I'm not throwing up my hands (if you were suggesting that) because I still think kids should be socialized. I would agree that society should socialize it out of them, and if they don't, it is a failing of society, but I still don't agree it is a product, because product implies origin. It's more interesting to me to understand why the origin exists.

I'm personally trying to read Ulysses, after picking up a book which said that Ulysses was not meant to be super-challenging to read, in fact it was meant for ordinary Irish. What I'm doing is trying to read it, and if I don't understand something, just carrying on.

Finnegan's Wake is another kettle of fish though! I wouldn't know where to start with that.
I don't think you can completely discard all comparisons, but people are intuitively right to recognize that if they don't engage in risky behavior (like drunk driving) they're less at risk of being in an accident. To argue otherwise is basically saying driving drunk is no more risky than driving sober.

Firstly, as all should know by now there is no need to give a cookie warning for any technical cookies. This means whenever it is there it is provided because the website provider thought they need a third party tracking to manage ads or get customer info.

Secondly, the way the banners are designed is the problem, not that the banners are there. A few large providers (notably Google and an adtech alliance) have standardised intrusive, bad-default and dark-pattern heavy cookie banners. If this was a single well-remembered click on each site no one would mind, the problem is that the providers want to make it painful so you start to just click 'accept' to get it over with.

> I'd personally vote to 10x or 100x our hard-science funding

It's a slippery slope though. sometimes governments pick winners on non-scientific grounds.

I wonder if maybe tax breaks might be a better way of funding, because folks who have ownership could be better.
Why would anyone think it's not? $10B is pennies within the context of the US's frivolous spending.
I've been in perhaps a similar situation. I was part of a great, cohesive team. During a re-org the team was merged with another team that had built a similar product.

I found myself working with a person who had the technical chops and the socials chops, but was also a perfectionist and found no limit to the nits he was willing to pick. Nothing got a LGTM from him and while pushing team members to improve themselves is admirable, it cannot be done by loading critique onto everything they do.

The problem was that he wasn't a jerk about it. I ended up getting killed by kindness and perfectionism and found a job elsewhere. The lesson I learned was to set a realist bar for success, and never set an impossibly high bar for other people. Doing so decreases morale faster than it improves performance.

My point is that not clicking with a team or even a team member is a perfectly reasonable reason to find another job. If you're miserable despite your reasonable effort then it's time to move on. You don't have to apply heroic effort in order to make things work.

An Update on One Medical:

"When we looked at usage of the benefit, we saw that less that 1% of our employee base were DAUs of the benefit, so we have decided to discontinue the benefit and focus on other efforts instead"
No, if the statement is true then it cannot be defamatory.
For years, One Medical didn't figure out that a child has more than one parents and that there could be more than one child in a family! How can a medical establishment with claims to fame not get such simple concepts - 1+ parents with 0+ children! This is the same with many other companies such as Facebook, Google, etc. Only Microsoft gets it! Even Amazon sucks with their "family" plan. Recently, Instacart did the same idiotic "family" plan killing the shared cart concept along the way! When will product managers finally be people representing much of the population?!
Don't they point in different directions? :)
Never heard of this. But I experience this almost every time I enter the door to my own home after being away for more than 6 hours. I won't have any inkling of feeling prior to entering, but as soon as I do.... 15 seconds later I know where I'm now headed. Edit: My home is not a bookstore, but I do have a non-trivial personal library in my front room. Coincidence?
It does, but fortunately it's completely incorrect.
Tilting at windmills here but: US is not some unique country designed for cars and other countries are not some car-free utopias.

US is 7th country on cars / people metric, below New Zealand and just above Poland.

Yet this is upteenth time I read that US is "designed" around cars as if dependance on cars was some unique property of US.

The biggest problem is that the device's box looks 3d printed, and I associate that with "hobbyist/prototype" automatically. I would also prefer to see the real device over stock art, but if a picture of the device evokes unreliability, then removing the real photo may have helped for this reason.

Another thing we can do is force city and state government transportation departments into rebuilding roads as they wear down into more actively calming roads. Making them narrower, put in raised pedestrian walkways (basically turns the intersection into one speed bump for cars), reduce the signage and markings to the essentials, and even make residential or high density roads physical rougher as to make it feel worse to drive fast. All these could help with residential/non-highway accidents.

> I wonder if this continues and Google lets Amazon employees on premises to collect medical information about their employees

This is a misunderstanding of the acquisition, and how OneMedical operates.

OneMedical (1Life Healthcare) is a tech company that makes the OneMedical app. They also make electronic health record and clinic management software.

You can visit health clinics branded as "OneMedical" without being a member. You just can't use the app.

