Good MBA programs have courses in linear programming and optimization, complex financial modeling, and supply chain that are quantitative in nature.

There are also technology components that review basic IT setups for a business.

They teach you how to think about markets, and how to review financial statements and understand a business’ profit and operations, and offer opportunity to get capital. The org behavior courses teach about how to actually get an organization to achieve its desired outcome. And that can be way more powerful than a solo person working alone in a lab.

An ideal MBA with experience post-school would be able to look at an idea, figure out if it’s a viable product with a good market fit, have the contacts to get financing, the connections to get it produced at the right quality with the lowest possible cost, hedge against forex risks, work with lawyers to negotiate the associated contracts (or know enough to not get screwed), record and accurately report the profits to governments and stakeholders, and get the right people onboarded (these are the soft skills) to get the work done.
Anecdotally - again, at least for tech and not the whole market.

It does really boil down to if your company has a culture of documentation, reading and writing, before needing to interface with someone in real-time.

Anyone who’s contributed to open source software understands this style of “remote” working, as that’s the default.
Kinokuniya[0] has plenty of locations in the US if you're around a major city. The one nearest to me is a small shop within an asian grocery store, but the selection seemed pretty good for how small the store was.

Right! Remember when Google made their Maps API far more restrictive and it broke a whole bunch of cool applications that were built on top of it? That can't happen with OSM.
No, it's because they can request everything from FB and instagram, including message content.

You're right on the money. Plus, most people want to see if the role is actually a fit. 50% of the roles I receive are data pipeline and BI infrastructure roles. I'm on the analytics side but because SQL is on my resume, it comes up in their searches. Majority of recruiters don't know the different so of course I don't want to waste 10-15 minutes on each of these calls.
There are a lot of trash PhDs out there.
I use an eSIM through Google Fi and it’s a mess. There is a precise ceremony that has to be followed, isn’t well documented, and every time I have had to restart the process fresh multiple times.

Simple physical interfaces are far superior.
Also a fair point.
You haven’t met good ones, and that’s likely why they were replaced.
NixOS is the only system I'm yet to break, and I've been using it at home for 2 years and at work full-time for a couple months.

an MBA involves a lot of case studies. that's breaking down what happened with a given business over a period of time in some detail. at least back in my day, MBA programs had a lot of reading and writing them

They all suck. Look at each platform's verion of "Trending Now". It's just a rehash of titles in the other categories prominently displayed in "Just Added" or other some such listing of 10 to at most 20 titles. Of course those are trending because discovery of titles suck and people just give up and choose something that's right in front of them.

I want to "discover" by browsing not the most current titles available in this current licensing window. I want to be able to browse from the evergreen catalog. I want to see the things that don't have a high dollar marketing campaign guaranteeing prominent placement. Maybe these platforms don't have a large inventory of evergreen content??? There are times I want to find some title that is older. The content that wasn't along the outer walls of Blockbuster.
The scale of compute changed:

- Mobile (iOS and Android)

- "The cloud": the systems became multi-computer networks. (Aurora, Mesos, Kubernetes, etc.)

- Web Browser as a platform (and associated technologies, such as Node)

The scale of the problem changed and shifted. Single machine scheduling is not as interesting, since large scale computing is about that, scale (even at the cost of some efficiency). You could say that Amazon EC2 is a cloud operating system (thought as all the separate subsystems that allow a mostly frictionless experience).

Mobile shifted the focus to security and energy consumption.

And the Web changed what a system platform is. The browser is a system abstraction, to the point where things like Chromebooks are viable. Code is now portable, run anywhere.
> YAMAMOTO PAPER told us that they believe paper selection will be more limited in the near future as manufacturing becomes more streamlined and people move to digital tools. Their hope is that people will get to know Japanese paper culture as it is now before it permanently changes.

Just making sure, when you say wrong password, was the password completely wrong, or you changed the lower/upper case? There's a separate conversation on this topic here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29708869

And again, to confirm, you used the wrong password and received an email saying "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize" ?

Thanks!
A "complete replacement" for GPG would be a dumb idea to begin with.

You want a specific tool for each of these use-cases. Choose one from the list for each use case.

