I doubt that in any such cases there has been a complex post-mortem investigation to accurately determine the cause of death.

My father died in this way, but I do not know how.

My mother died suddenly due to a stroke. My father obviously became very sad and he said that he had always wished to die simultaneously with her. After less than a week he was dead too.

At that time he had a form of cancer and it was expected that he will live less than a year, but there was no sign that he might die so quickly.

He did not change any of his habits, e.g. he ate exactly like before. During the last 3 days he was hospitalized and apparently he was well taken care of, but that did not help.

Nevertheless, a week was enough for his wish to become true. It seems that he had some sort of renal failure and he died during the night, but how that happened is unknown.

In any case, after this personal experience I have no doubt that people can die when they are convinced that they should.
I believe it's possible to have a state whose powers and authority are fundamentally limited. I also believe that was the original intention of US. I agree taxes must be levied. I just disagree it's legitimate to levy them for most of what they are spent on today.

If I ask myself "what should the state be allowed to do?", it's basically answered by "what would I be comfortable holding a gun to someone's head for?". To take a popular example: If it's wrong to hold a gun to a doctor's head in order to force them to treat a patient (which I think it is), and it's wrong to hold a gun to a bystander's head to force them to pay the doctor, then it's wrong to fund healthcare with taxation.
It affects users of their DNS servers, which isn't the same as people who trust them.

And it's because of the centralized structure of DNS technology that it's possible for Russian sovereign orders to propagate DNS information to those users.

Just like the political science benevolent dictator replaced in a coup, retaining the previously-built chain of command.
I too am very interested in messing around with this. Very cool idea.
OpsTrace took an interesting approach (and was a YC company too, recently acquired by GitLab). We are a managed solution, whereas OpsTrace was a self hosted open source solution. And we are not building on top of other open source tools. With ContainIQ, you can get metrics natively and other features that you wouldn't otherwise be able to get (ex p95 latency by endpoint) with OpsTrace and its integrations.
California needs to adopt this next. Can you tell me what's bad about forcing companies to be straightfoward about salaries?
Not excusing their lack of support, but at the end of the day you sent a spam/phishing message through their service. What exactly are they supposed to do? If they don't immediately shut down accounts that send these messages, they're going to be in hot water with the cellular carriers. It's by far the lesser of two evils to just shut down accounts that send spam.
No, what's staggering is the number of my family members that simply cannot use their computer because it's bogged down by an AV. Also, your analogy is completely wack.
RSS is built for notification. You can get notifications of new rich-text content, videos, whatever. But notifications when you choose to get them, rather than push notifications. (If I got a push notification to my phone for every RSS article I read I'd go nuts.)

These services tend not to last very long in my experience.

After spending $50 on the hardware, you're lucky to get 2 months service. For that price, you might as well just buy Netflix.
Lots of remote friendly companies will simply exclude NYC like many exclude Colorado for similar reason now.
> Unfortunely the new generation seems not to have any issue with Android Java being Google's J++.

Perhaps that's because it is not? Google aren't adding packages to the java.* namespace, and the language is 100% compatible with Oracle's compiler. Only the bytecode format and runtime are different, but that's no worse than how J2ME was, with SonyEricsson/Samsung/$OEM having their own custom packages (which Sun/Oracle approved of.)

edit: preempting another argument: limiting support to an old version of software/language spec is not a crime, though I'd be happy if Apple could be compelled to update the GPL software they bundle to the latest version (:
There are several salary study firms (some old school like Radford, some new like levels) and the answer you can buy from them depends on the question you ask.

If you want an answer to “what’s the median base salary for SWEs in the US?”, they can sell you the answer. If you want to know “what’s the P75 SWE salary?” or “what’s the P90 SWE salary?” or “what’s the P75 SWE total comp in the cohort of these 12 top employers of SWEs?” those are all also available, but numerically quite different from each other.

