It definitely is. Any engineer that won't eat their own dog food (if at all possible) is net a mediocre engineer, or otherwise immature (hasn't progressed far enough in their career; doesn't yet realize how much they don't know). DoorDash is better off without many of those types. It's an excellent way to clear the house of engineers that are more likely to hold back the product than advance it. Which of course doesn't mean firing everyone that complains; there are people that are rigidly unwilling and people that are uncomfortable (for various possible reasons) and need to be brought along.
Calling out the CDC for using studies that will jeopardize the public's trust in them in a time when public trust in the CDC, assuming they are correctly using that trust to help thwart the global pandemic, is of critical importance is pretty much the opposite of what a "political rag" would do.

It was both _technically_ correct and also correct on its face. I will say that the article is a bit of a rehash of the quoted The Atlantic article, but that should be even more reason that its fact-checked removal is dubious. They even have very similar titles, so it's not like Reason's title is particularly inflammatory. Is The Atlantic also a political rag?
So I've got a new Fermi paradox solution. Once we build a large enough radio telescope we will start receiving a lot of chatter from around the universe. Buried in this will be a "high energy physics challenge" involving a powerful particle accelerator, a superconductor, and some synthetic elements with very large nuclei. After performing this challenge there will be another asteroid belt where Earth used to be, and someone somewhere will get some LULZ when they detect a certain kind of characteristic gamma ray pulse followed by silence.
Some of my fellow rope access technicians make their living on these things. They are employed full time going all over and patching blades damaged from normal wear and errant objects. The anecdote is that the engineers designed the blades to handle bird strikes and large objects, but didn't factor in the higher velocities as you go out from the hub being worn down by fine particulate like you get with sandblasting. Cool videos, but not for me. I do my ropework on buildings, towers, machinery, and theater. Do the costs below factor this in? I believe each blade costs a small fortune, but I am sure that is relative to other forms energy, so not so bad. BTW, I am a fan of nuclear since the 1980s, and it seems the costs both initial, during, and decommissioning are heavily hit by time and cost burdens due to safety regulations that didn't evolve with the newer reactor designs. I especially like the idea of 'backyard' reactors powering a house or block vs. central power distribution units.

You don't teach children to use Alexa. If Alexa is there they just talk to it.

Putting a device into homes that is voice activated, unlocked and usable by anybody capable of speech carries with it some duty of care not to, you know, tell kids to play with mains power. Amazon don't disagree with this.
Yes, precisely, they will get paid extremely well somewhere else where this is not part of the expected job duties.

And in my opinion, the doordash product will suffer for it.
This reflects my experience as well.
> but energy is gloriously cheap when the sun is shining.

This seems like a misunderstanding of how to evaluate costs. You can't selectively ignore some costs and then assert that the energy is "cheap". Well you can do that, but it is an entirely unconvincing argument/analysis.
That they get paid a lot? And sometimes it’s to deliver groceries.
Something I was thinking about where if I was the day-to-day employee suddenly forced to work with a brand new employee that you know will only be working there for one day (meaning they won't be super motivated to really dig in), I'd be pissed. Lots of comments in the thread about low morale for those engineers being forced to do this, but not much discussion about the reverse direction. (Makes since since this is a site focused on those engineers.)

This person claiming to standing around not knowing what to do just shows that they really are trying to do anything. You've been assigned a task, do it. If you don't know, ask. They aren't trying to be better because they know at the end of the one day their nightmare will be over.
For L5:
- base is 175k+ (Usually around 180-200k, if not newly promoted).
- 15% cash bonus
- 120-150k$ worth rsu

These are for average performers. Above average performers get up to ~100% more bonus and rsu

At each promotion, these numbers increase by around 15-20%. (Same for L4->L5 promotion, but L4 is not a senior level at Google)

* These are ballpark Bay Area numbers for L5 to L8.
This article is naming “fraudster of the year.” I think they should show evidence of fraud in this case.
Except this is about nation state behavior, context, and geopolitics spanning decades rather than some series of small unrelated events.

See my other reply. I am not excusing the behavior of treaty breaking so much as I am saying their leadership has pressure to behave in this way due to the mandate to "right historical wrongs" versus their enemies who killed and attacked them.