1. Private messaging: Signal, WhatsApp, Cwtch

2. File encryption: age

3. Encrypted backups: age + a Reed-Solomon encoder for catching flipped bits

4. Digital signatures: minisign, signify, OpenSSH signatures

The problem with GPG (and with PGP in general) is it tried to do too many things. Complexity is the enemy of security.
Sounds ripe for disruption for a coordination app of some sort to track different progress of things…

> The data entered from other people is not yours.

Citation for this? It seems pretty intuitive to me that messages sent to me are considered to be "my data", and your claim doesn't seem to be consistent with the overall theme of the GDPR...

At the very least, there's a distinction between personal information such as your name and address (which the GDPR regulates the collection of), and non-personal content like anonymous usernames and sent messages.
The publishers that sued them are asking for a seriously large amount of money and the deletion of all the books they've ever scanned. That's a pretty big deal, don't you think?
The question of the day for that video will end up being:

“In what ways do they restrict the available voice commands and results to protect children?”

And I bet it will be found that their interface allows never-reviewed-by-Amazon content to be read out loud to children, because Amazon loves to externalize human costs.
Eh, it's pretty new, and new cryptosystems are often more likely to have vulnerabilities. It's still safer than PGP, but that's not a high bar. Hopefully over the coming years it will become more widely used and scrutinized with few vulnerabilities reported, in which case it will then be more clearly safe to rely on.
> Can you explain further why this would be a good standard, or how it would help?

Without this as a standard what are you left with to verify the divine is the divine and not a con? I think we can both agree that there are a lot of crazy cults and charismatic leaders that claim things they aren't and can use tricks and the slight of hand to prove things that aren't true. Assuming a loving god exists, shouldn't that being give us a way to tell the difference between false beliefs and true beliefs? Or if that doesn't matter to this divine being, then why would it be important to be a believer in the first place? The best way I know how to verify truth is repeatable tests with measurable results. Do you have a better way?

> I mean, suppose you were god (with the usual alleged attributes that generate this kind of issue). How would you make yourself repeatable or testable?

How couldn't you?

Assuming I'm the god of the universe, then the test would be as easy as "Anyone that thinks 'all hail cogman10!' will see a gold star in the periphery of their vision." Heck, I could simply have all my creations be born with the innate knowledge that I exist and these are my rules.

If you are a all knowing, all powerful, ever present being then constructing any sort of "this will always return true" test would be trivial. There are already tests like this in the bible "if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can move a mountain". Wouldn't the act of asking for literally anything demonstrate the minimal amount of faith?

But, assuming there is some law of the universe that I'm bound by (making me not all powerful), then I'd surely know how to communicate specifically with cogman10 to let them know that I exist beyond doubt (and to do that for everyone). If I didn't know that, then I must not be all knowing.

Or, if I didn't care to communicate that and instead I'm fine with my creations being tortured for eternity over an instant of choices... then I'm not particularly good or loving.

I picked prayer because it's a concept I'm most familiar with from my mormon upbringing.

> * Resilience (e.g. water/dust proofing).

Phones already were water proof when they had sim cards and phone jack.

While I never owned an iPhone, those changes annoy me immensely. The reason for it is that Android manufacturers are copying all of that. I'm currently want to update phone, and want one with sd card and phone jack. Those two things make my selection much smaller. And looking at trends looks like very soon it will be similarly gone as physical keyboard is.
How do you deal with the lack of community packages that Python has. I wanna try Nim but that is the only thing stopping me right now.
You can't do quadruple esim, but arguably the experience with 4 esims on a single device is much better than carrying 4 sims.

"You can store more than one eSIM in your iPhone, but you can use only one at a time. To switch eSIMs, tap Settings, tap either Cellular or Mobile Data, and then tap the plan you want to use. Then tap Turn On This Line." [1]

On the iPhone 13, you can actually use two esims at the same time.

If you have the same rectangular area for the whole keyboard, offset rectangular keys will provide greater touch area than hexagonal.

Hexagonal keys might provide more accuracy, as they approximate circles more closely while still tiling, but they are going to waste some space at the edges of the area.
Ask HN: What are some of your learnings from migrating a large app to NextJS?
We're planning on migrating our fairly large codebase over to NextJS from Create React App next year and I'm keen to understand what we should be looking out for which might catch us off guard.

If you've embarked on a similar migration from CRA, another framework or a homegrown React app to NextJS what are some of the learnings you discovered along the way that would be useful for us and other teams to know before diving in?

