in a mirror or metal electrode. They are talking about harvesting, after all. [Edit: the APS paper also refers to hot carriers; sounds very much like coupling to the solid state.]

I though I agree most of the points in this article except `Auto-updates you can’t switch off`. Well, It never should, at least not done easily. The windows xp told us a serious lesson about that. Countless of systems compromised due update disabled. Although I also think push feature removal updates forcefully is silly. The only thing should be forcefuly updated is bug fix.

I think there’s an episode of Star Trek TNG where Geordie creates a bot that he believes might be sentient. If it’s sentient, it has rights. But (of course) they need the bot to go on a mission that would require it to give it’s “life” to save the ship and crew.

I wish I could recall how the episode ends. Although I’m sure Picard found a way to save the sentient bot and the enterprise.
It seems pretty correct to me (excluding a few things I'm not familiar enough with to evaluate).

Is it possible that you misinterpreted this as a post about << and >> in code rather than their usage in mathematics?
Some of us don't mask "just to go to the grocery store". That's HN software engineer privilege, 100%.

Many people, including little children, are expected to wear these masks 8 hours a day.

You have no idea what damage you are causing for the lower classes, the less fortunate, and American public school children.

Nor do you understand the effect this has had on the campaign for mass vaccination.

I can assure you this is significant. Minority enclaves in my city (Chicago), largely regard masks as "white people bullshit". I work in these communities.

It's not a stretch to see why they apply that same logic to vaccine mandates (even if the vaccines would be beneficial for most of their community).
This is why Google cannot be compared to Facebook.

Not quite: if you have no data, you get new hires and news systems to collect and track it.

You may be ignorant, but you know it, and can deal with it. Let's call is starting from 0.

When you have bad data, you frequently don't know that you have bad data until things go very very wrong. You aren't starting from 0. 0 would be an improvement.
I would say drugging young kids with stimulants that have lifelong dependency implications as a kind of sacrifice for the greater good of the larger class is just morally reprehensible.

$1m pre-seed without an MVP and first-time founders? I'd be curious to hear if they manage to get a round closed. I also think this may be a US phenomena, due to the number of VCs chasing deals.

I'm based in Australia, and VCs here still "like" to see traction. the other difference here, as I understand it, is that VCs are taking a smaller equity percentage in seed stage (12%-20%).

I have to disagree with your comment re: [what] startup that is hatchig today that will unseat Amazon in the next 30 years"?

My take, Apple, Amazon, and Google didn't "unseat" DEC and Sun. They created entirely new categories that didn't exist before. Just because IBM, DEC, and Sun were well placed and "should" have owned these categories doesn't mean the were unseated by them.

Some people are still looking for the "next facebook/youtube/etc", but the real opportunity isn't in challenging incumbents, but in creating markets where incumbents don't exist.
My point about employment is that if employees had a good amount of bargaining power to say no (and not just yes to a different employer that will tend to move in lock step), then arbitrary requirements by any given employer wouldn't much matter. It's only the fact that people need a continual income to pay their financial rents that is the source of their needing to work and accept poor conditions. If we want to increase liberty in the general sense, then we need to concentrate on making it so people aren't mashed together in such zero sum engagements.

For cops lying to suspects, I have a hard time seeing how that is an exercise in liberty. They're working as agents of the state, and thus need to perform the specified job - if they wish to lie, then they can quit their job. For sure there is a tradeoff involving their effectiveness versus the liberty of individuals, but that isn't a tradeoff of liberty versus liberty. For this topic, the ACLU should be in the "flat no" camp regardless of where we might want the practical boundary.
I'm very confused by this comment. If you think of telemetry like a vote, disabling it is essentially forfeiting your vote, so it doesn't really make sense to me to complain that you are then not represented. If you've ever been to a big catered event, this is like a person who refuses to speak up when asked if they want the vegetarian option and then gets mad when only meat is served. You can't expect the organizers to order two of every meal and then throw out the ones people didn't want.

