You want to help humanity? Find a way to kill off advertising. It's the cancer that's not just funding the current downsides of technology, but reshaping the technology industry to serve it even more.
I've tried a lot of different solutions and none really work for me.

In the end, I went back to pencil and paper. Not pen, but pencil. I buy good quality notebooks like the Midori MD Paper A5, and good quality pencils like the Mars Lumograph.

I use the most minimal "system" possible which is a pared-back version of Bullet Journaling with all the dumb stuff removed.

Because I can't write nearly as fast as I can type it forces me to paraphrase, and I feel like the cognitive processing therein increases retention.

As an added benefit, it's trivial to incorporate diagrams, arrows and stuff to show logical links, etc.
It's always true to some degree (the UK springs to mind). I still think the Panama Papers was the biggest catalyst to global financial transparency laws in my lifetime.

Here in the US, Congress passed the Corporate Transparency Act[0], which certainly was borne on the back of the leak.

Wow. As a former social scientist with an axe to grind this hits hard.

I like to provide that HN community with some context as to what this means.

There are some 300 “research” departments in each of the major social sciences: psychology, sociology, economics and anthropology. If you believe what they say, about half of their mission is teaching and the other half is research. That’s a lot, tens of billions of dollars.

The nudge findings were among the few to not only reach the level of public knowledge but, more importantly, directly influence on public policy. To use the one I most familiar with: the so called default for defined contribution retirement plans, eg 401k. These government regs assumed, for good reason, that maximizing contributions was in the public interest. Based on the nudge findings, after much debate and effort, they were updated to dictate that the max options forms was pre selected in the brief it would cause more individuals would opt for that as opposed to contributing zero.

So far so good, right? In fact nudge has become a canonical example in introductory public policy courses as to how their research can in some sense make things better.

This meta-analytic finding turns on the authors’ method for measuring publication bias. Because I accept that, I must believe that this entire body of research, probably the signal behavioral economics work, is essentially worthless! Thus, all that effort has not only been wasted but the credibility of social science in general is damaged.

Adding this to the well/known gamesmanship in peer review, debate over tenure and etc. means it’s past time to reform a large chunk of academia.

> In my opinion he was a net positive for the company

That opinion is well founded. In the book American Icon by Bryce Hoffman (Detroit News journalist) he chronicles that entire time period.

Mulally pulled off one of the greatest challenges, a bonafide turn around. They had a company culture that was all about individuals protecting their own interests. Mulally changed it to one where they focused on making vehicles people want and thinking about the long-term.

For example, Mulally held a weekly executive meeting and each head would give a color coded report of their domain's status (green for good, yellow for issues, red for caution). For weeks in this meeting every single executive reported their status as "green" for good. This in a fiscal quarter when Ford had a $6 billion loss! Mulally managed to change that culture, which for anyone who has work experience should speak very loudly.
There is no evidence of impact.

That's different from the existence of the phenomenon.

Same thing happened to Kahneman, Daniel (2011) and his book of Thinking, Fast and Slow. He acknowledges that several pieces of evidence he presents in the book has disappeared and can't be replicated.

He still thinks he is right, he just admits that he does not have strong evidence anymore.

What is left is a theory with less and less evidence supporting it.
Have you considered that the primary partners in an open relationship can be both honest and secure within themselves?
I think we are talking about modern France and the role of religion in the country.

Some religions have adapted for the modern times. Others haven’t. It is not right or wrong. I am just saying that not all religions are compatible everywhere. Times have changed and there are 53 Islamic countries that can support their faith. This is a good thing and encouraging for humanity, isn’t it? That everyone goes to the place where they are welcomed and valued for their personal faiths.
Cool photos but the article initially says "viewed on televisions" when it's clear from later text and photos that the in-store screens had slides being rear-projected onto them and customers would advance manually through slide decks loaded into the projector by staff.