OneMedical Clinics use the platform, but are (generally, it's complicated) privately owned by a physicians group.

In Austin, the OneMedical medical staff are associated with Ascension Seton Physicians Group (may have a slightly different name). They aren't Amazon employees. The medical staff isn't accountable to Amazon leadership/shareholders. They are accountable to other medical professionals. This is similar to law firms. Side note: this is one reason why innovating in these fields is very challenging.

This is the same for Amazon Care. The practicing medical professionals are not employees of Amazon.

It is possible that the clinics embedded in Google locations may discontinue licensing/using the OneMedical branding. They may also transition to using another platform, such as EpicCare, to coordinate patient records, scheduling, and Telehealth.

That's an interesting point.

After the reunification, Germany, as a country, is the poster child of economic success. The balance of trade of Germany, has been just ridiculous. Still, the conditions of the average German have not improve, if something, they are worst.

So, where are all that wealth going? I suppose if you ask the politicians they will tell you that to those lazy guys in the south. Well, that's not it. The Germans should take a good look at what's going on there.

Is that the model others should copy?

Case in point: Microsoft Flight Simulator (the latest one released in 2020), developed by a French studio, Asobo (the same company also develops the A Plague Tale franchise). Of course, it was augmented by Microsoft technologies like Azure which hosts the cloud and servers for the streaming scenery, but even so, most of the development is European.

> You brought up "minority beneficial policies" in the context of the current left wing segment of the Democratic party.

Correct.

> That means DEI programs

Let me know where in the democratic party platform it says that colleges should use race based affirmative action policies. We were discussing a particular minority aware funding program. You decided to bring up headcount, something no one else was discussing.

> I'm sure as an engineer at Google you would know that recruiters at your company will regularly favor racial minorities by prioritizing their resumes

Sure, yes, this is fine.

> and promotions.

Interesting bit of made up nonsense there though.

> Unsurprisingly, it was found that they were systemically underpaying men [1] and discriminating against Asian applicants [2].

You should really read those links better. Your first showed that a particular crosstab of engineers (that I belonged to, in fact!) were being systemically underpaid (by, if I recall, something like .25%). Your second link notes that Google settled both against Asian applicants, and against female applicants and employees. So, Google was, per your own source, systematically underpaying women (by a larger margin over a larger period) and their internal study failed to recognize that, and instead gave me a small bonus.

Ask HN: Evolutionary Operating Systems?
I can't help but notice the similarity between an OS instance and an organism. It has a boundary and defenses (firewall), various ways of interacting with its environment (network), it has resources and "organs" of its own (processes, RAM, nonvolatile storage) etc. The instances don't (yet) themselves reproduce, but are cloned ad infinitum.

The metaphor goes further when recognizing that computer "viruses" infect these "organisms", commandeering their capabilities for propagation.

What if we treated an OS instance more fully like an organism, and allowed it to evolve and "fight" for its survival? Could it become more secure by virtue of its survival being on the line?

What if OSes could reproduce sexually?

I know this is getting weird but... we use genetic algorithms to evolve solutions to problems.

Is there a place for evolving the operating system itself?
I’m sorry, but this seems like a very libertarian view of conservatism.

I'm not sure I understand your comment? Who's the offender here?
I don't know, I like reading, I like books, and I like owning the books I am reading or have read (especially if I liked them). But I do have many books I haven't (yet) read, or have only partially read (especially textbooks and some biographies). It's a hobby I don't spend as much time on as I'd like.

I have.. hundreds (I mean that literally - not tens, nor thousands; I don't know exactly the number) of books, a small number across a few rooms. Certainly fewer than you. Were I in your house, I might be inclined to ask if, like me, you slightly veer into ~hoarding~ collecting rather than having read them all; perhaps telling yourself you certainly will, as the backlog only grows ever longer, or whether I should feel ashamed because you actually have read them all and it's a much larger hoard.
While the OP says in the post that he's not a rube, this whole post makes me wince and shouts "rube". There's no reason in today's day and age to spend this much or take this much time on a website "redesign", especially if you're a small business or one-person shop selling basically a consumer item. Agile methodology is key. Iterate quickly. Design / test / build quickly and iterate. Any long-term web design project is at high risk of being a waste of time and money. This has been an accepted best practices approach, especially for fast-moving projects for decades.

It does seem like he learned his lesson and at the end he talks about how basically an iterative approach with lots of deliveries and low-cost testing is the best approach. And yes, it's the best-practice. But then again he learned an expensive lesson that if he had asked others about, would have gladly told him. Sometimes people need to learn lessons on their own with their own expense to realize that best practices apply to them, too. I find the lack of acceptance of methodology and best practices approaches very sad.

