> According to Italian sources, minister Cingolani is worried that in Italy what we call "the motor valley" will have to close if forced to rebuilt itself in only 14 years

And this right here is why it would have been so important for the EU to announce an EU-wide EV ban 20 years ago and provide research incentives for electric and hydrogen. That would have given everyone ample time to change course, to retrain workers and avoid building investment ruins. But unfortunately, the German car lobby was extremely influential, up until Dieselgate when even the EU Parliament wasn't amenable to bribery any more. Now, climate change is forcing everyone's hand and everyone is off worse as a result of that inaction.
I dont know much about all of the CEO's of AMD. However the grandparent comment said not to defer to MBA's not that the CEO was an MBA

What i have seen in other companies is that even if the CEO is a subject matter expert, they get to the level of CEO then start deferring business matters to the MBA's who are viewed as subject matter experts of business. This weak leadership and difference to MBA's often leads to extreme short term thinking and lack of vision centered around quarterly probability statements not around core competences or a vision for making the companies product good
We’re past that point for fission, no way to build new plants fast enough. It’s renewables or bust at this point.

A concept is simply a pattern used to generalize the underlying data, such patterns are regularly represented by symbols. For example: [x..x+y] is a range pattern, it generalizes any set of numbers that fall within the pattern's bounds, that data could be [0,1,2] or [4,5] or... it goes on forever.

You might want to spend some time reading up on formal logic, it should only take a few minutes for you to recognize how bad your take on symbolic logic is.

> bitter, ostracised people who want to lash out

Yet all of his examples are of conservatives, even though liberals do the same (often worse). The whole article itself was a very politely written “lashing out” at people who vote differently than he does.
Giving up isn't how to escape apathy or idiocracy either.
What I do, is get up at 5AM (I “sleep in” on weekends, and get up at 5:30), and walk 2 miles (3.2Km). I’ve been doing it for many years.

It won’t give me washboard abs (I wonder how many people understand what a “washboard” is?), but it helps keep me from keeling over and popping my clogs.

I also use a standing desk (and have, for many years).

Neither of these things makes my day any more pleasant, but I feel they help.

Also, I can’t say enough for the concept of personal discipline. I feel that self-discipline, just by itself, contributes greatly to improved mental and physical health.
I did say “seems more vital” because I have read a lot of the classics, for enjoyment and instruction, and find a lot of current writing on the topics discussed in classical literature to be derivative at best.

TBF there’s a survivorship bias in older work: the stuff people found useful has been more likely to survive. Also a more modern (i.e. anyone in the subsequent couple of millennia) has to say something new, not just repeat the old. Which is harder to do.

I’m not arguing that the current world isn’t amazing (went to the moon! Reduction in poverty and higher living standard! I’m typing this comment on an iPad!). Simply making the point that it’s hardly uniquely so (and arguably the 2021st century has so far not been the peak of technical or social development).

What is unusual of the current age is the widespread belief that the current times are somehow unusual.

In unbalanced markets supply and demand, create behavior. Try to buy a house in a hot market lately? It's pretty rough. Try and sell a house lately? You tell all your bidders, "Highest and best" and you only pay attention to the ones that are serious, waive contingency, allow you to stay in the house for free for 6 months while you look for another place and on and on. Yes you can call those sellers arrogant but what's really going on is that there are fewer homes for sale than what's demanded.
Set an allocated time, and during that time. Try to do anything that makes your body move. Also, try to rest your eyes as possible.

The hottest new perk in tech: A week off for burnout recovery
While the grandparent post is clearly misguided or willfully misleading, there is a thing in Germany about artificially expensive electricity for domestic users, which subsidizes price cuts for industrial users, and subsidies to the otherwise unprofitable coal industry.
Can you talk more about the air quality situation? What'd you find from the monitors, what did you do to remedy it, and what changed once you fixed it?
There are plenty of companies in SV that are the opposite of cultish, eg. Google is known to try to be more like a university. (or it was at least, I think they are pulling back on that as their political problems mount.)
Daszak in a famous interview has said: "You can manipulate coronaviruses in a lab quite easily". It was a month or two before COVID outbreak in Wuhan.
But all of those cases should be governed by a very simple overarching rule: If the laptop lid is closed, assume that it is in a closed bag with no cooling available to it.

Because that is the usecase that hibernate is for. It makes laptops convenient by allowing you to just close the lid, put it in a bag, go somewhere, take it out of the bag, and then open it and continue working. If you need to tell people that they need to shut down their computers properly before putting them into bags, you have just produced a vastly inferior product.

This is an area where Microsoft desperately needs a Chief-making-it-not-suck-Officer. Someone who can just take that surface laptop, notice that some idiot actually wrote that you are supposed to shut it down instead of hibernating to put it in a bag, and yell at people until the product is fixed. Because right now it's broken.
Agree that this article really didn't deliver on its headline, as we're still in the dark about how the measures mentioned will lead to lightweighting (not that they won't do it, just the article doesn't deliver).

