Most software engineering work is far from Nobel prizes work, or even research. In an organization, more than 50% of the workers are basically intellectual assembly line workers. In the remaining people, a few will specialize on each technology, a few will specialize on company-specific stuff, a few on the build system, a few on talking with marketing/business. But the majority of people are doing a medium-intensity job that doesn't require much creativity or genuis.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with that or those people. But this means that your output will be a function of your experience and energy. When you're older and inexperienced, you're compared against people that have the same experience but (statistically) more energy. Thus it is the logical choice to prioritize the younger people.

If you're older, you either have to have something new grads don't, or the supply has to be so limited that they're ready to take you too. If you don't have an answer to "why should we hire you over a young graduate?", this means that you don't understand the basis of the business, which is a heavy red flag for an employer.
Because paying older people what they are worth is not financially sustainable for most companies, unless youre a big tech company, etc. It’s not really ageism, it’s just about money, like everything is.
But it does play a part if the jurors lack critical context.
If no one on the jury can understand how a victim of sexual assault could be frozen during an attack, they might fall into the trap of thinking things like "how could it have been rape if she never said 'no'?" or alternatively, they could cling to some things like a male victim being aroused and assume that means the act was consensual.
One could argue that this could simply be explained by the prosecution via expert witness - but I think we all know the Dunning-Kruger effect well enough by now to understand how that won't work in all cases.

I don't know if we should (or even can) aim to have a victim included on any set of jurors, but removing them altogether seems like a very bad strategy.
Its still the case that if you are an OEM vendor, you need to make sure your hardware plays nice with the new versions of Windows. You better "cooperate".

Its difficult to describe all the behaviors they were engaged in.

"...The Complaint alleges that Microsoft has used its monopoly power to induce PC manufacturers to enter into anticompetitive, long-term licenses under which they must pay Microsoft not only when they sell PCs containing Microsoft's operating systems, but also when they sell PCs containing non-Microsoft operating systems..."
https://www.justice.gov/atr/competitive-impact-statement-us-...

As a reminder...They lost their case "United States v. Microsoft Corp." and June 7, 2000, the court ordered a breakup of Microsoft. They would have to be broken into two separate units, one to produce the operating system, and one to produce other software components. This was overturned on appeal on what can be only described as technicalities...

The Judge said: "...Microsoft proved, time and time again, to be inaccurate, misleading, evasive, and transparently false. ... Microsoft is a company with an institutional disdain for both the truth and for rules of law that lesser entities must respect. It is also a company whose senior management is not averse to offering specious testimony to support spurious defenses to claims of its wrongdoing."

Politics changes in the US and the power of lobbying made everything to end up in a settlement that for most Microsoft has been ignoring or forgetting about.That is how much it took to make them open "some" API's

> I know that open source and Linux in general don't need/want another DE

Unpopular opinion, but more DEs is fine and good, especially if they will have teams that are either (a) large or (b) well-funded. Plasma and GNOME are very good, and Unity was actually great to use in its heyday.

Imo what we don't really need more of are the conservative, under-resourced 'classic look and feel' DEs like most of the minor players in the space. Those tend to end up incomplete and ill-performing, and there are already lots of them. I hope the existing ones thrive, but I don't think having more f them would do much good.

But anything as good as the big two, but with a different focus? Let's see it!
Hypersonic missiles (and possibly anti-ship ballistic missiles) are making surface ships like this obsolete, similar to how carriers made battleships obsolete in WWII.

Hypersonic missiles, submarines, and satellites (sensors, C&C, directed energy weapons, EMP, rods from god, etc) I think will be the critical force components of this century. If any war breaks out, those components working in concert will take out surface ships and stationary bases first.

The US Navy has a history of being slow to recognize and adapt to these inflection points. Prior to WWII a few forward-looking admirals were warning about, and demonstrating the efficacy and game-changing nature of, carrier warfare. At least one wargame ~10yrs prior to WWII showed Pearl Harbor was vulnerable to a simulated carrier-based attack. But Navy leadership wasn't convinced until actual Pearl Harbor.

Part of the problem is that to maintain the ability to manufacture mega-projects like aircraft carriers, at least one needs to always be in production. Once you repurpose those production lines, it's difficult to restart them.

But I hope they start figuring this out soon, and planning to fight the next war, not the last one, or the US won't have enough credible deterrent to prevent another war.

Putting aside why the OP would get worked up about someone sharing a journal article on social media...

I agree its important for public health organizations to be consistent in their messaging. It creates a lot of confusion if they are sending mixed messages about the pros/cons of vaccines, especially if there is some urgency. Where I am, there is information provided about the type and relative frequency of reactions, but it's not the main message and that makes sense.

