Sure - but the point is that the original commenter is using an extreme as though it was typical or necessary, when it is clearly not.

I have a curry recipe that takes about 3 hours to execute, however it makes about 20 portions which can then be frozen, and reheated. That’s 9 minutes per portion, and reheating it along with some rice from a rice cooker takes 5-6 minutes of attention. I.e. 15 minutes per meal.

My lunch today will be pan fried salmon with crispy skin, a baked potato, and lettuce.

The potato takes at most 2 minutes to scrub and put into a toaster oven. It takes about 2 minutes to rinse and select a few lettuce leaves. The salmon takes about 10 minutes to pin-bone, season, and cook isolaterally. Again, around 15 minutes.

I learned the salmon cooking technique from watching a 10 minute Gordon Ramsay YouTube video. This stuff isn’t rocket science. You don’t have to spend 7 hours a day cooking, but you do have to accumulate learned techniques steadily over time, just like with anything you want to do yourself.
Why? Can't you recompile your code?

"What do you get the man who has everything? Might I suggest a gravestone inscribed with the words: so what?” — Simon Munnery

I think I probably just wouldn't do it. In part because I suspect the main motivation is our existential angst more than a genuine desire to help unknown future persons.
Similarly if a Reddit link on mobile ever harasses you to get the app or whatever, just change the www to i. i.reddit.com is the low-bandwidth mobile site.
I do agree that structuring this as a print journal is pointless and a relic if a past era.

This should be something implemented using something like science-octopus.org or osf.io
"Induced demand" doesn't just mean increasing the number of drivers, it means increasing the number of miles driven.

In a metro area housing prices are generally correlated with how many minutes it takes to get to a city center. If you add highway capacity then people will choose to move further out to the suburbs. (Though that is great for property values, especially around the periphery of the commuting range.)
And not sure if it an issue across all of America. I saw a video of a man who had lined his pick up trunk bed with plastic sheeting and was filling it with fuel before driving off. I assume there was no vacuum there? Unless it was a fake video?

If you read to the end the author links to their second article suggesting Kanban instead. I concur with this suggestion in general. This talk is an entertaining classic intro into it: https://youtu.be/CKWvmiY7f_g
The parent just said "automated". Using a tractor driven by a person to till a field is a vast savings over using a horse or person, as was done previously.

Autonomous vehicles and AI have been vastly oversold as a mean or a source of automation. There's been a huge amount of automation through applying regular machines to things that were previously done by hand and that's still where most labor-saving improvements happen.
Do you have any particular references for backyard radio astronomy? I have been thinking about a visible light observatory, but those have a lot of constraints. So I was curious what could be done with a backyard SDR setup.
It's a good gut reaction since software is often lumped in with "services", but in the context of the quoted article most software jobs are probably in the "creative" bucket.

But the author of the quoted article doesn't bother to share their methodology or data, so who the hell really knows shrugs.

Par for the course in sociology, really :)
> I do think you will be on the wrong side of history on this.

Is he or she on the wrong side of history in claiming that the value of human life does not lie in intelligence, or in saying that it would be better to weed out sociopaths? Because you haven't addressed either of those (which seem pretty self-evident to me, but YMMV).
> when what intelligence even means is an active matter of debate.

Is there anything in social science that isn’t an active matter of debate?
I’ve been curious about what are people experiencing when microdosing it?

My understanding is that - nothing, there’s no perceivable difference.

If this is the case, what is the addiction to?
BOX is something similar https://b.watch

Talk is cheap on this. Pretty much every government on earth has committed at least one atrocity, and usually many. Would you condemn a public defender for working for the US government, because the US government murdered millions of Native Americans?

I mean, that's a valid enough position to have, but I don't feel like you have really thought it through.
It would appear that many of the current societal problems aren't simply technical issues that can be solved by analytical intelligence, but rather social ones that appeal to the emotions- Keynes' animal spirits, perhaps- of the masses.

It's rather shortsighted to downplay either component at any level.
Not sure why you're downvoted.
I regularly suggest restaurants pay people more. I will not be shocked or upset when the prices go up. Hopefully way up so we can retire the silly process of having to tip while we're at it, and the restaurant can, in fact, actually pay people. (Note that with pickup orders, the tip line on the receipt is incredibly stressful for me: I shouldn't tip because there isn't table service, but I should tip because the restaurant staff are still getting underpaid...)

