For sure. It's likely habit, not intent. Public reactions lag cultural changes, and this generates so much of the drama we see.

Interesting stuff! Does anyone here have recommended learning resources for openSCAD? Have used creo but minimally, as a hobbyist. Would be fun to build enclosures for some Eagle boards.
Point out where I made an argument. Go ahead. Do it.
Fusion power could give you power when you need it unlike solar power which would need storage. Of course Fusion power is so complex and expensive that it is likely far cheaper to simply build solar panels and add storage.

While Fusion obviously has merits I think it is overhyped as a solution. Molten Salt Reactors are a much more sensible solution if nuclear power is the desired solution. Why? Because they actually generate LESS nuclear waste than Fusion power plants.

The big selling point of Fusion reactors is that they don't generate any nuclear waste. Except they kind of do. Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) in contrast actually "eat up" nuclear waste. You can power them on nuclear waste and get less waste out. Thus an MSR has negative radioactive waste production. Fusion has positive waste production.

Unlike Fusion reactors we have already proven that we can build MSR reactors. It doesn't mean I think we should give up Fusion research. I just think that if we want to get cheap, clean and reliable power today, then solar, wind and MSRs are probably the most sensible options, not fusion.

I think a big part of the despair is the obvious difference between what children are taught is the american dream vs what the american reality is.

We are told america is the best place on earth with all the doors open to you to be rich. That all other forms of government are flawed and we have excellence here everywhere you look.

And then you look at reality and see something else. Sure there are pockets of excellence and the dream still lives in fits and starts, but for the general person, they are likely shut out from any real hope of this grand vision.

You add in COVID and the lockdowns, and economic turmoil, and then people start realizing that the whole race is kind of pointless. I can be poor busting my butt at a crappy job i hate, or i can be poor moving in with family and being 'unproductive' (for some definition of societal unproductivity).

Women, on the other hand, haven't been given the same advertising on the American dream that men have, which obviously is a terrible thing, but in this one sense probably helped them survive and prosper even when life sucks in a modern world.

I'm supposing the sell-job of an equivalence of the 'american' dream in other countries is not nearly so commercial, and blaring. And so kids are likely not so shocked at the difference between expectations and reality. Throw in that many other countries are flat out better in many social structural ways, and i think that explains why, it's especially troubling in America.
For questions like this

> Who supports the product once it's released? Pager duty? Monitoring email?

and this

> Typical working hours? Flexibility? Crunch times?

In my experience it’s a huge mistake to leave such questions in its vague form as the author has shown in his post, especially if you’re living in a third world country like India where the managers and centre heads often project “getting engineers to work at any hour” as one of their USPs to their bosses, who are - very often - CEO and CTOs in USA and Europe where engineers cost more and often refuse to work absurd hours (rightly so).

Rather ask specific questions like:

- clearly state your intended normal working hours and ask whether there’ll be a problem with that.

- what is the on-call frequency (if there’s one)?

- what is the on-call hours going to be for you whenever that happens?

- Is there a follow the sun policy or not? (It’s a red flag if the product is used around one timezone and engineers mostly live in another, far from it)

- ask whether there’s any requirement to have an app like PagerDuty active for your phone number or needed to installed on your phone and would you be expected to be reachable also during other than your “normal working hours” and your “scheduled on call rotation” whenever that happens?

- The point above is very important - my last manager tried to soft bully/pressurise me into activating pager-duty for my personal number 24x7 saying “anyway the call will be at most 2-3 times a quarter” (and I knew he was probably right) and “others are doing it”. Luckily he was my hiring manager also and I had already discussed all this with him - I confronted him right then!

- ask clear questions about how often you’d be asked to attend “scheduled/recurring” calls out of your normal working hours.

You don’t have to be available 24x7. You must not - under any pretext! You are made to do that only because you end up saying “yes”.

If you can, ask this questions on email preferably to your hiring manager keeping recruiter in CC - at least I do that.

