Ask HN: Looking for citations of 10-hour, 100-hour, 1000-hour, 10000-hour rules
I know Malcolm Gladwell's 10000-hour rule and the criticism this rule has received in many articles. Many years ago while reading about Gladwell's 10000-hour rule, I think I read some article or post that described similar 10 hour, 100 hour and 1000 hour rules.

Like 10 hours of practice provide familiarity with a skill, 100 hours provide confidence, 1000 hours provide enough skill that you can teach the skill to someone else. I am paraphrasing of course because I cannot find the source of this anymore. My memory might be flawed too so pretty sure I am mangling the rules too while posting here.

Has anyone else here come across something similar that talked about 10 hour 100 hour, 1000 hour rules? Can you help me find the article or book that talked about these? What exactly did it say about these rules? Did it really say that 1000 hours of practice help someone learn a skill well enough to be able to teach others? Or am I misremembering the rules? Links, book titles, excerpts and quotes would all be very helpful!
I can't imagine how the EV buses will truly fare. This has to be the biggest corporate grift I've ever seen.
Waxed straws used paraffin which is made from petroleum anyway, and they still get soaked through and collapse like the shitty PFAS coated straws. I know because they’re still made and I’ve used one, and the attic you posted mentions that draw back.

Straws made from plant stalks simply aren’t suited to mass distribution. They aren’t uniform, can’t easily be sanitized before packaging, they’re fragile, and still leak and get soaked.

The problem isn’t “corporate greed” it’s that there aren’t good alternatives to plastic for disposable straws.
Wait a second, I said 3 year old. Kindergarteners are about twice that age. We're talking about different maturity levels entirely.

My own theory is that executive compensation serves a purpose that generally isn't said out loud. Usually compensation comes mostly in the form of stock, and the real reason for the large amounts is to reassure investors that if the executive finds him or herself in a situation where they have to make a choice between what's good for employees or what's good for shareholders, they'll be strongly incentivized to choose the latter.

It follows that if a CEO were to refuse stock compensation they'd be at risk of being fired by the board of directors, because owning stock is an unspoken qualification for the job.
Does this mean it isn't safe to live right next to the ocean?

I'm referring to the following sentence in the abstract:

> Levels of PFAAs in atmospheric deposition are especially poorly reversible because of the high persistence of PFAAs and their ability to continuously cycle in the hydrosphere, including on sea spray aerosols emitted from the oceans.
I'm not going to try to justify how I would act, or how anyone else should act, were I to have a compensation package putting me easily in the top 0.1% of society, but we can collectively dispense with the notion that certain types of compensation (i.e. stocks) must necessarily be prohibitively harder for a CEO to give up than just money.

Just to note, I didn’t make the original assertion about the success of Go. I was only asking why your dismissal of the claim was so emphatic. I just stated that I found the assertion plausible where languages from the last 20 years were concerned and wondered why you were so certain Go could not be at the top.
> You'll know the difference between what the history books will claim 20 years from now and the public debate shift based on that, and what you've actually witnessed.

No, you'll know the propaganda you're being fed which often only gets revealed 20 years later. Like what happened in Iraq.

Every time you think you're being informed by the media, you should consider if you would have believed them 18 years ago when the media was full of pundits manufacturing consent for war against Iraq by claiming they had WMDs. The playbook doesn't really change, only the story being told. You only get the real story much later.

Every single cloud and MongoDB pushes horizontal scaling and sharding. This rarely a necessity in practice.

Traditional RDS normalization is almost always necessary to keep clean data. As I said, I have used MongoDB extensively for non-normalized, client created forms, and it was fine for that, but I wouldn't do it again given the choice now.

In more simple terms - when I work for a staffing agency and delete a profession from the database, I want the DB to yell at me about FK constraints that needs to be considered (e.g. millions of jobs and candidates set to that profession_id)
I don't really want to get into what code should or shouldn't have been written.
When you are designing infrastructure to support millions of lines of existing code, you figure out what will break the least code, and you do it.
Yes, sorry I didn't mean to imply that Linode were lying about the cause!

I look forward to their full postmortem about the issue (they promised that after the first outage, but the second happened before they'd published anything).
That's not really true, at least not in the same way being discussed above. Jobs already owned millions of shares in Apple stock, so yes, he profited from the stock but AFAIK that was only from the appreciation of existing stock, not from new grants.
That is totally fine. Message me (kaveh808 on Reddit) and I'll be in touch as we get going.

Thanks for that, I hadn't seen it, so I'll stop ranting about eating plastic until I see new evidence. Also I'm a big fan of Hank Green, but his proof is still just one data point in a mountain of evidence to the contrary. I feel that microplastics are a symptom of deregulation and lack of enforcement of existing laws, mostly due to the factory farming lobby:

Start-ups don’t have to pay Google or FB size comp to attract people who like to work in start-ups but my feeling is that if they want to compete for the senior end of the talent pool they are going to have a hard time. Most start-ups are offering what I call below-mortgage compensation. Simply put to not be house poor your mortgage is supposed to be 30% of your pre-tax income. You can calculate what a typical mortgage on a property looks like and extrapolate the payment but $90,000 USD is pretty reasonable in the Bay Area. That takes $300,000 USD/year to not be house poor. As long as start-ups continue to treat unsellable equity as sellable RSUs and offer similar base to google they get almost no one who needs to pay a mortgage. And I’m willing to bet a fair number of start-ups have failed from being too junior in engineering.
By “loss” do you mean that of the exploiters losing tokens because the community decided not to follow the hacked chain?

