While it doesn't seem like it's a problem for you right now, money-wise, for those who can't afford to hire a firm, there are lawyers that will work on contingency and will take payment from a cut of your disability benefits.

Depending on where you are, areas with good social services tend to also have social/case workers who can help with disability claims, as well.

Azure customers like me all suspected this, it's funny to see it confirmed.

The lack of testing is glaringly obvious. I can "break" Azure by deploying trivial, toy architectures. I can't imagine what customers go through if they actually try to scale up to something bigger or more complex.
Nah, it's social constructs all the way down. A location might have gorgeous views, but if it's in a rural area and urbanization intensifies (think pre-pandemic), it will left in the dust as jobs and businesses dry up. Same goes if it's in downtown and it gets hollowed out (eg. white flight).
I ran into similar issues many times. I don't even have a gate code, but finding the building can be confusing. They do not read the instructions.
Large scale changes rarely have a single cause, and there is a real lag before different habits turn into health issues.

Median age increased from 35.3 in 2000 to 38.6 today.

I suspect an increase in using computers both at work and home has played a role.

Urbanization has increased from 79% in 2000 to 83%, among everything else I think fewer people are doing yard work.
Pretty sure the question is rhetorical, friend.
Did you get this from Dense Discovery? I just saw this in the newsletter at the same time.
This seems impossible. Frankfurt is nowhere near the great circle route (shortest path) between Seattle and India, and Qatar flies directly from Seattle to Doha, which is near the route, and which itself has frequent direct flights to many airports in India.

And indeed, a quick flight search shows that Qatar's total flight times from Seattle to major Indian airports are all at least 2 hours shorter than Lufthansa's.

Easy to handle this:

1. Pick an example from work where a coworker exhibited the behavior and you're intimately aware of the details

2. Pick an example from work that didn't go the way Amazon would have wanted it, but fantasize about how it could have. I think those who've worked long enough have plenty of tales to tell that didn't quite happen that way in reality, but make for a better narrative. Just adopt one of those. Do you think most of the comments people post on HN with experiences from their workplace are 100% accurate? Do you think they needed to spend a lot of time crafting that narrative? No.[1]

Both of these don't even require much prep.

Yes, but that doesn't prevent them from licensing things to organizations with a lot of money regardless of intent. If there's enough money involved, say a multi-million dollar endowment, the academic administration wouldn't give two shits about whether or not the licensee develops it.

"Quantum computing in silicon hits 99% accuracy" (2022) https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/940321 :

> Quantum computing in silicon hits the 99% threshold

> Morello et al achieved 1-qubit operation fidelities up to 99.95 per cent, and 2-qubit fidelity of 99.37 per cent with a three-qubit system comprising an electron and two phosphorous atoms, introduced in silicon via ion implantation.

> A Delft team in the Netherlands led by Lieven Vandersypen achieved 99.87 per cent 1-qubit and 99.65 per cent 2-qubit fidelities using electron spins in quantum dots formed in a stack of silicon and silicon-germanium alloy (Si/SiGe).

> A RIKEN team in Japan led by Seigo Tarucha similarly achieved 99.84 per cent 1-qubit and 99.51 per cent 2-qubit fidelities in a two-electron system using Si/SiGe quantum dots.
> why even waste the breath to complain that you would have won under a different set of rules?

Because the other set of rules would prevent a political minority from seizing complete control of all branches of the federal government. It's perfectly reasonable to want to point out the fundamental unfairness of the current system which allows this to happen.

You're technically correct that we don't know for sure that the GOP wouldn't win the popular vote if that's what campaigns were optimizing for, but I think we can infer the result of such a vote by looking at the popularity of policies that the two biggest parties disagree on.

Definitely talk to your doctor but if you're highly endurant and do high-cardio exercise, it's not abnormal to have resting heart rates between 40 - 50 or even lower.

Indeed. I don't know how Amazon would evaluate that, but one probably should be wary if the candidate knew much of the details.

Except they shouldn't, because Amazon forces you to come prepared with these stories, and penalize you if you don't come prepared with these stories.
What are your sources for these claims? A quick googling led me to https://www.tomsguide.com/face-off/microsoft-surface-laptop-..., and there they clearly state that the MBP has both better battery life and performance.
> Many of the conditions that vets see don’t have specific drugs associated with them (or even high quality studies), so vets often have to get creative.

> There's something sad about what American physicians have become.

Yes, we have an expectation today that medical procedures be backed by scientific evidence of efficacy. It's not like the "good ol' days" where doctors had carte blanche to do whatever they want. If you want to market a product without scientific evidence that it works, go ahead, just don't do it when people's lives are on the line.