And yeah, it's probably going to cause some people to reevaluate going to restaurants. They might cook more at home, and better appreciate the higher cost when they do eat out, and in turn, the world moves forward.
JIRA as a generic issue tracking system is fine - and to the extent that it's used as a generic issue tracking system in cases where you actually need a generic issue tracking system, it's acceptable (bugzilla was just fine, too, though). It is very useful, when somebody identifies and reports an issue, to have an "issue #" to associate with it so that if somebody wants to know whatever happened to issue #34, they can just go take a look and see that it was never assigned to anybody, or it's already been fixed, etc.

The problem is when "scrum masters" start trying to apply Taylorism (the only thing they know) to software development on top of JIRA. That's when you get JIRA tickets with vague descriptions like "simplify login flow" or "reduce memory usage" and some self-important jerk insisting that you either assign a "point value" to it and finish it in two weeks or "break it down into smaller chunks that you can estimate".

This series keeps pretending that restaurants are the only source of food. Restaurants aren't grocery stores. Restaurants are great, and they're a big part of our economy, but they're a luxury. Sorry your margins aren't higher, but I won't be terribly upset if cheaper non-chain restaurants go the way of the dodo bird.
The life of a tech activist: abuse, gaslighting, but ultimately optimism
If you don't remember something the next day, it's probably not important enough to report anyway. Scrum isn't a recitation of minutiae for its own sake, it's a quick summary of progress and blockers. I would hope you could remember what you did or didn't finish yesterday, and whether you're blocked.

And it's great that you communicate with your team when you run into a problem. But spending a few minutes each day giving everyone on the team a quick summary of the outcome of those issues shouldn't seem like a big burden and could be helpful given that you're all working on the same project.
Not counting the 16 PSU's.

There are use cases for having 16 machines instead of one 16 times more powerful one, but lower TCO isn't one of them.

Other than that one employee that was caught front running and was then terminated I see nothing illegal or even close to illegal. There is no difference between opensee and ebay other than that only NFTs are sold.

> For context, when I wrote the first post, we had just the one Wolf Down location in Ottawa. We’ve since opened our second location, in Vegas of all places (we raised funds for this, that’s another story for another post), and launched ghost kitchens in Toronto and Calgary (in partnership with REEF, no upfront cost to us).

That doesn't seem much fucked to me. In fact it sounds like business is going great.
Can we just nudge them to do so under the threat of an influential minority leaving

No. This is a classic mistake of intellectual types, who are impressed by each others' cogent arguments. But there is a much wider pool of people who are not, and among whom the intellectual types actual have very little influence, due to being boring and hard to understand (plus, it has to be said, kind of snobbish about how smart they are).

Now, you might reason that Google is full of smart people who should care about cogent arguments. But that assumes as an unspoken premise that Google's internal goal is to maximize the quality of the service and profit from being The Best. They passed that goal years ago are now so awash in money that it's cheaper to just squash competition than to innovate. They can be moved by threats to advertising revenue got up by angry crowds on social media (a market when they have little direct power), but Google would probably be delighted if grumpy nerds wandered off somewhere else. If they need talent or access to some compelling technology they can just throw a pile of cash at the problem.
There is no such thing as "emotional addiction" or "physical addiction". There is addiction, and some substances have withdrawal symptoms when discontinued.

It refers to the meta-observation that many intelligence measures are correlated.
What do people generally mean when they talk about "stolen art" w.r.t. NFTs?

1. Hackers acquiring private keys and stealing an actual NFT (the token) and moving it into an account they control. Aside from the base-level cryptocurrency malware/phishing, this doesn't seem prevalent, and is really the only thing in this list I'd describe as actual theft.

2. Non-artist creates an NFT using someone else's art, without their knowledge or permission. This might be a copyright violation, depending on the terms set by the original artist when publishing their work. Maybe it's a derived work... is "this jpeg but as an NFT" art in and of itself? I don't think so, but what do I know. This seems like what you're referring to here.

3. Artist creates an NFT of a jpeg of their own art, and then either sells or keeps the NFT. Later, someone views the corresponding jpeg in their web browser, right-click -> save-as, now they have a digital print of art that they paid nothing for. I've seen NFT cryptobros sensationally refer to this as "right click fraud," but it really just sounds like crocodile tears. I mean, really. Everybody knows how browsers work. This is one of the many examples of why NFTs are utterly stupid, but this also seems like it would be a copyright violation, at best.

