Frugality is a leadership principal there. But on a serious note Amazon is a large employer meaning that this could just be a coincidence.
I have a 2nd gen Prius. You can generally use the EV button to prevent the motor from turning on.

Perhaps unrelated, but when turning on the engine for the first time in a while the Prius will burn gas to heat up the engine. You can prevent that too by pressing the EV button right after pressing the power button. (Or maybe you can hold it down while pressing the power button?) Not sure if it works all the time.
This one surprised me the most:

I have to disagree.

It's not the dark art that makes Dark Souls unique. It's the combination of deep lore that isn't fully explained or explainable in the game, world building that somehow finds a way to look and feel extremely realistic and fitting while being dreamlike and fantastical at many points, a story that couldn't care less if you followed it, NPCs building an inescapable spell on your mind with 3 lines of non-sensical dialogue, and dark art that underlines and brings all those things together.

There certainly aren't many games like that out there. I'd wager very few to nine, to be honest.

On the contrary, there are boatloads Soulslike games out there that imitate the gameplay (including the difficulty and risk of death) that cannot even be mentioned with being in the same league as the original Souls games. If anything, in the year 2022 it's the Souls gameplay that's "generic" while the rest of the game is still unique in every sense of the word.
I think the startup has to genuinely care to begin with. And often they just don't have the expertise to realise what they're falling short on.
In private industry, the owner(s) takes on the losses of such people who get paid doing nothing. With enough losses, the owners will run out of capital and go bust.

In public service (and academia i guess, which is often funded publicly), the "owners" don't get a choice and have to eat a loss - it's not as if i can stop paying my taxes. A gov't does not go bust.
This is part of the general trend in robots summed up roughly like:
1. Corporations want to save money and are willing to spend up front for it. People will replace personal vehicles far more slowly.
2. A restricted environment is way easier to engineer a robot for vs. arbitrary environments.
3. It is easier to train workers about working around heavy machinery than to teach arbitrary humans to look both ways before crossing the street.
4. It is way easier to get permission on privately owned land than to convince the government for a state or nation wide laws.

I work in autonomous drones and see similar trends in that space too.
You summed it up better than me, I agree with 99% of what you said :)

The dictionary. Specifically, a large one on a pedestal stand in the children's section of my local library.

I looked up my name, as one is wont to do as a child, and saw next to “Don,” an entry which read “Don Quixote, see Quixote, Don.” Wow! There was something with my name in it and it had a Q and an X! I, of course, turned to the Qs, read the entry, not only for “Quixote, Don” but also for “quixotic” and “quixotism” and thought, “I like the idea of being quixotic.”

I then, read the bowdlerized children's version of Don Quixote that they had in the children's section and returned to the book many times over the years that followed.

One day in high school, a friend who had graduated came by to visit the band teacher and had a book in his hand that he was reading, Monsignor Quixote by Graham Greene. He described it as “Don Quixote is a Catholic priest and Sancho Panza is the communist ex-mayor of El Toboso.” I went to the library the next day and checked out their copy of the book and loved it. I proceeded to read every book that the library had by Graham Greene and became imbued with his world view (it probably helped that I was inclined in that direction already) and it gradually led to my becoming Catholic 7 years later. My love of Greene also influenced me in becoming a writer (something to which I was already inclined) and he and J. D. Salinger are the two most obvious influences in my writing to this day.

When searching bugs and error codes, it's super important to get the latest solutions, not the ones that were written like 6 years ago and don't work today. Adding that info the UI is crucial.
Overall it should be entirely doable to complete this in 30 to 60 minutes,

This is ludicrous of course. There no way you can sanely expect someone to answer 37 open-ended / largely interpretive questions of this sort in 30 minutes. Or even 90.
>The law is to be limited in its application by the police officers to situations they deem dangerous.

Considering one of the current complaints against police is poor discretion as to what counts as a "dangerous situation" (e.g. going for lethal force against unarmed citizens), that seems intentionally rife with opportunities for abuse.
"Mastering Regular Expressions" by Jeffrey Friedl. While reading Dreamweaver 3 Bible I became intrigued by the Find And Replace options which included regular expressions. At the end of the chapter was a reference to Friel's classic and I found a copy in a local London library. That led me to "Programming Perl" by Larry Wall and the beginning of my career as a developer. The O'Reilly Perl collection is unsurpassed to this day.

A really good way to generate lots of torque from a stop is an electric motor. You could use a combination of gasoline motors at speed with electric to start to get this same combination.
I find it crazy how many people like working with git from the command line and just use -a any chance they get.