It's fun to see how the media of that era were seduced by the apparent "new technology" when there was really nothing new being done. I also think it's a bit of an over sell for the present-day article to describe this as early e-commerce and conceptually link it to Amazon-like online shopping. At the time this was introduced, the Sears and Roebuck catalog had been the largest retail distribution method in North America for decades.

Especially in rural areas, just about everyone used the S&R and other catalogs to order by mail just about all durable goods they couldn't make themselves (ie not food or other consumables). In that context, this "breakthrough" was hardly novel. In addition to mail-order catalogs, there were also a variety of "catalog stores" where consumers would go to browse and place orders from catalogs which weren't economically feasible to widely distribute. It even appears some of the slides being rear-projected in these photos show photos from printed catalogs of the era. So, instead of browsing a printed catalog and ordering, customers browsed projected slides showing photos of catalog pages and ordered. I'm not seeing any actual improvements on the pre-existing customer experience here. It would kind of be like ordering from Amazon in a 2D browser window in virtual reality goggles and claiming that was new.
In theory, anyone can host a competition under their own brand. By far, the World Cube Association is the most-recognized institution. It is even officially recognized by guinness world records
Speaking of disequilibrium, this is almost the same question that is plaguing the American Southwest regarding water. Is there a point that Las Vegas becomes unlivable? Is it when the lake runs dry? Is it when water has to be pipelined from desalination plants? Is it when water costs more than oil? In my opinion there is a fail point here; however, many in the 1% do not believe it’s will happen. The perpetual growth train is still on the tracks and steaming away.
> McDonald Douglass merger

Pray do tell more about that merger!
I agree with you in your analysis. And yet in the majority of jobs, the level of work that is required is at a level that AI will be able to effectively replace.

The jobs that it will replace will be the entry level jobs. It will replace the jobs where excellence is not required. It will replace the jobs where quantity matters more than quality. These are the jobs that everyone starts at. Some people learn and grow and become experts. And some remain at some lower level for their whole career. This works well when there is enough work to go around. When AI replaces the need for low-end professionals, where will experts learn their trade?

When combustion engines replaced horses in many applications, they did not eliminate all horse handling jobs. There were just significantly fewer horse handling jobs left.

The fastest blindfold solvers in the world have their memorization under 10s. It encodes all the information they need to solve the cube, so arguably they are able to solve the entire cube in their head in under 10s. Execution takes longer, though, because blindfold methods at that level are still less efficient than traditional methods. However, one of the best BLD solvers, Jack Cai, has used blind solving during a normal 3x3 event, by doing his memorization during inspection (inspection time is included in the total time for the actual blindfold event). Then, with a blindfold on, executes the solve. He had a sub-12s average, IIRC.
This wasn't in the paper, but men in general tend to be geared toward non-emotional stimulus and action-oriented thinking. Their supernormal stimulus is hardcore and paraphilic porn for this reason, which then of course invokes unfavorable comparisons, because of how unrealistic they are.

Women in general respond to emotional stimulus better. Their supernormal stimulus is erotic romance, also known to create unrealistic expectations, however these expectations are about men, not the readers themselves.

I don't know porn much, but I know erotic romance, and it's central thesis is that it's a form of fantasy in which the MFC (main female character) is wanted by one, sometimes two (menage) and occasionally more (reverse harem) MMCs (main male characters). The allure is that she is the center of their world. HEA (happily ever after) is usually expected, especially for romance, and cheating is forbidden. Alpha males, billionaires, daddy and stepbrother types are the most popular MMCs, along with aliens and monsters. The pattern is being able to tame, or at least withstand or even enjoy something possessive, dominant and aggressive. Another pattern is being able to lay down the burden of having to be in control, or having adult responsibilities altogether.
Women also enjoy reading about gay men, reportedly because they don't have to identify with an MFC. In romance it is important to create an emotional framework that explains why the characters want each other, and in erotic romance this can happen through sexual discovery. Being fated to be together is a popular, if lazy framework. Erotica without an emotional framework is much less popular and hard to monetize because the payment processors are squeamish of adult content in the first place and the readers tend to feel bad about just erotica, which is a recipe for disaster. Reportedly erotic romance actually helps women improve their sexual life, perhaps because it encourages sexual discovery.
Have you worked in a monorepo? There can be 100kloc or more, easily, as well as tens or hundreds of gigabytes for build artifacts/ compilation artifacts, etc that you'll want to skip over.

