I’m such a fan of Dave Eggers. I can’t say I’ve read everything he’s published, but I can say I hang on every word of his I read.

He’s quite right that the thrill of flight has left our collective imagination, but he didn’t go on to speculate as to why that is. I suspect if drugs, traversing the tubes, or some combination of them can provide enough thrill from an arm chair, perhaps there is nothing incrementally gained by leaving the ground. Perhaps we are content to have drones as a proxy. Or maybe the cost and carnage factors haven’t come within reason.

In any case, this woke something up in me, as Dave usually manages to do.
The document distinguishes between enterprise-facing and public-facing systems. For enterprise-facing (government employees, contractors, etc.), it's talking about discontinuing use of TOTP. For public-facing systems, it doesn't impose any restrictions, since (as you're saying) the general public really needs options.
Yes it is more complicated. Here's two reasons. Glucose only gets converted to fat and harmful proteins at about 1:4 rate, whereas ethanol, fructose, and sucrose get converted to fat and harmful proteins at double or more that rate. So mere "counting calories" is meaningless.

Secondly, and this is the one that people find weird, once you've weighed X pounds, and lost some significant mass, you must eat less calories than simple "calories in is calories out" would suggest, because our physiology reacts as if food is scarce, and will store fat to the detriment of all other functions.

an arcade is an entertainment venue. entertainment venues (along with bars, restaurants) are required to check vax cards (i believe that’s a WA requirement, as opposed to a local requirement). i was being approximate when i said “a year”: more precisely i think the vax card mandate was sometime in June? July? a few months after the vaccines themselves had widespread availability.
Assuming that the average person in this thread "enjoys Apple products," holding back on the M1 is a reasonable piece of advice. If you're not an Apple fan, then now is definitely not the time to dip your toes in.

This experience has done nothing but prove my previously unsubstantiated beliefs. I am pushing for Linux laptops at work.

what if you wanted to use linux with an nvidia card on a cpu that their driver does not support (e.g. risc)? That would presumably also fulfill the interoperability requirement, right?
Places with less / no mandates did not have measurably worse outcomes.

A meaningless statement without context. Places with different levels of mandates also tend to be disparate in terms of population density and demographics. A cherry-picked study showing that masks weren't needed to conserve hospital utilization in Bumfark, Oklahoma will tell us nothing about what to expect in crowded urban areas.

Then there's the easily-justified suspicion that officials in right-leaning areas are rigging the data they report ("Stop testing so much, it makes us look bad!")

These debates always seem to turn into perpetual playground games where duelling studies are whipped out like Magic cards. For every one you cite, I'll cite one that says something else. Consensus is the only way to make good decisions in such an epistemic environment. I'll continue to look to public health authorities for that, not bloggers, podcasters, politicians, celebrities, or HN commenters.
>>>> as soon as you end up having an institution with the power to do something for a large number of people, you'll have power and corruption
Honest question: What would lead you to this conclusion?

Honest answer : With respect, because that's real-life works.
Look around you. A senatorial campaigns will always amass millions in campaign contributions. The local comptroller candidate will be lucky to raise 100K.
The more people are impacted by a single individual, the more power that single individual has. The more power is as stake, the more corrupt attempts to usurp that power.

>>>>It sounds like you're saying you can't even trust yourself to resist corruption in a position of power,

No. It means that money will color all your decisions and edge cases will tend to resolve in a particular way because a decision favored by your moneyed supporters will be easier to justify.

Take for example a doctor treating a heart attack patients with prior has cold-like symptoms . The doctor is marking the cause of death. The doctor has seen many doctors get laid off due to pandemic. Waiting rooms are overcrowded with patients dying due to lack of doctors & COVID. There's no money coming in - the state has suspended the traditional hospital cash cow: elective surgery. The hospital medical director looks like a ghost, and has been urging staff to not forget to label patients with COVID-like symptoms as COVID-positive, to obtain government fund support.

The doctor is sure the patient didn't die of COVID. The doctor is not even sure the patient had COVID. But there's no time to check. There are no tests, ICU is packed, and he's worried about other patients needing medical attention, plus the doctor knows his assessment could be wrong. So he puts down cause of death: COVID.