Out of 7 verbal offers I had said yes to (around a year ago) 1 company demurred from issuing the final offer letter after these questions, others were very open and candid about it and didn’t mind at all (at least in the mail).

Goldman Sachs clearly mentioned I’ll be required to be ready whenever needed, others were reasonable, Cisco was semi reasonable but seemed skittish to me, Uber flat out lied which I later found out (and hence I left within a month).

Non-tactical aircraft don't really have radars like this to spot other planes.

TCAS exists and can provide collision warnings and some degree of information on where other aircraft are using secondary radar data, but it's very much a last line of defense.

Both planes are expected to see each other, and they're also expected to hear each other on the radio.
I think it's cool how we occasionally get posts like this on HN
> But would you sleep better at night if you had a daughter, than if you had a son, because of that?

Yes, I am hoping that I have daughters. I do not want a son. I experienced life as a man and have seen what the life of my partners is in comparison. If the girls come out even half as decent looking - they'll coast through life with little guidance needed from me.

I have friends with just daughters - and they all do not envy the parents with boys. They are all feeling blessed to have daughters. I think being a woman has its struggles but the plights are mostly for those in the poor class. If you're upper middle class or above as most people in tech within SV - you can mostly skate by many issues. The issues of a man do not go away regardless of your class - short of being hyper-wealthy.
There's little question that most of SARS-CoV-2's genome evolved naturally in bats, especially the spike given its close identity to BANAL-52. I believe that SARS-CoV-2 is very unlikely to have been derived in a laboratory from any known virus, including RaTG13. I'm not sure how you'd distinguish between a novel naturally-evolved virus and a laboratory chimera of two such viruses, though.

The WIV had the biggest program in the world to sample novel coronaviruses from nature. In DEFUSE, they sought DARPA funding to make chimeras of such viruses, with novel FCSs. That proposal was rejected for safety concerns, but we don't know what work continued with other funders.

https://theintercept.com/2021/09/23/coronavirus-research-gra...

Your links above support the possibility that SARS-CoV-2 is natural. They don't exclude that it's unnatural, though.
> Any detail you put in would be hallucinated and not representative of reality.

A good algorithm will absolutely represent reality, otherwise you would notice that it's not working. It may not reflect the actual reality behind the black hole, but it would remove the whole, making it indistinguishable from what you would think should be behind the hole.

With claims of "the hole is part of the history" aside, it would make these photos much easier to look at, allowing one to focus on the content of the photo, rather than the hole.
Thanks for the explanation.

There is a hypothesis that the virus was modified in a lab by passaging it through transgenic animals that had more human-like respiratory systems. So that could account for its ability to infect humans. I don't necessarily believe that really happened (seems far fetched), but it's there any way to completely disprove that hypothesis?
You can personally challenge that very photo on Wikipedia. You can edit it out with a convincing argument that it's being misrepresented. You even have a citation; you can argue that the citation itself shouldn't be trusted and give a good reason why!

And mods there will listen to well crafted arguments, and commonly do.
This looks promising and useful, but like most ranking factors can be gamed pretty easily.

Imagine a low quality journalism site that caters to both partisan extremes by the simple expedient of giving each audience different intra-site recommendations.

Such a site would simply be relying on the existing filter bubbles to segregate the audiences from each other (and to the extent that those bubbles leak, a "let's you and him fight" strategy would probably work to induce more outrage), and incorporating audience diversity data gives them an extra boost.

You would need the 'partisan diversity' measure to indicate whether readership is spread along the entire partisan spectrum to avoid being fooled by a bimodal distribution. Just measuring variance won't do it.
You would think they would prefer zoom meetings since they aren’t paying for your travel?

Native Americans built walls, too. Physical walls, https://www.brandeis.edu/now/2018/june/wall-maya-trump.html, and complex political geographies (i.e. imaginary walls), https://www.esri.com/news/arcuser/0206/aztec1of2.html In both cases colonizers often built their political systems atop these preexisting walls.