For governments that are forcing people to be vaccinated (either directly or de-facto through restrictions on what you can otherwise do), it's purely a political thing. How could they admit that the thing they are forcing on you could cause reaction, even if it's rare. So they pretend that anyone who talks about it is a threat to society and whip up anger against them.

People are regularly willing to voluntarily take medicine with higher risks (birth control, travel vaccines, etc) and generally would make the same choice faced with covid. But take the choice away and the government has to carefully control the message about it (plus the whole opportunity to create division and an out-group to improve their political footing)
Not really. For countries trying to deter the US, yes; it provides a measure of concern. For the US, hypersonics give faster strike times. If you can decrease the interval between target detection and strike, you make it more difficult for your opponents. The US will use hypersonics in anti ship roles (though it's arguable that the SM6 already provides this), but more importantly, hypersonics will fulfill the desire for Global Strike.
I assume defendants are getting expert advice from attorneys when they make this decision. They should theoretically know way more about this than you or I.
The situation is symmetric if there's just a getter and a setter for a state variable, but perhaps sometimes temperature() does a measurement and there's no way to set it because it isn't a controllable quantity (for a thermostat I can set my desired temperature but it will take time for the room to warm or cool to that temperature).
Yeah, it's pretty amazing. Doing this in a controlled fashion is the hard part; a largish wooden building on fire can also dissipate 10 GW.

A .22 LR rifle bullet might acquire 200 J in 2 ms, which means the firing gun is producing 100 kW mechanical, plus probably another 300 kW thermal. So another way of thinking of this is that an engine dissipating 10 GW is equivalent to something like 25000 handguns firing at once, without ever stopping.
The cones in your eye are essentially the same as the color filters, they respond to certain wavelengths and not others. It is the neurons in our brains that interpret what those signals mean, as the person in the room does. It is doubtful that any single neuron has an experience of color as we would, and neither would the cone, but in aggregate the system does. There is no component that you can point to and say "that's the part that experiences the color", the same way as you can't for the room. It is only our intuition that 'inanimate objects' aren't conscious (and that people are!) that makes your's and Searle's arguments appear reasonable.

If anything it would make it worse. For those who are making a little over ends meet, a small percentage loss could put them under the threshold, whereas those with far more than they need can afford to lose a larger portion of their wealth.

More fundamentally, the purpose of such measures is explicitly to discourage the bringing of suits - anything big enough to be a viable deterrent to bad faith actors will inevitably also be big enough to deter good faith actors.
Weirdly, but sometimes ideas churn around HN, I just replied to another thread about this. See my reply on this thread https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29917060

At BitFlash, one of the things we had to build was a SAX parser for the SVG DOM. I used the DSL of the W3C spec to compile the SAX parser.

One of the more strange things I did was in some contexts (think old school Blackberry) we had a server to pre-parse the SVG so we "knew" it was clean (I'm still sceptical 20 years later this is ever a good strategy, but take it as a given). Because we knew the SVG was clean, there was a faster way to parse the XML than reading the tokens.

I used my magic Perl script transformer to compute the lowest entropy decision tree to identify a token with the fewest comparisons, which was surprisingly way more efficient than a trie.
> I suspect their primary advantage remains shelf-stability at room temperatures, which will make them stay relevant for military applications

I while ago I read--but barely understood--a book that went into a lot of this: "Ignition! An Informal History of Liquid Rocket Propellants" by John D. Clark.

_____________________

IIRC there were some cases where a fuel was not militarily-acceptable because you would need to warm/thaw the mobile missile prior to firing in a Russian winter, or other cases where a permanent missile-silo meant it was cost-effective to run heating/refrigeration all the time, etc.

> [I]n applications which do not require a low freezing point, hydrazine itself is fused, either straight or mixed with one of its derivatives. The fuel of the Titan II ICBM doesn't have to have a low freezing point, since Titan II lives in a steam-heated hole in the ground, but it does need the highest possible performance, and hydrazine was the first candidate for the job.

_____________________

Another fuel-choice issue involves how badly it might self-destruct if anything unusual happened:

> [I]n the summer of 1960, we tried to fire a 10,000-pound thrust Cavea B motor. [...] Well, through a combination of this and that, the motor blew on startup. We never discovered whether or not the [detonation] traps worked—we
couldn't find enough fragments to find out.

> The fragments from the injector just short-circuited the traps, smashed into the tank, and set off the 200 pounds of propellant in that. (Each pound of propellant had more available energy than two pounds of TNT.) I never saw
such a mess. The walls of the test cell—two feet of concrete—went out, and the roof came in. The motor itself—a heavy, workhorse job of solid copper— went about 600 feet down range. And a six-foot square of armor plate sailed into the woods, cutting off a few trees at the root, smashing a granite boulder, bouncing into the air and slicing off a few
treetops, and finally coming to rest some 1400 feet from where it started. The woods looked as though a stampeding herd of wild elephants had been through.