I am not the world's leading expert on China, history, or political science -- but I would guess that the fentanyl smuggling operations they are doing are directly related to points (1) through (5) and are some form of revenge in the eyes of their leadership. It probably isn't a coincidence that fentanyl is an opioid, is killing countless Americans, is being laced onto random pills and foods sold, and is all being done by China's intelligence agencies. You know, maybe these events are related!
It's insane they wrote policies without this as an expectation.

I mean, you could write a policy that's essentially LifeLock's "What are the odds someone will actually notice you?" priced, but I feel like market forces would have resulted in drastically under-pricing those premiums (to get sales).
The "Head of People" at my previous employer in Sweden pushed this garbage.

She made us spend an entire day — it was mandatory — "learning" about the four colour-coded groups in this pseudoscience.

It's worrying that employers can essentially mandate religion in the workplace like this.
Oh, I didn't know that. That's new to me.
I made the switch two years ago and I must say that it works well enough for me. I use the `bangs` once in a while for Google (!g) or Wolfram Alpha (!wa) when it doesn't cut it, and I assume DDG sees those, and hopefully uses them to improve their search results.
"Fact checking" is one of the best scams in the past couple of years. In this case I scare quote it because it really is that specific phrase that I am referring to, not the process or the people. Somehow, labeling something a "fact check" gave whatever was so labeled immense authority and gravitas, merely by virtue of being a "fact check". It also proved it was Platonically Non-Partisan, because Fact Checking is just intrinsically non-partisan, because it's a Fact Check. Do you not trust the Facts?

It was a good gig, but political partisans can't help but spend all the gravitas and authority they can find as quickly as possible, and what you see here is the account drying up. It'll take a while longer to complete that process but I don't expect people to have any more trust in "fact checks" than anything else in 5 years.

"Fact checks" are nothing special. Political partisans have been "fact checking" each other forever, complete with misrepresentation, failures to even read the thing they're fact checking, all the usual errors. They just didn't call it a "fact check". Merely labeling something a "fact check" changes nothing, and quite obviously did not impose any sort of higher standard on the so-called "checkers" either. Nor does Facebook have any authority or capability in any sense of the term to bless any particular "fact checker" with them being anything more that Facebook's official opinion. (In this, their argument in their lawsuit is completely correct.)

Of course, that causes problems. If Facebook indeed somehow has direct access to the Fountain of Truth, they can perhaps be justified in decorating the speech of other people with the Truth from this fountain. If, on the other hand, they're just opinions, that raises a whole host of questions. Why do they feel like they can decorate other people's speech with their own opinions? On what basis do they declare these "facts"? How amazing it is that Facebook, a corporation whose purpose is to serve ads and incidentally provide a service to people to gather information for those ads, are also medical experts, political experts, and experts of all sorts of other things. What accountability will Facebook have when it turns out their opinions, which again I remind you include very strong medical opinions, are wrong? (Don't get too caught up on Coronavirus specifically; having started making medical decisions we can believe they will continue to do so. Even if you believe they have the perfectly correct balance of Truth today, there is no reason to believe that will continue indefinitely. And with their leverage, they have the capability to multiply the consequences of error hugely, perhaps more than anyone else.)

If they are not lofty, impartial experts graciously spending their money to guide the masses to the Truth, then they almost immediately collapse into something more like arrogant jerks who bully their particular biases onto people with the threat of kicking them off the world's largest platform if they don't conform.

One imagines that Facebook would not prefer to be seen that way. They've really bet rather a lot on the Fact Check mythos.
One way he be might doing this while not sacrificing substance is if he's the head of a very large group. If you have 20 postdocs and 40 grad students, that wouldn't be a crazy number of papers over five years. Alternatively, he might be highly collaborative - if he's usually not the last author, he might just be farming out computational/mathematics staff to projects that need those skillsets (which frankly would be awful for the careers of those mentees, but it would explain what you're seeing).

