Entirely depends on your org and your role. I work closely with 20-30 people, regularly with 50, and less frequently with 100+. Since joining I have closely worked with 100-200 (not at the same time of course).

There would have to be high quality studies that showed that ivermectin worked in countries that are not beset with parasitic worms (a known COVID comorbidity). And since ivermectin in practice is pitched as an alternative to vaccination, those studies would have to show efficacy against death/hospitalization in the ballpark of full vax + boosted (ie ~95%+)
Absolutely fair argument. I don't live there so im not gonna comment to deeply here, but one thing i know to be true is that by and large the people who were participating in the demonstration were also members of the community. This doesn't necessarily justify harm done but it makes their view just as relevant as someone who is more successful than they are. (Though notably it wasn't just the poor demonstrating.)

You definitely should question it. The US had the highest foreign aid budget in the world but little to show for it.

If you are an effective altruist and want foreign aid to benefit the world, you should be concerned that it's funnelled to defence contractors instead.

If you just think the US wastes too much money on it's military you should be concerned that they are sneaking more money to defence contractors under the guise of humanitarianism.
As far as I can tell, that is speculative fiction, written before Trump's inauguration, but about what might happen only after Trump took office. Its only direct quotes seem to be from an attorney and a lecturer, not politicians, and from the Republican head of the Chamber of Commerce and Rush Limbaugh, neither of whom can be thought to have an inside source on Democratic intentions. There is a mention that Grayson said actions, taken while Trump was in office, and following Trump's stated intentions, could lead to impeachment, which is quite different from calling for impeachment pre-inauguration (besides which, even this prediction/warning—not call to arms—is something Grayson is only said to have said, rather than a direct quote).

(I find on re-reading that my parent post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30095537 said "neither of these quotes any Democrat by name as calling for impeachment before he held office." I meant, though I see now that I did not say, any mainstream Democratic politician. I apologise if this seems to be moving the goalposts; I can say only that I misspoke, rather than trying intentionally to change the debate mid-stream. I will certainly grant that there were everyday Democratic voters who would have been happy to see Trump impeached before office, and who maybe even explicitly called for it, but I think such on-the-street voices cannot reasonably be compared in prominence or impact to McConnell's actions.)
The fascinating design story behind the new Maya Angelou quarters
This exactly. Feature flags are necessary for rollouts, but they also quickly become technical debt. Multiple outages happened at my last company when the feature flag service went down and old flags defaulted to “off”.

It got to the point that the supporting team restricted flag-based rollouts to 95%. If you wanted it on for everyone, you had to remove the flag. Not sure if I fully agree with that design, but as an organization we were consistently failing to clean up flags.

Ask HN: How do I get better at my PMM role?
Using a different account than my normal.

I'm looking to solidify processes and improve my skill set. (B2C startup, small-mid size.) Would love any general or hyper-specific advice from experienced PMMs on g2m strategies, establishing new marketing channels for a product, etc.

Also, if any PMs want to weigh on making PM <--> PMM relationships more effective, I'd like that too.
I think this response comes from an inter-misunderstanding. In this context, "none of these things" referred to "none of this perceptions". Things like "color" and "beauty" only exists through the prism of entities which somehow feel them.

Only through solipsism one might think that nothing would exist without the current conscientiousness stream.

Good idea. With the prevalent issue of positive review spam, I often look for negative reviews first to see a thoughtful one where the buyer actually used the item, rather than the flood of positive "reviews" of short-term usage.

There are some great pieces written on this. The author is just in an academic bubble. If you go to a riotous situation on the ground you will encounter people spreading and handing out plenty of free literature espousing the views the rioters hold about their activities.

I think a very good case can be made for the Nikon D3 outperforming film in every practical way in 2007, but it is striking that people have such a misapprehension of the resolution of 35mm film. Especially slow films like these.

