Speaking from my experience:

The problem isn’t interruption, it’s how someone interrupts. I have been in many meetings over my career where the loudest person speaks very authoritatively about something they don’t understand, resulting in the meeting becoming completely derailed: invariants and laws are needlessly questioned, and important design parameters are overlooked.

An example taken from real world experience: loud interrupter asks for input on how we can ensure messages arrive in-order over a TCP connection. I speak up and, after verifying that I interpreted the question correctly, state that we don’t have to worry about that — in-order delivery is guaranteed by TCP itself. Interrupter cuts me off to say “that’s an interesting theory, but it’s really important that we know messages will be delivered in order. Jason, or Susan, what do you know of, oh, what’s that called… Raft? Paxos? I think there things called state machines?” This general pattern continues: I try to assert that we’re getting caught up trying to solve <insert non-issue here>, I get cut off mid sentence, and interrupter spouts off buzzwords that they don’t understand hoping that something will stick.

At some point I then have to raise my voice: “hey, hey, HEY! You’re not hearing me. This is a non-issue. It is simply a fact that TCP guarantees in order delivery. That’s not a theory of mine, it’s not something I’m feeling. It’s fact. Do you understand that, or do you believe that the TCP specification is broken in some way, and that every book on TCP is somehow wrong? Also, please, please stop cutting me off.”

It’s not people speaking up regularly or occasionally interrupting that’s an issue — the issue is when I have to raise my voice and become confrontational to have an interrupter let me speak and raise concerns of my own, when I have to consistently push back against attempts at silencing me. Or when I raise a point, and interrupter (seemingly to keep an air of authority) cuts me off after I raise a concern for which I would like to offer guidance, turns to someone else, and says “so what do you think of that?”

These individuals usually ascend the org chart rapidly, as they seem incredibly engaged, and their domination of meetings is usually conflated with good leadership skills (after all, it looks like everyone is following their lead). If they’re working with junior level developers, their ignorance goes unnoticed, and by the time these interrupters are several tiers up the org chart, their peers are too far removed from the technical side to realize that the interrupter doesn’t know which end is up — but the interrupter has strong opinions, “so surely they know what they are talking about.”

Fortunately, such people are pretty rare (at least in my experience).
Isn't the ability to migrate phone numbers a legal requirement for carriers?

Edit: yeah it is [1]

> Phone companies are required by law to port your number out when you start service with a new carrier. According to the FCC, a company can't refuse to port your number even if you have an outstanding balance or unpaid termination fees.

I think people are overthinking the problem when it is quite simple: Housing prices have put owning your own home out of reach for the vast majority of young people.

I worked hard to pay my mortgage, feeling happy that I was on my way to owning a house. With a house, I started a family and life was good. I didn't mind putting up with corporate nonsense.

Without a house, I most certainly would not done this. I probably would have kicked around doing odd jobs to save for going backpacking in Thailand. Why the hell would I want to be part of a system that doesn't reward me? There's no reason to buy in (or sell out)
> I can see at least one trivial attack against RANDAO, as is often the case with many-party interactive RNG: you just have to be willing to lose your pledge.

What is the trivial attack, and why does it involve losing your pledge? To the best of my knowledge none of Ethereum's slashing conditions involve the RANDAO, so you've piqued my interest.

Unless by "losing pledge", you mean extra-protocol slashing by social consensus?

You would be doing me a big favor by explaining the vulnerability in this system that I generally consider to be secure.
My commute time is fairly long, it's 76 minutes, and is about the same time in car.
The thing is, public transit for me is more reliable, as I don't rely on specific hours, at peak hours you get your bus/train every 10-15 minutes at most and there is a metro every 3 minutes.

If there are issue on a line, there are apps that will route you away from it.

And the other big thing is, these 76 minutes are not lost, you can do something in this time, for me it's reading a lot on the net.

Now, if you want to do this commute in car, well it won't be good for your mental health, then the traffic will vary a lot, and can add 30-45mins at worst on your commute.
I agree and have completely extracted myself from their ecosystem, but this isn't a reasonable expectation to push on the general public.

> Anyone working 4 day week here, as an employee?

Yes, making the same salary as someone in the same position working 40 hours.

> Where/How did you find your job?

Knowing the right people who value my skills to trust me and understand that work isn't my life.

> If you started at 40 hours per week, how did you negotiate it to 32?