Turning off telemetry by default is also not an option, because then they would have no data, and would just be making decisions at random -- I really doubt that would please you either.

Yes. This is where you get into culture, which is harder to foster.

A few things that I've observed helping:

- the aforementioned tech helps pointing the out "bridges" the can cross. Onboarding should capture team (team= DEV, or team=OPS or team=QA, etc) which gives the employee (via password manager), inmediate access to all the virtual "water coolers" that the team uses. Think slack channels, JIRA Projects or Clickup spaces. From that point its up to the candidate's curiosity, and helps the new addition feel included. Employees can't be a part of the team if they aren't part of the conversation. That conversation is the bridge they need to cross, of course.

- The military uses the buddy system for good reason. Its generally a very good idea to pair up hires during orientation if your pipeline allows for this, even if they are not the same function.

- Some extracurriculars are also helpful. Book clubs sponsored during company lunch time, periodic hackatons, etc.

- One thing that can help is a flex budget for late night dinner or drinks. A lot of socialization happens in the latter part of the day, particularly of the team is working late on a regular basis. The seamless credit, or that company tab in the bar across the street can go a long way. This just needs to be done responsibly.
Step 1) plant evidence of crime

Step 2) call police

Do you propose that we do away with police, telephones, or crime, to solve this problem?
Perhaps it's my own observer bias of growing up in that era, with San Francisco's KGO 810 and Air America on one dial, and Michael Savage on KNEW 910 on another, and flipping through Free Republic/Pajamas Media and Democratic Underground/DailyKos online, but I think I might have preprogrammed myself to think of the U.S. as an irreconcilable mess of feuding echo chambers.
How do you know she abused him? Seems like you’re jumping to conclusions; (almost) none of us know anything about the situation so perhaps it is better to avoid speculating?
> I did less than a year after starting the "meds." Then I got in trouble for discussing suicide with another student

I'm sorry to hear that. I believe that's why we had mandated psychiatric visits while my daughter was on the medication. We couldn't get refills without meeting with the doctor to discuss how it was going. It definitely sounds like it wasn't working well for you, either because of how the medication expressed itself in your case or your specific school situation, or a combination thereof.

> Maybe we could re-evaluate the school system instead of drugging kids to be more scared and spineless?

While I'm not going to argue that school couldn't do with a bit of change, I'm not sure it's fair to extrapolate what everyone's experience is from what happened to you.

As an example, I remember an incident early in seventh grade there was an incident in gym class when we were being taught the fundamentals of wrestling, where after one match and unfortunate classmate earned himself the nickname 'boner' and the ridicule to go with it, which lasted a few years. This undoubtedly made his life much harder. A number of lessons could be taken away from that situation, but "we should stop teaching wrestling in gym class" is probably not one of the better ones.

Should we stop medicating students? Maybe. That probably depends on quite a lot of factors, most of which I don't know enough about. But I would hope that a better solution where those that the medication helps take it and those that it doesn't or the problems associated with it are enough to make it a bad choice don't is an achievable outcome that we should strive for.
Yep, this blog post is in the context of using these symbols in mathematics, where this is the only usage of << and >> that I've seen.

I agree that programming languages, it can mean various things, just like < and > mean different things in C++ vs bash vs drawing arrows.

I don't have historic data, but I feel like there is more of a range than there used to be, where I am in the northeastern US.

At a popular grocery chain, the store brand of pasta is 1,9€/kg, which is the price I'm mentally anchored to ($1/lb).

But Barilla is the equivalent of 3,3€/kg, and that's what I generally buy.

Then there are the specialty or organic brands touted as "premium" or made with "bronze dies" that are like 6€/kg.

I am surprised if it is possible to generalize like you do for coffee and wine. I am used to there being a huge range of prices for any staple.

A thing I am noticing more and more is that the larger containers often have higher unit pricing.
> Indeed if you had perfect insight into all neuronal activity you could probably print output the activity generating thoughts leading to a response.

