How could a new grad be qualified to design a new Google tool?

By being an apprentice (intern) at Google who is initially only responsible for a small bit of code (not "the tool" nor "the chip" - just a piece), and whose contributions are thoroughly reviewed and tested before pushing to production.

This comment isn't very constructive.
Comparable here, using mostly Zigbee (Hue, IKEA, Xiaomi and others) with Deconz RaspBee, which works great, although I do see communication issues from time to time. I have Zigbee lights and door/temp/motion sensors. I added Shelly modules behind my 'normal looking' wall switches on a local MQTT. This all comes together in a local NodeRED (on a Pi that also contains the RaspBee and runs the Deconz software and MQTT server). I use a few plugins heavily for input / output (MQTT, Deconz, etc), but I've got quite a few (reusable) function nodes as well with my own code.

Like you said, I can't see a 'normal' consumer do something comparable, locally without a technical background. It's all too fragmented, closed, clouded.
At least 1/3 of people rent in most developed economics. Investing in real estate creates dwellings for them to rent.

Food, clothing and shelter are basic needs. Providing one of them is most certainly creating value.

Real estate is not zero sum. Having shops, schools, offices, factories and whatnot around your real estate makes it more valuable, not less.

There is a problem now around the world in many cities where a great deal of value is created in that government has made it too hard to build new dwellings and the price of dwellings has been rising.

However, there are also cities around the world that have had a lot of growth while having reasonably priced houses.

In 2000, Houston had a population of 3.8M in 2020 it was 6.3 M. From

https://www.macrotrends.net/cities/23014/houston/population

They have also managed this with affordable housing.

That's something to learn from.
They are not going to. I have not heard any plans to allow home growing, and I don't expect there will be anything that could cut into the tax profits. That means it is still prohibited in the most basic form. It's sinister.
>n real estate creates nothing of value to society and instead serves only to artificially drive up the cost of shelter

And yet there is literally millions of people begging for a opportunity to get a unit in large/rich cities. If there was no value to it, why does everyone cares so much about living there?

If you truly believe what you say, than you better never ever complain about home prices. Paying 100$/ft² for a massive modern house in a shithole place is an option that is always there for you if you think location doesn't matter. But let me guess... you want to live in [insert big city near your location] but people richer than you also want to and they priced you out
Funny Story.

My first service order way back when was to a engineering office who were in a panic because their primary CAD file server had failed right in the middle of a deadline submittal.

I got there when they had just pulled out an identical file server from some other department. They had 'everything' backed up nightly on to a Zip drive. Nice, I thought. So, I plug in the Zip drive and can see all these image files created by their backup software. I ask for the backup app install files and they say its kept in a directory -- on the failed server !!!

I should mention this was not in the USA and resulted in a 6+hr long international 42kbps zmodem download session from some random BBS server of the best guess software product and version.

I still have one of the failed HDDs from that server as a paper weight on my desk.

PS. We got it working in time and the obvious moral of the story is to always test your backup systems (and that goes for both failover and fallback)
CDC deleted the expression "to produce immunity to a specific disease" from the vaccine definition, but still defines:

"Immunity: Protection from an infectious disease. If you are immune to a disease, you can be exposed to it without becoming infected."

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vac-gen/imz-basics.htm
If I recall correctly, I don't believe the book covers distributed file systems. For those, I highly recommend reading the research papers describing modern distributed file systems such as HDFS, Google's various storage systems and databases (such as Bigtable and Spanner), and Ceph, making sure to check the bibliographies and read the cited papers to get a better understanding of the background material. That's how I learned the basics of distributed file systems when I worked on a research project involving Ceph back when it was brand new.

Note that the article only states that the ground crew found the cover floating in the water. It didn't actually say the aircraft took off with it on.

It may be, eg, that it had been taken off properly but got (or was left) loose on the flight deck and blew up into the intake of the jet as it was taking off.

Something for the ground crew to fix, for sure, but not necessarily a catastrophic failure of standard checking procedures.
Choice of books and ideas easily available is preference (ie all of politics is preference), especially in a library where space is zero sum relative to the 500 million books to choose from.

Honestly, I've been seeing the future of IDEs using GitHub Co-Pilot in the last few weeks. It has increased my productivity many-fold.

I was so positively shocked by its suggestions that I kept positing videos of it in action with the team.

It adapts to the structure and peculiarities of a specific project and you only really understand it once you are in a flow; you almost forget about it until one time you press return to write a new line of code and it correctly writes exactly what you wanted.

It's creepy and absolutely incredible at the same time. Almost as if you're pairing with someone that you never speak with.

Here's Co-Pilot finishing a coding kata for me: https://i.imgur.com/ih32sCy.mp4 (trimmed to 60s b/c of imgur limit).
> That includes Social Security, which is wildly successful.

Wildly successful at giving away other people's money, but not wildly successful at sustaining itself without congress intervention every few years, to the point where the fund would collapse and cease to exist without intervention (ie. capital injection, ie. printing money).

I don't count that as "wildly successful" by any means.
Yeah, really nice and efficient C programming with a great idea!

Its hard to beat Amazon at its own game. But people are wising up to the fact that reviews are largely illegimate and largely gamed these days. So how are we to get trustworthy reviews?

