Work hard, don't be a jerk and you'll be fine.

This doesn’t always work. I have seen plenty of assholes easily climb the ladder, make tons of money while good people are stuck.

Example: A guy was making 60k, his employer spent tens of thousands on tuition so he could get MBA from a world class school. He took a new job a month after getting his MBA, doubling his salary. That is just one example, I have seen more. One of my CTOs mistreated nearly everyone, still kept failing forward. I’ve seen sexist and racist people at top positions. And so on.

This is not to say that one shouldn’t be nice, but to set the expectation that being nice automatically brings rewards. It does not work that way always.
Pelosis (as many of her colleagues in both parties) are guilty of essentially doing insider trading. The fact is that it's not currently illegal.

These guys work for us not the other way around.

Interesting, it looks like most of the liquid gets separated out early on in the process and released downstream(with processing???). Seems like a good opportunity to collect the pee part.
In my mental model of a digital financial ledger, it just looks like a table of transfer events, e.g. {timestamp, from_acct=A, to_acct=B, balance_delta=V}.

Which, yes, tracks the counterparty balances as well as your own. But it's not double entry per se. Each transfer only has its data in one place; there's no second corresponding entry in the table looking like {timestamp, from_acct=B, to_acct=A, balance_delta=-V}. You don't need that second entry; you can already do everything you need with just the one. (E.g. someone's current balance is the sum of the balance_deltas for which they're the receiver, minus the sum of the balance_deltas for which they're the sender.)

Are you suggesting there's a point in having rows in corresponding pairs like this? If so, what is it? (If it's data integrity, IMHO that should be guaranteed at a lower level, with cryptographic checksums et al.)
I think that's a great approach - do you have any interest in sharing the overall interview process?
I run a job board for companies that don't do LeetCode interviews and could get Aserto added to it!
The X-Wing was very different from these concepts. The X-Wing flew with a single fixed main rotor with blowers to attach the flow via the Coanda effect. The S-97 uses two conventional contra-rotating rotors. The X-wing was much more radical whereas the S-97 configuration has been in production usage for decades in the Kamov helicopters.

that sounds like me, Im probably older than you.

You might realize in the grand scheme of the universe everyone is meaningless no matter the impact. After a generation or two, almost everyone is forgotten.

Do what makes you happy (not always easy to know what that is).

My dad used to say dont bother to do something if you cant be the best. For me, I do things while they are fun (learning phase) and then I move on before the mastery phase.

Ive known some amazing, brilliant, and successful people. I do ok and dont sweat it. The happiness killer is comparing yourself to other people.
You win HN for today...
Solar is, without a doubt, a major part of future energy grids.

But this chart is the levelized cost of energy. Its not the price at which you can get it. Energy demands are higher in winter. They are non trivial at night. The cost of energy might be low, but the price at which you can get it may be very high if not enough is available.
I can believe journalist wages are not growing though your source in eight years old.

The thing about bagel recipes seem to be about trade secrets not labor supply restrictions. How to make bagels is not a secret. I checked the sources the Wikipedia article cites and none of them mentions anything about secret recipes.
No. My wife is paraplegic and we did in fact test a rudimentary exoskeleton at one point.

The reason they don't work is because the mobility she misses the most is the ability to transport a cup of coffee from the coffee maker to her desk, or the ability to go for a jog. It's the little things that have the biggest impact, and no one is going to don an exoskeleton to wear around the house.

Furthermore, the drive to overengineer mobility solutions crashes headlong into the world of manual wheelchairs. Manual wheelchairs are like road bikes: the best ones are the smallest, lightest-weight ones (often made from the same parts and materials). They have as few parts as possible, can turn on a dime, and can be lifted one-handed into the passenger seat of a car.

A walking device of some sort might be a better equivalent to an electric wheelchair for someone with quadriplegia, hemiplegia, muscle spasms, or generalized weakness, but here you have the problem that many electric wheelchair users are at high risk of pressure sores. There's a reason that electric wheelchairs have all sorts of fancy recliner features: sit in any chair for 16 hours a day without the ability to shift around and you're going to do some pretty serious damage to whatever your weight is resting on. An exoskeleton necessarily holds you in a more upright position, putting more weight on fewer body parts.