4. Various combinations of 2. and 3. Maybe you right-click "stole" some images from one NFT, and then mint your own NFT of bit-identical images on a different chain. Or maybe you modified the image encoding so that the images are pixel-identical but not bit-identical, and minted NFTs on the same chain. This is all still just "maybe a copyright violation" until you try to pass it off as something it isn't, and then it's "maybe fraud" as well.
My point was usability. And being (effectively) forced to join / legitimize their hive to get anything done.

It's absurd how HN users in general are so dismissive of anything cryptocurrency.

It's quite reasonable actually, given the prevalence of not just hype, but frequently delusional / just plain rambling and incoherent hype surrounding it -- not to mention blatant fraud and manipulation aimed specifically at unsophisticated users.

And the skivviness of many people involved in it.

That said, the OP presents one of the more thoughtful proposals I've read recently, and may belong to the 5 percent or so of blockchain applications that just might have a useful application. With emphasis on "just might".

We'll see.
I'd be willing to pay more for a better experience. When you go to a restaurant who treats their employees like shit, those same employees seem to not give a shit, because they aren't paid well enough to give a shit. I'd rather go to a great restaurant once than a shit one three times.

It's pretty hard to be hospitable to your guests when you aren't treated hospitably by your employer. Inhospitality trickles down too.
You seem to have two points, and I was responding to this one:

If measuring as a team, then it evens out. Unless you have a specialist that would be better placed on other tasks, and a generalist taking that specialist's tasks, that junior engineer is going to take longer than the senior engineer that has been on the team for a while. So, if you are measuring the team's capacity, it usually doesn't matter what task the junior engineer does - it's going to take longer and require assistance from the senior engineer.

If you measure on size of task with modifiers for tasks novel to the entire team, the differences will usually average out.
Great analogy! Oh wait, it's not and your comment offers nothing of substance to the conversation.
I totally get him. After 3 years of coding you feel great when you click "build" After 30 years of coding you're just really grumpy when you have to click "build" again
As a theoretical: perhaps personality shifts are exactly what is required to treat depression and anxiety.
I think what most people are referring to with cannabis, in terms of it not being addictive, is physiological dependence. Cannabis has very little in terms of withdrawal symptoms, and thus has low propensity towards physiological dependence. I’ve heard people state depression for a few days as one of the few withdrawal symptoms for heavy users. So while the people you may know may be addicted, it’s not because of a physiological dependence but a mental one.

It is a site for a game that died ten years ago so it gets more bots than people at this point. Last month my cloudflare email said they saved me 22.7% of 91.69MB.

So you are correct that the cache is never warm.
> You can tell they think it's super deep and meaningful, but for us sober folk it just seems a little nutty. Stuff like: "We are the UNIVERSE. For the universe is within us." or "The Matrix is a system. That system is our enemy. The very minds of the people that need to be saved are not ready to be unplugged. They will fight to protect their truth, as they should. The saving can only come from within."

Sounds exactly like what "us sober folks" would say after an intensive meditation retreat in the Vipassana tradition. Maybe the entheogen users are just taking a convenient shortcut.
I agree that this is a pretty well-written post. A couple key points that could be further emphasized are that:

1) Recruiters often have quotas too - In many cases, their own performance is measured by hitting hiring targets, so they're incentivized to get you in the door, even if not on best terms for you.

2) In the age of initial RSU stock grants, underleveling can be VERY, VERY costly. The difference between L and L - 1 could be > $100k/year, so the penalty may be far more severe than just time, especially if annual stock refresh is based on level as well.

3) Coding interviews aren't supposed to test knowledge of specific algorithms, but I've been part of a hiring committee at a FAANG and had to request another round of interviewing a few times because the original interviewer failed the candidate based on a chosen coding question that had to do more with knowledge of matrix math, graph theory, etc. than the ability to take a problem, break it down, consider edge cases, and produce code.

4) The process is indeed very arbitrary. My favorite story is about a time I submitted my resume and got a call from a recruiter two weeks later who loved my background. I interviewed and got an offer that I eventually declined. I learned during the process that my application was rejected by the company's resume scanning software. It was purely a coincidence that a recruiter happened upon my LinkedIn profile (which mirrored my resume) at nearly the same time.