You could call any of them a “market reference point” with a straight face.
Eliza was modeled after Rogerian styled psychology, it uses an almost Socratic method to illicit and draw out responses from users.
This is very similar to documentary series today on streaming services. There's not a whole lot of story to fill 4-5 episodes, but they need to pad it, so they have meandering narratives and asides that don't really add to the overall story but give the viewer just enough "hooks" to keep going.

In some ways, this is not too dissimilar to articles on the web where articles that could be very short are padded out with extra paragraphs to help with SEO, though in this case the "searcher" is the reader looking for long, meaty articles.
When I say that I am not joking. AV software is worse than useless at its best.
Absolutely true, although it's not as bad as it once was. And if you can manage to choose well (i.e. by earning stock at multiple companies, some of which go on to IPO), it's possible that equity can (more than) make up for it, but it's definitely a bumpier ride. One has to choose where to invest their labor like a VC chooses where to invest their cash, and to build a portfolio over years.

The other alternative is to be a founder, but not everyone is up for that.

For real. This is a subject that I find immensely fascinating and endlessly exciting. It's massive and we're barely starting to figure out that there's a surface we can even scratch (even though some segments of study have been shouting about it for some time, even if they've been a bit inaccurate or clumsy about it).

The more I learn, the less I seem to know.

> They could do a better job of separating the two.

When support is purely viewed as a cost, then this will never happen. 99% plus of your call volume may be for the obvious things. If you offer two options all of those people are going to be more confused than they already are and you will have some of them engaged by costly humans.

> Unfortunately it seems call centres are driven by very traditional metrics which wouldnt lead anybody to set up a system like this.

You are getting to the higher level point here. Costs need to be minimized so you go with the cheapest vendor available and then try to squeeze everything you can out of that. If you can send someone to an AI, again, after you've put them in the direct of a human, there is the possibility of deflecting further cost. Depending on the scenario these cost savings can rack up for both the company and the support vendor. All the time, the humans doing the support or creating the solutions forming the basis of the AI get treated pretty poorly.

Support at a particular scale will start to skew this way unless there are strong forcing functions in the organization. For example, sales need to be able able to sell support which needs to be backed up by solid people, and keep getting renewed. If you offer predominantly free support then you don't have much wiggle room. When PMs and devs only focus on new features and not fixing real issues raised by customers, or more importantly in many ways, proactively identified by support people, then you lose support people and make toil for those remaining.

Lastly, recognizing support people as an asset, will result in better behaviors and attracting more talent. Many times companies struggle badly with this and then decide to just outsource it. Promoting people from support into sales or deeper tech roles over the long-temr can also be pretty cost effective versus hiring outside. Many folks on HN will have done support at one point and felt they could have contributed much more in other roles.

Okay, let's be open minded for a second and look inside.

>> The catalyst for the crisis today in Ukraine was the 2014 coup. That coup was set up and supported by the US.

Yes, yes, CIA agents orchestrating the coup. A lot of my friends are still waiting for Obama to pay them for their services...

Next 2 paragraph present "proofs": some "intercepted" call discussing future Ukrainian government between Nuland and Pyatt and statement that "Nuland then pressured security forces to stop guarding government buildings and allow the coup protesters in" without further explanation. Mrs. Nuland seems to be a real-life Wonder Woman by single-handedly ordering Ukrainian police and internal forces to just stand down. Can she use some of her superpowers to also order dismissal of Russian troops build up?

>> It was a defensive reaction to the oppression of Russian-speaking people on its borders.

Oppression? As a Russian-speaking person in Ukraine I don't feel oppressed now and didn't feel oppressed back then. That statement is a Russian propaganda trope.

>> Contrary to the portrayal in the media of a people desperate to escape Russian and to run into the arms of NATO, Volodymyr Ishchenko, research associate at the Institute of East European Studies, Freie Universität Berlin, reports that "Ukrainians are far from unified in support of NATO membership."

Oh, self-described marxist that "supports neither side of conflict" is a great neutral source of information /s

In reality here is actual sociological data https://razumkov.org.ua/uploads/article/2021-nato-ukr.pdf (to save you the click: 53,6% support NATO membership, 31,0% opposes and 15,2% are still undecided).