Many of the durable political geographies in the continental United States and Canada seemed to have collapsed (physically and figuratively) as a consequence of introduced diseases before colonizers had a chance to co-opt them, or even recognize their existence. AFAIU, this is partly why American (U.S.) culture developed a narrative of Native Americans as wild and free, savage and innocent. (Though we tend to emphasize the latter--free and innocent--these days.) They absolutely did co-opt political and cultural affinities, though, just as colonizers did elsewhere in the Americas (e.g. Mayans vs Aztecs).
It's exactly like marketing, but the product is you: understand the customer you want, understand the market dynamics, understand the product.

And now i have a wonderful SO and don't have to deal with those awful apps for the time being.
I think easy level coding challenges are a good filter, but not a good way to assess technical skill.

At my previous bigco, I did a collaborative linkedlist problems to understand if they could handle null checks, recursion, checking bounds, etc.

Some people clearly had been practicing LL coding stuff so they flew through it in ten minutes, so I'd just change it a little to make sure they understood what they were doing.

Other folks were deathly nervous and would bumble through it but they'd eventually pass, but they got the same 'score' as the people who did it in five minutes.

Some people couldn't pass it no matter how many hints I gave them, they didn't even really understand loops/recursion. So the filter worked there, and that was the point.

It's other rounds that you can assess the depth of their knowledge moreso than coding challenges.

SARS more deadly and less transmissible. There were plenty of countries that still ended up having enough advance notice, including the United States (Italy was already getting screwed by covid at the time), yet that did it no good.

Plus, we don't exactly trust the Chinese government in the first place, so using it as an excuse just sounds downright lazy.
However! fusion plants are much larger than fission cores, and the neutrons are an order of magnitude more energetic, so you wind up with both way more mass and way higher activation.

I am not convinced that Tesla is making good tradeoffs regarding saftey/driver convenience. But you will notice that the government can force Tesla to "recall" their software to make a full stop at stop signs. You can't do that to human drivers.
You’re not alone. Many religious people cannot fathom that something outside of and independent of their moral system exists. Take the old discussion of atheists as satanists. What is that joke again? “No, we don’t believe in any of your imaginary friends.“
If people here haven't seen it, Casey Muratori's series of interviews on crypto and blockchain are extremely interesting. This video released after the first series of interviews is very important though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbYutOsrpvs

The very foundation of this space, the blockchain, is a poorly understood "innovation" that many outer layers of this industry just seem to take for granted as actually satisfactorily solving the problems it claims to, when it very likely does not and never will.

This post pretty much perfectly reflects their point.

"Arguing for men's rights is bad because it's all about squashing women, otherwise they'd be arguing for women's rights, which is actually just arguing for everyone's rights." This just isn't a reasonable way to frame it at all.

There aren't many places where men have a clear and systematic disadvantage in society, but there are some and arguing that there shouldn't be is not all about conflict.

Agency is just a nominative dignpost for saying that we can't say for certain what somebody's motives are given dome physical measures. That the outcome of a probability function with them as an agent is not deterministic in nature.

In that sense, HAL absolutely has agency. As certain as you to me.
I think ATC has a big question to answer here. Why the hell would you vector a plane to land in the opposite direction of a departing aircraft on the same runway? At any rate, TCAS also has a big part to play in collision avoidance. It's not just up to the pilots scanning visually or manually looking at a radar screen. I wonder if the A350 got an RA or something and pulled up a bit too much in response.

EDIT
Just read it was an uncontrolled airport as i posted this, so i guess ATC is out of the picture.
Initially I thought this was a Chrome extension that users of these sites could install which would automatically redirect them from marketing.com -> app.com (maybe only when they have a login cookie?)

I think if you made such an extension, and maintained a redirect list yourself for popular SaaS sites, that could be a more viable business. It wouldn't be trivial to reproduce because it's dynamic; you're always adding to the redirect list and keeping it up to date. That's a real, small amount of boring work that can't easily be automated away and people might be willing to pay to outsource.

