If I worked for Nike could I use "Just Do It" to justify any lapse in judgement? Promote conspiracy theories because Apple tells me to "Think Different"? Be a giant prick at work because EA tells me to "Challenge everything"? Seek damages because "Red Bull gives you wings" didn't literally deliver? Ignore Covid public health protocols because my employer KFC states "It’s finger-lickin’ good"?

This is pretty thin material, specially because they were fired after repeated correction that clarified what they were doing was out of sync with any generic motto.
One approach is to buy a smart TV and remove the controller board. Get a new control board (sometimes called a scaler, since that's its main function) with only the functions you need. These are available mostly on aliexpress, if you punch in the display panel part number and the word "board". Expect to pay about $90-150 for a 4k board.

This isn't the best option, and it's a giant pain in the ass, but it's very effective.
Seems like something someone with some time can make a pull request for ;)
Those things are clearly ~not~ universally seen as evil in the corporate world (and other places, but the corporate world is the relevant area here), given the prevalence of deception & unfair conduct present.
Member-owned co-ops like credit unions and REI come to mind. They follow a "one member, one vote" rule. Credit unions are not-for-profit, while REI makes billions in revenue, and both provide great service. They're an existence proof that it's possible to still be a good business while governed democratically.

In some countries like Finland, the democratic government holds some large non-majority stake in companies that affect the public interest. However, I don't think that model would work in the US, particularly in light of some unique jurisprudence (Buckley v. Valeo, Citizens United v. FEC, and Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta) that make all three branches of government captive institutions to a small number of wealthy donors.
The reciprocal of this claim is that STEM classes in college have a high bar, which is a doozy of an assumption. But even this drags us away from the really egregious assumption here, which is that any measured variability is innate rather than socialized.
Could that be straight running the CI build image on your machine ?

What's your advice to aspiring authors today? If you were writing your book for the first time today, would you self publish?
Downvoting this comment is like kicking someones dog.
>I don't think anyone would agree that a city library could be organized "spatially,"

Of course they can. The scales are larger than a desk, but spatial arrangement is crucial to a librarian. You don't know exactly where Twilight: New Moon is, but Literature -> Fiction is the second shelf near the door.

>And it appears that the contemporary evolution of all this is iOS and ChromeOS, which throw in the towel on organization altogether.

And it's a disaster.
That might indicate a good place to work for a software engineer, but not necessarily a profitable business. If a bug affects 1% of your customers but a feature will potentially bring 2% more customers, the business will obviously prioritise the latter.

Disclaimer: I know that the above is an oversimplification but the point is there has to be a balance between fixing bugs and adding features. You can't wait until all reported bugs have been fixed.
Foolishness. Firefox is a better experience than Chrome.
Hard to quantify, but how that sentence is said and the corresponding body language dramatically changes the meaning.

Is the person smiling? Yelling? Pointing angrily? Making a motion like they are thirsty? Making puppy eyes? Laughing like it is an inside joke?

It can change from a mere friendly request to a demand possibly backed up by violence.
Ask HN: Any cooking/recipe websites with good UX?
I don't know what it is about cooking and recipe-focused websites. They seem to be some of the worst in terms of pop ups, and superfluous garbage content. I spend so much time searching for the actual content on most pages because there are so many links to other crap.

For example, check out this Betty Crocker page where there's about 300px of whitespace at the top, a huge useless picture of flour, and a navbar that doesn't quite stick to the top of the page (viewing on Firefox) https://www.bettycrocker.com/how-to/tipslibrary/charts-timetables-measuring/equivalent-measures-abbreviations

Another example is allrecipes.com. I think it fares pretty well on Desktop, but on my phone I notice they insert adds throughout the ingredient list and instructions. Also met with a full-screen popup from Amazon about Cyber Monday.

There's gotta be some plain and simple sites out there, and I'd like to hear about them.
That's what I have set as well. Still seeing VPN ads.
It's also only looking at bitcoin, which is less than half of total crypto mining by energy usage. Adding ETH alone already doubles it.

Meanwhile, I'd reckon that the US accounts for the majority of Christmas lights.
It really annoys me how people disregard what "the other side" is saying just because it's them saying it. Just adds to the polarization. And it annoys me because I used to do the same.
This is how I write code today!

Everything needs a catchy name, so I call it Debugger Driven Development.

I write the first few lines of a function, however much I feel sure about, then add a dummy statement at the end and set a breakpoint there. When the code stops at the breakpoint, I can see exactly what my code did and what data I now have on hand.