I used to work 40 hours but, since the pandemic started, realized I could do the same job with the same efficiency at 32. Best decision of my life.
I was a little apprehensive at first but warmed up to Kdenlive; while it's very powerful I found it easy to do the simple edits I wanted to do and when I wanted to try something more advanced it was easier than I expected. It's free and OSS so you really haven't go much to lose if you want to take it for a spin.
But why ? You start with the place with the most impact and deal with the long tail later. So NYC should be the first. Several states don't allow direct sales of electric vehicles despite how well it works in other states. It's a pointless legal issue that will drag on for years/decades. If Tesla et al. had the same impunity and legal cover as Uber, they would be selling everywhere, and we would all be better off.
Great, you're one user who likes magic links. It doesn't matter how you (nor I, for that matter) use magic links, the majority of users dislike them for the reasons I highlighted.

When building a site/service/ui/whatever, you take into account the needs of your users, not your own needs exclusively.

You asked: "I really don't understand why so many folks hate magic links." - I responded with an explanation.
> If you are saying that 100% of grading must be manual

That's not what was said though; I don't think anyone has a problem with some grading being automated (e.g. multiple-choice), and software has been used for decades for this kind of thing.

But there are serious limitations to this. If I solve a math problem in the correct way but made a silly mistake in the arithmetic leading to the wrong answer, then this is still a "correct" answer in a way, worth of some points.

And grading math is easy; how would you automate the grading of a question like "describe two reasons why the American settlers declared independence"?

We already automate things and amplify somewhat the power of a teacher... We've been trying computer stuff for decades (and books before). You still need tons of teachers.
Except you have to be able to compile the C code into an executable, which may not be possible on an appliance.
I had a couple really long running matches on XBConnect. One in particular I remember was team shotguns on Lockout (Halo 2); the points-to-win was something absurd like 10,000 and it was lasted all day. People would come and go as the day went on. I took a nap, went outside, came back, picked up the controller, and got right back into it. Really not something, as far as I'm aware, you can do now on, e.g., Halo MCC over Xbox Live. Good times!
I used to use MythTV. I even built a PC with a device that could pull video from a cable box. There’s an IR blaster that will change channels on the cable box, and then a little box that takes the component video from the cable box (no DRM on that) and encodes it (to MPEG-2 if I remember?)

MythTV will process the shows to flag commercial breaks, which you can then skip automatically.

MythTV looks like it’s still an active project.

I stopped using it because I just don’t watch much TV these days and I just got tired of maintaining it. Renting the DVR from Comcast is worth it to me for my meagre needs. But if you’re into TV and don’t mind some geekery, MythTV is definitely a powerful and flexible system.
The article was published in 10-2019. The only reference to 'mg' (not milligrams) I can find was for magnesium chloride. Good question. The amount may be relevant, eg too much niacin, liver trouble. Too little, pellagra. Etc.

I remember Dr Seheult (of medcram) taking somewhere between 600-1200mg (daily) of NAC during the early covid pandemic. Perhaps he's posted an update on the subject.

Edit: the FDA was aiming to regulate NAC (to Rx only) in 2020-2021, resulting in Jarrow (a large producer) discontinuing it from their product line. It became difficult to find for several months, from any producer, anywhere. Many outlets removed it from inventory.

I've not read or heard anything lately. Maybe the FDA has been sidetracked with other efforts to regulate something of equal or greater evil. Rx hotdogs maybe. Prescription cigarettes. Pfizer Transfats, or... pfas marmalade.

It's called "class warfare." America isn't one nation: it's a hierarchy of classes. The managerial/administrative class is superior to the proletarian educator class in the hierarchy. They don't want to listen to what teachers have to say just like a baron didn't want to listen to what his peasants think. They are seen as a highly redundant exploitable resource, thus they are disposable.

The author feels all these things, but she can't properly interpret them because she's still under the spell that there's good faith at the top, that we are one nation trying to work together the best we can. She would have to believe this to maintain her self-worth as a pillar of the system. If she didn't, she would lose faith in the significance of her job. She would see herself as a conditioner of slaves, not as one who enlightens the lives of others with knowledge. Once she loses this faith, she'll either become a dead, dispirited teacher, or she'll quit. Right now, she's in the twilight zone between idealism and jaded realism.

The inequality and unfairness is not a bug: it's a feature of the class system. In order for the high to live like demigods, we must be trodden under foot to level the field for their opulent lives. They can't live as they live if we aren't forced to live as we live. It we weren't constantly in fear of losing our jobs and ending up on the street, to openly die as passersby mock us, reaffirming the value of compliance in their minds, we wouldn't endure the hardships we suffer. We wouldn't work for minimum wage. We wouldn't consent to clearly unfair exploitation. But since utter ruin and death is the consequence of refusal, we keep running along and comfort ourselves with a whole host of delusions and distractions that make us feel better about our servitude.

