That's pretty interesting. One downside might be losing the ability to do checksums on what's been downloaded, as a safeguard. I wonder if there's a way to preserve that without ruining the parallel downloads and un-tarring.

Streaming killed The radio; music is doing fine. There's plenty of good music that's also well produced, and it's easy to find people with similar taste. You don't need lots of money to make music anymore because the production equipment and skills have been democratized

They just don't use the radio to do it anymore, so you've been left out of their filter bubbles.

Netflix's real problem is that all their content disappeared when content owners realized that they could make their own streaming service. Theres nothing to watch on Netflix now, rather than all you can eat.

The overhead of Widgets and Teams in Windows 11
Like many management system fads, it started as a useful kernel of wisdom or obvious maxim that idiots ran with and turned into a monster. In the case of six sigma, the idea is about constantly optimizing your workflows and not accepting "we've always done it this way" as an excuse.

But most people lack the critical thinking skills to correctly apply wisdom when necessary and instead need a solid framework to operate within. That's how these things inevitably develop. Just like how Agile is supposed to be about getting working code over being bogged down in process but inevitably ends up with with half baked products that have massive issues.

Six Sigma also gets applied to industries it has no business being in. The mentality works best when you have a fixed workflow. In manufacturing it would be if you are making a lot of one thing. You can do a lot of optimizing. But I have seen it employed in organizations where every project was vastly different. Instead of a lean approach it should have, and previously was, following a house of quality philosophy. This happened to be in an industry where cost was rarely a consideration but performance and reliability were.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Our engineering team has been fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely, but we are just now starting to open up the office for those who are vaccinated and wish to come in.

For Full stack engineers, we use Angular, Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

Machine learning is going to be a core part of what we do going forward, and we’re planning to significantly grow the team this year after building out our first couple applications. We’re looking for data scientists to build our models and engineers with experience in data pipelining, designing and deploying ml architecture. Additionally we have opportunities available for full stack engineers without previous experience in ML to work on data-engineer-like projects and assist with productizing the outputs of our models.

My policy is if you hear 18 other recruiters murmuring in the background, decline, then block that number and that email.

Sometimes you get multiple contacts from different recruiters with the same company on the same day.

If they won't tell you what company is interested, they don't have a contract with that company.

Don't be open and honest with a recruiter if they aren't open and honest with you.
Firefox for Android does support (proper) browser extensions. I have uBlock Origin, for example. The problem is that by default Mozilla only allows a small number of extensions since the redesign/new Firefox.

> Why is that a surprise

It's surprising to many.

Many people will decide they are "data driven" and act like this gives them infallibility and total correctness. Lots of people need to be told this.

In theory, FSD shouldn't have blind spots like an A pillar for human drivers.

But I agree with your point.

It is ok that you did not feel comfortable with that, but pay negotiations are exactly why you would want to have a recruiter: they handle that for you, and are generally incentivized to get you as much money as they can since they generally get a percentage of your yearly salary as their pay. So by telling the recruiter you were not going to share that with them you were hamstringing them... of course they thought you were a bad candidate (for them).

It is a bit petty that they told the company that you were a poor candidate, but you seem to not understand what was happening. And it could have been they had already mentioned your name to them, and then had to explain why they suddenly were not representing you. I don't know, but that is a reasonable explanation.

I personally have had a mixed bag with recruiters: many I have dealt with are worthless in that they don't understand the jobs they are recruiting for (so give very bad matches to both sides), but I have been lucky twice and had recruiters give me great jobs and handle the pay negotiations so well that I probably got $20-40K/year more than I would have by myself (if I had somehow found those positions).

If they hit me at speed there's nothing I could do whether I argued or not, I'd be laid out before I knew what happened. If they stopped, then hit me, that wouldn't be a bad collision to take, they'd only get up to a few mph in the few feet in front of me even if they hammered the throttle. I'd slide off the hood and get their plates and then they'd be in jail and I would walk into the courtroom with a neck brace and get my payout.
Yeah, but that's not a tech issue. The few thousand that have the full self driving beta just have the opt-in option to turn on rolling stops. That just has to be removed in their next update.
Two examples come to mind:

- Investing your money with the fund manager who has the highest returns over the last year, or even 5 years, is called "performance chasing" and generally has worse returns than investing in an index. Think investing in dot com stocks in 1999, and real estate in 2007.