I use that new knowledge to write the next few lines, again until I get to something I'm unsure of or where I'd just like to get a better view of the data. Set a breakpoint there and view that new data.

Repeat as needed until the function is done.

At my work we have many internal APIs that are "documented" but the documentation is fairly lacking. With the debugger, I can see not only what the API claims to do, but what it really does with my actual input.

I am bummed that so many developers today eschew debuggers. I even read an article recently along the lines of "These famous programmers don't use debuggers, and you shouldn't either". Why would anyone want to talk people out of using such a useful tool? It makes no sense to me.

Assuming she's not on contingency, or getting paid by some external group.
Yet you found it critical enough to write a comment using it as the basis for your argument...?
holy sh*t. pretty trippy. sucks.

maybe they just figured, look, it's go-time now. we hire at 10x the ideal rate, we'll poison the culture a bit, lose at 10x the ideal rate, but in the end, we'll see the growth we want to see, which is really all that matters at this point. we think we can take on visa/whoever, so let's go.

i applied to stripe, in part, based on their rep as....being big-ish and maybe actually doing something-ish, but still somehow not sucking. and maybe one or more of the founders being irish means they're not quite as monstrous as a typical tech company?

i talked to this recruiter person who was, somehow, amazingly human and basically just nice. i was like...what?

it was actually notable, unusual, very surprising -- not too sure how or why, but seemed almost unbelievable. _just_ shy of me thinking this person was all prozac'd up -- but it was too genuine.

i _think_ i ended up bailing right on the call b/c of....i have no idea, could have been anything. this was low-level IC/technical account manager position.

...adding, i think you (and everyone) should get at least interviewing credit for time served.

like, i just got bounced from a solutions engineer position. i re-applied to a diff position at the same company - support mgr or similar - and i kind of wish details of my interactions to date would make their way into the new application. _maybe_.

i've talked to folks who absolutely hated my guts at some places, so maybe i should want a fresh start each time thru.

and, as for ATSs, i've had more than a couple of folks get back to me after weeks or months saying, "sorry we didn't get back to you, obv this is stupid late, etc." -- for tech, process, whatever reasons.

i wonder if any ATSs actually help you decide which hires worked or not, so that they could improve their process.

like, what if your most effective hiring happened when you only pinged people back between 8 and 9 weeks after first receiving their application?

google always bragged about how awesome they were at hiring -- to the point where they were at least claiming to track some non-obvious measures of quality, etc. i wonder where they're at now. adding, the obvious -- sucky is their painful-as-childbirth all-day interviews, their 30-day long labor-ious interviews, etc.
It changes the whole meaning..
I think the GeoVision (Taiwanese also) is close enough in price to comparable budget Dahuas. I just wish they had an equivalent of Dahua's higher quality models.

I'll look into Vivotek, thanks!
Problem is what comes next? I’d find a bootstrap template to build my site. And prob have a heck of a time integrating what I got from your site into my template.

What do your customers do after using your service? Create a website / app design from scratch using your brand guidelines with a consulting designer?

Serious question btw!
> I've never heard feminists say any of these things because they are antithetical to the concept of equality for all.

No true Scotsman there. It is true that people who say that aren't for equality, but they still call themselves feminists and feminists still welcome them as their own. That is the point, feminism as a movement isn't really for equality, they say they are but they aren't really or else those wouldn't get accepted in the movement. Your movement gets colored by the rotten apples in it, just like mens right has a lot of bad apples so do feminism, and what those bad apples do will also get attributed to feminism even if you think it shouldn't.

> There's some truth to this, but it's also omitting something that's extremely important (and therefore changes the entire tone of this argument): we should also encourage men to handle that burden rather than totally drop the ball and shame men who dare to cry. It's not men vs. women. It's men and women together. That's what feminism is.

You say it is men and women together here, but why do they just blame men for this? Most men live with a woman just as most women live with a man. The woman is his closest link, she is what affects him the most, if she practices toxic masculinity then there isn't much he can do. And as most men have experienced women like that they will teach their kids and each other that they have to be stoic and not cry, since otherwise women will not see them as a man. Sure, there are women out there who can accept a man who cries and do it well. But, as long as there are lots of toxic women out there who refuses to let a man cry there isn't much men can do, the "men don't cry" will live on as long as such women exists. And feminism doesn't try to do anything at all about those women.
Freeform tissue engineering doesn't seem like it's leading anywhere profound?

Imagine using autologous xenobots (homobots?) as a drug delivery mechanism for humans.