Wirecutter is under the model that a larger newspaper would be a good source of reviews. Consumer Reports is also basically a newspaper / 3rd party review site. While noble in concept, I'm not 100% sure how economical this model is (Consumer Reports is a non-profit for example).

Wirecutter's ultimate revenue comes from affiliate links, meaning they're ultimately subservient to Amazon.

-----

But I shop at jetpens.com for my stationary. Why? Because their blog has happened to win their trust with me.

I can accept the economic situation: jetpens.com needs to distinguish itself from other online stores (Amazon, Walmart, etc. etc.). Blogging about their products and offering in-depth reviews of paper and pen products is pretty much the "Wirecutter" model.

That's probably the path forward in the future. Create a shop (online or in-person). Capture an audience using modern information (blogging, social networks, etc. etc.). And finally, its the __shop's reputation__ that is put at stake whenever reviews are put out. None of this "Amazon 3rd party review, we're not responsible for the words on our site" bull**, you know, a shop that stands behind the words and reviews that are next to the products on their website.

> designing, building, and maintaining warplanes are among the most complex tasks humans have ever done

Most people who do complex, difficult jobs estimate for the complexity and difficulty. This project is both years behind schedule and at roughly twice its initial budget. There are also regularly reports of serious flaws in its day-to-day operation.

I believe it's fair to say both that the project is difficult and that this particular effort appears to have delivered a lower-quality product at higher costs and timelines than most of its peers.

This is always true and they usually have better results.
You're deceiving yourself if you don't think the other Scott Adams has ever generated an eyerolling controversy better off left avoided.

Good point, the Debian Benchmarks Game for example shows C# matching or considerably beating Java at everything except the binary trees benchmark which stresses GC/mempool performance.

I haven't tried C#/MonoGame yet but all this discussion is considerably warming me up to it. The recent extremely successful indie game Hades was made with MonoGame.

Microsoft in typical MS fashion makes MonoGame higher friction if you aren't using a Windows box for development with MSBuild. On Linux it appears you need to use Wine to run DirectX effect compilation, though once compiled it works on OpenGL backends:

I own an ecommerce company, and I'm using a huge (>$100M funding raised) company that's supposed to be a tech-enabled 3PL.

It was a terrible choice, and their idiotically overengineered solutions are a big reason why.

The most egregious one is that instead of weighing packages to find out their weight, they have an algorithm that estimates the weight. My packages are designed to come in at just under a pound (it's a big cutoff for shipping prices). Needless to say, slight problems with their algorithm can and do lead them to overbill me.

A ton of work when they could just use a scale to do the job much, much better (and I'm sure save time overall with all the refunds of overbilling factored in).
I agree. Elixir is just too obscure.
screen vs tmux is like vim vs emacs. A matter of taste.
Yes, I would say you are not speculating because speculating is simply buying/selling and hoping to profit.

Whether or not your forecast is reasonable or even useful is not within my sphere of knowledge. I can also almost certainly say that the USD wont be the global reserve currency forever, but making decisions based on a forever timeline poses a wide range of risks.
> While, as a marketplace platform, we are under no legal obligation to carry out checks on the 150 million products offered for sale on the platform, we invest in a wide range of programs designed to attract and reward sellers that offer quality items, and limit the exposure of those offering lower quality items.

The main problem is that consumers are, frankly, ignorant. I mean I am too. I'm not expected to know about EU safety regulations for materials in toys or for electronic devices. But at least I know those regulations exist and expect that, in general, the products I find in stores have suffered some level of scrutiny.

But many people are not even aware that these regulations exist and why; worse yet, it's becoming increasingly difficult to know for sure if what you're buying is a proper product or just amazon trash brands that just repackage stuff from Aliexpress.
The issue goes far beyond Facebook and extends to nearly all US companies. It seems disingenuous to suggest otherwise
Ask HN: I’d like to hire a personal/executive assistant – any tips or advice?
I’m a CEO with very limited free time/capacity. I would love to recruit someone to help out with “everything else” — that means personal tasks first and foremost, but involvement with the administrative/day-to-day tasks in my business too.

Whilst I’ve recruited and managed plenty of “traditional” roles in the office, this area is new to me.

Has anyone hired a PA/EA before, who can share any tips or advice?

Thanks!
Not Python, but Ruby and HTML/CSS/JS examples:

I worked at an international company with its own terrible email marketing system.

I wrote my own email builder based on their templates that allowed me to visually build emails and then just copy and paste in the code!

I also wrote a Ruby script that iterated over a CSV/Excel spreadsheet file supplied on a regular basis to generate HTML page, which I then pasted into their horrible CMS!

The previous person in my job used to have to do all those things manually and it took forever!

The key win for me was convincing the head of IT to enable WSL on my work supplied Windows 10 Laptop!

Having access to Linux made everything possible!

The US did make over 15,000 P-51 mustangs, so there were some economies of scale playing in their favor.

This is a common but fundamental misunderstanding of what determines your salary. Your salary is determined by the market, with the tacit assumption that the total revenue generated by your employment will exceed the total cost of your salary & other costs over the course of your career.

Japan is different in this regard: housing actually depreciates, it is understood that it will be rebuilt every 20-40 years, and if it is a condo or some kind of apartment, there isn't much share of land appreciation to count on. That is why Tokyo is considered to be more affordable than NYC.