The solution to the access problem is to build ramps and lifts.
Why wouldn't you view a billionaire that is specifically focusing on electing right wing candidates through the left vs right lens?
> I don't get why everyone seems so hung up on the interview.

Because if you need a job, the wild asymmetry between you and the interviewers.

You have to be ON for that short time and ready to deal with questions like what you got about "best vacation" or in the next question code a red-green tree implementation, followed seconds later by describing a full scale cloud architecture.

All of that in an hour.

And if you falter anywhere along the line, they reject you and you worry about how you will feed and clothe yourself and your family.
They don't even have to be that savvy. I worked for a company that got bought out and the new owners were terrible. The CEO was a friend of the owner, had no experience in the sector at all so he brought in consultants to tell us everything that was wrong with this profitable enterprise, the redundancies and cost-cutting started and people who had been there for years started jumping before they were pushed or just literally stopped working altogether and waited for their redundancy offer. The company started losing money, more cost cutting, that spiral.

The Glassdoor reviews reflected all of this - generally positive until change of ownership, then a steep downhill. This was a while ago and I don't think the new management were even aware of Glassdoor to start off with, but somebody must have showed them because all of a sudden as soon as somebody posted what sounded like a very genuine negative review there would be a corresponding one that was just so glowing they were comical.

This was around the time of the Trip Advisor scandal, after which they quietly dropped the "reviews you can trust" slogan. The two things have stuck in my mind together ever since.
I recently stumbled upon this site and have enjoyed using it to discover historical markers in my area and explore ones from other cities. Some examples:

Tragically, the feature has apparently been patched.
Updates don’t mean that we should expect to trash the existing computer and buy this year’s model. It’s like cars, new models come out each year but most people don’t trade in every year.
As Arthur Clarke (IIRC) once wrote that Catholicism and Christianity carried an internal time-bomb in the words "God made Man in His own image".

The questions then being "Did God make Aliens in His own image also? What if they are completely different from us? Which Image of God is the correct one? Did God send Jesus down to save the Aliens also? Did the Aliens require 'saving', or were they sinless? If they were sinless can we say that the Aliens are more worthy than us?"

The different between an Atheist and a <member of the religion of your choice> is that the Atheist disbelieves in only one more god that the <member of the religion of your choice>. So a Catholic might disbelieve in 381 'pagan' gods, but if he becomes an Atheist he now disbelieves in 382 non-existent gods.
How many of those dozen things are still up an running?
I really don't agree. Just look at the history of Disney, and Walt himself.

Disney has a history of promoting socially conscious narratives and trying to promote peace and harmony. It's kitsch, but look at the message of 'It's a small world'. This is what Disney has always been about, from promoting animal welfare and an appreciation of the natural world, to telling stories of people from a variety of races and cultures and focusing on what should unite us.

The other thing that Disney is (and has always been) about, is pushing the boundaries of the visual arts. You might not see Disney films as art, but one goal of Disney from the very earliest days has been to change your mind.
What an incredibly cynical take. Perhaps if abundant and easy to harvest free energy existed in the sky, we would have abundant cheap ways to capture it? The issues are more profound than rich people want to keep the poor people down.

I don't get why you and many other commenters are so against the idea of fusion. Solar is decent, not perfect by any stretch, so we should just give up trying to solve the energy technology for the next 200 years? It's not even like it's one or the other. No one is abandoning solar to work on fusion. But fusion, if it works, is orders of magnitudes more efficient than solar is. It opens avenues that are considered impossible and science fiction today.

It's like being back in the 1700s and arguing that research into petrol is a waste of time. I absolutely do not understand this mindset.
Are there a lot of stay at home dads? I personally don't know any. I don't believe that's a large societal trend. I agree it would be a good thing if it were that way, but I don't see any indication to think that

It would benefit the discourse on this subject a great deal if these stories were subject to having their headlines edited, or if there were a sticky comment summarizing the actual substance of the “breakthrough.”

A great deal of VC money is going into nuclear fusion at the moment, and there is obvious interest in creating the impression that economically viable fusion reactors are just around the corner. It would be prudent to guard against the efforts of publicists and PR professionals by providing context.
Other European countries use ~230V as well and have smaller plugs than the UK.

