The biggest disappointment was manufacturers moving away from the DIN standard. Companies like Pioneer and Alpine (even defunct companies like Eclipse) have had highly functional and usable touchscreen DVD/stereo/GPS units since at least ~2005. Things like GPS, bluetooth and voice control all seem to work without fail on the units I've had (my only issue has been a folder limit on USB drives). They also focus on sound quality, so you can get higher quality audio from the unit via RCA jacks to an amplifier. All of this for <$500 with GPS, <$200 without GPS. If the car companies want tight integrations (things like OBDII tying into display, climate controls) an OEM developed touchscreen makes sense, but as a consumer, using a 20 year old OEM touchscreen is painful. Modularity (the DIN standard) solved this, by allowing easy upgrades, but I guess that doesn't help move newer cars.
Coding interviews are the easiest interviews. There’s very little difference between the problems, and they usually don’t need a trick. Just discuss your solution before you start writing the code, and assuming you don’t get a jerk or completely blank, you’ll be fine. It’s the most objective of all the rounds. It’s literally just practice. The fact that it’s so paint by numbers, is probably one of the reasons why interview coaching focuses on it. Manufacture some demand, and you have a low effort company.

Technical design is a bit harder to prepare for, because it’s more about trying pattern match systems you know against the problem presented. Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of high level case studies or design discussions.

The ones that are hardest to prepare for, and no doubt has sunk many a candidate are the softer interviews, particularly management interviews and cultural fit interviews. Those are a complete crapshoot. There’s probably stock answers to prepare, but the questions are pretty random. If you can figure out how to coach the those in 202X (as opposed to recycling 1965’s advice), then you’ve got something.

My initial bet would be that something is causing a kernel panic in the control plane side of the radio. This is then leading to the UI not being able to pass any messages before the system locks up. Watchdog timer expires and resets everything.

This is based on the line "...causing radios to reboot when they connect to KUOW’s 94.9 FM signal."
I'm skeptical half the men really know what piezoelectricity is, for example. Much less 75% being able to define boson. Maybe if the survey was at an engineering college.
My wild guess would be that there's something in the HD broadcast causing the issue. Something as simple as a metadata field being too long could trigger a bug in the headunit firmware. The HD broadcast spec seems non trivial and largely closed off so it wouldn't surprise me that there'd be buggy implementations.
> It's consistent across time and the globe for the overwhelming majority of nations transitioning to and from capitalism to any other system. It's not just some singular event that happened once in the 18th century, it's observable right now. I provided examples in another comment.

Not really, Capitalism have also been observed to do its thing without democracy as well. And just moving forward is a pretty low bar, the USSR had lots of progress as well, but it doesn't make Stalinism a good system. It's also fundamentally a correlation, not causation. Would another historical path had a better outcome for the average citizen? Maybe, maybe not.

> Prove it. What is this 80%?

Slavery? Racism? Colonialism? Property requirements to vote? Women suffrage? Supporting brutal regimes in the name of corporate profit? Famine while still exporting? Exploitation fueled by Capitalism's profit and growth motive? Climate and ecological disaster? People dying in the US due to lack of healthcare access? etc...

> Name them and describe how and why.

Come on, you're the one preaching, it's your duty to prove your extraordinary claim against history. Capitalism is like 400 years old. A mere blip. Native American's societies for example thought of people being forced to wage labour their entire life for someones else's enrichment to be not much better than being a slave. Certainly not "freedom" in any case. Not to even mention their thoughts about the concept of private ownership of the commons, as in private property.

> I provided explicit examples and illustrated consistency across time and geography. Hand wavy dismissals aren't doing your argument any favors.

What explicit examples?
What does 'fundamentally expensive' mean?

If it does not incluse precision engineering to build largest vacuum vessel, supercomputers, superconductors, generation and containment of hottest substance on the planet, and largest magnetic fields we can produce. If that's not 'fundamentally expensive', then what is?

I currently rent in a building from a big Private Equity/rental corporation (Equity Residential).

It's depressing.

I avoided this portion of the argument earlier, but…

Given the yearly cost of your average software development team and their budget for development laptops/desktops, a $700 mac mini for Safari testing is pocket lint for your average corporation.

The 10 minutes also isn't accurate because the ability to obtain private keys from public keys would completely destroy the incentives of the Bitcoin network. Miners are incentivized and compensated for including transactions in a block due to fees. The ability to steal the coins from an incoming transaction would create incentives not to include transactions in a block and to instead spam the network with as many malicious nodes as possible to halt the proliferation of transactions.

> We don't have working fusion power, at all.

Sure we do. Look no further than this article. We can make it, but its not commercially viable.

> "Cost effective" is a judgement call, not physics. If I told you that the cost of coal-generated electricity was that your great-grandchildren would live in an impoverished and difficult world, you might not view that a particular cost-effective either, yet somehow that's the "standard" against which things are judged.

