It's not like they're gonna try to get US courts to force you to use the new name. Generally what happens is they ask all the international institutions like UN to refer to them as Türkiye, then the media might pick up on it, so you'll see the new name used more and more often, until at some point it maybe catches on in casual speaking.
As explained elsewhere, the fees are contingent. You’re not paying the 50k at all, unless something unexpected happens, in which case you’re suddenly paying 50k which you were told wasn’t going to be your problem.

But it’s really bad that it’s ok for lawyers to basically encourage you to rack up contingent lawyer expenses. It’s just a toxic system.
There is a certain amount of evidence that if enough people start using the arbitration clauses, companies start reconsidering them and returning to standard class-action clauses. Companies for a long time were using arbitration in no small part precisely because nobody knew how to do it. But every person who goes through the process learns how to do it, and even if they start with Company X, that makes it that much easier to go after Company Y later. So over time knowledge is diffusing out. If the arbitration clauses offend you, you can take concrete action to help getting them out of the contracts by using them yourself.

I understand feeling embarrassed but I think sharing your experience with your peers and (perhaps more importantly) their kids could help reduce the stigma, even if just a little.
totally agree! is it because we trust the known (i.e. celebrity faux-experts) over the unknown (i.e. legitimate experts)? For instance, Trump asking voters to place all power in his hands rather than an anonymous administrative class. Is the answer as simple as familiarity breeds trust? Or do we prefer the superficial answers they give us, which we would instinctively reach for, as opposed to the 'shades of grey' answers experts usually provide?

Personally, I interviewed with ARK and quickly walked away once I spoke with the actual analysts on her team. They spewed the same hype-babble she does and lacked an informed view of the industries they covered. Its fine to market the hype if that's what you're selling, but you can't sell yourself on it too.

That means that no solution to the paradox is definitive, but also there is no argument.

Rant about On-Boarding
Hey guys,
Hello world,
I was just wondering, if you guys face the same problem, or am I the only one with this problem.
Basically, I find myself very difficult to get on-boarded or to on-board a new dev in a project. There are many challenges in it, like setting up multiple accounts for various tools around, like, a tool for
- documenting business logic
- API collection
- db design
- UI designs
- store some important files, etc.

I've read this somewhere as well as I feel the same that, on-boarding takes almost 53% of a developers time.
I wanted to just...share the pain and start a discussion around the same (it can be a rant too )

Also, is there any tool which can solve this problem of ours?
Those are pretty good results, although backgrounds end up suffering a lot from the passes.
Student debt is mostly held by the richer half of the US population. Serious question: would it do more good if instead of giving money to people with student debt, you gave money to people without it?

The first test of a potential policy is whether it's better than doing exactly the opposite. If you can't even prove that, it's probably not a good policy.

> this is exactly why we shouldn't do student loan debt forgiveness. The root core of the issue wouldn't at all be addressed

This is a false dichotomy. The root core of the issue should be addressed. However, that would require an act of Congress, whereas federal student loan forgiveness can be accomplished immediately via executive action. This is why people are calling for it now, because it can be done right now. Also, the President promised to do so multiple times during his campaign.

> Universities can charge more, and students can continue to take out larger loans

Universities are already charging more, and students are continuing to take out larger loans despite the lack of forgiveness.
When I send my own children to college, it will be exclusively through extension courses. No frills. A long time professor at Harvard did the same thing for his children and gave me this idea.

I feel strongly that these expectations could well lead to the undoing of Western Civilization.

"...is my child safe..." Perhaps the issue is that the people who go to college these days are still... children?

Care to offer any arguments beyond it being your opinion?

For the record, I first encountered arguments against foreign keys around 20 years ago from a VERY experienced Oracle DBA. He knew what he was talking about, and had actually written some of the courses that Oracle used to certify DBAs. He pointed out that our transactional database for our high volume website was already pushing the limits of what our hardware could do. Maintaining unnecessary indexes or integrity constraints was going to take our database down.

Since then I've kept track. And found that the benefits versus downsides are more finely balanced than I would have guessed.

This comment explains the fundamental reason why the reasoning is incorrect.
I offer the same perspective in a different comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31569991).

In my opinion, the Wikipedia article is making a disservice to readers by mentioning unnecessarily complex mathematical arguments involving bayesian reasoning and infinite distributions. I believe all of these are distractions from the more fundamental typing error that invalidates the switching argument.
>"However, that would require an act of Congress, whereas federal student loan forgiveness can be accomplished immediately via executive action. This is why people are calling for it now, because it can be done right now. Also, the President promised to do so multiple times during his campaign."

I can't be the only one who feels like this is simply 'buying votes' in an attempt to try and salvage some seats for the upcoming midterms. And, of course the people with debt want the debt forgiven unilaterally and post-haste, so it makes sense they're clamoring for it. In a democracy, who turns down free money?
On the other hand, I wonder if it will be able to compete with ICE trucks for pretty standard truck-things like towing. If it's anything like my Tesla, the range is going to fall off precipitously the moment anything touches that hitch, and if you're not graced with a California winter, doubly so (it's really a shame Tesla puts so much of its engineering in one locale or else it might've been more pressing to solve for this). And I'm guessing public chargers with room for a trailer/boat/etc are few and far between.
Isn’t this in some ways just growing up and directly having experience with the intricacies of a big system?

All those new things sound like considerations that were there before, yes even in the vaunted 90s to me.

Maybe the average role of parent has changed - I sorta remember college being perceived culturally as roughly a time to go be an adult, make your own choices haven taken a rough idea of the path, and get out of your parents wing.

