And the article provides evidence of that, cutting neighboring counties in Tennessee with similar vaccination rates where one had a 23% lower making rate, but similar spread. How can that be? Truly fascinating.

There's more to this than vaccination and masking rate. When we're talking about being indoors all day, one other variable in this is ventilation. For their part, the CDC does suggest considering improving ventilation in buildings. Vaccination is probably the best single tool we have and if everyone who could have been vaccinated was, we'd be in a different situation. However, with so many refusing, you have to get into the minutia about wearing masks, sitting certain distance apart, ventilation, etc., but people aren't good about going into the minutia or dealing with the fact that people in different situations (like different building with different ventilation) should behave differently.

Even knowing this, a lot of places simply don't want to spend money on infrastructure, including improving schools.

I know you're trying to make the point that Nintendo revolutionized itself and is a foundationally different company than it was in the 1910's, but not really.

Trading cards (cutting edge color printing) -> Mechanical toys (cutting edge machining) -> Basic games like Game and Watch -> Video Games.

Nintendo just makes complex toys using cutting edge tech and always has.
To add confusion; induction is drastically more efficient than resistance heating; heat pumps are drastically more efficient than gas or traditional heat.

So the communication problem is also one of changing technology. Technologies that adults learned 30 years ago are not the same as those today.
Curious what you see as the "lifestyle upgrade" in the contracting route? Is it mainly in the comp (if so, see my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30103313), or something else?

There's this "Conrad Stargard" book series about an engineer going back in time to 13th century Poland and starting industrial revolution there. The book is VERY, VERY sexist with a strong dose of ephebophilia, the hero is 100% Gary Stu with Catholic-supremacy mania, but the engineering challenges and solutions are quite well presented. The trick was to get a powerful patron early and adapt the technology to the limitations and the engineering looked pretty realistic to me.

For example he makes rails but no locomotives because pulling standarized cars with standarized containers along low-friction rails already brings most of the benefits of modern transport network and is much easier than designing a steam locomotive in 1230s.

There's a lot about industrializing cloth production there, too and it's quite detailed. I liked it despite all the awful stuff.

Oh, word. Thanks for the correction. I guess I extrapolated too much from the combo of you knowing enough of the clock inputs to the peripherals to make them work and a statement of yours about finding a pll bypass signal. I want to say your main point your statements on the pll bypass was that the cores must be mainly static logic because they ran stable at whatever rate the crystal is, but I'm half remembering and could conflating that with something else.
I have yet to meet someone who can talk the talk but can't walk the walk. But I am technical, so I think you need a technical person to evaluate that. The risk is when non-technical folks evaluate the technical and they can be fooled.

Leet code is the equivalent of math word problems. What they show is problem solving ability with algorithms and code. That's a different skill set. Almost like an IQ test.

I bet weavers fought like hell against textile industrialization. I'm not an historian, but there must have been such a conflict, and given the scale of it I bet it was bloody. Industrialization freed them from this toil, but at the cost of centralizing the means of production. It is a strange thing, progress.

The CDC has never balanced risks in any reasonable way. If you listened to the CDC, you wouldn't eat sunny-side up eggs, medium-rare steak, and Prosciutto.

I'm not sure its limited to just the CDC. The entire medical field misapplied basic fluid dynamics for over 50 years and incorrectly concluded that covid couldn't be airborne.
That's a really neat attention to detail! I haven't seen the colourblind boxes.
As an engineering manager this is a difficult one.

A developer who's excellent at leetcode really shines; it's a strong positive signal that correlates more often than not with someone who writes clean, easy-to-read and fast code. Furthermore, huge bonus points if they find learning algorithms fun because learning and enjoying code is, obviously, a big part of our work.

It also saddens me that so many developers (especially late in their careers) are stubborn about not learning these techniques ("I didn't get to be where I am now mastering recursion therefore it's stupid") which too often comes from an established position of privilege... This is very apparent when you compare to developers fresh out of university with little commercial experience; for them being good at algorithms is one of the few things - other than enthusiasm and side-projects - at their disposal. For that reason, leetcode is also fair you could argue; everyone gets the same treatment regardless of level.

However... a great many outstanding developers get flustered and tie themselves up in knots under interview pressure. If I went purely by "can this applicant perfectly solve this problem in 50 minutes" then I would be ruling out lots of really talented people. It also saddens me that early-career developers are being trained to just leetcode grind when what makes for a good hire (at any level) is someone who's endlessly curious and humble as opposed to being an algorithm beast.

It's tempting to think the solution should be a practical "make this app" test, but most highly-experienced developers can kick out excellent apps from muscle memory which tells me little about their ability to think on their feet, collaborate or learn new things. Furthermore if it's a take-home exercise, it significantly privileges those who have the freedoms to spend lots of time on it: e.g this could be a struggle for single parent families.

I recommend you watch Dan Abramov's fake interview on YouTube along with the two Ben Awad did to get some perspective on all this.