Is the doctor corrupt ? No. The doctor is human.

So are politicians. (particularly unvirtuous humans at that, unlike doctors)
TSMC only makes one out of multiple components. I don't see how this is a counterpoint to his comment.
That was during a pretty inflationary time - and even after the Nuevo Peso stabilized people still preferred dollars.

Wow it’s down to 20 nuevos per dollar, I remember when it was 3.
The latter seems better to me.
> They go on and on in their "white papers" about the details of the token system, while saying nothing about how they plan to implement the supposed product.

Of all of the stuff in crypto that frustrates me, the absolute trashing of the term "white paper" takes the cake. This used to be a term for work that was not published in traditional academic outlets but nevertheless was of similar rigor and intellectual value. Now "whitepaper" means "Welcome to bongcoin, the best coin for ripping huge hits and buying lambos."
The linked article is a press release from GE, the engine manufacturer, and its headline says 'in one engine' clear as day.

Do you mean the HN headline? As far as I can see, that's the source of consternation.
For some reason, smokers seem to think that the world is their ashtray.
Doesn't sound weird at all. They all share a collectivist ideology, which requires some degree of authoritarianism to operate. It's the elevation of the state or the collective over the individual and they differ only in their degree and implementation.

Hayek's dedication in The Road to Serfdom is to "socialists of all parties". He does this purposely to demonstrate that centralized control comes in many forms, no matter what it may be called.
Unless they changed it, the headline on the page is:

"United Flies World’s First Passenger Flight On 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel Supplying One Of Its Engines"

And it's in the url too.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'm also planning on giving Lima a whirl, but that's tricky for the same reason I'm stuck with Apple (finance, MDM, the Apple privacy/encryption dominance).

Ask HN: Inclusive Hiring Practices
I have been in charge of hiring practices for a while now, but the CEO wants me to make them more inclusive. I don't think my previous practices were non-inclusive. But I do agree with the general idea. Currently we pre-screen candidates with a phone call and we do some basic problems like "Suppose you had an almost perfectly balanced binary tree with 1023 elements, how deep could it be at most?", etc.. Then we have an on-site and ask some background questions, do a bit of whiteboarding, and ask about some of their previous projects(or if they have none, then talk general tech and let them lead).

My thoughts are currently to remove the whiteboarding and replace it with a more free flowing problem solving session, give an example of a recent issue we have solved and ask their thoughts. I just don't have any great ideas about how this could be better. Most of our problems are getting pretty in the weeds with very specific technical issues, and ideally the problem solving being tested would be more general.

If anyone has any suggestions as to how to make hiring more inclusive without using whiteboarding, take-home assignments or things like that, I would be very happy to hear them.
I appreciate the criticism and tend to mostly agree. I do have much more knowledge than your average Joe on the topic (MPH plus worked full time/still part time on pandemic response for an international NGO) but I’m no expert. But nonetheless, my writing on COVID for them (much different than my writing I posted here) is presented to all of their donors/other international agencies.

I’m more focused on psychology/philosophy at the moment, and intend to stay in that arena for the most part.
I get this is a github pages, but isn't this just an ad? I went looking for content (I am a stats nerd and love Gelman's blog). Am I missing something on mobile?

My only issue with ZFS is it only works (ideally, with least effort) with multiples of the same size disks. I got into a bit of an argument on IRC with someone who said "just partition, ZFS can figure it out" and i'm thinking of all of the 128GB and 256GB SSDs, the 640GB spindles, and so on that i want to actually use for data, and it sounds like it'd be more hassle than it's worth. Something like "take everything on this 2TB drive, and put the .PAR/.Pnn archives on at least 2 other "filesystems", be they two 1TB or 2 128, a 256, a 512, and a 1TB.

Eventually i think i will start populating 2-4 sata drives on my 15-25W TDP celerons, atoms, and so on, and just give them away to people who need a computer for whatever. I'll even toss in a GTX 1050ti.