You're casually pretending that we pretty much know how thinking works. We literally do not know at all. We know how a machine learning computer program works, and we know it is a deterministic mathematical calculation. It's meaningless to draw any conclusions from a comparison between ML and human thought which we don't understand at all.
> I definitely learned never to call the police unless someone is literally getting ready to jump off a building.

This is an important lesson. Do not call the police unless you literally just want them to remove a nuisance and you don't care what happens to the person or how they are dealt with. Even then, police are just a wild card with the potential for life altering outcomes.

My brother called the police once because his then girlfriend was acting really crazy/violent after a night out drinking (not the first time) and they almost arrested HIM.

Some of the world's most used and innovative software was crafted by smart people all over the world whose small talk was mediated almost entirely over email, BBS, IRC etc.

This continues to be the case, it's just the mediums have changed slightly, while they're still mostly text-based, there's also the multimedia-based methods thanks to things like ubiquitous video, voice and conference calling.

There will always be consequences. If you attack your neighbour there is a chance that it will go badly for you. There is also a chance that a group of neighbours will join forces to remove you as a threat. That’s the kind of dynamics that has created the modern society: groups of people joining forces to overpower individuals that refuse to leave their neighbours alone.

Maybe it's an issue of dosage. At the levels you would prescribe outside of the hospital to a patient presenting with symptoms of schizophrenia, it can definitely cause sedation. At higher doses, you could probably say that it is a powerful seditive. It just seems disingenuous in the context of this article - to explain to the layman what the medication is - to call it a powerful sedative. It is an antipsychotic which has sedating effects.

Warfarin is a blood thinner. Warfarin was originally used as rat poison. If a nurse gave it to someone they didn't like to increase their risk of internal bleeding, would it be more accurate for a journalist to say that the nurse administered a blood thinner that was not appropriate or rat poison?

Keep in mind that the involuntary commitment system that was largely dismantled in the 80s was a hotbed of abuse - both of the people committed to it, and of the reasons for which people would get committed to it.

Falling out with your business partner? Want to get rid of your wife, so you can move in with your mistress? Your kid came out gay, or atheist? Dad has money, and you don't want to wait for him to die? Involuntary commitment was a fantastic solution for all of these problems.

If you weren't crazy before you get sent to a mental institution, you almost certainly would be after you involuntarily spent some time in one.

That’s not how it actually works. Most businesses work together for many years and it is a win-win situation. If you screw over your business partners you will very quickly run out of partners to work with.
The biggest reason is lack of internal quality control. You can't record the interview for later review. Experienced interviewers do not observe or "crash" interviews so feedback can be given to the interviewer.
Julia is a rather popular (though not the most popular) language which makes extensive use of Unicode symbols in the language. I had some fun with it at the start of this year building out a package for astrodynamics where, thanks to being able to use math symbols, the code was a near exact translation of the formulas in the textbooks I was using.

Fortress is a much less popular language (perhaps, to be accurate, it should be described as a failed experiment) which was intended to permit the same thing. Offering an ASCII, Unicode, and prettified presentation of code.

There are quite a few other languages which support Unicode characters, though most of those don't aim for the same symbol heavy presentation of mathematical code.

However, the submitted article is not about programming languages so your post and this response are both off-topic.

Palm’s webos was likely 10 years ahead of its time.

It was one of the few devices where web based technologies were first class citizens.

Applications and the entire UI were built in JavaScript and HTML.

iOS and Android were, and are not as able to express via web interactions. It was difficult to even compile web apps as mobile apps for the iOS web store.

The desktop didn’t belong to anyone and was reasonably open from an app perspective. So was the web.

Maybe webos or something like it will emerge in the future and let us see what tightly managed mobile environments we live with.