I never commit from CLI and have been using GitHub Desktop for years (it works on any repo/remote). Selecting individual files, patches, or even lines is a breeze. I usually make a bunch of changes, then pick, commit, branch, repeat. Every branch is based off `main` and can be pushed independently. Any leftover will just be dropped (any logging/testing lines that I never picked, for example)

Using a UI makes it easy to review your changes before you commit them, there’s no way you can review (and pick or discard) your 100-lines 5-files changes effectively on the command line.

GitHub Desktop is quite limited and I hope it stays that way, I still use the cli for operations other than commit and checkout.

According to the article, the truck drivers act all indignant that they are not allowed to idle their trucks and that citizens can report that behavior and cause fines to be issued.

Did these people forget that operating a motor vehicle is a responsibility and privilege, not an unlimited right, that their behavior has consequences for the general public (externalities like air pollution, collisions), and that they are required to follow the law when operating their vehicle?
Yeah his claims about good and bad are too unconditional and generic. He always looks at it from his specific vantage point and then declares something categorically bad which ticks me off cause its so dogmatic and lacking of contextuality.
How is my comment the only comment saying:

Yes. From what I gather you wouldn't use commercial grade chips, the standard epoxy encapsulation doesn't work well at crazy temperatures and pressures. Ceramic/metal packages are preferred.

I used to work for a company that made VPN routers for one of the largest pump producers. I wasn't aware of any vulnerabilities in our part of the solution. Which doesn't mean there weren't any of course.

Still there is a lot more there than a VPN router. Lots of software and likely plenty of bugs.
> I was raised an an observant Catholic household, and I went every week from ages 5-19 and missed only a few times due to illness. But I never believed, I just don't have a spiritual bone in my body. None of what you quoted from Solomon about the impermanence of our material acquisitions sounds profound -- it seems obvious.

I had a similar upbringing. I attended Catholic schools until college. And the whole time it all just struck me as pageantry. I perceived that it was very real for many of the others, but to me it was as you imply.

Thank God the scales fell from my eyes. Interestingly it was not preaching, but my meditations on the three normative sciences that convinced me of the necessity of God. I realized that culturally Christian atheists conception of ethics is just a more or less attenuated Christian one that will continue to wither as any plant cut from its roots will. I further concluded that the same holds for the other two normative sciences. This was so unsatisfactory to me that I had an epiphany.
Don't you think that would be due to his blogging platform being down?
I've never heard of any onboarding script like this, though. I'd personally also take this badly and be wondering how the company made it through my interview.

Sleeping on a futon (thick blanket, not a mattress) on the floor is pretty typical. Apparently bed vs floor is about half and half (blue is floor and red is mattress in this chart). [1]

I assume parent was talking about futons on tatami which don’t compare well with mattresses, more like cushions on a soft floor.
Putting dry ice in the coolers should do it. Stuff's so cold that if you don't separate food container from dry ice with newspapers or cardboard, the food container gets frozen.
This is a great example for something that I always advocate: Don’t react to early responses on a HN thread. Wait a few hours (a day?) to really have a feeling of what people are saying as a community.

In this follow up she is answering a lot of negative comments about her first post. Trashing HN while doing it. But then you take a look at that thread today:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23280610

I did a quick review of the top root comments (i.e. the most upvoted ones, the ones the HN, as a community, mostly thinks represents their opinion). The first 6 or 7 are fully supportive of her take, empathizing with horrible onboarding processes, saying they would do the same as her. Then comes a couple of comments mentioning how she is getting flak and referring to a lot of top-level negative comments. This shows that (obviously) she wasn’t delusional addressing negative comments, they were there at the top a few hours after the post was published. But, again, these comments were supportive of her, saying the negative comments were unfair. Then it comes more 5 or 6 posts still supportive or neutral or orthogonal to the point.

Then, only the 14th root level comment is a truly negative one (one that she addressed in her follow up). And, for me, 14th is too far down to matter. Or to represent what HN is as a community.

This shows to me that HN, as a community, was fully supportive of her text, her tone, her take, and her actions. This is the reaction that was overwhelmingly more upvoted by all. Only temporarily felt like the opposite.

That’s why I always wait a day to really grasp what’s the overall reaction of HN as a community to any particular post (if I happen to care about such opinion).
The thing is, Europe, where the environment is a significant consideration, also builds subways (and other things) at significantly faster speeds and lower cost than the US.