That said, two papers a month is setting off my bullshit alarms - I'd take a hard look at those papers and just see if he's solving real problems or not.
Thank you, this is what I decided to pursue. It makes a lot of sense.
Ideally, but you do not need the entire labor market to participate to do it. I am guessing even shining a light on a small, representative set of real time data will be enough to get things moving.
If the application actually uses that k8s cluster, then you might actually want to see the real-world performance of it all instead of just aggragated response time graphs.
This article is claiming the author is a fraud. They should provide proof of that claim, just as the author should provide proof of his claims. I didn’t read the book, but I did read this article and the evidence of fraud is lacking.
A spacecraft may need to be super accurate at docking, but outside of that precision is far less important.
The actual term of war gaming dates back to the 19th century, where generals would simulate battles or campaigns to practice and determine the viability of strategies. Modern militaries will conduct war games (distinct from military exercises, though sometimes both are done together) involving dozens of people on each side. I actually think that would be pretty cool to try and implement for cybersecurity, having multiple people working together as an APT group, or a security operations team. Especially if you have both sides competing against each other. I imagine that would be really difficult to implement, making it realistic while not having it take months to play.
It'll be interesting to see how long it takes for someone ill suited to food delivery gets injured, robbed, assaulted, or worse.

I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do it during normal times never mind during a pandemic. Seems like a bold strategy during the most job seeker friendly market I have seen in 20 years.

I made life choices so I wouldn't ever have to go door to door for anything. No offense to hard working delivery people but when I did that sort of work I chose to mop floors and clean toilets over anything food service.
And a treasure trove of ideas that weren’t ready for prime time but could be now/soon.
Did you read it or the linked The Atlantic article? CDC representatives site the 3.5x number over and over again as the justification. The number came from this study. A led to B led to C.
Does Apple offer a webmail interface or is it just through their own apps/imap? How do you find their interface compared to gmail?
How are distributed realtime systems like a rocket is synchronized? Are there central timeservers and allocated transmission slots and timestamped query-response action messaging or is it just small individual realtime nodes making their own decisions?

I’ve been wondering about this for a year or so because I can’t seem to find one that matches my description, other than concept drawings on NIST 4D/RCS paper, but there got to be one in the world.
Finland doesn't have a lot of hydro power. Most of its power comes from imports, nuclear and thermal power. Your claim that 100% renewable cannot guarantee electricity 24/7 to everyone is contradicted by countless reports.
These people aren't making honest errors. They are censoring opinions they don't like. It's becoming increasingly more absurd as time goes on.
I absolutely hate DD and grub hub tipping policy

How do I know the service was any good? If it's grub hub it probably isn't so low tip is definitely justified. Hell if we go the traditional route of what a tip is, many actually deserve zero

Whichever app you are using, you are only considering how it affects you. This is natural, and not a judgment. Rarely does the user consider how it affects the restaurants themselves. I have yet to read a positive experience for the restaurants.
If China was such a big threat why would USA made itself so dependent on it? Normally we don't trade with countries we consider our enemies. Fear of China's growing influence is a new construct.

They have a webmail interface on icloud.com. It's probably not as "good" as Gmail - fewer features (is that worse?) but then similar to Gmail you can use any web client you want. Hell can't you sign in to your icloud email on Gmail and still use Gmail if you wanted?
The amount of people both here and at DD who think that the task is "beneath them" is appallingly large.

"Today you, tomorrow me" should be what everyone says to themselves when confronted with this sort of thing.

>you need to know the corresponding private key, live.

This seems like the main blocker. Why is that required? In theory all the site needs is a public key to verify against.
>Medical speech must be censored or else the snake oil salesmen will take over. Organized medical societies must retain a monopoly on medical speech.

Instead of censorship like you're advocating for (an approach that absolutely will not work within the framework of the US constitution), we usually solve this by exclusively allowing the organized medical societies to have and show medical credentials. Those who fraudulently claim to have these credentials are viciously prosecuted. The fraudsters are free to push whatever medical advice they like, provided that they do not mislead others into thinking that they are credentialed.
A dissent using a slightly altered scenario, you see a killing on a security cam, and the killer puts a knife in their briefcase on camera then you have the police stop everyone in a 2 mile radius and break into their briefcase rifle through their documents and arrest people based on the findings, you might catch the killer but you have trampled the rights of everyone in the zone. The density of the zone shouldn't matter, if it is on Wallstreet or a field in Kansas it is equally wrong. A range is not a particular place and they didn't identify the people as stated:

"[t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

It clearly says "AND". They don't know who or what they are targeting and the 4th clearly protects that.
I think this sort of stuff can be useful as an icebreaker into a constructive discussion on how we’re different but taking it at face value is a big problem with pigeon holing and what not.
This is my method.

- I make a list of things I need to get done.

- I risk and priority rank the list.

I then entirely ignore the risk and priority for each item on the list and instead do an extra 10 pushups, leg lifts, kegels and sit-ups for each item every day.
> Explain the crate scanner thing?