- In Moneyball, about using stats to improve a baseball team, they didn't care how many home runs someone hit. In fact, getting runs that way was considered bad. They wanted to get players on base and them get them home, even if through walks. There's a part of the book where a player is getting a lot of home runs, and therefore increasing the team's score, but the manager doesn't like it. "It's a process", "we have a process" he keeps saying.

I personally have a tendency to match the speed of the cars around me. IMNHO, most cars speed through school zones. I use cruise control as a tool to prevent me from accidentally matching the speed of the cars around me and breaking the school zone speed limit.
Even with somewhat assured first strike outcomes I still don't see a rational reason for a nuclear power to go ahead with it. What are they going to do afterwards, conquer territory? It's not going to work because nuclear strikes won't magically disappear the (now really angry) population. So what would be the point? And now you lose all the fruits of trade and punish your own people.

Re: an insane leader ordering a strike just for fun, I have faith I guess in the staff who would be actually pushing the buttons. It has happened before.
I loved the article.
I worked in sales for ~2 years before starting my career as a software engineer +15 years ago, so knowing how downputting rejections are, I try to treat all the salespeople as human beings, so I try to respond to all of them.
My strategy is to make them refusing me, by requiring "only" a +30% i increase.
This is a bit surprising to me. I haven't seen many Cruise cars on SF roads in the last few months. I've seen a hell of a lot of Waymo, on the other hand.

Separate thought:

> I’m still surprised I can even write those words — this moment really snuck up on me.

This seems to be poorly worded PR considering how much general worry there is over the safety of self-driving cars. If I were writing it, I would have phrased it along the lines of "I've been waiting months and months for this. We've been ready for months but we understandably had to triple-check all our compliance etc."
I've been using Maps.me, it has great mapping material (OSM) and the navigation is decent. Been using it in the Caribbeans, GMaps and AMaps barely have street names there.
The Walmart thing is a bit interesting. A couple of the Walmart heirs are avid mountain bikers. They pretty much single handedly created Bentonville AR as a mountain biking destination.

It's a bit complicated. People tend not to give money to "The NHS", but to their local hospitals. So his money hasn't gone to "The NHS", it went to the charitable funding posts of lots of these provider organisations.

If you're asking why those provider orgs don't have the money they need the answer is simple: we've had ten years of governments that thing the NHS should do more for less.

Tangentially, some years ago I recall reading a few articles about the problem with 'misconception busting' articles [I may try to find such an article later]. Apparently, content formatted like...

> Myth: Spinach has a high iron content

> Fact: Spinach does not have a particularly high iron content

... actually tends to reinforce the misconception in readers.

This suggests to me that similar fact-checking content is inherently harmful for their achieving their intended purpose.

I've gotten a ticket on US 24 (going Fort Wayne to Toledo) for doing 69 in a 65. I've went through there probably nearing a hundred times by then (both family and work out that way) but only been pulled over for it that once. Ever since One of two tickets I've ever gotten, the other was also in Ohio but that one was much more obvious - I missed the speed change on a normal road when I was younger and was doing 45 in a 35. Cop knocked that one down quite a bit though, can't remember what actually got put on the ticket.

Of all of the places I've been Chicago was probably the worst at speeding, especially in the dead of night when the roads are "too" open. Recently they got a bit stricter with the speed cameras though https://www.illinoispolicy.org/chicagos-speed-cameras-ticket...

"You'll see" is the perfect Musk sign for "I have no idea what I'm talking about and I'm frankly just interested in a few suckers believing me."
If you gathered up every single one of these edge cases and multiplied them by 10 you wouldn't get anywhere near the actually-existing, non-hypothetical, measurable problem of speeding.

So, sure, we should talk about edge cases and people who implement this technology should work on them, but even if they didn't, the tech would still be a good idea given fairly pedestrian calculations of the relevant tradeoffs.

And even if we accept your premise that the edge cases are a big deal, the solution presents itself quite readily: let there be an override with serious consequences for frivolously engaging it. Simple.