Besides that the linked article is full of manipulations and outright bullshit. Please don't post your propaganda here. Thanks!
It seems like the government issuing their own currency still isn’t really the issue in this thought experiment…
Or, more likely, watches.
I think even those on the interviewer side acknowledge that leetcode style questions aren't perfect. I think the biggest misconception is the idea that memorizing the puzzle itself is the hiring criteria, when in reality it's supposed to be thought of as a more elaborate version of fizz buzz. For example, inverting a binary tree isn't about binary trees or data structures, it's more meant to be about whether you understand recursion. It can tie into signals about ability to break down problems into smaller pieces, understanding of memory layout (a proxy for understanding of low level concerns), etc.

Ideally one should not need to check an entire barrage of checkboxes perfectly, but enough in some dimension to "prove" they aren't completely clueless about programming, and also not raise a bunch of red flags (e.g. if you tell me you have 10 years Java experience and then struggle with class syntax, that's obviously going to look bad).

Ideally there are peripheral questions where one gets the opportunity to display well-roundedness (I like to ask about testing in an open ended fashion, for example).

Ideally, an interviewer org ought to take a bit of effort to cater questions to roles/stacks more appropriately. Web folks tends to do this well IME.

Unfortunately, many interviewers take coding/algo sessions as an opportunity to do a pissing contest either because they haven't been trained/prepared well or because of some dumb sense that company brand is somehow related to their personal worth or whatever, hence the bad rep.
There also a growing list of states that prohibit asking for salary history. Don’t ever give a salary history if asked. Only share if it is going to help in your negotiation. Advise everyone you know who is job seeking to do the same.

This is a very dangerous question to ask because it locks in previous pay discrimination based on protected categories.
Until verified, a rumor is just something that needs to be examined. People can lie also about their coworkers if there is a possible advantage on doing it.
I don't know how well Julia works with other IDEs to be honest. Much of the hard work of VSCode's extension is editor-agnostic, e.g. the LSP, the type checker and the linter - but whether someone has actually implemented a Vim plugin using these, I don't know.
Is this really the case? Inflation favors debtors over creditors, the upper class tends to be the latter not the former. While it is the case that the value of savings goes down, the lower class are much less likely to save.

In many spiritual practices as well, the mind is a parasite on the body (good and bad stuff equally count).
So much of the discussion around homelessness these days essentially boils down to "How can we move these people to a place where we don't have to look at them" instead of "How do we build a society where homelessness doesn't happen in the first place."

So many people also try to lay the blame at the feet of the victims here, but drug abuse, mental health problems, etc. are not the cause of homelessness, but rather symptoms of a broader societal pathology of which homelessness is just another symptom.

As long as things keep going the way they're going, where wealth and power are increasingly concentrating in fewer and fewer hands, we're just going to see more and more homelessness, especially with the financialization of housing that's current ongoing at a disturbing and accelerating rate.
so the answer is to stay locked down and screw over small businesses and tons of workers every winter because a subset of people have harsher symptoms?
If I wouldn't consider moving for anything less than $250K/yr, I’d consider the first one and not the second one.

I'm not sure I'd trust a company who thought that software engineer value creation only varied by a maximum of 20% either. Tight ranges cut against companies differently than broad ranges.
Yes, and I have replied we are not trying to make Elixir the new AI language either.

> The reality is that no such projection is plausible.

It's getting increasingly difficult. The world of 1600 would be easily understandable to someone from 1500 or 1400. When I was born, no human eyes had seen the far side of the Moon (although it was reasonably sure someone would, shortly, as happened in december that year) and the closest thing to a cellphone was a prop being used by Captain Kirk on the 23rd century.

> the world of technology will increase at an exponential rate

There are physical limits to that, so the exponential factor may be reduced for a while. There is also a limit on how fast we can develop new things that will give us a hard time (at least until we develop a general enough AI, at which point all bets are off - because we are literally not smart enough to predict what happens next).

BTW, a couple years ago I had an accident that, if it happened in 1900, I'd lose my leg.