What we're currently experimenting with at Tipalti is pairing on a mix of some practical challenges and some algorithm challenges. The expectation is set that we don't care about completing, but more about how to solve the problem together. Everyone - including the hiring panel - are allowed to get confused and stuck and in a good interview session we'd all solve it together. The two sessions act as complementary bookend that gives a good feel for the candidate's range and approach.

Of course, it's not perfect by any stretch but like most things with engineering we keep an open mind try something new, get feedback then iterate. Always learning.

> What is the point of explaining, say the QR factorization (...) engineers?

As a personal data point, I'm a mathematician that regularly teaches the QR and SVD factorizations to engineers. Not because I find them interesting, but because they need it for their daily jobs and they ask me to.

More precisely, they are engineers working in the geometrical modelling of satellite sensors, doing "computer vision" from satellite images. The QR and SVD factorizations of 3 and 4-dimensional matrices are essential tools for the bundle adjustment steps, to represent the position and orientation of each satellite and the transformations between them. A crucial idea (for them) is that A=QR is a unique decomposition of A which is also continuous (the coefficients of Q and R depend smoothly on the coefficients of A). On the contrary, the SVD decomposition is neither unique nor continuous. Since the SVD provides an easier-to-use decomposition, you want to use it whenever possible, but being careful to never assume continuity nor uniqueness; if you need these properties then you pick the QR.
And I guess you can't talk about any technicalities in depth, correct ?
It is common for up to mid-level jobs in finance and consulting to require doing on-the-fly modelling and analysis in Excel. I am pretty sure things like structural, mechanical, or chemical engineering also have substantial technical components to their interviews. While it is not done directly by the employer, board certification for doctors entails 8 hour long tests. Similarly, tradesmen like plumbers and electricians require in-depth written and practical tests for licensure. You can definitely dispute the practicality of these for the job vs. leetcode, but I really don't think that the rest of the world is getting jobs with a resume and a firm handshake.
This is the fundamental issue with coronavirus mitigation measures. There are circumstances in which "drop everything" makes sense - if coronavirus were ten times more fatal, we'd do it naturally.

But in general, looking at life from a perspective of "what is the minimum possible quality of life we can have" is depressing and fundamentally incompatible with the human spirit.

I tend to think that people who operate in this way are subhuman, in the genuine sense of the word - they seem more like bureaucratic automatons than living beings with spirits and hopes and dreams.

Like, yeah, I will take the risk of contracting coronavirus to play the piano, because I want the piano in my life. The piano is what life is, life is not simply breathing and eating.

The OP indicated he hadn't been able to get any sort of response from Facebook at all. I wouldn't consider this as first line of enquiry, it's more for if you can't get any help through regular channels.

I think it's worth pointing out that I'm not suggesting legal threats, which probably wouldn't work anyway with Facebooks size and terms of use. Just talking to their legal team won't necessarily invoke the "no-one else can now talk to them".

That's why asking questions like how law enforcement could engage to catch the hacker might be useful. It's not combative, it speaks more to anger at the hacker than at Facebook, but at the same time a human becomes aware of the problem.

The corporate lawyers that I've worked with spend a lot of time thinking about how things can go badly for a company. That means they're keen to mitigate risks, and they have latitude to actually do things. They have KPIs/OKRs that align with the current problem.

At the end of the day they potentially get to feel good about sorting this problem out as well.

> People don't get spoiled or poisoned products.

I'm quite sure that this still happens only to lesser extents. Compare European food regulations to U.S. food regulations. American food while not explicitly killing people outright still has some ghosts in its past that are present in today's foods. See the Coca-Cola, Sugar companies, and 'fat-free' corporate lobbying of the FDA, as well as the huge advertising for terrible food has affected Americans.

The U.S. has food deserts, where fresh produce and food is either too expensive or impossible to find with substitutes being boxed goods laden with sugar and grains from the whale of corporations like General Mills and Kellogs.
The photos of negatives with holes punched in them trigger flares of anger in me, especially where the puncher has seemed to purposefully hole-punched the face of a subject.

>> You will pass out in 15 seconds no matter how calm you are.

Well, I certainly didn't. In training (military) I did a pressure chamber day with 33,000ft breathing (lots of fun, do it if you ever get the chance). They took us to 12,000 in a big chamber and then fed us a reduced oxygen via masks to simulate 33,000ft. After about a minute I certainly felt effects, but I was very much awake long long after 15 seconds. I was playing solitaire on an iPad thing. After everyone noticed their personal symptoms they switched us over to pure O2. Some experienced tunnel vision and such. All I ever felt was as slight headache and that I was doing worse at the ipad game. I was awake enough to remember the Sargent who walked up and down the chamber looking us in the eye to see if we were awake. He was scary.

I mean that applies to anyone in this thread more than me specifically. I'm not saying Wealthfront is the best option, just that I've been fine with it as someone who knows nothing about investing and didn't want to keep throwing money into a savings account. And if we're being picky about time, I'm closer to 4 years in Wealthfront and was up 50% all time a few weeks ago. Still not the best, but better than savings.