Have you? Do you donate for any project?
I've always found it annoying that there isn't a properly supported python package for gnupg. There were like two or three forks that were maintained properly but each one had its "time". It's very confusing for people to begin with using PGP since you have to understand which one to use and the history and why they all exists. A lot of fuss if you ask me.
That really falls on management and having the right docs and communications written ready before the juniors need it.
According to Wikipedia, GPT-3 is almost there (88% vs ~92%) and a finetuned BERT even achieves >90%. So it stands to reason that a finetuned GPT-x would pass the test with flying colours albeit arguably not being very capable at "common sense reasoning" (whatever that should be, as "common sense" is often enough wrong).

I am sceptical of such tests, as all they do is provide yet another way to game the system instead of demonstrating whatever arbitrary construct scientists use to weasel around the fact that they don't actually know what they even mean by "intelligence".

IMHO we'd be better off defining characteristics for various levels/types of intelligence and trying to categorise our machines and fellow creatures accordingly.

That's not an argument against MBA's having hard skills. It's an argument for a finely standardized product.

MBAs are a commodity, but they do or at least can have hard skills. I've wasted plenty of time and money on subpar market entry and expansion that could have been saved had I worked with people with some theoretical background on those.
I think this article makes sense and makes a strong case for valuing a PhD if you have already completed one and don't plan to enter academia. You haven't wasted your time. But it doesn't make a strong case for choosing to pursue higher education beyond a proper, legit masters degree.

I know MS degrees have been somewhat cheapened, as they are a quick and easy degree that qualifies for the much higher federal loan limits. A university can enroll lots of MS students, supervise them poorly, and profit. But there are still MS programs with a lot of integrity, where you can learn (provided you seek out the opportunity) to write a grant, publish, and do intense data analysis. In STEM, many masters programs also tend to offer RA and/or TAships, which means you can graduate with minimal debt, and you'll have the opportunity to present at mini-conferences or seminars.

You won't be as good at this as you would if you pursued a PhD, but if you get a job and keep working on it, you will be better off in 4-5 years. That said - if you want to go the academic route, a PhD is so close to essential that I'm happy to give a half hand wave and call it essential.
My ideal goes further than that. All I want is a reasonable data plan with non extortionate roaming rates from my existing provider (phone service is not important to me these days due to FaceTime/WhatsApp/etc). Some providers were starting to offer decent roaming to a large selection of countries that came out of your existing allowance with no additional charge but they seem to have started rolling back on that now as margins are getting squeezed. There is no reason for roaming charges for 1 week to be higher than the cost of a 1 month pre-paid local sim.
Yeah, it's as if the error message (when using a wrong password on a new IP) was trying to not say that the password is wrong. It's just saying "check your email", just as if you had typed in the correct password (from a new IP).

But when you did attempt to login with a wrong password, you never received a "Someone just used your master password to try to log in to your account from a device or location we didn't recognize" email, correct?
I'm a bit confused; if we assume that web-of-trust isn't viable, what exactly is good about how PGP does identity?
"forms of sexual conduct that were traditionally regarded in the West and many other places as beneath the dignity of human beings as free and rational creatures."

That doesn't say what you claim it says.

And you seem to be arguing from silence. You're right that the president of Princeton doesn't say that he isn't a bigot. He also doesn't claim that he is. The second sentence of your first paragraph is putting words in the president's mouth that he didn't say.
Upvoted. Some more details FWIW:

> Telegram group chats are very much available to law enforcement if they can convince Telegram to hand over the data.

Telegram public channels and groups are open, including for law enforcement. They also say openly that they cooperate with everyone to take down certain illegal material from channels and open groups.

Telegram claimed as late as a few months ago - and nobody has proven otherwise in any form as far as I can see - that not a byte of their users private data (i.e. not on open groups or channels) have been handed over to any government.

I cannot prove this and also I'm getting more careful with Telegram these days (this might come as a surprise for some of you who know my history of defending Telegram) but I still think

1. if it was possibly to prove something else there are enough Telegram haters just on HN to make sure to leak it

2. just to be clear I still think it is a very good alternative for friend-to-friend-communication, group communication etc, I'm just looking for alternatives as I go forward, and also I am worried when I see police using it at work.
I saw the same error earlier today, but trying to log into LastPass.com now shows this error: "You may have mistyped your email address. Try again."