Exactly! A friend of mine said there is nothing you can do about type 2 diabetes and I told him many people are just unwilling to come to grips with obesity and poor diet. A well planned vegan diet can prevent and manage type II diabetes by controlling your weight and sugar levels.
This is a super strange take. Is that claim that since there's a higher proportion of people that are extremely strong, people who aren't fit feel bad when going to the gym since they don't compare? The gym industry takes some blame for people not being fit because .... by making serious strength training widely available it's produced too many too fit people?

> but keeping physically fit was something that people did everywhere: sports in the park, exercise at home.

Nobody took away sports in the park or exercise at home

> This raising of the bar coupled with the fact that working out need to be done now in special locations that involve a lot more effort than doing 20 push-ups at home

Nobody took away 20 pushups at home, or is forcing you to do exercise at a gym.

If anything, the ease of access to high quality information on bodyweight exercises (/yoga/dance class/...) is miles beyond what it used to be - just go to youtube! They're SUPER effective as well!
It's like crypto enthusiasts honestly believe that the problem with the financial system is that the buildings have the word "Bank" on them. Then they turn around and offer to take your money promising absurdly high interest rates. Surprise! The only way to do that is to invest in risky assets, except this time there is no FDIC insurance, no capital requirements, no regulations whatsoever to protect your money.
I checked out the user supplied examples.

On the Appalachian Trail map the Title of the Legend is "Bathymetry". Something tells me that is not right. Global warming must be a bigger problem for the east coast than I had been misled to expect.

The map of community solar proposals also has a problem in the legend. All the line sizes for the transmission capacity players are identical in the legend even though they are graduated sizes on the map.

In addition, there actually end up being two map legends as you can see in the Appalachian Trip planner. The first one is tied to the base map and the symbology fits for the base map. You need to zoom in to see any Campground or Trailhead points since they are features common to the National Parks along the route. The second one is the user added note with Planned Stops and Estimated Date.

Points associated with the second legend (or note or whatever) are all you see at the initial scale. This might be confusing for some users who would expect all map layers to belong to one legend so this should be clarified.

With these in mind, it would pay off for them to examine their Legend tools so that they can become legendarily good because right now they serve as a perfect example of how not to do a map legend. They are supposed to convey useful information that aids visual interpretation of map features and layers.
We still haven't seen a month of negative employment numbers yet.

The fed rate is still under 2%, it was 2.41% in March of 2019, there's still room to continue to take the punchbowl away.

Gas prices are still high and inflation is still pretty much on a tear. It took a bit of a pause but $110/bbl oil is still quite high.

This is not even a recession yet.

At the same time though the fed tacking on 50 and 75 bp rate hikes and talking about how they want to puncture the housing market sounds like we're definitely going to have one. And I don't think that is just all talk since we've seen actual increases in real labor costs, unionization and a large overhang of jobs, along with worker sentiment towards job hopping and zero job loyalty.

So I very much think we're only at the start here. The Fed is going to continue to jack up rates until something(s) in the real economy significantly pops. And Zuckerberg and Musk have been talking tough-economy talk and they're likely bellweathers for what the CEO/billionaire class is thinking.

I don't think we've seen the crypto crash yet.

When (not if) Coinbase pops then I think we'll be in the middle of it.

Executives at Apple will be thinking "People love MacBooks form factor, people love iPadOS and if we ship them together we capture all the value of the Mac software market too"

If you listen to Apple execs when they speak to these issues, there’s nothing to indicate they feel this way.

You didn’t respond to the fact that Mac sales have never been better, with several record quarters in a row. Why would Apple mess around with that?

Many Mac owners also own iPads; there’s no reason to put iPadOS on MacBooks when they’ll buy an iPad anyway.

You appear unaware of the magnitude of the system that now supplies kerosene to aircraft. To get current aircraft off mined kerosene would take a synthesis pipeline fully as large, but much more expensive than the hydrogen system. All of that kerosene is today moved -- shipped, trucked -- from refineries to airports, worldwide.

On the up side, the mined kerosene infrastructure may be wound down as airport hydrogen infrastructure ramps up to serve the new, much more efficient aircraft.

Getting electric power to airports will be an overwhelmingly smaller job than moving kerosene there. Generating the power to send to it will be an overwhelmingly smaller job than exploring, drilling, pumping, transporting, refining, transporting again, and distributing petroleum products. Producing and liquifying the needed hydrogen on site is done without any direct labor, from tap water already piped in. The equipment can be where the tanker trucks used to stop.