This is obviously not true, given that there was a wealth of text-based internet applications well before image-based options were widely available.

> * SSO integration on all internal apps.

> * An authenticating proxy

I'm having trouble understanding what the fundamental difference is between these. Is it just a matter of a single, centralized proxy at the perimeter of your service network versus in-service SSO? Is there a functional difference between being in the same process space versus a sidecar on the same host versus a service on another host?

Ultimately it boils down to trusting the authority, whether that's a function (code review), a shared library (BOM), an RPC (TLS), a sidecar (kernel), or a foreign service (mTLS). There are different strengths and weaknesses for each of these, but it's not clear to me that the options you would prefer are distinctly more or less secure -- maybe there is an argument for defense in depth, but I'm not certain that's what you're pitching.
Honestly, refusing to allow any duly elected official to be sworn into office and do their job as specified by law, whatever it is, is far more mountain than molehill regardless of the nature of the job or the qualifications of the person elected.

You are of course right that a CPA is a better choice for auditor than a non-accountant. But that's either an argument to the state legislature to change how the position is chosen (e.g. making it an appointment with professional qualification requirements) or an argument to the voters to elect a CPA (assuming one chooses to run). It's not an argument to flout the system as designed by duly elected legislators and illegitimately shove aside the candidate duly elected by the voters.
"But why, though?" I keep asking myself, from a "how many darn buttons and doodads does it really need to have?" perspective. I suspect the issue is that people write entirely too much dang code to solve what is, after all, a fairly simple UI problem [1]. I mean, seriously. The Alto had less than a megabyte of RAM and managed to invent the GUI--menus, mouse, all. How have we managed to make this harder in 40 years?

Excellent license, +1 for that!
I've spoken with enough lawyers at various companies to know that they will never touch this. Which might be the reason why it was licensed this way, but it also means I'm not going to touch it for my own project because the "modified terms" are so purposefully vague I can't guarantee that if I build something that becomes notable that they won't try to extract something from me with the obscure language in that second clause.
There's also a difference between difficulty and complexity.

edit : Also, what's the protocol/norm about posting the same reply in multiple threads? I can see some pros and cons to it being within standard behavior, and don't see a clear answer as to which is larger
The egui framework they mention is pretty neat:

https://emilk.github.io/egui/

It an entirely custom toolkit, so don't expect it to have a native look and feel, but it's a GPU-first design with multiple back-ends. It can be used in native OpenGL apps too. It's an immediate-mode UI, so it's very easy to build and update even complex windows. Great choice if you want to prototype a game.
It all kind of undermines your original comment tho that they're trying to avoid native. It seems more likely that they're goal is to reach as many devices as they can and be able to do updates frequently. In the first paragraph of the linked article the guy says the trade-off is between "updatability and performance".
Seems like a perfectly reasonable test to me?

This proves that an engine can run on this fuel at 100% concentration. The other engine is exactly the same, there's no reason that this result doesn't carry over to a flight with /both/ engines using this new fuel. This is just a safer test if there turned out to be problems with the experimental fuel.

The article mentions this in the very first paragraph, I don't think there's anything to complain about here.

I also don't think the headline is misleading either. The important thing being tested here is that the engine managed a flight with a 100% concentration of the new fuel, the other engine being a failsafe with known safe fuel doesn't make the outcome of the test any less useful.

Edit: the headline on the page mentions the second engine using legacy fuel, I'm not sure why the HN headline was modified.
Ask me again in 50 years. Or do the math.

I am not doubting your claim, but it makes me wary since all the "cheap" wallwarts that claimed "2.5A" and now "3A" ran about $10, whereas the official RPI wallwart is double that (maybe $18), and a really awesome 5V PSU that can run two rpi at full TDP costs between $35-$120.

I have a bunch of "QC3.0/3A Buck converters" for 6-36VDC to USB-A, maybe i should try to run a pi on a SLA Gel 12V battery.
Not sure why I cant reply to the below comment but:

1. Sugar and its substitutes are bad for you, yes thats true (Thank you FDA for recommending 10 servings of grains, and backing the lipid hypothesis which caused low fat (aka High Sugar) products to appear everywhere.