At this stage, it's unclear if my account is already deleted, or if my account is flagged for something else. If it's deleted, it would have been ideal to send an email confirmation about it, but that hasn't happened so far.
OSM is so good that even the fire fighters use it in Poland for navigation and finding fire hydrants. The funny thing is that if you modify or add a fire hydrant a guy from the emergency services asks to send a picture of it before he approves the change.
Never heard of Age here. I looked, seems like it is brand new?
>I also do not understand why "Closed-loop" terminology is implying that this system is something new or distinct as all geothermal systems to my knowledge use closed loop systems to prevent environmental damage

Large-scale geothermal systems attempted up to now have generally been of the the type where you frack deep underground rock, then dig two wells into the fracked rock field, pump cool water into one and let it heat as it percolates through, then pump it back out the other.

This as you mention carries the potential for environmental damage, but has been seen as necessary to overcome the problem of rock's slow thermal recharge rate.

The linked paper suggests the rock thermal recharge problem can be overcome by digging not one but several horizontal pipes connecting the two deep vertical wells.
Real servers, they don't even need to be expensive. But spammers would not create 12 month contracts. Bonus: as much traffic as you like and REAL hardware. Starts at 6$/month.
That's the point, the plugs and sockets are sort-of compatible. With a single market and freedom of movement this type of misuse is quite common and dangerous.

You struggle to plug any type of shuko/europlug/US/Austrailian plug into a socket in Malta or Cyprus, and vice versa.

Things shouldn't be safe when used right, they should be safe and not work at all the vast majority of times when used wrong.
I think there’s also another aspect that gets missed; the lack of being around other humans, which is subtly different to socialising.

Pre-covid, most people were around multiple other people for most of their waking life. I don’t think it’s at all surprising that a mode of working where you spend every working day without seeing another human is causing some people difficulty.
Nope. Missed a heartbeat means gone. We discuss churn later in the article.
Its effects are complicated, but as long as d holds, everything else holds.
Most of the Python packages for GPG just shell out to gnupg, which is not really the greatest API.
+10000%. Coworking is, for me, remote working done right: you get to separate your "work family" from your employer/clientele, which means you can change one without changing the other at your discretion.
Not all geothermal systems are closed loop. I have an open-loop geothermal system at my house on Cape Cod, MA. It uses the same water pump I use for my domestic water, runs it through the heat pump, and discharges back to the aquifer via another well drilled exclusively for this purpose.

I am skeptical about this. There are hundreds of mobile operators worldwide and many of them do not support eSIM. Admittedly Apple are no stranger to pulling stunts that upset users but removing something core to the very critical feature of the device (that is, a phone working as a phone) is surely unlikely?

I haven't heard of this before. How does it compare to Sigstore?

(Also, the use case here is clearly much, much narrower than for age and minisign. Which is good, assuming the problem it solves is the problem you have, but should still be noted.)
I like languages for different things:

- C++ : Mostly what I work in, for raw speed and control.

- Ada : Most of the C++ feature set (RAII, custom alloc) with straightforward syntax. It's very underrated (aspects and built-in concurrency are amazing) easy to call C from, and has its own package manager.

- Python : cross-platform automation
I never really said it was easy. I pursued medicine in part because of pressure from family. I am not looking for an out, just trying to pursue an interest and see what it’s like professionally, which is why I asked here. You make a lot of assumptions which are very wrong.
> DRM is a bandaid whose need arises from trying to apply traditional economic models (of buying and selling physical, tangible things) to digital assets that never wear out and cost /essentially/ nothing to duplicate and distribute

We need to embrace the digital model, not fight it. Detach ownership and control from the output, there are plenty of business models that work when the product is freely reproduceable.

Because right now we've created a hellscape where consumers have zero control or agency over their media, and we are erasing the old ways of physically possessing it.
> What guarantees that, having done an irrevocable funds transfer, you get something back?

How is that at all different from a regular bank transfer?
I have this problem, and it takes concerted effort for me not to "fix" those situations. Even though I know they're better off if they figure it out themselves, my desire to "help" people is very hard to overcome. I use quotes around those words because I know that what I'm doing is not actually those things in many cases, and they'd actually be better off if I waited for them to ask for help.