If you look in any detail, it's not a matter of some magic the Chinese or whoever have, it's matter of the corrupt nexus of interests that have come to soak up any transit spending in the US, in particular.
Finally, advice I can manage
> Sometimes organizations improve because they want to

or that there's an alternative reason for their action other than maximal profit.

There's darwinian natural selection at work in the private sector (where reproduction can be taken to mean profit). Such a force doesn't exist in gov't funded entities providing a service. That doesn't mean there's no force to make those services improve - it's just not the darwinian natural selection force (may be a politician decides to make it his/her objective to improve XYZ as a promise for votes).
For older diesels, it is more efficient to leave them running than turning them off and restarting them. And I am talking OLD diesel trucks that have indirect injection systems. They'll smoke a hell of a lot more than just letting them idle.

Still turn them off if you don't need it running. Most modern diesels 2004+ are way more efficient in this regard in consumer vehicles and modern diesel trucks are better than they used to be.
Fair enough, but how is this discrepancy between wages and GDP explainable?

How would the US behave if it had Wahhabist extremists near one of its borders? We've only seen how the US responded to some 6000 miles away in Afghanistan, most of them were brutally executed, not deradicalized or reeducated.

Can anyone explain to me how Amazon gets away with calling these a “signing bonus”? It seems very near to an outright lie to use that name to describe a payment that is only given after you’ve proven yourself at your job for some period of time.
Once, before 1990 or.so diesel engines were hard to start cold. You either left them running or plugged them into the wall so the heater instead could keep them warm. It wasn't unusual to leave a truck running all day because otherwise it wouldn't start in winter. In Russia they often built bon fires under their trucks in the morning. I know of tractors that have a gas engine just to start them, which also worked, the gas engine would run at full speed for a few minutes until the engine would finally run.

Not that the above is historical. Modern batteries are much better. Direct injection engines start almost as fast as gas engines these days.
If you're traveling, a quick stop at an EV station is an hour long. It's not all pink skies.
You don't need to run an 8 liter V8 diesel to keep a small fridge with icecream cold.

It can run off of a battery bank or the built in accumulator. Well insulated fridges are pretty efficient
> It's one day. Often not even a whole day. If that's the worst process in your office...

I agree that it's a win if you only ever have one bad day in the office and it's only downhill from here.

But if you could, say, not have this bad experience, wouldn't that be even better? Isn't it good to share this experience so that, even if their own employer doesn't take the hint, others might?
No they don't. Typical bureaucratic examples:

Your comment seems unreasonable to me. What exactly does it mean to enjoy things to you?

Sure, it's physically possible to read any part of Ulysses as there are no physical barriers but for what gain? You're not going to pull any enjoyment out of reading the last few pages of Ulysess. The non existing barrier is a moot point.

The only way of enjoying the last pages of Ulysess is by enjoying the whole thing. And to enjoy Ulysess, you havr to put in your time and go through hoops that aren't usual for most other books. I feel like it's very disingenuous to say that the only reason you haven't read Ulysess is bc you didn't enjoy it. Enjoying Ulysess contains enjoying going the extra mile for it.

How is that different from the Souls games?
It depends on the context. If you are on a bus and someone randomly stands and shouts Allahu Akbar, it would strike terror into those around them, so yes they could be a sort of terrorist, even if they aren’t actually about to blow themselves up.

But if you’re in a mosque, it’s not unusual to hear it exclaimed.

It's a very small number, unfortunately -- infractions like these are among the cities lowest priorities, despite their outsized impact on quality of life.

This isn't the only virtuous revenue stream that the city throws away: it's an open secret that parking violations are basically unenforced for companies, and that the city will happily agree to cents on the dollar once you've racked up a few thousand violations.
Frank Herbert only wrote six books. You only have to read them in order of publication.

i agree that is disturbing but it is not what i was referring to, sorry I meant excess old people - age demographics - not excess men.

based on projections china's population peaked ~last year. it is a shrinking population from here, and while this will be a huge problem in most of the world (see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30735230 discussed recently) but it is happening MUCH sooner in china, and at an unprecedented scale.

it is an existential threat and i am sure their government sees this, and it is scary to think what an "ends justify the means" way of thinking leads to with this problem
I've always thought the words were essentially identical. An atheist or an agnostic can be sure that the God of Abraham doesn't exist and also be sure that the world doesn't ride on the back of a turtle. But both agnostic and atheist would be open to changing their minds if there was new evidence of either.
