the way I explained it gets you to the right answer more quickly and frequently, plot proficiency vs experience (generally measured by time)

yes, a curve can change its slope from "learn the basics of" vs "gain more proficiency" and any place where it's not steep indicates difficulty.

that some things might have easy basics and other things might not have easy basics isn't really material, but where it matters, picking up the basics would be steep if it is easy.

"Transform your perspective thus: rather than seeing the job as carrying out someone else’s will in exchange for money, see it as itself your sacred cosmic duty. What important task do you do for the project you work for? How does that project fit into creating a more glorious future? How is that future pleasing to God, the proper order of things, and your own felt value instincts? Your wage is just a budget given to you to help you carry out this sacred duty; give your whole life to the task at hand, and take responsibility for its whole logic. If something in that entire chain of purpose back to the highest purposes isn’t right, fix it. You own the task and the task owns you."

Wow, what is this even.

I think you're confusing socialism with welfare state. Many of the countries you claim to be socialist are free market capitalist democracies, only with more taxes, regulation and welfare than some would like.
> It may be that the societal rejection autistic people face give them a perspective that enables a more rational worldview, or it could be directly caused by the autism itself.

I think this would only work if all the other people who were also rejected (schizophrenics, bipolars, adhds, etc.) were also more rational and I don't think this is the case (or even close to being the case.) I'm guessing the researchers would have accounted for that.
Yes, she lost because of bad strategy and bad press, not because she was unpopular.

Certainly not because Trump was significantly more popular.

> I had no idea that he felt this way before the meeting

Meaning, your manager did not say anything about her boss being disappointed with how long things were taking?

> I have no clue what happened in that meeting and I haven't heard anything about it from either of them since.

This and the observation above, assuming it's true (that your manager never said anything about her boss being disappointed), makes me think you might be putting more weight than necessary on what happened in the meeting with your boss. At the very least, you might want to double check.

One way to double check would be to ask some coworkers for feedback on your manager's boss and his communication style. Are the kinds of things he said in the meeting with you signs that he's really disappointed and might ask your manager to take some action, or are they just spur of the moment things that don't imply any longer term consequences?

Another way to double check would be to schedule a 1 on 1 with your manager (if you don't already have regularly scheduled 1 on 1s, otherwise just use the next scheduled one) and say that it looks to you like the project is pretty much done but you want to make sure there aren't any loose ends. Then briefly describe what you've completed, and what still needs to be done, and ask if there is anything else that you need to do to finish the project off. During your description, you should mention the key criticisms that your boss had and describe what you learned from them and how you are hoping to apply what you learned to your next project. Your manager's reactions and feedback during all of this should be informative.

> it feels like an inauspicious start

Actually, for a first project in your first job out of college, you should expect to make mistakes. We all do at that stage of our careers. If at the end of the day the project is done and meets requirements (and I'm assuming that's the case here, since you say the deadline was moved and is still in the future and you say it's pretty much done), overall it's a success. The real question here is how your manager and her boss deal with the fact that you, in your first project in your first job out of college, made mistakes but still ended up delivering a successful project. Good managers and bosses recognize that newbies will make mistakes, and will be looking for signs that you learned from those mistakes so you won't make the same ones on your next project.
I totally understand your point of view, and you are not at fault at all. Anyone with a small business who's faced with the faceless, understaffed customer service at modern web companies would have done the same thing. I hope your issue gets resolved quickly.

IMO now that Twilio is a public company, they should be investing in better customer service. I am simply encouraging them to solve the actual problem in addition to unblocking you; hence the "also commit to...", not "instead commit to..."

I hope my comment is not used as justification to not solve your problem. That would be the very last thing I want.
The only real solution for this is going to be the government stepping in and ordered the carriers to fix their fraud and abuse issues.

They're trying to offload the problem onto Twilio which then winds up passing that onto their customers.

Of course solving the abuse problem means spending money to cut off the revenue they actually see from the scammers sending texts. They'll never be incentivized to do anything about it unless the government were to make them an offer that they couldn't refuse.

That'll never happen though because the government is bought off by corporate lobbyists, so we will continue to evolve into more and more of a third world scam economy.
You should keep reading.

> She says that they once did a blind test with some customers. They cooked the same cut of beef in a gas oven and in the satellites. “Everyone preferred the second version,” she says. The layer of walnuts, restaurant cooks explain, add smoky notes to the food while also filtering the sun’s rays to aid in even cooking.

So they're altering the recipe / dish layout slightly to accommodate for the different heating style, which alters the flavor.
Before CarPlay, I’d agree, but no more. Now the car infotainment is basically just a monitor and interface for my phone, and I couldn’t be happier. I can keep on upgrading my phone and the tech in my car can keep on improving.

I hated these ones so much in school because I'd be like 3 letters past the typo and reflexively hit backspace 4 times to get rid of the typo, which just registered as more mistakes because it had blocked those 3 additional letters and so would only accept 1 backspace.

