> Zoom would just languish as their 2020s Skype.

I wonder what was so wrong with Skype that many abandoned it? Now, i've been told that the enterprise variety is a different product that's way worse, but i use the regular Skype occasionally and it's okay.

Personally, i think that it was best before its many redesigns (e.g. the versions that you could get from sites like http://www.oldversion.com/windows/skype/ at least when they worked), but even nowadays it remains usable and does most of what i'd like for the basic use cases from a chat application, or even for video calls or group calls.

Then again, in my eyes many of these platforms are just reinventions of IRC in some capacity, with the occasional nice feature (e.g. Slack/Discord/... having threads, deep API integration with bots/apps etc.) that gets tacked on.

Depends. SKU count is lower for sure. Wire count is less too. And in Tesla's case (Model S) where there is no real dashboard with a speedometer at all - it really would make a difference.

Didn't found how much Tesla pays for it's screen, but at $300 and even $500 I wouldn't be surprised if it would be still cheaper.

How about giving the institutions very top-level goals, on say 20 or 50-year basis, and then just give them a bag of money?

Research is a high stakes, high rewards type of game. You need to pursue many potential ways forward, and most likely only one will win.

Rewarding short term wins makes academia no different from industry, and prevents finding anything but the local maxima.
> Perhaps depositing a VM with everything ready to run.

The danger then is that the VM has so much undocumented complexity that if anything goes wrong, or goes "well" when it shouldn't, no one can explain why. Which also reintroduces a vector to hide nasty tricks.

... which plays into a stereotype about Asian women, and Japanese women in particular whether you were generalizing or NOT. You conveniently slap a label on 2 girls you met for a few hours and came to ridiculous conclusions because YOU don't understand Japanese culture. Instead of pausing for a second to think about this, you want to double down on a sloppy inaccurate generalization regarding two girls that conveniently fits into the stereotype about ALL Asian women and pat yourself on the shoulder for not getting it, at all, then polish it off by suggesting I'M the naive one.

There is a lot less fakery in science than poorly-designed studies, misleading endpoints, underdocumented or incorrectly documented methods, and cargo-culting. The success of the process comes from having a good filtration process to sift through this body of work, and the idea that there will always be some people in the system doing actually good work.

That said, I have also witnessed plenty of low-level fraud: changing of dates to match documentation, discarding "outlier" samples without justification or even documentation, etc. Definitely enough to totally invalidate a result in some cases.
> These are positions where in order for the game to move "forward" both sides would need to individually choose to weaken their position, leaving them playing non-moves until triggering threefold repetition or agreeing to a draw.

Sure, but there's also a whole lot of draws where insufficient material is inevitable. E.g. pawn vs nothing, where the king cannot reach the pawn to defend.

And there's also draws where the only move "forward" doesn't weaken the position, but lead towards an end of insufficient material. E.g. most situations pawn vs. bishop.

- "no evidence of radioactive contamination"

There's a pattern underlying the claim:

The reasons why the modern productivity suite is winning (Notion, Coda, Airtable, etc) is because they've embraced the web and collaboration.

- ability to share the original source to people

- tag people right inside the document.

- set tasks to people and track them from within the doc.

- new age collaboration features - likes/comments/hashtags built-in

- ability to tag a document within another document

All these are small steps towards embracing the web's nature deeply inside product instead of just shipping the native features to run over the web.

But there's a catch, these modern solutions tend to lag a bit over the powerfulness of what native offers, like

- powerful charting capabilities

- the calculation engine of excel

- pagination of documents

- powerful set of formatting features

Interestingly it's much easier to build the new age features into the already powerful editor than vice versa - which is why google docs pivoted towards smart canvas features instead of launching an all new app.

> It's not just that the CDC and other institutions of scientific authority 'said something wrong once.' I think most people understand and accept that science is not perfect.

I disagree. I think a big part of the problem is people having unreasonable standards of accuracy or consistency. On COVID, the CDC was never going have everything perfectly figured out in the beginning, and then consistently repeat the same message from January 2020 to January 2022. There have been too many unknowns and too much of a need to act urgently before everything was figured out. To this day you still have people people justifying their distrust by saying things like "I though we just had to stay home for a few weeks to flatten the curve."

Also, there's an unreasonable expectation that messaging should be be all things to all people. If a message widely disseminated and understood, it needs to be simple and clear. However that will lose nuance, and some people will launch into distrust because the nuance they demand isn't there. The problem is those goals are contradictory, so someone's not going to get what they want.

> Instead, those institutions have shown that they are willing to publish nobel lies. Specifically, they are willing to bend the truth and publish false information if they believe it is in the best interest of society / greater good. Given an entity that has shown willingness to bend the truth 'for the good of society', isn't distrust and cynicism is rational?

I don't think distrust and cynicism is rational in that case. It would be if they "lied" [1] selfish reasons, but if you assess that their motives are pure, then descending into "distrust and cynicism" is throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

And frankly, if "noble lies" bother you, wait until you learn the kind of ignoble lies people start believing when they become distrustful and cynical.

Average day rate for a big consultancy is well over £1500 a day (https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/comparison-day-rates-between-...). Basically anybody you know who works for a semi-legit consultancy is being billed out at over £1000 a day.