The first thing that concerns me about this layout is that it looks like the "Chest Layout" with the batteries mid-mounted in that tall trapezoidal shape will significantly raise the center of mass. I've found that this almost inevitably results in worse handling performance, unless offset. Of course, if this somehow achieves far lighter overall weight than a "Skateboard" layout, it could still be a winning design (but we don't know that yet).
Oh yeah, melting of permafrost destroying a lot of their roads and tracks and releasing a lot of greenhouse gases, floods and droughts in areas where people actually live and farm, damage to mines, pipelines, industrial sites.

No problem though, everyone will just pack up and move north east. /s
No-one is forcing anyone to do anything.

Tools are built by people that use them. If your team chooses to deploy their applications on a k8s stack, it's on them to own that and not treat it like a black box.

I'm completely against the entitled belief that a person 'shouldnt need to know how to <x>'.

I can stretch the example in many ways:
1) if you're commit secrets into your source code and claiming a 'data scientist shouldnt need to know about secrets management'
2) if you're building a data analysis script and you leave it as an undocumented mess that's not got no unit tests and one day it breaks, you shouldn't claim that 'a data scientist shouldnt need to know about testing'

Oh cry cry there's a tech that everyone is using but i don't want to learn it / i dislike doing that particular thing / working with that piece of tech.

Build your own damn tech stack/computer if you think you can do it better. Or ask in the job interview if your team is running their data science platform on k8s if you dislike operating apps on it so much and deny the job.
Custom embedded Linux systems without GPL code in user space.
Agree with this - and the other thing is subtle but it’s about trust.

If I am documenting things on emails just to create a paper trail for accountability, something about the culture in the company has probably gone awry and it means there is a lack of trust between people.

Documentation shouldn’t be a substitute for honest feedback and ensuring everyone does what they promise. (I’m not saying that tracking actions isn’t a good thing to do - but my primary purpose is to help people remember what they said rather than to hold them to account).

>Europeans came and nearly wiped out the existing peoples

The existing peoples wiped out the existing peoples in many cases.

What this all rotates around is a simplistic (and Victorian) view of 'peoples'. 'Red' = the Americas, 'White' = Europe, 'Black' = Africa, etc.

Truth is, a Navajo is not a Hopi, a Celt is not a Saxon is not a Norman. Most of these current fights are simply wordgames played to achieve political power or to suit some peoples' needs for self-flagellation.

I used to think nuclear was the way forward, and I kind of still do, but it's understandable why it isn't prevalent. It's all about magnitude of loss/failure. Traditional power plants are much safer and failure isn't nearly as catastrophic as with nuclear. If a nuclear plant fails, look at what can happen - you can lose an entire city indefinitely - Chernobyl.

The potential for loss is much higher with nuclear power.
A week? Don't make me laugh. Recovery from burnout took me 18 months and left scars I carry to this day (decades later). A week is an insult.

Imagine breaking an arm or something and being told you get a week to recover. Why is it that emotional/mental injuries are treated so lightly?
Sample SSH Audit
“A year ago there was a shortage of merchandise,” he said. “Now, [suppliers] have got plenty of merchandise but there’s two- or three-week delays on getting it delivered because there’s a limit on short-term changes to trucking and delivery needs of the suppliers, so it really is all over the board.”

This sounds like some made up public relations excuse, and they themselves don't even know what's really going on.
Sorry. Wasnt trying to mischaracterize it as the fault of the deadhead in that case.

But to allow a passenger to board, take a seat (with an entire family) and then bump him, was an aggressive action because an employee of the airline made a mistake (generally you get bumped when you try and check in).

Additionally in that specific instance, the flight attendant that DID bump him (not the deadhead) refuse to up their offer to entice volunteers (carrot) and chose the stick after a single offer of some pittance (like $50-100 credit).

They immediately went to the stick and chose someone. At the first sign of pushback they called airport police and bludgeoned the man and dragged him from the plane. At no point was he the aggressor or agitator.

It was entirely an "oopsie we screwed up, but it sucks for you".

Agreement or not, thats not how you do business unless, and only unless, you basically have a monopoly on the situation. Which they do. And is exactly why the notion of such a "list" is a terrible idea.

Heres the specific incident I am referencing here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Express_Flight_3411_inc...
I've been using a standing desk for about 6 years. It's not the standing alone that's helpful, it's having easy access to movement. Just stretching a bit while standing feels like it helps. I stand about 80% of the time if I had to guess at a percentage.

I also walk a few miles a day, usually early in the morning then again in the afternoon and sometimes in the evening. I'd find a different job if they won't let you step away for 45 minutes in the afternoon, especially if you have a 1 hour lunch. That should be your time.

I also throw in a bunch of push ups and sit ups every day. No exceptions here, at least 50 of each. It's only a few minute time investment.

I wouldn't say I'm the healthiest person in the world but I don't have any random pains and generally feel physically good every day even after doing uncommon strenuous things like moving (30) 60 pound bags of cement from a truck into a wheelbarrow. I did that recently and thought I was going to be destroyed the next day but I didn't even notice.
That's pretty much what I came to say. Expectations to know all the stack are what software engineers face.
I've seen enough police/crime/legal dramas to know that's 'circumstantial evidence'..! Of course that doesn't preclude it being a coincidence. (Hence the phrases 'that's just circumstantial' and 'that's one hell of a coincidence').