> Crypto won’t fix political and economic problems but only worsen them.

Let me guess... have you mostly experienced life in developed countries with relatively stable financial system, non-fluctuating consumer goods prices? There are a ton of people living under extremely corrupt and dysfunctional financial systems, whose #1 concern in life is to make sure their purchasing power does not disappear the next day. For them, land, gold, and bitcoin solve a problem. Americans with simplistic "I <3 Bernanke" opinions sure assume that will "worsen" stuff; true or not, it is irrelevant to the individual in such countries who will keep on trying hard to accumulate every non-cash asset they can get their hands on.
,, thought it's over-engineered’’

Every code in the world is over-engeneered, as it’s a living thing changed by many people whose only goal is to not introduce new bugs while introducing a new feature. Removing code is hard, because it requires a deep understanding of the system. The best software engineers I know are the best people who can improve messy code substantially with the minimum amount of changes.

> For some handle types like sockets, for hardware reasons (multicore CPUs) Linux no longer guarantees sequential file descriptors.

huh? this would be a severe POSIX violation, which says that for socket and accept, "The file descriptor shall be allocated as described in File Descriptor Allocation.": "All functions that open one or more file descriptors shall, unless specified otherwise, atomically allocate the lowest numbered available (that is, not already open in the calling process) file descriptor at the time of each allocation."
No you don't get it, they use those things, so they're OK! They don't use crypto, so it must have no usecases, and must be banned!!
370g of carbon required per day? That can't be. Even with a pure fat-based diet, 370g of fat (9 kcal/g) equals 3330 kcal daily - way too high for the sedentary HN requirement of 2000 kcal.

With 2000 kcal, three meals with four pills equals twelve lard pills, each in a squishy 2.7cm cube format, easy to swallow. ;-)
I bet you could make a lot of money advertizing an elective rabies vaccine to people searching for rabies on YouTube. They might not ultimately need it, but if they're willing to pony up some money for peace of mind, why not?
I have actually. The ones in Korea and Japan were excellent. Thats why I specifically mentioned the US. I'm not sure why there is a such a stark difference (cultural reasons?) but it remains the public transit in most of the US is a terrible experience.
That’s IP.

Do you think Supreme has anything valuable beyond its logo mark?
It’s an ad-hoc system. Don’t try to look for a hidden beautiful logic. The “system” only makes sense to employees who’ve learned the numbers by heart. It’s trying and failing at keeping track of all the possible manufacturing processes, their related constraints (some elements only come in sets of different bricks, other come only in a minimum quantity). Also the nomenclature in house is a mess: terms like bricks, elements and parts are used interchangeably depending on the department.

I don't think most of the affected cars have OTA updates or network connectivity of any kind.
> Accept that ideas are low value. If you love the idea, set it free.

I disagree. Value of an idea is on a scale too. Some ideas are more obvious than others because the evidence required to evaluate it is more readily available. Therefore, they are not terribly valuable since a lot of people can and do act on them.

Some ideas are valuable yet hidden from most because the context to evaluate them properly is not readily available.

Some ideas are valuable for some yet unpursuable because of existing systems and ideologies in place (aka Innovator's Dilemma)

In short, "ideas are worthless" became a meme but it's extremely distilled. There is a lot more nuance to it

Sonos seems to patented the concept of "paired" speakers itself, and the protocol used to synchronize speaker's clocks for synchronous playback.

I wonder how Bose manages to produce their own multiroom system. Do they license the patents or do they somehow work around them?
> Some disorders are caused not by disconnection from reality, but rather too accurate a view of reality.

Yeah, I've heard this about depression. [1]

> Depressive realism is the hypothesis developed by Lauren Alloy and Lyn Yvonne Abramson that depressed individuals make more realistic inferences than non-depressed individuals. Although depressed individuals are thought to have a negative cognitive bias that results in recurrent, negative automatic thoughts, maladaptive behaviors, and dysfunctional world beliefs, depressive realism argues not only that this negativity may reflect a more accurate appraisal of the world but also that non-depressed individuals' appraisals are positively biased.

It's honestly hilarious seeing first worlders getting upset that those in the 3rd world are using crypto for some of the things it was actually originally envisioned to do: break from the traditional centralized banking and legal system.

Crypto got white-washed by many of the masses as something seeking legitimacy when in reality the crypto doesn't care whether you are seeking legitimacy or not, it's just a tool. One the Argentinians are using wisely.

Not having a backup or turnover process in place is a rookie move made by companies that haven't reached a maturity.

Thinking the employee is sabotaging by leaving the company is a sign you don't understand what the role of an employee is. You are not 5 friends hacking together a game and if someone quits because they get a girlfriend you call them a dick.
You are a resource that has been purchased and assigned to work on a specific task. The company hopes to leverage something you do into a profit or as support for a business unit.
Google Assistant is pretty impressive, and getting more so every day.