> As may be imagined, this incident tended to give monopropellants something of a bad name. Even if you could fire them safely—and we soon saw what had gone wrong with the ignition process—how could you use them in the field?

> Here you have a rocket set up on the launching stand, under battlefield conditions; and what happens if it gets hit by a piece of shrapnel? LRPL came up with the answer to that. You keep your monoprop in the missile in two compartments: one full of fuel-rich propellant made up to A. = 2.2 or 2.4, and the other containing enough acid to dilute it to X = 1.2. Just before you fire, a can-opener arrangement inside the missile slits open the barrier separating the two liquids, you allow a few seconds for them to mix,
and then push the button.

Streamers as well as web cam models _aren't_ allowed to play random music, they just do.

The only time it's allowed is when they have the appropriate licenses. (sync license under DMCA for music synchronized to live streams)

Streamers were doing this without repercussion 5 years ago because the streaming industry wasn't large enough for the music industry to care about. That changed about two years ago.

The same holds for cam models, it's just that they're not getting claims for whatever reason. Maybe the music industry just isn't that focused on live pornography?

You're assuming that trauma is a matter of "framing", but it's at least as much a long-term consequence of the acute stress reaction that's directly connected to the event. I think it's possible that you experienced somewhat limited trauma, but others are not nearly as lucky.
Classic supply and demand. The price is set based on the market and the demand if these were created in any type of quantity they'd cost very little ... obviously. Essentially like any expensive machine these are custom machines for a very limited and particular purpose. The rental is a strategy that makes sense (to extract the most revenue) after all tech moves on and there is no reason to have a camera for another film when something better will most likely exist.

If you’re in the US, that first interview question is illegal and you should talk to a lawyer.
It is about power, and in the US African-American and women (and LGBTQ and others) are widely discriminated against, and thus widely lack power. White people are much safer around police because they have power in the legal system (generally speaking about the entire country); they can protect themselves. An African-American teenager complaining about police abuse isn't likely to get far. Women complaining about sexual assault or harassment are routinely dismissed - literally, as a politically correct (by their politics) practice of some males I know.

The parent reads like the ever-present 'reverse discrimination' complaint, but it's not the same. Discrimination and prejudice are about power. If the abuser doesn't have the power, they are a lot less dangerous.

This is gravely concerning, and makes me wonder if China and Russia are covertly coordinating behind the scenes to intentionally destabilize the US/UK trans-Atlantic alliance. We’re dealing with people, especially in China’s case, who are used to thinking in terms of generations, being patient and focused enough to see things through in such timelines. And with the obvious similar goals of each (authoritarianism, human rights = lol, total information control, etc.) with respect to their apparent global expansionist aspirations, it would make a lot of sense to play covert offensive one on one, especially with the opponent each knows best (history: UK/China, US/USSR).

The only reason they do this is because as it stands now, the multinational alliances among the free nations of the world would very likely emerge victorious from such a war (eventually), though the body count would dwarf our worst nightmares. But if you break up that alliance, if you have each major anchor in that brotherhood so busy jumping at shadows and tearing themselves apart over disinformation that they can’t field a full commitment to victory, well you’ve practically won already.

I hate the idea of war with either of those countries, let alone both. But this just keeps escalating and we seem to be too scared to do anything about it. If we don’t act soon, and with strong enough force to literally put the fear of God in them, I’m very concerned that we’ll have lost any chance for eventual victory completely.

The liberty of generations yet to be rests upon the strength of our convictions. How much further are we going to let them push us before we push back?

having more control or total control over open source software? Creating moats that make it harder for the average developer to contribute to the ecosystem seems like a power grab.

On the surface it is a positive with benefits for the user but longterm it could be the death of open source.

Everytime a large corporate or two takes over a space no matter what they never give them back to them. This is turning open source over to existing powerful companies to control or kill.

> Our discussion here suggests that the reasons for the increase in nonparticipation are not strongly related to a weak economy or insufficient labor demand, but rather due to a change in individuals’ desire to supply labor in the market.

The most interesting tidbit from the article is that the data supports the very popular idea that people are withdrawing from the labor market as they just don’t want to work (for any reason eg low pay, hazardous conditions, etc)

We were both lucky enough to have well paying jobs, but so so many people don’t. Some of these people even with decent jobs will be paying $500-$1000/m for nearly the rest of their lives.

This reminds me of some research I've seen supporting this effect. I can't remember the exact study but basically a large factory shut down putting a lot of people out of work, who were then offered free schooling to learn a new trade. After some number of years they looked back on those individuals and the ones who took the free training had actually done worse on average than the ones who had turned it down.

The effect seemed to be just what you're describing. Even though most of the non-schooling group got worse jobs to start, they had several years of lead time to build experience and get pay raises which ended up being more valuable than the certificate or degree the other group got.