Plus, most of the lens recipes that dominated the middle 20th century (and certainly dominated in compact cameras until the 1990s) were established by the start of WWII. The main difference between then and, say, 1980, is coatings for colour photography and flare reduction.
An honest yet pointed question: what permissions does your bank's 2FA app request? My guess is, as a bank, they're doing the right thing. However, permissions overreach is a real issue that even "legitimate" apps are exploiting to vacuum as much user data as possible.
They also serve you ads by promoting music that they get paid to promote - or where the artists agree to even less royalties in order to be promoted more.

I tried pretty hard to specify this bit in my comment: violence towards people IS NOT damage to property. Hard thing for people to engage with earnestly though :( I think its because to them, damage to private property makes life to varying degrees more difficult for the owner of the property. I know from growing up in the middle class suburbs that it is difficult for many people to tell the difference between that difficulty and violence done directly or indirectly to you by a power structure.

Yea. Especially saying the Android permission list is ludicrous, that sums about a majority of apps in existence, even from 'good ole American' companies.
Theres also the nice middle-ground of smaller but more established companies. They may not IPO any time soon but aren’t so chaotic, and also don’t have the multiple levels of bureaucracy of a big company.

Usually in these companies roles aren’t as formally defined, so you can grow in skills and experience even if the company is never going to be a unicorn or re-define the future of ‘XYZ’.
In one of them there's literally an explosion happening. I suppose you could fake that for a photo, but it was the middle of a war?
Feature flags can be used as a gate for in progress code. This is common in companies that enforce a linear commit history and encourage many frequent, small commits. It helps avoid merge conflicts that could happen with long living feature branches.

QM/QFT is radically simpler to simulate than classical mechanics. It's infinitely more expensive though in terms of pure CPU speed though.

With classical mechanics you need to timestep and integrate F=ma and all kinds of associated issues. In QFT you just generate all possible 4D configurations of all fields, assign a weight to each by a prescription, and estimate the ones you're interested in finding the probability for by adding together the weights, take their square, and normalize by the total sum of weights.
You posted that response literally three minutes after my comment. That's barely enough time to read the introduction section of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Revolution. I suggest you spend more than three minutes learning about a thing before complaining that things are not obvious to you about it. Three hours would be reasonable. You could spend the first hour or two just reading that article, or start with https://www.gwern.net/reviews/Cultural-Revolution, which is only about ten or twenty minutes of reading and better written, but of course much less objective. Either of those two starting points will give you plenty of links to explore.

Since it's one of the most important events in human history, one with extremely important parallels to current events in the US and extremely important influences on everyone in China, and you evidently don't know anything about it at all (except that it happened in China, I guess), it will definitely be worthwhile.
> For future-proofing, and DDOS/censorship mitigation, content-addressed storage (DAT/IPFS/Torrent) makes sense.

Well great, now you can't even change the content one tiny bit (not even definitively benign changes like fixing a typo or a bug in your CSS or whatever) without invalidating all links pointing to it.

Okay, so as long as anybody still has that version cached and is seeding it at least the link still works (though over time it's not excluded that that number might drop to zero and the link still break after all), though now of course everybody who comes in gets the old version and might not even new that some update exists.

While I acknowledge that the silent updates possible with HTTP for an URL's contents can be a curse as much as they are a blessing, I'm not sure if "absolutely no updates ever" are the right answer, either.

If I were cycling past a car and the door began to open, I would (and do) respond on the assumption that that door is going to open all the way. You don't have to be moving fast for that to be problematic. Moreover, there are plenty of places you have continuous parked cars. If you slowed to a genuinely safe speed you may as well be walking.
This is why we need car batteries that are designed to be recycled. Solid state batteries vs sandwiched materials.
Back in the late 80s/early 90s, my bored teenage friends and I would cook up floppy disks for the unprotected computers at Circuit City, Best Buy, etc. that contained "special" payloads. Usually just "graphics/sound demos". Sometimes silly, sometimes lewd, always funny (for us, not for the stores). They were made to survive reboots, since the practice of re-imaging floor model demo computers had not taken hold yet. As far as I can recall, nobody was injured during these juvenile pranks.

