There is an alternative to "wasting" money to give a second gold vein. You can just do the cash cow thing and then die. That's a totally reasonable. If TomTom don't think they can use the money better than other investment alternatives (that their investors have), then they shouldn't.

Of course, politics and personal interests. But sometimes it's just better to allocate resources to something where they're better utilized.
You build the mine after finding the vein.
That is incredibly shady.

Why not crowd-source it?

All Google needs is an obvious, one-click "spam" button for logged-in users. Clicking should add a site to the user's spam blacklist (which they should be able to review).

They know about what users search for and how those searches overlap and separate users into groups (not to mention all the individual details they have access to). When sites are marked as spam by enough different types of users, those sites can then be manually reviewed and their content blacklisted by Google preventing the same or very similar sites with a different URL from appearing.

Unfortunately, Google makes a lot of money from these ad/spam sites, so they have a perverse incentive to keep allowing them.

I'm quite biased here, having been in a few ventures that got absorbed by PE; "Vulture Capital" is being kind, and I maintain that I'd love to see PE as a category, regulated into oblivion.

But the market writ large is mostly fine. PE I find trash.
Okay. lets start with the easy analysis; the version of the game that terminate after only one switch.

I[null] = {0.5: A, 0.5: 2A}

We get the expected change in EV for switching like this:

(
# The expected gain of switching if we are in subgame A
(2A-A) * 0.5

+

# The expected loss of switching if we are in subgame 2A
(A-2A) * 0.5
)

See how we had to consider two different subgames? We didn't know whether we had A or 2A. We only knew we had I[null].

You had to consider the benefit of switching from A to 2A and the cost of switching from 2A to A. You had to consider the factual reality you were in, but also the counterfactual reality you were not in.

Here is the reality of the first part of the game tree:

ChanceNode(0.5)
/ \
A 2A

In a perfect information game, A and 2A are disconnected because they are in two different subtrees, but what watch what happens when we convert from the perfect information view to the imperfect information view of that world that we are actually dealing with:

0.5
/ \
I[nil] I[nil]

We have two information sets now as the branches. One is actually A, but when we do reasoning about it we need to counterfactually consider it the other parts of the information set.

0.5
/ \
{Factually A, Counterfactually 2A} {Factually 2A, Counterfactually A}

So I hope you're starting to realize that A and 2A are fundamentally connected. You can't reason about A without including 2A. You can't reason about 2A without including A. This is really really important to one of several reason that their analysis is wrong. You don't know which branch you are in. So you can't condition on being in A, like they do in the wikipedia article.

Look at the trouble they run into when they /do/ condition on A. I just showed you these counterfactuals exist, but when they condition they still exist. It treats the situation as if you can just deal with A and just deal with 2A. So they get a 2A case and a A/2 case both of which have their own counterfactuals. Notice what just happened when they did that.

In the A/2 case since we are in imperfect information there is a counterfactual associated with it. What is that counterfactual? It is A! So they don't just have A/2 they also have counterfactual A.

And now look at the other case. 2A has a counterfactual associated with it too. What is it? A.

So they have this:

[F: A, CF: 2A],
[F: A/2 CF: A]

And what I'm trying to point out to you is that they just declared A=A/2 and 2A=A, because they neglected the counterfactual relationships.

You can't condition on A in the subgame; you don't have perfect information - you don't have A. You have I[null]. Even when you get told 60 you still have I[null].

/A/ isn't 60 and it can't be because you don't know which subgame you are in. A isn't given. If you knew A, if it was possible to know A, you wouldn't be in an imperfect information game. A is defined in point one yes - but it is also used in point seven and when it is used there we get the logical contradiction.

I do feel the decline as I get older. A few reasons I believe are the reasons -

- Too much information overload. I consume way too much info and infotainment that are not core to my life or work.

- Not having enough time and bandwidth to work on a project. Life has more competing priorities. And lot more admin work in life - especially in the US where you cannot outsource anything - physical or mental chores.

- Also agree with your last theory to an extent - or at least accepting my limitations more now instead of trying to "self-improve" everything. We are all led to believe we need to be a supreme individualist generalist. There is no community or mentors to rely on.

- Expectation of perfection on everything. So stuck without much progress.
I suspect, to the degree we ever actually know, that a lot of seemingly sensible interventions and behaviors may have made some difference at the margins--and if people had done nothing outcomes would almost certainly have been worse. But vaccinations and improved treatments aside, it seems fairly clear there weren't silver bullets.

As a security engineer, I always cringe when anything involving containers is referred to as "serverless".

I always thought that one of the advantages of going serverless was that you didn't have to worry about keeping the underlying operating system up-to-date. No needing to do a monthly "sudo apt update && apt upgrade" or whatever. But containers throw that all away when container images enter the world.

Instead of updating your operating system, you're updating your images...and it's basically the same thing.

i guess there's one situational intersection, alluded to by @randbox, between the tragedy of the commons and economic rents, which is when someone (illegally) takes control of the commons and literally charging rents for assets they don't actually own.

offhand, i can't think of a practical and contemporary example of this though.