For scripts I'll still use grep sometimes for the portability reason, naturally.
It's a typical german cartel. In countries were they split up those cartels the prices went down and quality went up. I was once part of such a successful "Verfassungsklage".B ut it only did last for decade, then the cartels striked back. Not only in the telecom business, also in energy, press and automotive, and what ever else.

The state actively protects them, with telecoms they can even setup their own rules and bylaws.

This seems unlikely to be true, unless of course they weaseled themselves in this position.
> so now it takes 3x longer again and requires twice the staff to maintain it

precisely. or like with aws, what used to be a sysadmin is now two to three devops engineers doing the same stuff. if anything ai will enable even more people to get into software dev and thus allow even more businesses to thrive and thus create more jobs. ais and tools like you mentioned are like fertilisers. the more crap the more jobs for us.
I don’t see a lot of telephone switchboard operators, do you?
Sure. And beamed power also potentially allows one to cool a vehicle more effectively than radiating from a black body, by exploiting anti-Stokes scattering of laser light.

(From your question you might have been thinking of laser propelled light sails. These are best at speeds high enough that fusion is out of the picture.)
Can we split the middle, they are fools, but the situation is not accidentally created?
Author here. I tried to answer your question in the first two paragraphs. But to add some context, given the nature of my work, I hear from developers on a nearly daily basis who are struggling to get started with the technologies mentioned in this blog post series, which include not only Kubernetes, but also Docker, AWS, and Terraform. In part, they are struggling because they are too scared to ask for help, and comments like yours only make that worse: you seem to be implying that the materials out there for Kubernetes are so good, that if you don't get it, there must be something wrong with you. And yet, there are thousands of devs who don't get it, so maybe for different people, there are different ways to learn?

In discussions like this, I'm a fan of what Steve Yegge wrote about blogging [1]:

> This is an important thing to keep in mind when you're blogging. Each person in your audience is on a different clock, and all of them are ahead of you in some ways and behind you in others. The point of blogging is that we all agree to share where we're at, and not poke fun at people who seem to be behind us, because they may know other things that we won't truly understand for years, if ever.

That's why I write: to share what I know, from my particular perspective. Hopefully, that's useful to some people out there. If it's not useful to you, no problem!

And for the record, I agree the Kubernetes docs are great, including those interactive tutorials: if you read the series, you'd see I actually recommend those exact docs at the end of the post [2].

No, that really isn't easy to do when you're running something as large as the Ford Motor Company. In fact it is much easier for a new entrant to make such big changes.

Wait, you're arguing that it does have an effect but the effect direction is unpredictable.

As an example to differentiate: drinking a homeopathic solution for health has no effect; driving a radium solution for health hurts.
Horses produce a lot of shit, need to be fed, generate rather large biohazards when they expire, and have an oscillating motion that isn't a great match for drunkenness.

"A horse for every person" probably wasn't the best of times.

On the other hand, they are excellent listeners.

[O'Brien to Winston Smith]: 'Is it your opinion, Winston, that the past has real existence?'

Again the feeling of helplessness descended upon Winston. His eyes flitted towards the dial. He not only did not know whether 'yes' or 'no' was the answer that would save him from pain; he did not even know which answer he believed to be the true one.

O'Brien smiled faintly. 'You are no metaphysician, Winston,' he said. 'Until this moment you had never considered what is meant by existence. I will put it more precisely. Does the past exist concretely, in space? Is there somewhere or other a place, a world of solid objects, where the past is still happening?'

'No.'

'Then where does the past exist, if at all?'