Good luck either way!

So many moments in this prose. Here are the last three paras, for example:

>A 1978 article in the industry publication National Hog Farmer suggested producers consider the sow “a valuable piece of machinery whose function is to pump out baby pigs like a sausage machine.”

> “Under that mind-set, the industry went, no pun intended, hog wild into moving pigs into gestation crates,” says Matthew Prescott, senior director of food and agriculture for the Humane Society, who has been focused on eliminating the crates since 2002.

> Mr. Icahn’s interest in McDonald’s doesn’t extend to eating its products (his tastes run more toward vodka martinis and penne pasta). He thinks he ate at McDonald’s once, roughly 20 years ago.

I don't know what I like more: "like a sausage machine", "hog wild", or "he thinks he ate at McDonald's once, roughly 20 years ago".
The complication is that what's been leaked just can't be used by anything trying to be legit because it was not released in any official manner & so it's license isn't at all clarified even though it's a pre-release copy from the AOL era which some would say it's abandonware. Plenty saw the publicly posted screenshots of partial headers from the source files on twitter that were being used to prove it was a real leak which I unfortunately was greeted to on opening a DM (which I wasn't happy about) otherwise everything else gleaned was taken from others observations at the time.

With the clear demise of 'classic' Winamp with the whole 'set the tone' & seemingly nft related crap the new lot are now going for, what was leaked still equates to what's gone to the new owners (which was one of my pre-sale tasks) so it's into the messy state of who has recourse against it being leaked.

As for the issue, I don't remember there being anything specific that is in place to make it intentionally block system closing unless it's taking too long &/or it's crashing. I don't have the Winamp core handling that aspect of the running process with the current preview build (& the beta builds barely let the Winamp core do anything with it being able to run without it with some missing features) so the best way to find out if it behaves would be to try it out as a portable install so it doesn't mess with your existing Winamp install.

> I’ve been to POS terminals that had one but not other.

They are very, very similar that this surprises me. Apple/Google pay implement the same standards as wireless cards and it should Just Work(TM) everywhere the cards can be accepted. Obviously real life and 'should' don't always marry up.

But it was one of the big drivers of acceptance of the tech in most places - the infrastructure is already there! You probably don't even need to update the firmware on your reader!

> including the one made by the company at center of article.

Sure, but my point is that I believe that's deliberate, because they want you to use the contactless payment capability of your phone. I don't doubt there are other cards out there without the capability, I just think the apple one isn't a great example.

In addition to the reasons provided, I'd posit two additional contributing factors:

Storing solar power for the night isn't hard. It has been possible to do so for decades with concentrated solar power (CSP). You heath up salt directly with the sun. The hot salt can then drive steam turbines at night.

CSP has been dying for years however because Photovoltaics are cheaper. However, this is largely due to regulation. Solutions are picked based on price per kWh. CSP cannot compete on that with Solar cells. However today government have started modifying regulation so that a premium price is paid to those which can deliver power at night.

CSP projects then become competitive since unlike solar cells they can deliver power at night. In the past CSP projects delivered power the whole day. Now they are increasingly only delivering power at night, thus getting the premium price.

This goes to show that to get desired development in renewable energy it is crucial to get regulation right. Until now, regulation has not properly rewarded projects which can deliver power on demand.

However once that is in place, thermal and cryogenic storage of power will become competitive and be built.
Question. How would you suggest I square your claims about Arab society with the observed fact that every year thousands of girls die in Arab countries from honor killings. And the fact that, as https://www.statista.com/statistics/1019538/mena-arab-respon... shows, in many of these countries, significant minorities think that such killings are justified.

Killing your own child suggests to me that kinship means rather less than it does in Western cultures.
Storage is an issue for the other renewables due to intermittent peak power. Fusion should be able to operate like a traditional power station.