I'm not complaining that the people in the office are getting promoted faster. Far from it, I hope they get something for all that wasted time.

However I know how promotions tend to go in most companies, and 9/10 you are better off interviewing at another firm and getting promoted that way on a hours worked/pay received basis. With that knowledge I see this as a rather empty incentive.

A conference room full of people is a nightmare for remote meetings - audio quality is horrendous and it’s very hard to make out what people in the speakerphone setup are saying.

Unless the meeting is primarily in person with a few remote participants - then those get left out and have trouble catching up.

Oh, I just realized what I missed. You can use the ratio, but if you do you need to take the geometric mean, since it is a multiplying factor. The geometric mean of 2 and 0.5 is sqrt(2 * 0.5) or 1. So the expected ratio is 1.

First of all - things change, you aren't the person you were in the past (this isn't a good or bad thing, it's just what happens).

Some things will decline, but what declines in one person will differ to another.

Some things will improve, importantly your knowledge base will improve (a good knowledge base is an older coder's superpower).

Before comparing your problem solving abilities with your past-self have a look at what your past-self was doing. I suspect that when you look back at it you'll find that the problems they were solving were simpler problems, had a narrower scope or ran in more stable environment.

I dropped graduate research into adversarial algorithms and generative adversarial networks when I realized instead of being paid beans to do something genuinely interesting I could get paid 6 figures to make business software and do whatever I want with my free time. Like so many other potential promising academic software engineers, I had a family to raise and a life to live. No kidding science needs more research software engineers, but that isn't going to change until science can pay software engineers at least a basic minimal income. When that changes I'll considering picking up where I left off.

I am fond of UML diagrams for the programming part
and UML or ER for the database schema.

There are a lot of great tools that can reverse engineer

I find them quite helpful.

If someone has taken care to keep up UML diagrams, and I can grab the blessed ones with more context that is great.

Ask HN: 20% pay reduction when moving out of Bay Area. Is this normal?

Is this a normal cost of living reduction? Is that bay are that expensive?

A patch is declarative in that it's an idempotent command which requires you to fully define the patch. It's still something that is being manually defined rather than contained in a file to be applied. Of course, if that file is just being locally held and modified on someone's laptop instead of committed to version control, it's a moot point.

I will grant you that `kubectl delete -f` breaks my argument, since it's imperatively modifying objects given a declarative manifest. Re: changes via stdin, I mean sure; you can also pipe a deployment manifest into `ex` or `sed` to make changes on the fly and then echo it back to `kubectl apply -` but I wouldn't recommend it.
As someone who finished their bachelors in their 30's, I think you're completely right about this. Every day you put off college/grad school makes it a bit harder to get back into it.

In grad school now I feel like I'm playing a perpetual game of catchup; I have a mortgage and whatnot to pay, so I have to work full time, meaning I have to spend hours every night studying. If I had done school before I was too entrenched in anything, it would have been much easier. On the plus side, at least I don't have to worry about student loans, since I go to a public university and have a decent salary.

Per capita, the US ranks 25th [0] in car ownership. Though admittedly this is 10 year old information. Somewhat newer data ranks the US higher, but I still see some claims that Germany has higher per-capita car ownership than the US. But in either case, it's not a clear cut answer.

I don't understand this logic. Test things that are public. You made them public for a reason. Those are what your class says it will do. Confirm it does what it says it will do and you're done with testing.

I'm not sure I've ever used the "internal" keyword in 12+ years of C#. Assemblies are about deployment; public/private is about the contract your code is agreeing to. They have nothing to do with each other, so internal is an inappropriate conflation of concepts, by definition.

Great article! The needles formed a passive repeater, which would be a cheap alternative to a comsat. To me, the more interesting part of the article was the history of exo-atomospheric nuclear testing and the consequences to the satellites that were operating in that era.

It's also interesting that the scientific community's objections to further launches actually had an effect. That doesn't seem to be the case anymore -- at least not with Starlink.
> I am baffled as to why academic institutions aren't failing to recruit

Because academics (hi!) aren't in it for the money. If you value making lots of money, or having work-life balance, then academia isn't for you (nor is social work, teaching, nursing, fine art, etc.). But this probably makes it hard to hire RSEs who aren't academics masquerading as software engineers...

I have no experience with tom tom but I was a garmin user, and I got the sense that tom toms were pretty much identical. IMO an integrated tom tom into the car, if it performs as well as the external unit, would be amazingly better than your cell phone. The biggest advantage imo is satellite coverage is much better than quality data network coverage. I'm not even talking about in the boonies. Plenty of times in the middle of LA county I am sitting there waiting on a seemingly stalled LTE connection to render a map I supposedly had already cached locally according to google maps.
This is more true in Europe, though, than many people seem to think. Car ownership around the world is very common.
Sounds funny. Any given search should return as few items as feasible (say, to populate the window) and keep in memory a way to locate the next batches instead of materializing in memory all hits and their locations like the article describes.