Meet the man who gave away his seat on the SpaceX flight
It's mad how much faster catamarans can be than monohulls. When I was a student me and some friends got together and bought a used Dart 16 with the spinnaker kit, it was the fastest thing there by a huge margin (albiet because most of the boats were the usual student fare, Fireflies, Laser 2s, GP14s). We played a fun game called 'cat and mouse' which was basically British bulldog but on dinghies, the club boats had to avoid getting caught by the much faster catamaran but it was a fair game because the cat was hopeless upwind and the slower club boats could point far further and escape.

The most fun I ever had on that boat was at Bala Lake in north Wales, honestly one of the most underrated dinghy sailing places on the planet in my opinion.
This is an asinine take. Local elites were probably already connected with the broader world.

There are drove of case studies demonstrating real benefits to the poor int he global south from internet access [1]. Having access to weather info, commodity prices, and digital banking are revolutionizing small hold farming in a lot of African countries. If you know how much your crop sells for you no longer need to trust the word of the commodity trader who comes to your farm, you now have more power to negotiate.

It's frankly stupid and offensive to equate internet access with imperialism.

This would be absolutely fantastic, especially because crows are social animals and learn from each-other's behavior (so your trained contingent would expand over time)! That said there is a small risk - if crows learn to do this second hand and don't necessarily put the buds in the box, they could start fires by dropping still lit buds that were left on concrete in the wrong, combustible, place - dry grass, paper garbage, etc.
Let me lay down some parallels here: reporter posting fake news, damaging reputation of good people. Actually causing tangible harm to innocents by his bad reporting. Spiderman was given powers to be his judge, jury, and executioner, but he chose to not use them in that manner. Because you can not exercise your power on people just because you can, and because they piss you off. It is morally reprehensible. Good people don't hit somebody like a ton of bricks just because they don't like what this somebody said. You must learn to coexist with people you disagree with. You can't just bully the others to make them exclude people you don't like.
One example is that GJ stops being generally efficient in arbitrary precision settings. Many people will never have to deal with this, but if you are doing cryptography, it matters.

For example, while you can use GJ to calculate the determinant of a matrix, this can easily become exponential, and for integer matrices (or generally for matrices over division rings), there is an alternative method (the Bareiss algorithm) that is actually efficient.

Anything in vitro with viruses is almost certainly going to be a disappointment.

For instance, Ivermectin is one of those big (small) molecules which is floppy in some places but also has bits of rigid structure. At high doses it is going to bind to many different things.

At high doses it will kill you. Few poisons kill you by killing cells (like HCN) but rather like Strychnine, Sarin, Amatoxin they kill you by interfering with the job some population of cells does. Cultured cells aren't doing that job, so you might not even notice that those deadly poisons are poisons in a cell culture.

It's a nice ad for the service, but there are many services that can do a simple forwarding to mailboxes. The hard part about the GSuite Free shutdown isn't the email routing. It is docs that have been shared with you, calendar events that Google has a hard time realizing are now managed somewhere else, Google Photos and Keep that can't easily be transferred, Play Purchases that are stuck on the old account.

So it is nice to provide a simple guide, but this is the trivial part of the migration. It took me about 2h mostly because I was cautious and did a slow migration.

> Give egoists just a little bit of power and they'll spend 12 hours a day moderating Reddit for free

That really blew up in their face didn't it? 12 hours by the way is probably a low ballpark by the way. In my mind the power mods compulsively play Reddit like World of Warcraft addicts gearing up on a 7-day no shower session, going around silencing and ban-hammering users they dont like. I don't have the link but someone posted statistics of the top "players" in these communities, and it approaches something like making a post/comment/edit about every 6 minutes of being awake, or something equally ridiculous.

> There are just too many issues to discuss them all, or in much detail.

Couldn't agree more. Someone could probably write a thesis on the devolution of social media companies. I might be crazy but I see a pattern here. If it didn't have so much political implications I wouldn't care what a website here or there does, but it clearly has implications on real life.

I'm not passing a value judgment on how western democracies restrict speech, I'm just saying that if they restrict speech, then they are doing censorship. Indeed they are doing the same thing, qualitatively, as more authoritarian countries, but on different subjects and with different intensities. If it makes you uncomfortable to call it what it is, perhaps you'd do well to investigate why that is.
I wasn't a big fan of k8s when I first started using it (note: I was on the borg team at google when omega was being built, and know the original k8s developers from that time). When I started using it it was still pretty unstable (this was at least 5 years ago).

Since then I've been using it more heavily and all I can say is this will likely be the system I spend most of my cluster work in for the next 10-20 years (after that I'll be retired!). It's enough like borg that I can translate over nearly everything, it's not broken in any fundamental way (although there are some serious bugs from 2015 that I never expect to get fixed).

One thing about borg that was always controversial was the scripting language created to submit and update jobs (bcl/gcl). It's quirky but I have not seen a better system for inheriting and updating templates. Even so I'm glad the k8s authors force you to use a simple config language with a minimum (or no) logic in it.