'In records. It is written down.'

'In records. And- ?'

'In the mind. In human memories.

'In memory. Very well, then. We, the Party, control all records, and we control all memories. Then we control the past, do we not?'

True. Though the damage is low from hitting 100% which is part of the reason why this is a "just leave it at 100%" rather than a "hit 100% once a week".

That said, I'd probably do 90% as the max and 100% on the weekend if I owned an LFP vehicle.
Ford believes they have the battery supply for a 600,000 EV/year run rate by late-2023 and are shooting for 2,000,000/year by 2026.

Bloomberg projects VW selling more EVs than Tesla by 2024 and they are planning to have 240GWh/yr of in-house battery production by 2030.

BYD in China is fully vertically integrated on EV production, moreso than Tesla who relies on 3rd party mining and on Panasonic for chemistries/cell production. BYD is now the largest PHEV+BEV manufacturer in the world.

Tesla might have had a head start but There has been a lot of catching up going on, and as we get closer and closer to resource constraints instead of production constraints they aren't in much better of a position than any other manufacturer.

Ask HN: What is the legality of scraping recipe ingredient lists?
Companies such as AllRecipes, BigOven and Yummly have millions of combined recipes saved within their systems. BigOven, for example, has a clipper tool (https://www.bigoven.com/clipper) that allows users to copy recipes from other sites and save them in BigOven. Based on Copyright Law, lists of ingredients are not copyrightable, but creative works (ie. ingredients + instructions + images) are. Under this understanding, recipes that are copied beyond the ingredient list into BigOven (or other recipe database) would be breaking copyright law.

Are there reputable sources (attorneys) in Copyright law that I can contact - if it's within legal means, I desire to compile a list of recipes (name of food & list of ingredients only) and sell this collection to users who are interested.
Thanks - it's definitely at the MVP stage. Any particular features you'd like to see?
I work for a company that doesn't fire no matter what. You can join and do nothing for 40 hours a week while never delivering on a single ticket in the issue tracker. True story there is someone here who has never had a single PR in nearly two years. He isn't a manager he's a dev. The other engineers can see this and it is immensely demoralizing and betrays such a serious dysfunction that no one takes this company seriously. To spice this up a bit this is a high end tech company which everyone reading this has probably heard of. The employee in question is not the only employee who does nothing. I would estimate roughly 10% of the company does absolutely nothing all day and another 20% work 20 hours or less a week.

Ask HN: How to scale up a hardware project for commercial application?
I made a functioning prototype of a Raspberry Pi project that I think has applications in a retail environment. I intend to demo this project for local stores in the coming weeks. As I do, I want to start thinking about the design of the product, the layout of its wiring, the construction of the housing, which consists of metal, glass, and plastic elements. I also want to start thinking about how to manufacture a completed design. What steps does one take, who does you hire, what resources do you take advantage of, in the process of turning a prototype into a product? Right now, the people involved are myself, with a smattering of knowledge on the hardware and software sides, and a software engineer, who has little knowledge of the hardware side. Who do you hire to consider the design challenges, and where do you find them?
And that, kids, is the "Boy scout rule" (Always leave the forest better than you found it).
IME/IMO, Anki is best at aiding recall for domains where there's a long tail of infrequently used items which benefit from quick recall. As in, it's obviously great for language learning; and I've heard it's good for e.g. health science students.

For programming, most things is programming are either going to fall into either side: "you'll use it frequently enough that recalling it is easy", or "you'll use it so infrequently, and it's better to just look it up than to try to remember it".

Where I have had some success in programming related domains was using flashcards to capture parts of some system that were at the edge of my understanding. I wasn't interacting with the system enough to understand it; but, interacted with it frequently enough that I wanted to get some understanding of it.

But, almost always, I think flashcards need to be very clear/short.

In terms of product-ising the idea of "SRS as applied to learning programming", I guess the main question is "how is your product going to be better than just using flashcards with anki"?