I assume a reference to tools that help manage potential issues around dependencies, e.g.:

* https://github.com/rustsec/rustsec/tree/main/cargo-audit

* https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/cargo-deny

"[cargo-audit] Audit Cargo.lock files for crates with security vulnerabilities reported to the RustSec Advisory Database."

"cargo-deny is a cargo plugin that lets you lint your project's dependency graph to ensure all your dependencies conform to your expectations and requirements." e.g. license, security advisories, source.
that's why it's better to do it in phases. In 2023 there are several projects of $20-25k EV car with mileage good to go to any suburbs. With EV been a cheaper source compares to Disel it's no brainer. Timing is a king in this transition.

What opens such a lucrative pricing for car manufactures? battery production improvements on a scale created by the demand. By applying import tax in 2025 you can set a clear target for companies that yet doesn't have such plans despite tech enabling advancements.

I used "progressive" to use same principle. You have same brakets, but instead of money tax payer/importer checks emission points. If you are within average, you're good, no taxes, slightly higher - some taxes, dirty economy, very high tax.

And with phases we can just change what is normal. So that government put the automatic pressure on most dirty economies, but also will show the path to the rest.
There are a few issues. First, Estonia is a small country and it's relatively easier. Second, there's no legacy solution to comply with when a new feature is developed. US has both federal and local government systems, and many agencies with their own services. That creates an overhead for a new and standard[1] solution.

Ask HN: What is your favorite book for learning statistics?
Daniel Kahneman’s assertion that we’re not great intuitive statisticians got me thinking how poorly I understood stat despite intro classes in college.

What is your favorite book that transformed the way you interpret and produce statistics?
FWIW, I realize that Google generally does not have a good perception around privacy, especially here, but I do want to highlight that Workspace is an entirely different creature. Because Workspace is a paid enterprise product, and Google sells it to the F500/G1000, plus a bunch of government agencies, the privacy controls are held to a much more stringent level. Workspace data, including email, cannot be used for advertising, for search result customization, maps data, or any other non-Workspace purpose.

I'm a reasonably privacy conscious individual, and I trust my own personal data to Workspace because having worked on Workspace for two years at Google, I saw how carefully Workspace user data was treated, especially for paid users.

None of that is to address the other points you bring up - simpler, cheaper - but I wanted to emphasize that I actually would trust Google more in this area than a random third-party hosted email solution. Someone like a protonmail or fastmail I don't consider "random", and I assume MSFT is as careful as Google given their enterprise background - but from smaller companies, I have a hard time believing they've invested so much effort in protecting user data as Google has.

(obligatory disclosure: I work for Google, used to work on Workspace until about 6 months ago, just my opinions)
One day, humans in the future will look in awe that a role such as Fact Checker was viewed with anything less than contempt.

They will also remark on how odd it was that a small little dot in Northern California felt themselves capable of this task, and simultaneously did not understand why they were unpopular with everyone but themselves.
> We decided to purchase a VPS in Azure in the Germany region. Running the script there improved the Nginx PID retrieval significantly (30 seconds to 5 seconds) but the exploit still didn’t show results. Eventually, we noticed the new VPS only had 4 cores. We spent a few more $ to buy a 16-core VM in Germany, and got the flag within 5 seconds!

This is the best answer and the media looks for opportunities to push an agenda. I'd rather Alexa sometimes get things wrong because it is just searching the web than to have it constantly updated with "approved" content.
By who though? Facebook?

Fact checking can certainly only be done in a transparent process with democratic legitimization.

Anyway the idea to take on the responsibility for fact-checking seems kinda awful if I were a corporation I'd try to hand that over to someone else, there is going to be a lot of trouble in that area in the future.

The FDA censors medical speech. There is no constitutional issue.
God this whole podcast is beautiful. I love it.
That's easy enough to do: Alexa or any such system is extraordinarily complex and there are all kinds of edge cases that can be imagined where such a system might give out some stupid facts. As long as there is no evidence of recklessness, and as long as cases like this get corrected promptly (and Amazon did that), I can't see negligence here.

Looking to a more codified legal definition of negligence comes out even more strongly in my favor, because there was no injury and no victim, here.
Well, the article highlighted above was censored and fact checked for calling out a bogus study used to support nationwide medical policy…