The UK has fuses in their plugs, which if I recall correctly had something to do with copper shortage during the war constraining the electrical cabling for houses, but I don't want to accidentally put wrong information out, so better look it up yourself.
That is false, you can read the raw memory for any other process running under your uid. /proc/<PID>/mem

You can also ptrace the process and completely control its execution.
You don't even need to be savvy. I worked for a company that turned out to be really scummy in a number of ways. To combat the terrible ratings on Glassdoor they implemented the most obvious fake review process possible where every week two employees would have to create an account and write a positive review. Of course the reviews people wrote were obvious fakes, just a line of two of meaningless platitudes. They were posted on a consistent schedule for months while pretty much every review of substance was terrible.

After leaving I flagged the fake reviews and reported them to Glassdoor. Glassdoor did absolutely nothing. I tried reporting them again a few months later and again got nowhere. Last I checked the company's page was still full of blatant fake 5 star reviews.
> Yes, because it's likely your "common knowledge" is a misunderstanding or misrepresentation of reality

Fine, you disagree with me, I'm not putting in any more effort discussing this with you because I don't believe you are arguing in good faith. I'll let the reader of HN decide using their own judgement.

> Ironically this is most of the world's opinion of America.

You keep up bringing up America despite me not mentioning them or even defending the country. This is a classic tactic for derailing conversations.
If you look for a more modern Winamp-like audio player - down to supporting a lot of Winamp plugins - I really recommend AIMP.
> Without notifications, they cannot really be called PWA’s, in my opinion.

Ah yes. "Your opinion".

There's no such thing as "PWAs". There's a dozen or more standards, most of which are supported by Safari. Of course, everyone hails their own subjective subset of those standards as "the one true PWA support".

If Safari ever supports push notifications, there will be some other standard that Safari must support to "properly support PWAs".
Aside from my medicine, I suppose, which I have to arrange in advance. If I want to blow that cash on more clothes and such. Staying in a random hotel.

I just get nothing out of travel. I go there, I stand there looking at $thing. It's a $thing. Hoo-ray.

If the joy of travel comes from what you leave behind, well, most people spend more time not-traveling than traveling, and it would probably behoove them to increase their joy by ridding themselves of whatever it was they typically leave behind.
They're definitely larger, but as I said in a sibling comment they're not directly a result of the higher voltage specifically.

German Schuko is also 230V and even safer (in countries that use it), yet still significantly smaller than British plugs.
> be on par with the one browser that is an order of magnitude more popular, then

So, once again:

- define "on par"

- explain why they need to slavishly copy that one browser without considering whether it's worth doing?

> Would an end user trying to use a web app as if it were native be satisfied?

No, because this is even more ambiguous than "on par".

Example: usb/bluetooth/etc. Native apps use them. Chrome put up some "standards" and rushed to implement them. Both Safari and Mozilla consider these harmful on many, many valid points.

Is this required for a "proper PWA support"? Do they just unquestioningly copy what Chrome does?

So, the more this conversation goes the more I'm convinced you neither know what "PWA support" actually means, nor what Safari actually supports.

> It... Literally does?

I looked it up on Can I Use. It was for desktop versions.

On iOS you can "Add to home screen", too (through the share menu which is now a kitchen sink for everything, not just share)
> In civilised jurisdictions these rules apply to unmarried couples too. The amount of economic violence, historically, perpetrated by men over women has been huge.

I’m guessing we are talking about two different things.

I will also add that, in my circle, women are getting screwed as much by this as men, so “the worm has turned” might better be “be careful what you wish for”.

I largely have no issues with approximately equal division of assets acquired during a marriage.

The two main issues I have are:

1. Determining what counts as an asset.

2. The method of contesting anything in a contested divorce.

For 1, appreciation of any asset counts as an asset that should be divided.

If you came into a marriage with $1 million in ETFs and a $1.5m house free and clear, and those go up to $1.7m etfs and $2.5m house, spouse gets half of $1.7m asset appreciation for…. I struggle to answer this question in a way that us not “being lucky”.

Note that they do not owe half of losses if assets lose value.

Meanwhile, somehow inheritance is treated as largely untouchable money. How does that make sense?

For 2, if a divorce is not amicable, sometimes the party that feels scorned takes a scorched earth approach and basically is willing to give a ton of money to lawyers (“spouse doesn’t get it!”) while also freezing assets.