I can’t see many the students being so interested in the things you listed. But then again, I never got to go because of the cost, and I don’t see first hand what expectations students have on them - but even if they do do care deeply about these expensive systems, where does that failure fall? Certainly not on the students who must work in the system that is set up for them.

When people talk about a supercomputer being 'fast' they generally mean FLOPS - floating point operations per seconds, which isn't clock-speed.

By the way, while cost may scale linearly, the number of cores doesn't[0]. We have more powerful computers in our pockets than Cray supercomputers from the 80s. And I feel we still haven't learned how to use these cores in an efficient way.

I'll second this. After I had to disclose a disability during a merger between two companies, HR moved me into a role they made just for me. That role was removed once a merger was complete.
Clock rates of CPUs are not a measure of "speed". Time to solution is the measure of speed. There have historically been computers with lower clock rates with higher rates of results production (larger cache, more work done per cycle).

I absolutely love this attitude. And, candidly, as a lawyer, this is part of why I love arbitration. It's a lot less formal. It's more about just getting to the right result without all the unnecessary pomp and circumstance. It lets me do my job--advocate for my clients--without worrying about whether I made sure to include some magic words or hit a specific, inflexible deadline.

If there's a health issue with a kid, I send the arbitrator an email and ask for 7 more days. No formal "motion for continuance pursuant to local rule 8.9(c)(3)(f)."

Lastly, I agree that this a tool. I like to think of arbitration, in this context, as the best customer service tool out there. Remember back when the hack was that you send a letter to the office of the president and that got you a competent response? Arbitration is like that on steroids.

Recently I was reading about how an ancient settlement in Turkey was discovered to have been deliberately buried thousands of years ago, with no explanation as to why it had been buried ( https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/does-an-unknown-extraord... ). Perhaps it was just the work of ancient archaeologists seeking to preserve the site. :)
If I recollect the excess death rate was actually negative in 2020 and slightly positive after that in 2021. In both years in my opinion, the numbers are statistically insignificant. But then I have a different opinion on what exactly is statistically 'significant' compared to most people.

We are talking approximately 1% of the population dying each year and excess death rate being in the region of -+20% of this 1 percent. All above figures are approximate ball park figures from memory - so don't hold me accountable to the exact numbers.
From my limited exposure to the HPC groups at the labs, there's a mixture of languages in use. It seems that modern C++ is the dominant language for a lot of new projects--some of the people I talked to were working on libraries that aggressively used C++11/C++14 features.

The biggest challenge the national labs face is that there's not really any budget (or appetite) to rewrite software to take advantage of hardware features (particularly the GPU-based accelerator that's all the rage nowadays). You might be able to get a code rewritten once, but an era where every major HPC hardware vendor wants you to rewrite your code into their custom language for their custom hardware results in code that will not take advantage of the power of that custom hardware. OpenMP, being already fairly widespread, ends up becoming the easiest avenue to take advantage of that hardware with minimal rewriting of code (tuning a pragma doesn't really count as rewriting).

Cut off the money and expectations will shrink to meet reality.
Absolutely this. Arbitration is a powerful "customer service" tool.
Good point but I wonder which way the causality runs? I could make the argument either way:

1) Parent expectations higher -> college becomes more expensive

2) People would love colleges to do everything but they'd always say "we're a nonprofit spending all our $ on teaching/research so can't" and parents accept that -> colleges can get much larger amounts of money -> colleges compete on these non-circular programs -> students/parents raise their expectations.

I'm sure both are true, but I think something had to change. I would have loved all those services in the 90s but it wasn't considered practical.

All that energy that used to go into heating up the extension cord, are now getting to your tool.

I personally argued with the guy who installed my EV charging station, because I wanted thicker wire and was willing to pay for it. I don't want wires heating up, I don't care if it's code compliant it is energy wasted that could go into my EV. And the thicker wire is not much more expensive nor difficult to work with.
Physicians aren't the ones having trouble paying off their degrees (certainly not in America, that healthcare spending goes somewhere). We may have a district lack of doctored art historians but I think we will survive. Alternatively they could pay their own way.
My new favourite in recent years is being a 10x engineer but working at an org that forces you to be 1x.

You could build software that is more reliable, fast, and easier to maintain but they won’t let you. They want you to work on feature X. Once that is done they want feature Y. And it keeps going with never ending deadlines so that all the company is capable of is mediocrity.

I think I’d like working with these 1x engineers.

The worst 10x and 1x engineers I’ve worked with walk into a room and think, “everyone else is terrible at this, good thing I’m here.” They speak in absolutes and assume the worst from other people. They always seem frustrated and ready to vent. They’re often more opinionated than pragmatic. It can be a slog working with these folks.
No, I think you’re full of shit and trying to change your story. Show me the web md link that’s shows you how to quickly and safely make baby food that you intended to demonstrate with your link.

You might well be right - I'm not a Bitcoin investor or advocate. OTOH, while using gold for physical exchange in small amounts is workable, that breaks down when you get to large amounts. A million dollars of gold is about 20 kg. One hundred million dollars requires an armoured truck to transport. That's not a good way to do business. And indeed, we rarely see gold used for exchange. We rarely see bitcoin used either, but it happens - for example, criminals use it for ransom payment.

I'm not sure that FB or Google happened as quickly as you think, but in any case, there are less obvious issues with coordination. One person can start using Google. For BTC to be useful, many people have to start using it, and it might not be surprising that that takes a while, or starts among investors rather than ordinary Joes. It might not even be surprising that it starts with a huge amount of speculation - that doesn't prove the price won't settle down eventually.