Ah yes, think of the children.

Yes, coal is problematic, but the reality is that energy is expensive and we need a lot of it. If we tried to go full solar right now it would cost trillions of dollars, and the grid would still fail in the winter when heating is most important, and the economy would enter a massive depression as the cost of doing things gets both more expensive on average and extremely volatile.

You say this is a judgement call, not physics, but then go on to just broadly make assumptions about all of the relevant facts. You're not the one being logical and fact based. You're the one observing, yes, we have a climate crisis, and thus assuming that a radical solution for which you have no particular understanding of the economic or infrastructure implications is the right one because it's at least different from what we have now.

Renewables are good. They are getting cheaper. They're growing in capacity. And yet, I guarantee you, we cannot go full solar now. And I also guarantee that you do not have nearly sufficient of a view of the system dynamics to be making statements as bold as you are. This is hard. It's not just evil greedy coal mine operators ruining everything.
There are a few exceptions and/or borderline cases. Press releases are one. The best third-party article on a story is usually better than a corporate press release.

`wonderwonder` said that a 100% wealth tax was unprecedented and not a realistic scenario.

Then you replied "It actually happened not that long ago, in the US" and cited that the US used to have a 90% marginal income tax bracket.

A 90% marginal income rate is not in the same universe as a 100% wealth tax rate.

At exactly the speed of light you would experience no duration at all. But it would take infinite energy to get going that fast, and infinite energy again to stop, and would still take 100,000 years as seen by anybody watching at either end.

Water has a specific heat capacity of 4184J/kg/C. Lets say to get to the boil you need to go from 20C to 100C and that a kettle holds 1.75L.

59MJ / (80C * 4184J/kg/C) = 176kg ~= 176L ~= 100 kettles.

Water has a latent heat of vaporization of 2260 kJ/kg. So to boil it dry:

59MJ / (80C * 4184J/kg/C + 2260 kJ/kg) = 22kg ~= 22L ~= 12 kettles.

It's also quite a helpful metric.

Most British people are aware that the national grid used to spend a lot of time making sure they had the power available to draw during the commercial breaks of mass-media TV events (series finales, half time in a cup match etc) purely for the nation boiling water with electric kettles en masse.

Great intersection of hard science (energy necessary to boil water + extremely efficient energy transfer) and everyperson knowledge. Good journalism!

"Historical bias in education" seems like a bad justification that just draws on modern buzz words. Girls outperform boys in every subject in school, science included, and always have in our modern education system (last century or so). The idea that girls are getting worse education is not plausible.

On the other hand, there is an obvious explanation, which, I feel all of us with sufficient exposure to both genders must know - which is that women tend to be more interested in fabrics and fashion and better learn that vocabulary while men are more interested in the science (or science fiction) and technical terms and learn that vocabulary.

Most people accept that their houses are accessible via a single physical key that - in reality - is mostly security theater as 10 minutes of lock picking lawyer will yeild favourable results depending on your motivation.

And 2FA does not represent the real world. If you lose your house key, you may need a new door, or perhaps a skilled locksmith can make your day a lot less worse.

Yet, in the digital sphere, if you lose your 2FA (or backup codes) your account is lost, forever. There is no "digital locksmith". I dare anyone to test this by losing their "key" and attempting to regain access, there is no other human on earth you can physically contact, especially with Google.

Let me ask anyone here: you've invested over 10+ years of your life working for your house or car. You get a single set of keys. The terms and conditions state if you ever lose your keys you will be locked out, without recourse, forever.

Yet this happens constantly with Google (just search HN, it's practically every week!). If their AI says "you bad, you go bye", your keys are taken away and any of your legally purchased possession's are just taken away, and somehow this is legal!!

We must fix this before mandating strict digital security.

> 1 Okay fine, S3 too, but that’s a different animal.

I think people forget that AWS S3 isn't immutable. Unlike an EBS volume, it is impossible to "snapshot" S3 the way you can a database. There are arbitrary global limitations outside the scope of your control, and a dozen different problems with trying to restore or move or version all the things about buckets that aren't objects (although the objects too can be problematic depending on a series of factors).

If you want real simplicity/repeatability/reliability, but have to use S3, host your own internal S3 service. This way you can completely snapshot both the metadata and block devices used by your S3 service, making it actually immutable. Plus you can do things like re-use a bucket name or move it to any region without worrying about global conflicts. (All of that is hard/expensive to do, however, so you should just use AWS S3 and be very careful not to use it in a way that is unreliable)

This is not as comfortable a margin as it seems. If a direct implementation of the algorithm takes a few million qubits, it may well be that both better algorithms, better error correcting codes, and optimizing their combination to the hardware platform will shave a few orders of magnitude.