Its super easy to get £1000-1500 as a freelancer who handles your own sales if you have the right credentials (degree, +5 years experience, do not completely suck at programming, specific domain experience, etc).

Silos (ie “launch facilities” (LFs)) themselves are uncrewed, except for maintenance. Launch control officers are stationed in an underground bunkers called “launch control centers” (LCCs), which are I think like 10 miles away. Each LCC controls 10 LFs.
Sounds like it, yes, but it is infinitely more flexible and iirc the general architecture also allows chaining, e.g., you can in a sense bind a parameter of a system call to the result of another to-be-made system call. An example might be taking the length from one system call to another or a file descriptor number.

> What steps have you taken to reduce your wages towards the median?

The way to reign in employer exploitation is by improving the bargaining position and political power of workers (via laws and unions). Taking a voluntary pay cut is as effective as voluntarily paying a higher tax rate if you believe taxes are too low.

Here's an example of how to improve working conditions - see if it includes any workers taking a voluntary pay cut to reduce inequality: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28603398
Not criticizing at all. The R720s are still excellent servers. You can add a different RAID/HBA controller into an R720, flash LSI firmware onto the one you've got, or just put a bit more effort into ensuring you buy compatible drives. SAS SSDs just a few years old didn't even have TRIM, for example.

On a more serious note: i doubt that they are alone in pushing for marketing and sales, since most large corporations do that: some are just better at not being very obvious at doing that. They are still a ways away from the likes of Oracle, though, at least in my experience.

I wouldn't (always) call doing sales effectively in a corporate environment bribery, though, that's a bit much. Now, personally i'd opt for libre software, be it a database or an operating system, but i understand that for many settings that's a non starter and oftentimes the larger entities will be willing to pay for support and also licensing.
This is worrying really. Back when I used to work as an engineer consuming parts it wasn’t unusual for some parts to disappear entirely with no notice. This usually turned out to be some legacy piece of equipment that broke at the manufacturer for which there was no replacement. There was no replacement because the whole manufacturer had been limping along with 1980s equipment.

One of the parts was devastatingly expensive to substitute. It was a very low noise JFET which was being used as a high impedance amplifier buffer. We had to evaluate ten different parts from other manufacturers then hand select a suitable part with the right curve and noise figure parameters.

To get 10 usable parts meant we had to buy 10,000 parts in, buy $40k worth of kit (HP FTW) and spend a month doing it. The BOM cost went to $6000 a FET from $50. Fortunately being in defence sector they just burned the cash while we redesigned the entire front end of the device which took months of qualification and test.

Automating this test process actually started my software career.

Edit: also I’ve got to stab Six Sigma and other process methodologies in the face here. They pushed elimination of waste and metrics that drove that to the front of business success. This meant eventually relying entirely on just in time manufacturing and supply chains. Coming from a defence background this was a disaster from the old days of buying in stock for the entire lifetime of the devices in the field.
The answer is no. Car companies are doing no electronic designs. They are done by dozen layers of subcontractors like Bosch, Valeo or Continental or myriad others. Car companies depend heavily on them.

Wait until electronic license plates using eInk roll out and update automatically. First they'll just change if you haven't paid your registration, then later if your insurance lapses, or maybe it'll light up with yellow LEDs when there's a kidnapping. It'll be integrated into Fast Pass toll-payment systems, why not? And over the next decade, as the taxes from gasoline disappear, the plates will have integrated travel tracking so you automatically pay $0.02 per mile road usage taxes. It'll be the most fair way to pay for the roads.

Yep, this is all coming. First, they'll be add-on plates, but then they'll be integrated into all new cars. Personal transportation is going to look completely different by the end of the century, anyways. Worrying about the number of knobs on your dashboard is like worrying about the color of your horse's blinders or whether your cart's wheels were made out of oak or cedar.
Leadership is about managing risk, so that is a hard disagreement from me. Any good leader, especially a tech lead, needs to be able to both define the path and execute the path.

You are right, I didn't even get involved in the corruption argument. If you think I said something about it, I didn't. It's not interesting to me. You say it's well reasoned but I have no opinion it. The commenter is probably right about corruption and bureaucracies. I was talking about Microsoft. There isn't any corruption of that sort at Microsoft. Maybe in India, I don't know. I was comparing them as organizations that are bureaucratic in nature. I find it interesting that some people like that kind of system and create it, because I don't. To me it seems stifling of creativity and discovery.

> Either we subsidize farmers and pay more in taxes or we impose tariffs to level the playing field.

Both of these don't level the playing field, they distort the playing field.

>As soon as the US industry is destroyed, the other countries remove subsidies and prices rise and we can do nothing about it.

Arguably it is subsidies that destroy farming industry, not the reverse. Farming can tolerate a lot more inefficiencies, bad practices, poor resource allocation and unreasonable crop selection when subsidies influence the market. This could be see India for example in the 70s where textile subsidies meant many people were working in sweatshops weaving with hand operated machines instead of maintaining well capitalized fully mechanized looms. Eliminating these subsidies gradually will allow farmers to develop techniques that make them more competitive on the international stage if these other countries "remove subsidies" (which is your prediction).