(I'm only commenting on the words, I don't think I care where it came from at this point, not sure I could ever really believe it, whatever was concluded. Unless perhaps a bunch of countries/labs agreed, including the blamed one if applicable.)
> I seldom write down a detailed project plan (I write about that here[1]. Feel free to not read it, as well). Instead, my projects start with what I call a "napkin sketch," and evolve, as they progress. The results can be amazing, but I also end up backtracking a lot, and tossing out a lot of code.

This is fine for a sketch, a prototype, or an exploration. If you do this to produce production, critical path code, on a professional team with others you're selfish:

- The team, not only you, maintains this work that they have no agency over.

- You skipped feedback loops, and ignored the expertise of others.

- You've removed information sharing and visibility as you go into your cave and come back out with a solution.

short answer: they can.

But

- in Italy workers protection laws are very strong and it is an even stronger political topic, there are entire regions depending on the production chain of luxury Italian brands. Reconversion is not as easy as it looks.

- it is like asking why US can't build an free and public health care system that works for everybody, it should be simple for the richest country in the World. And yet people like Daniel Desnoyers who missed a payment of $20 to the insurance company and had his prescription for depression meds denied, end up committing suicide.
One of the GOP key characteristics is operating in lock step. They use climate change as a wedge issue. I would be shocked if any one of them voted off the party line on this issue.
That's an argument that stems more from a concept of 'fairness' than one that might save the world.
It seems obvious now but even 2-3 years ago I don’t think it was so obvious. Aside from Tesla, other auto manufacturers have just been dithering around.

+1 great list

I would like to add a few things: I like to use an every 20 minute “get up and walk around timer” that my wife refers to as the get up and go scratch the parrot’s head alarm (he makes a nice little noise when he hears the timer). I work in about 90 minute sprints, and a short stand-up does not interfere with being in the flow.

Also, I live next to a national forest area, a trailhead is 200 feet from my front door. I find that two 20 minute walks a day help.

You are right on about food. About six years ago I stopped eating processed food, and I felt like that made me feel ten years younger (I am an old man, BTW).

Why Is C Faster Than My Language?
I totally agree. My startup uses graphql inside a lambda function. I'm not running at any scale yet but I just cant see the point of not leveraging all that autoscaling infra. Perhaps lambda at real scale costs more but I've not seen any data on that.
Exactly. The evidence for this scenario is incredibly compelling and it deserves more investigation.

I haven't seen any refutations of these claims apart from "those involved say no". There's a nonzero chance that these people are lying to cover things up or protect their reputations. Millions of deaths being attributed to a lab accident would be pretty damning.

Why do people on HN want this to not be the case? (As evidenced by all the downvotes?) The truth could be anything, and we should be looking for it. This is one possibility that carries a lot of weight and demands our attention.

There's nothing wrong in stating that the evidence is substantial and that we should investigate more. Why put your head in the sand?

This isn't anti-science.
Somehow I agree with both parent and you. Ah, life is never black and white...
Why reduce the question to economics? A significant reason
why developing countries continue to rely on coal power, for example, is political: energy insecurity, state tariffs, vested interests. At the same time they expect the global North, that is responsible for the greatest share of historic emissions, and has reaped its rewards, to help them. The North's failure to do so is a political issue, not a merely economic one. We will not reach net zero by 2050 without major state investment, regulation and international cooperation.
Ah, the good old halcyon days when the pope dictated the politics of other nations. Let’s go back to that

One thing I personally hard disagree with is the author's view on chat/DMs; that they are by default and expected to be synchronous and immediate.

Unless urgency is indicated somehow, I see chat as asynchronous - an incoming question doesn't carry an expectation of immediate feedback. This is in contrast with, say, a phone call.

Some of the negatives of chat-heavy comms disappear under that mode. Like, why does encrypted e-mail need to have benefits over chat (apart from the interoperability, maybe).

Chat is new to society and we don't (yet) have strong cultural norms and expectations around how it should work. I think things like this are important to talk about when forming a team or starting to work on a project or in a new context.
I think by "nuclear society", your parent meant a united society that works together, not one powered by nuclear fission.

You’ve maybe been looking at polling data that breaks out White Catholics (but not Catholics as a whole) as a subgroup and not realizing how much work the “White” part is doing. (Though, even there, its only a slight majority of White Catholics that support the Republican Party; while Catholics as a whole have a slight majority supporting the Democratic Party.)
Aina is indeed a name, although I don't know how "Swedish" it is. Two famous Ainas are Aina Erlander (Wife of Swedish Prime Minister Tage Erlander) and Aina Berg (Famous swimmer), but the name is popular outside of Sweden as well.

But I do agree that probably today "Aina" is more familiar to people (born after the 90s at least) as a nickname for the police. First times I came across it I think was from Swedish gangsta rap songs, where the phrase "Aina, La hora" seems to be a popular phrase, something that I think would be translated to "The cops, The whores" or something like that.