Measuring future industry against current output before any of it is built gives you bad numbers.
Thiel is not too smart. He’s smart. As smart as Steve Bannon? In fact I cannot differentiate who’s talking if you play their podcast interviews.

Thiel has a sputtering of good ideas, and he was in the right place to invest in some successful ventures, but he’s not some once in a life time visionary.

As of now, it looks like he’s nothing but a hypocritical selfish vindictive rich asshole with a blood boy (every adjective here being something you can substantiate with actual facts).

If hackers were (hypothetically, surely) to cause a liquid natural gas plant explosion, is that less terroristic than causing a truck, a data centre, a wastebin, a church, or a policeman's pub to explode? All are examples of major terrorist attacks in living memory, and it's strange how intuitively it seems less like terrorism to hit an LNG plant, even though several workers would likely not survive and it's going to cause knock-on social instability from price jumps.

When you attack an economy, you are making people fear starvation instead of murder, but it's still a violent act that instills an irrational fear that you are responsible for as a means to affect policy. I wouldn't accuse you in particular of being able to rationalize it as something like, "it's not murder if you starve them," but when you destroy critical infrastructure that supplies their food system as a way to put fear into their economy, that's precisely the rationalization of that attacker. It would be interesting what the argument for it not-being terrorism would be though.
> The day Iraq started to sell oil in euros the US attacked it for example

This stupid meme needs to die.

Iraq's switch to the Euro was not some rogue act of defiance. It happened under the UN's Food for Oil-for-Food program and was authorised by the Security Council: https://www.un.org/depts/oip/background/chron.html

If it really was such a significant risk to the dollar hegemony, the US could have simply vetoed it. The switch happened in late 2000 but Iraq wasn't invaded till March 2003.

Amazon's hiring practices are the biggest tell of a sociopathic organization that you should only work for if you have to.

If you are good enough to "raise the bar" at Amazon, then you should be good enough to get a better job somewhere else.

What Amazon hires for is insecure people desperate for the Amazon stamp of approval and willing to be exploited for insane work hours and discarded before their compensation vests. That's what their hiring process selects for, not actual talent.

Then the abuse REALLY starts when you get there.
This stuff has a back and forth to it, but I really doubt people are documenting less stuff today than they did in say the 1920’s. Workers have less to high over these decisions than the people making them so there is often low level smoking guns.

And sure, several Secretaries of State used private e-mail severs, but there was also significant backlash over the practice. Again I doubt things are less documented today than before computers became the norm.

Hah! Back in 2010 when I was a teenager and before I had tried drugs of any kind I became fascinated with something called I-doser, which are "binaural beats" marketed as audio drugs.

They basically offered mp3 files which would emit sound waves which would allegedly mimic certain drugs.

After reading success reports on forums, I tried a few and from memory it did slightly put me into a meditative state but nothing more.

Back in the day as an exercise I used to try to think about different sensors that I could combine to make a useful product. Now I could use this page to automate it for me!

Here's where I got so far -

x = Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('li')).map(a => a.innerText).filter(a => !"123456789".includes(a[0]))
Array.prototype.random = function () {
return this[Math.floor((Math.random()\*this.length))];
}
x.random() // Got 'Current sensor'
x.random() // Got 'Capacitance sensor'

So I could build some sort of capacitor bank charging port maybe as a way of managing charge in and out of a battery for an EV.

> As the Corner Office columnist for The New York Times, I've spent the last several years speaking with hundreds of top CEOs about their careers, their mentors, and their approaches to management. Over the course of these conversations, it's become clear that the best leaders share a common set of attributes — characteristics like emotional intelligence, the ability to think long term, and a commitment to serve multiple stakeholders at once.

> In my new book, I explain what he got wrong.

It seems odd to accuse Welch of poor long-term results. The guy was CEO of GE for 20 years. To put this in context, that's longer than Google's entire post-IPO history. And during these 20 years, he grew GE by 30x, and outperformed the index 3.3x, despite GE already being a large blue-chip corporation when he took over. How many of the people interviewed by this author have a more successful long-term track record?

If you're judging Welch by metrics such as "compassion" and "empathy" and "humanity", you can argue that he got a ton wrong. By that same lens, you can also argue that people like Steve Jobs, Elon Musk, and Alex Ferguson were absolute failures. But if you're judging Welch as a businessmen, using the same metrics that most businessmen aspire to attain, it's downright silly to condescend to him.
The thought of doing this has occurred to me before, but if someone actually did this in an interview, I would genuinely laugh, find it quite endearing, and I would 100% do my best to solve the problem in the remaining time.