Wanna see what it can do? Give your phone to a 7 year old. My kid has conversations with the "Google Lady" fairly often, and they go on for considerable length. I'm regularly amazed at her ability to come up with something reasonable. Even if it is just to keep a kid amused.

Also, when I get frustrated with her and say something mean to her (the Google Lady, not my kid), she'll tend to respond in a way that makes me feel genuinely bad. That's impressive.

(I know Google is not loved at HN, but still.... )
Have a corrective upvote. I don't think it's a completely unreasonable thought and possibly not entirely irrelevant.

But a more likely explanation is that it is easier for men to understand what is going on with a man's body and it's easier to have that conversation between two men.

Medical research has a history of skewing towards investigating male health issues because men have historically been in charge of such research and because medical research has often been done on medical students and that population tended to be mostly male.

A male doctor I was friends with told me once that the first time some woman had her brain scanned, everyone was freaking out because it was radically different from all scans on record. Then they realized all brain scans on record were male and they had no meaningful baseline record for a female brain, so they had no idea what this meant and they calmed down. It maybe only meant that men and women have brain differences. It didn't necessarily mean there was something pathological going on.
I think you meant this tongue in cheek, but this seems highly unlikely.

The neocortex handles rational thinking and reasoning, so an increased reliance on it would put autism further from evolutionary predecessors. Also, you would expect the ratios of allistics:autistic to be reversed as well.

Also, as a mildly autistic person, I don't believe autism would be a beneficial trait in the wild. I would probably be fine, but some of my tendencies would lessen my likelihood of survival.

I personally feel that interview gimmicks like this are a major reason we lack diversity in our field. Want to keep marginalized candidates out of your organization? Create a gimmick to intimidate and mock them during the interview process. Then sit back and pat yourself on the back for being so clever.

This is like looking to hire an English teacher then asking them to prove they can teach in Esperanto in order to get a job.
you have it backwards. the quote that you are referring to, that "a steep learning curve" is a misnomer, means it's a misnomer if by that you mean it's difficult.

It's not wrong to say "steep learning curve" if you mean it's easy

"I can't even get my business partner to agree with me on mundane things let alone a grand plan to shape the world regardless of wealth."

You don't have enough money.

"Your argument hinges on this hypothetical "you""

It does. So, do you think that politicians, businessmen - the really successful ones, are there on merit? That these are the best of us? Or the worst? Do they even have a morality?

"Besides does this mindset serve you in any way ?"

Fair question.

It doesn't serve me when it comes to finding motivation to earn more money, get my children into better schools, having a fantastic holiday, a holiday home, etc.

If you are prepared to consider that there is more to life than contorting yourself that enable you to make more money though, perhaps. I seek to uncover as much truth as I can in my way. I think my search does serve me in my attempt to live a meaningful life. Regardless of what others may say is a meaningful life.

One way to consider it, is that when we die we judge ourselves. We might ask, did we do what should have, did we do it right, did we even try? Why wait to do the things you think/know are right?

The HP95LX [1] was introduced in 1991, ran from two AA batteries, has MS-DOS and include a ROM version of the Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet.

Eight years earlier, in 1983, the Tandy TRS-80 Model 100 [2] was remarkable: 4 line x 40 char display, 8kB RAM, powered by 4 AA batteries, all for $799.

Incidentally, the May 1983 issue of Byte magazine in [2] was themed "The Electronic Office" and is full of ads for Apple, Microsoft and IBM products, amongst others. Back then, a 20MB hard drive was $3300, equivalent to $9000 in today's money.

Since web3 can be anything, for me it is web1: federation, open protocols, individual autonomy, few ads. I'm pretty sure VCs are interested in none of that. They made web1 into web2, after all.

But that is relative to the GPS epoch. I have a handheld Garmin that needed a firmware update after the last GPS week rollover because it didn't deal with the epoch change and displayed a date 20 years in the past. Anything built before 2019 could be prone to this.
Is Kana input really that much faster than Romaji? I've almost never seen it used (presumably because you have to learn romaji input to type in English anyway, so why learn a second input method), so can't speak to its speed.

However, is it possible that ten-key style input could actually be faster than Kana input? After all, direct Kana input in Japanese is kind of equivalent to Roman input in English in the sense of one key = one character, but this keyboard claims to be faster than direct input due to not needing to move your fingers around. Couldn't the same thing be true for Japanese? In fact, for Kana input the problem of finger travel is even worse due to more keys = longer travel.
Large organizations have bad and great managers, so the best thing is to change team if there’s a problem with the manager in a good company.
I've seen that too and agree. However to add some nuance as a somewhat anprim, the appeal to me is the raw simplicity of things and direct connection to so much of life. An analogy might be someone who is excited by writing assembly.