The goal of all the shadow forks and merge testnets is to find the different edge cases and failure states to answer those questions of “what is the failure plan?” If mainnet merge somehow does not succeed despite these tests and all clients fail to produce blocks, the merge can just be delayed until the bugs are resolved. If mainnet merge succeeds but later a bug emerges, users can coordinate a change to revert the lost funds.

It's probably not that simple. Most chief executives delegate the responsibility of hiring staff to others. Sure, the buck stops with the executive, but ultimately nobody can review every single operational decision at scale. Maybe they hired for a world where the pandemic didn't happen and the monetary supply didn't tighten, then the world changed.

The beauty of corporatism - unlimited upside and no downside.
Nice ideas, great enthusiasm.

I think your art/design/craft is pretty good. Some people use pencils, some use Adobe products, you have gone out there and tried the new Dall-E medium.

Glad you thought out the usage, I am sure that when the novelty wears off that you will have that neat-as-octocat logo sorted out.

I appreciate that you appreciate the value that highly skilled designers bring to a product with their visual expertise.

However, I would like to see you A/B test the Dall E logo versus the winning designer logo. You could show odd IP addresses one logo and even addresses the other.

I think the designer would edge the robot for what you need (a logo), however, the proof is in the pudding and conversion rate.
You can pay people in Bolivia that way?
This is a bit off-topic, but stuff like this and copilot genuinely makes me worried about job prospects in the future, especially because it feels so hard to estimate what might be next. I would have thought something like art would have been one of the last things to be automated.

I always thought CRUD work might be automated eventually, while I would have guessed that something like embedded/high-performance was pretty safe, but now I'm not so sure anymore...
The Shopify layoff also contained this phrasing. Shows how tone-deaf these CEOs are.

And your payscale site is so far off, it can't be called data.

How in the world did you come to that conclusion? My only point is that your claim of cheap foreign labor comes from Western privilege.
Many databases can be distributed horizontally if you put in the extra work, would that not solve the problems you're describing? MariaDB supports at least two forms of replication (one master/replica and one multi-master), for example, and if you're willing to shell out for a MaxScale license it's a breeze to load balance it and have automatic failover.
The whole market downturn begun months ago, since November as predicted. [0] That was the exact time to run away.

Many other small companies like Robinhood were one of the first to start downsizing quicker, which really doesn't surprise me since all the cheap money is now gone.

But the actual winners are the C-level executives, the VCs and any of the long term employees who cashed out.

A lot of Robin Hood's growth in particular was driven by people gambling their stimulus money because they didn't need it to make ends meet, and by the Fed juicing the markets with low rates for far too long, and by the ridiculous meme stock phenomenon. It was a perfect storm of stupidity.

Personally I'm glad that some sanity is returning to investing, and we are still a long way from getting back to normal.
I like go and I can program it very well. But for full stack web dev Rails is still my go to choice. Less headaches. I don’t need to setup everything by myself (sql layer, middlewares, background jobs, validation patterns, i18n, authentication, authorization, security concerns, caching, mailing, migrations and a million other things).

There’s just nothing comparable from a developers productivity perspective to what Rails offers.

Would I write a command line tool in Go? For sure.

How do others think about Go for web dev?

Rather, what we need is lowering humanity's total energy input. That same approach has been preached by MBA business types for decades, under the moniker "efficiency". I don't see why we can't do for energy efficiency what we've been doing for labour efficiency for decades, but it does require a more comprehensive management focus.

I don't see a-priori how "de-growth" should lead to lowering living standards, other than by implication of the (IMHO ill-chosen) word.

Reminder that Vlad Tenev founded Robinhood, an incredibly successful app that disrupted an industry and is still best in class. There really is no replacement for a founder CEO.
Sorry I can't help you more, but if I recall correctly it was in a summery at the end of an interview with one of the major players. Likely AMD or TSMC related given Intel/Apple/Qualcomm is more secretive about future products, and I seem to vaguely remember something about ML accelerators and chiplets internal bus bandwidths as some of the subjects. However, as I tend to binge watch the episodes once in awhile, and the set never notably changes much... it is difficult for me to narrow down when the episode was published. Good luck. =)
Both inflation and wages are lagging indicators and thus can be used together to get real wages historically. Correlation to inflation does not mean anything other than inflation and wages both increased, you can be highly correlated but not exactly correlated. Real wages demonstrate both wages and inflation in a single metric and they are not increasing at the same rate, real wages have been declining continuously since 2020. The strength of a labor market (low unemployment) just means people that are looking for jobs can find them but doesn’t measure the wages or inflation, that is determined by real wages. You can pay anyone more but if it doesn’t buy more it is still a pay decline.
Why would you want to move money without paying a bank? It’s cheaper.
Vlad created an app and created value for lots of people. People chose to give him money in the form of investment for his company. I’d say plenty of people are motivated to become founders and create value. Most people just aren’t good at it or prefer a comfy and safe life. Nothing wrong with that either but don’t expect the same payout as someone who worked harder than you.
This is a red flag.

Robinhood is struggling for capital, so I wouldn't trust them with my cash investments whatsoever.

Not that anyone has trusted them for a while, but yeah.