Possibly so, but this is a site that tends to concentrate on programming rather than maths. Anyway, I stand by my opinions about introducing extra glyphs into programming languages.
This is missing the Deuterocanon – the additional books found in Catholic and Orthodox Bibles but which most Protestant Bibles nowadays exclude – books such as those of Maccabees (both Catholic and Orthodox Bibles include 1 & 2; Orthodox Bibles add the 3rd book and occasionally even a 4th), Sirach (aka Ecclesiasticus), the Wisdom of Solomon, Tobit, Judith, Baruch. Catholics and Orthodox together are over 60% of the world's Christians, so over 60% of the Christians in the world use Bibles including these books.

Right now it only has two Bible translations – KJV and ASV – KJV includes these books, but in this website's copy of it they are missing. In the KJV, they were relegated to a separate section called the "Apocrypha". Catholics and Orthodox oppose that name, and that segregation. Protestants viewed them as having "lesser authority", primarily on the argument that Jews do not consider them to be scripture. By contrast, the Catholic Church declared the Deuterocanon to be of equal authority to the rest of the Bible at the Council of Trent, and many Orthodox adopt the same view.

Starting in the 19th century, there was a movement among Protestants to exclude these books from the Bible entirely, rather than simply relegate them to a separate section as previous generations of Protestants had done. As a result, the majority of contemporary Protestant Bibles omit them. Even the majority of contemporary printings of the KJV are missing those books, although in doing so those printings are being inauthentic to the intentions of its original translators and editors.

The other translation this site has, the ASV, is an early 20th century American revision of the late 19th century English Revised Version. The English Revised Version included the "Apocrypha" section, but following this movement against these books among Protestants, the ASV excluded it. (A minority of printings of the ASV do include an "Apocrypha" section, but that is taken from the English Revised Version, it did not form part of the American revision process.)

Another saying is that all data relationships become many-to-many over time. First you think that each customer has a phone number, but then you find that they often have several phone numbers, and some phone numbers will belong to multiple customers, and so on.

Huh, it's funny but I have seen >> to the nth degree used in casual internet slang to indicate a similar concept. Almost certainly just used intuitively for emphasis, but it's interesting that it's also a real notation.
I think the negative and totally inaccurate depiction of psychiatric care on TV and in movies is why people are surprised that antipsychotics actually really help most people who are prescribed them.
The root cause was a chain of known exploits due to very out of date software:

* RunC v1.0.0-rc2 was released on Oct. 1, 2016, and was vulnerable to at least two container breakout CVEs.

* ACI was hosted on clusters running either Kubernetes v1.8.4, v1.9.10 or v1.10.9. These versions were released between November 2017 and October 2018 and are vulnerable to multiple publicly known vulnerabilities.

Running multitenant workloads in Kubernetes is notoriously difficult, and staying on top of patches is simply table-stakes.
> Some of the world's most used and innovative software was crafted by smart people all over the world whose small talk was mediated almost entirely over email, BBS, IRC etc.

At what speed though? You're obviously correct that such small talk can and does happen over asynchronous communication protocols. But I would imagine it's far slower than doodling on a napkin with a colleague during break. Businesses are going to desire something faster. So far, nothing has beaten a simple phone call in my (admittedly limited) remote work experience.
I wonder what the side projects were…
"It's scary to think that the entire software industry is controlled by a few gate keepers, and if you piss them off, the chances of you ever selling a piece of software ever again are basically zero."

I mean that same argument can be said for doing business within any ecosystem. It's really not that scary and is the reality of life.

If you pissed off X then your chances of Y again are basically 0.

(x, y) = Amazon, selling books

(x, y) = Google, selling apps

(x, y) = SEC, trading stocks

(x, y) = U.S., having fair tariffs

What would the opposing choice be? Should we have the freedom to break the rules set by the governing body while participating in their ecosystem? Certainly, we should be able to challenge them hence this case.
Ok, what if it were a raffle and the winner gets a date with a supermodel? That's a non-cash prize for which I think would be similarly difficult to assess the cash value and yet I imagine they would regulate that.