I’ve seen some very asset rich people be cash poor because their former spouse just wouldn’t let them sell anything, even when they split the proceeds. This was just nothing other than malice. Sure, you can go to court to force them to let you sell for cash, but this is just another example of a pathological aspect of our current system.

This aspect can also create complications in things like limited partnerships and other businesses in which it can be really hard to assign values to the asset and even harder divide the value of the asset without simultaneously destroying that value.

Pre-nups can help, but they largely make the outcome slightly more certain while still leaving much to be contested via litigation if the party that feels scorned chooses to do so.

I know a lot of these rules are in place because of the historical economic shenanigans that men have subjected women to, but that doesn’t mean that the system is reasonable, fair, or not pathological for certain (perhaps many or even most) cases.

No one likes competitive coworkers. I've heard of some being fired for being too competitive.

I've also had a manager being very competitive against us people reporting to him. He always tried to monopolise interesting projects, fully control standups such as telling us who goes next who does what. Disregard important pieces of work done by other team members because he didn't contribute in it and take credit for other people's work. Intentionally hire lower skilled candidates so he can be "top" one in the team... One of the main reasons I left that job, don't be like that guy.
I doubt that they would use a screen smaller than the 13” but they might shrink the bezels enough to get the overall package pretty close to the size of the 12” MacBook.

I had that 11.5” Air and it was my main computer for several years. Amazing performance for such a tiny thing. Mostly connected to an external display when at home.
how many of the questions asked in the interview actually apply to their jobs? if you know of an example where it's really helpful to write a sorting algorithm correctly in 15 minutes, could you share it? :D
This is a very poor attempt at a strawman, nobody thinks that Twitter is where scientific research is funded or conducted. Its role in the process is that of the stick, not the carrot. When people, including scientists, make statements or publish results that challenge certain political narratives, users on Twitter will harass, boycott and/or dox that person, their family, and their employer, leading to a climate of fear and the inability to have open and honest discussion on a number of topics.

Q=1 just means that the plasma is putting out more energy then is put in. However, that doesn't mean you can recover all of that energy; you can't run a heat engine at millions of degrees, so energy generation has to be fairly indirect, which means you need about Q=30 to handle all the various conversion inefficiencies and still come out net positive enough to be practical.

I expect it varies a lot from school, region, accrediting body, etc., but I worked for a school administration and taught as an adjunct for a spell and mostly the teachers themselves decided the books and were approved so long as the cost was reasonable and the books were easily available. A free textbook published independently would actually have more or less been automatically approved. it was a small school of a few hundred students focused on humanities. YMMV.
BeyondCorp is dead, long live BeyondCorp
When I said unskilled, I meant to distinguish the OP's carpenter son from unskilled jobs. I don't think there has ever been a time before 1945 when the average man was a skilled laborer. A liner worker in a factory or farm-hand isn't skilled labor. For most of history, those people were exploited.

Craftsman usually had a decent living because it took training and there was generally demand. But if you train twice as many electricians, its not like there will be twice as many electrician jobs created. So learning a craft or trade is a great personal strategy, but it not a solution we can universally apply.

I do think we force way too many people into college-track for little benefit and quite a bit of harm.
> Not to be flippant, but have you seen somebody try this and fail or be stopped? What would be the purpose of the group?

I've not tried that exact thing but I have tried twice carefully to bring attention to mens day at work.

I stopped doing it and I probably won't do it again; it's just a simple way to get some mockery thrown at oneself even at the generally very civil place where I work.
They are pretty impressive machines. The loadable microcode store is especially interesting, they allow you to emulate an arbitary CPU. Diagnostics in 'IBM' mode was a real possibility on these!
In my experience, electric burners are also plenty hot, just slower. I think when he uses the word "crummy", he means, regular, consumer equipment. I learned to cook on an electric range and have used them off and on for years. It's not as nice as a gas or induction cooktop, but it's fine. I've made plenty of good meals on them, steak included.

Incidentally, if I can't grill a steak my favorite method is to heat a cast iron pan under the broiler until it's quite hot, then place the steak in the pan. It sears on the bottom and begins to cook on the top from the broiler. Then you can remove it and finish it on the stove if need be, flipping it to sear the other side.
I did a poll on Twitter a couple days ago, and 100% of my colleagues that replied to it are still working from home. It is mainly infosec and developers in my circle.