> I wonder if they could impose arbitrary logic, and implement something like Conway's game of life? Seems like you'd need a predictable algorithmic framework in order to achieve anything useful with it.

Exactly. When I look at these xenobots I see a prototype for programmable matter. Imagine using these kinds of things to run programs where the output of the programs isn't shifting bits in a CPU but shifting molecules in a substrate.

You could use these for autonomous manufacturing from the microscale and up.
Thanks I’ll give it another shot.

That URL is not working for me. It redirects to `https://cdn.i.ibb.co/1/392979222/0`, and `cdn.i.ibb.co` is not in DNS for my machine.

Exactly - that's where statistical analysis (like fakespot) comes in.

For each chain you'd be able to look at the age, stake & historical participation level of the post-fork participants and get a pretty good idea which (if either) of the chains is real. The absence of honest participants should look a lot different than the absence of dishonest ones.

Granted, this method is not nearly as simple as checking the number of 0s on a hash, but I would imagine it to be quite difficult to circumvent.
FWIW the 5950X has 16 cores (32 threads), not 32 cores as the poster indicated.
Is "offer as many people as possible a decent job with a family wage" even possible realistically? I am no philosopher but I find it hard to believe that this is possible.
Really? Microsoft never crossed my mind when hearing the motto years ago.

I interpreted it more generically as "make the world a better place... by organizing the world's information, and making it easily accessible".
> knowing that the contracts are often 10-15k for a job a crew of four guys can knock out in a day or two, including labor and materials the expense is ~3-5k plus indirect costs (tools, trucks, taxes etc.), so why shouldn't the remainder of the profit go to the people that generated it?

Sounds like the crew of 4 should just incorporate...
I like to call it "music of the spheres".

I also wonder of the AI which creates it, then also creates the next level, the "music of the hyper-spheres", which it declares the best music ever conceived, but which to us sounds like white noise or like a random song made by a child playing with GarageBand.
I'd argue that business grew the size of Amazon because of those things.

Amazon has economies of scale that smaller shops simply can't achieve. That makes certain business models only viable at their scale.
According to the IEA (International Energy Agency) [1] the current (well, as of 2018) production cost of hydrogen using methane as a feedstock is $ 0.9-3.2 /kg, while using renewables is 3.0-7.5 USD/kg. However, as the cost of renewables goes down, there will be plenty of places in the world where the cost of producing H2 (including transportation to the place of use) will be below $2/kg, so quite competitive with methane (not to mention that the price of methane is about twice now what it was in 2018).

> Male genetics are just more varied. The average of mens lives, by rule, will therefore be worse for most and great for a few.

I don't understand how this follows.
If we accept for the sake of argument that men are more varied,
then shouldn't that result in more men doing exceptionally badly
or exceptionally well,
but men and women doing the same on average?
If the idea is that life is a winner-take-all game and
everyone but the most intelligent/conscientious/charismatic loses,
then that would mean that even more women than men would lose out,
because they're supposedly more likely to be average than exceptional.
It could be that men are playing a winner-take-all game and women aren't,
but I don't understand how that corresponds with our present reality.
It's true that men are capable of impregnating a lot of women at once,
and that might have affected the evolutionary development of male psychology -- but in Western societies today most relationships are monogamous.
So when we're talking about the happiness of present-day males,
I don't understand how it would be the outcome of a winner-take-all game.
> Someone like Brandon Sanderson has not only an editor but continuity staff to make sure his plot lines aren’t full of holes and timelines make sense. But he sells millions.

I always thought that’s an important part of what an editor does. I've edited, typeset and generally helped develop a couple of books for a friend who self-publishes fiction. I look out for stuff like continuity errors right down to seemingly petty ones, such as a TV being turned off twice. Maybe some readers wouldn’t notice, but I do.

I first read over to get a feel for the book, then I discuss any high-level improvements — little things like suggesting re-ordering chapters to maintain suspense. Sometimes it means breaking bad news gently, such as song lyrics in a work of fiction not falling under the doctrine of fair dealing[0] and licensing fees that make an editor look cheap.

In the self-published space, achieving 9th decile in terms of cover art, editing or typesetting doesn’t seem like much of a challenge. It’s really nice to see a draft become a finished product and be a part of that.