I know the App Store isn't immune but I'm having a hard time remembering a time when an app on iOS was reaching into other app's data or doing something like a keylogger system-wide. Often it's things like "It's listening to you, grabbing your clipboard, etc". While far from "good" or "ok", it's a far cry from some random app being able to steal my banking session.

There's a bunch of details that can be suggested, but the sad (actually, amazing) thing is that compression and encoding software has come such a long long way, that most of the default settings will produce a very decent result. FFMPEG + x264/x265 are stunning with minimum inputs required (minimum compared to the many many switches you can fiddle with individually).

For a broader understanding, look into the basics of how codecs like h.264/h.265 work. Learn about I frame encoding and how P and B frames work. Learn about the affects of long-GOP (multiple seconds) encodes for streaming purposes vs shorter GOPs (half second). Understand how an encoder makes it's vector decisions. How/why static videos encode compared to fast action. How will the videos you intend to use for VR/AR fall into those categories.

Resources like articles on Wikipedia have lots of information on the technical side of things without that are not video compression tutorials. However, learning the tech side will help make informed decisions on what knobs to tweak and why. There are so so many actual blogs/tutorials/SO answers/etc that will give you actual settings to apply. Once you have the specific question, I will be amazed if there is no answer available for it online.
> Tech is supposed to just be tech, but when the community behaves this badly about adopting improvements how can that not influence your decision to invest in that tech?

What you say was bad about it? And who were the bad people specifically? The people who were using python 2 or python 3?

For what it's worth, python3 >= 3.0 && python <= 3.2 were hideously broken in their unicode support. Arguably had worse/unusable uncode relative to python 2.6 or 2.7.

So there was a huge failure to launch type of problem, especially given how long python3 had been development.

It most definitely left a very sour taste in many people's mouth that didn't start dissipating till 3.5 or 3.6 when enough "killer" features had accumulated.

Even then, for a lot of usages, python 2.7 'just works'.

I couldn't find ratings specific to Pittsburgh to determine what proportion of them fit into the Good/Fair/Poor categories. That's what would really be needed to assess the scale of the problem for Pittsburgh relative to the rest of the country. Although knowing what I do about the area I wouldn't be surprised if it is disproportionately worse: It's only somewhat recently that it's made a bit of an economic comeback from its downtrodden rustbelt days. I just wanted to clarify that, as much as Pittsburgh may be particularly problematic, its infrastructure issues were still replicated across most of the US.

It's not every point release - it's just this one, and it's because this change was (very reasonably) delayed from 2020.

I used to use Quora a lot and that was pretty much Quora's mission statement. I can't find an explicit comparison to Wikipedia, although I've definitely seen that somewhere. But here are a few highlights from a post the founder wrote about the company's mission[1]:

"Quora's mission is to share and grow the world's knowledge."

"Quora aims to allow anyone to easily share their knowledge and in the process to dramatically increase the total amount of knowledge available to the world."

"We hope to become an internet-scale Library of Alexandria, a place where hundreds of millions of people go to learn about anything and share everything they know."

IMO it's generally good advice to be wary of rolling too many disjoint use cases into one abstraction, and I think that's the rationale behind recommending polymorphism, but the ergonomics of actually writing OO code make it impractical advice to try to follow as a rule. Inversion-of-control is often a more practical way to solve the same problem, in my experience

Sure, though if your back-end has multiple services this becomes harder. If your back-end uses more than one server, then you can run into issues.

Feature flags also let you do partial rollouts, where you release to 0.1% of users and see if stuff breaks. Or A/B test to see if your feature improves whatever its meant to improve. It also lets you roll out the feature selectively to certain users if it's a breaking changes and each user needs time to migrate.