Feel free to research what each state/county chose to implement, most of which were never actually solidly set up (meaning the policies had large loopholes that made the NPi fairly ineffective). Note that the US Federal Govt could not implement a global set of policies, instead relying on antiquated design where individual states and counties implemented what they felt like without regard to geographical integration.

Is there a level of collaboration among so many people that at least data can be re-used without being "reproduced"? I.e. the field as a whole has put enough work into an apparatus or infrastructure that we can regard the initial observation to have been trustworthy? We shouldn't have to build a second LHC before we believe any claims from the first one, right?
I would say we generally do exactly that, when the threshold is significant enough and it's a behavior that has no beneficial/ safe level (we tax and restrict cigarettes heavily, but not so much overconsumption of food etc. Arguably we should/could have penalties for failing to get enough exercise, though there are almost certainly better ways to reduce dangerously sedentary lifestyles).
Saying the US was designed around cars doesn't mean it is unique in that it is designed around cars.

And the relevant metrics would probably be something like miles driven and average speed, not the number of cars per capita. Jay Leno or Jerry Seinfeld may have 1,000 cars each but they can only die in a car accident once. Every in San Marino owning a car doesn't mean anything if they only drive it 15 mph through their city streets which were mostly all designed before the advent of cars.

They can't mug me or grope me or blast music on their phone 3 feet away from me though. To be fair occasionally there will be idiot drivers blasting their bass so loud it vibrates nearby cars, but that's far less common than inconsiderate assholes blasting music on their phones on public transit.
> My main question is: who hires Accenture for this kind of job, for no less than $32m

The cheapest people possible.
Yes, but if half of all accidents involve idiots, not being an idiot is a legitimate way to reduce your risk of being in an accident. Meaning drivers do have some control over their level of risk behind the wheel.

I ordered a second one when I found out that there was already some code written for some a SubGhz radio intercom. Currently only available at the command line interface (yes, you can ssh to it while connected via usb) but shouldn't be too difficult to build some kind of interface for it.

As I was writing this, it occurs to me that you could might be able to capture a bluetooth signal with one, sent it via radio to another that might not be in line of sight, then retransmit from another.

The limit on what you're thinking is that the devices inside this are NOT the latest and greatest.

If you have been sedated, many states have a law that say that you can only be discharged to the care of a responsible adult.

This has been an issue for me in the past when I was sedated for a root canal. I had my brother's girlfriend's father pick me up from the dentist.

As to walking out? I was in absolutely no shape to walk out.

If someone is still insistent on leaving:

> If you discover that your patient doesn’t have a responsible adult to take them home until after the procedure is complete and they’re dressed and insisting to go home on their own, your best option is to document as much as possible. Insist that the patient sign an AMA (against medical advice) form. Then write up the details of the patient’s non-compliance in an incident report in their medical record. Also, let their surgeon know.
Thank you for saying so!

When I have internal conversation with myself, there is no difference between lose and loose. Probably because in my native language both pronunciations are indistinguishable.

And also at least partly because I mostly work with polite people who will not point out my language mistakes. And I never attended any classes to have a chance for a teacher to weed it out.

As to your comment about sloppiness/ignorance, you might be ignorant thinking that because you care it means everybody else also has to.
Not wearing a seatbelt is an individual choice, and should not be a crime.

P.S. Growing up, my dad had the dealer install seatbelts in the family wagon before he picked it up. We never moved an inch unless everyone was buckled up. Nobody else, and I mean nobody else, had seatbelts in their car at the time.

P.P.S. Seatbelts also saved my life.
Shipping people off to the gulags is not a feature of Marxism. My point here is that these terms get attached to political movements and then people mistake how the movement is practiced with the original thing.

Lenin was influenced by Marx. He considered himself a Marxist for certain. What he practiced was Totalitarianism.

The Nazi party's formal name was the "National Socialist German Worker's Party". You could argue they were influenced by Socialism, but you are being disingenuous if you make the leap to Socialism means exterminating the Jews.

Now, there are people that say that! They are wingnuts.

I doubt that very much.
"Decentralized" doesn't mean crippled. "On-chain" does.

At some point, you need to interact with the off-chain world (say, when you want US dollars and not tokenized US dollars), and that path to the physical world becomes a point of failure that can be controlled by mundane means such as uniformed people with guns. The crypto-utopian solution is to move everything on-chain. The pragmatist solution is centralized exchanges that more-or-less plays by the rules of wider society and is allowed by society to move stuff in and out of the blockchain.