[0] Fair dealing is like fair use but in the UK.
A Rubik's cube. I would recommend MoYu's RS3M 2020 or the 2021 model. Great budget 3x3. I recommend getting the magnet upgrade kit (extra magnets that you drop in with the originals) that speedcubeshop sells for it to increase the strength, and lunar and/or stardust lube, but those are optional.
>Seek counseling or talk to an HR person

Talk to an HR person ??
It's ultimately a result of increasing returns to scale from technology. If the top 1% of every class gets you marginally better competitiveness in the market as a firm and you can feasibly capture 100% of the market (or a large majority) across billions of customers with a few thousand employees then you're going to pay for the top 1%.

On top of that, increasing adoption of technology means that more of the economy becomes driven by engineers. Computer science is one of the few fields where a top 1% individual can actually be 10x more productive than the median.

Combine these two things together - being able to instantaneously scale improvements across billions of customers for almost free because of the Internet, and technology's growth resulting in more jobs having a wider productivity gap between median and top 1% - and you get massive salaries for the top 1% and comparative peanuts for everyone else.

The exact same dynamic plays out in finance, Hollywood, YouTube content creation, and other winner takes all markets.
I was a grad student in Canada more than a decade ago. At the time, I noticed a disproportionate number of Iranian students among my peers, many of them very talented and who hailed from selective universities like Sharif. I befriended many of them and most of them told me they ended up in Canada because of how onerous it was to obtain US student visas (even though they had applied and gotten into good schools).

This seeming non sequitur in the press release seems to be referring to that context — seems like it’s adding a human element to what is a dry technical press release.

The narrative doesn’t point to any specific to any executive in power at the time but is more of a pointed reference to US visa policies since 1979 turning talent away.
May be bigger than you want, but I picked up a Lilliput UMTC-1400 (14", USB powered with USB-C and HDMI input) portable monitor in part to use with my Pi's. It's well built, portable, and is usable with a Pi or my laptop.
iOS home screen is spatial.

You know the App you want is on 3rd page at the top and you expect and rely on your OS never to change that. The position is extremely imporant.

It also a huge success, since it's been copied everywhere, by Android, macOS and Windows.
A lot of words without saying what “this browser” is. Is it lynx? Something else?
Doesn't this punish maintainers who do a good job for free, by excluding them from funding?

I think you have to look one step deeper at how to deploy resources to encourage the system sustainably, not just throw money at the dead and dying.

AT&T and Verizon started with CDMA then converted to GSM later while T-Mobile started out GSM only via VoiceStream the then inherited CDMA.
This is a great post but I have one disagreement about proof of work. At the point that one entity controls 51% reliably and consistently, presumably users abandon the cryptocurrency altogether. So any discussion of what the steady-state looks like after that seems pointless.

If so, the profit from a 51% attack would have to be taken very quickly during an initial double-spend, which limits the incentive to do it. Unfortunately, returns to scale, as you mentioned, still can mean that mining can trend toward an oligopoly. And that could have pretty bad effects if the biggest miners collude in ways that users don't like, but that aren't bad enough to drive them off the currency completely.
Geopolitical energy cost arbitrage is a major climate change issue, but I feel like it's disingenuous to focus on crypto as the main problem.

The majority of these harms are in heavy industry, manufacturing, logistics, etc. I'd estimate only 1% of this problem can be attributed to cryptocurrency.

If crypto was somehow globally banned, the problem would not be significantly diminished. If bitcoin eventually becomes responsible for 10%+ of dirty energy, only then would this argument be compelling to me.
> rosetta is a jit translator

> how would it know to translate the instructions that are being generated on the fly interactively?

Just answered your own question.
Before, the voices I heard were people in my life and my local community.

The media was just the media; they'd get put in their own box for analysis and skepticism.

Twitter's great power is controlling peoples' impression of what the people around them are thinking and saying. Or, rather, allowing various aggressive agenda-driven groups to control that.

So now the corps don't just control the voice of the media; they control the voice of your community too.
That's a fun trivia, but that's not really relevant to the discussion here: those people took no risk for their lives when following these instructions. Making hundreds of people go in the wrong place is easy, but the difference between a bad IA and a human driver is that the majority of drivers realize when they're doing something dangerous and stop.

This common sense of danger is what IAs must have before we can trust them on the streets.

For instance in the Uber fatal crash: the IA correctly labelled the cyclist as a cyclist several times then revised its judgment, then definetely labelled it as a cyclist but “oops too late”. A human would be like “wait, I think I saw a cyclist, slow down and figure out what this really was”. Obviously with the current computer vision technology you cannot do that, otherwise your car would be afraid of everything and refuse to even start, because there's way too much mislabelling happening at some point or another.