2. Unless the obese somehow violate the law of thermodynamics if you reduce energy in while maintaining energy out mass will decrease.
So land claims by the Chinese from 125 years ago are irrelevant, but land claims by Europeans from 1,500 years ago are?

Serious lack of consistency.
I think the major thing is that F# did not ignore the things that came before it, whereas Python did. While Python did come about in the early 90s, it had already ignored things like Lisp, Scheme, Smalltalk, Erlang, and Standard ML (SML). As it evolved into the 2000s and 2010s, it continued to ignore developments. Compare that to Clojure, Elixir, and F#, and there's a stark difference. All three of those languages were designed to be highly pragmatic and not academic, but they all three stood on the shoulders before them. If you read interviews with van Rossum, he shows a complete unwillingness to accept the functional programming paradigm as pragmatically useful and basically rejects it wholesale. In his Slashdot interview, he explicitly said "functools (which is a dumping ground for stuff I don't really care about :-)".

https://developers.slashdot.org/story/13/08/25/2115204/inter...

It's frustrating to me, because if Python had adopted at least some of the things that languages like SML then OCaml and then F# were doing, it would dramatically elevate it. At the time of the interview, in which he goes on to state "Admittedly I don't know much about the field besides Haskell", the year was 2013, and so at that point, F#, Clojure, OCaml had already been around for a while, Erlang had been released with a permissive license, and Elixir had actually been released the year before. Further, it's not like even before that that Haskell was the only functional language. SML, Scheme, and even Racket (then known as PLT Scheme) had been around for a while.

Python is a wolf in sheep's clothing to me. It has a deceptively simple look at at the surface, but it is actually a quite complicated language when you get into it. I've done concurrent programming my entire programming life in F#, Elixir, and LabVIEW. I simply do not understand how to do concurrency things in Python in a reliable and composable way (for one, there's several different implementations of "concurrent" programming in Python with various impedance mismatches and incompatibilities). I.e., it's complicated.
I also read somewhere that a good deal of his innovation was also in finding inks suitable for the process.

A lot of existing inks at the time where suitable for writing not pressing.

eHang was not the first, but they do seem to have good marketing.

German company Volocopter flew a manned demonstration rig in 2011 (the famous pilates ball [1]), and had the first manned flight of the Volocopter multicopter (certified, 18 rotors) in February 2016, with the CEO himself flying [2].

I don't know when the eHang 184 flew first (a video on youtube says Feb 2018 [3]). Personally, I find the design (with 8 rotors in a quadratic arrangement at knee-height, perfect for decapitating pedestrians) atrocious. (The Volocopter blades are above the cabin, as in a helicopter.)

And where do you get the 30 minutes endurance for the eHang from? When I divide the range by the cruise speed from Wikipedia, I get about 8 minutes endurance.

When you spread covid misinformation, you help people die earlier than they otherwise would.

The fact is, the vaccines reduce the transmission of covid. Likewise well-fitted quality masks. So when you opt out, or encourage others to do so, there's an incremental harm to other people. To the extent anyone reads and is persuaded by you comments, people are being harmed. Hopefully, no one is, but I see from the responses at least one dummy is encouraged. I wonder how you feel about that?

Nasm was news at a time when it would make sense to call an open source project the netwide something.

And yet, people are using Python on much more for things that never touch Numpy, Pandas, or machine learning libraries.

Also, Python isn't the only source for scientific computing. Although, I'm a bit frustrated Microsoft didn't see F# as a Python competitor early on and poured resources into it like they did with Visual Studio Code or TypeScript.
There are a few methods out there for synthesizing gasoline equivalents. This fuel: no (possibly in diesel engines, jet fuel has been used but there are issues).

Because it's not just buttons and doodads, it's all the error handling and loading indicators and UI edge cases that are needed to make it seamless and good. Title too long? Does it get truncated or shrunk? Does the UI reverse itself for RTL languages? Does the focus ring move in a sensible order?