So, yeah, 2022 is good for me, but I wouldn't turn down a chance to last until 2122.

She needs to stop being afraid of fear.

This is the basis for all anxiety disorders. Fear of fear. You get into loop where you're literally scared of fear itself.

The solution is simple, death is scary. So what?

She will need to force herself to sit with that fear and become indifferent about it or even learn to like it in some way if possible. Similar to exposure with phobic people, or ignoring behaviors with OCD.

I'd recommend reading Claire Weeks Hope and Help for Your Nerves.

Also, I'd recommend not playing this game of convincing her she won't die. She's probably habituated some sort of compulsive behavior of trying to release the fear by asking you to sooth it (pretty similar to OCD handwashing when you think about it). You're only reinforcing her behavior.
> He also heavily criticized the code base while the same time wasn’t able to produce anything meaningful.

This is more a rite of passage for everyone to do at least once in their career rather than an immediate red flag. But yea...
Curious what you see in the near future for the city. I've visited friends in PDX annually for years, but last year I didn't feel safe and this year am avoiding it altogether. Even going so far as to avoid freeway routes where I might risk a carjacking or rock throwers.
So forget about paying an old guy more for experience that provides more value than anticipated when job is posted? Also that high school dropout that I will have to train for a year before she is of any use? Hard pass, since I committed to a certain salary I might as well keep looking for my money's worth.
You seem to be confusing a stick with mechanical linkage. Airbus aircraft don't have mechanical linkage; there is no "direct control of aircraft control surfaces." Even in the degraded modes, you're still going through the computers. Apollo and Shuttle didn't have mechanical linkage either. So the "direct control" you're describing isn't actually direct; it's mediated by the avionics, just like Dragon.

Even without mechanical linkage, a stick makes sense in an aircraft because its surfaces and powerplants have continuous ranges. But Dragon's propulsion doesn't--it makes discrete pulses. A continuous control in Dragon wouldn't actually be able to provide output over a continuous range.

The pace of operations in space is also much, much slower than it is in the air. These aren't ace top guns doing split-second maneuvers with lightning reflexes. They aren't even airline pilots switching off the autopilot at 100' AGL. Docking is slow. Don't let the orbital velocities or the excitement of launch and reentry fool you--spaceflight is much more like sailing than it is like aviation.

In any case, the proof is in the pudding: Dragon crews train for manual docking on the (real) simulator, and it works.
I stopped to read article after first headline "The NATO Promise", because it's very popular hoax narrative shared by eastern propaganda.

Laws (in my opinion) are a lot harder to get right than they are to get wrong. Laws are also (IMO) quite sticky in that once they are passed, they are difficult to modify and or adjust. It takes a strong political will to pass any federal law and once that political capital is spent, adjustments can be unpopular.

People may disagree, but I think that the distinction and separation of state/local/federal law is great. one size often does not fit all and having different methods of laws experimented with and seen "in production" is useful despite downsides and the inherent difficulty in having 50 states have a different policy on something.
NoSQL Databases Are the Problem, Not the Solution
> The market is very good at empirically validating research.

The market can do this, if it’s correctly incentivized to do so.

More often than not, the incentives just aren’t there or are compelling enough.

Often it’s other businesses that put up such disincentives.
yeah this sounds like kind of a fun problem tbh

> There have been lots of technology x replacing a manual process with the promise that "now instead of doing y, the person is now free to explore more leisurely pursuits."

Yeah, the "free to explore more leisurely pursuits" part is contrived in most cases, but there is a real argument for automating work that's "dirty, dangerous, or dull" -- freeing humans to do the parts of the work that's more interesting, meaningful, safer, cleaner, etc.

In all of those cases, there was no protection of the law, so I'm very confused as to how you think your examples support your point.

You're pointing to cases where hatred led to organized violence against minorities. I'm saying that upholding the principle of non-violence, and thereby establishing a free society, is an active defense against the kind of coordinated violence you reference.

A free society doesn't eliminate hatred. It stamps out aggression, so that hatred cannot be channeled to destructive purposes.