There will be no empathy from those who build their dreams upon our nightmares.
Right, but how do you know that your stopping and considering isn't just spinning a larger wheel? What are you accomplishing?
I hope you got the 32-hour agreement in an iron-clad contract. I've seen companies flip the script on people a few months into the job.
New York City, and I don't think it's bad. The effort it takes for me to apply to jobs, and conversely, to approve/reject applicants (according to other people that I've talked to) is easier than having to sort through a ton of junk mail.

People on Hacker News like to propose "just use low-tech!" or "just self host!" often and I don't get how that's a solution. I _could_ spend hours of my day printing out and mailing my resume to companies (if they allowed me to) and waiting days-weeks for my response _after_ they made their decision (during which time I still have to pay bills and have no job) or I could apply with one button on Linkedin and get my response back instantly. It just saves so much time.

Others will say that that's a small price to pay to retain my freedom, which might be true. But what's not true is the other qualities of life that internet and big data affords me. If I don't have instagram or snapchat I literally lose all spontaneous contact with my friends and family. Sure, I _could_ mail them a letter, but with the delay in communication a lot of the intimacy is lost, and we would truthfully just talk a lot less. This, along with a lot of other problems (how do I contact my professor for help after class? go to their house?). Combined with the fact that I would have to be _extremely_ thorough and make sure that my data is scrubbed from all of Facebook/Google/Twitter/Whatever and it's subcompanies, it's just not a real solution. It's actually really annoying that so many are content with infeasible individual solutions instead of advocating for things like pushing against the EARN IT act or the like. I shouldn't have to have a computer science or cyber security degree to be private online - it should be done for me by the government. I don't know what the fuck is in that vaccine (or any medicine I take for that matter) but I can trust that it does me good because of regulations.
> When they were starting, taxis had regulatory capture with their de facto monopoly.

That might be true in some areas, but it certainly isn't in others. And nothing was stopping Uber from being a regulated taxi operator. Instead they were just friends using a networking platform to give each other rides (imagine heavy air quotes throughout that sentence)... while the networking platform set the prices and set the costs and took a large cut...

And in reality Uber et al are already far more expensive than taxis were before they took over. They're also subject to most of the same regulation... except the ones that kept pricing down and predictable/plannable... as taxis were, to boot.
You might think it’s a nitpick, but vitamin E is a fat soluble vitamin that usually coexists with other fat soluble vitamins. Taking any one of A,D,E,K without the others can cause problems.

That supports your concept of eating nutrient dense food. But I also think supplements can help a lot when done wisely (but most supplementation is probably not done wisely).
I think the issue is that you're trying to optimize for patient privacy, quality of health care service, and doctor productivity.

The other commenter is trying to optimize for "doctor does not go to jail".

The two goals are mutually exclusive in this case.
Using Cronometer to track daily (micro)nutrition is what convinced me to take a daily multivitamin.

It takes quite a varied, deliberate diet to fill up all the nutritional progress bars. I don't do it every day and some days I can't even do it with what's left in my fridge. Some days I feel like filling up on only three things.

I figure a multivitamin can fill in some holes.
This is why I’m something of a two factor authentication Luddite. I (think) I understand the benefits - but the fact that every factor is an additional single point of failure freaks me out.
No idea who Gerald O'Neil is, but he's absolutely wrong. The entire world consumes about 20 TW of electricity. At the same time, we receive about 200000 TW of energy from the Sun. We are in a rough balance, so we also radiate about 200000 TW. 20 TW is not even a rounding error. If we increase our electricity consumption by a factor of 100, it's still going to be a rounding error compared to how much we receive from the Sun and then radiate into space.
Is rollback netcode and prediction really that good that people enjoy playing realtime multiplayer without worrying about latency?

20ms is considered really good ping, but humans can react faster than 20ms. Yet even fighting games are played online. I get that they have good netcode but how does that work?

Meanwhile LAN or an actual wire across systems means almost no ping, and almost no penalty for transmitting extra data. If you wanted you could potentially even use memory-mapped I/O (although that's probably a bad idea). No more complex workarounds required to simulate realtime interaction among distant systems.
It also severely distorts our idea of the past, which was mostly reinforced by reruns and rebroadcasts. Major celebrities from the past had their entire careers wiped, especially if they primarily worked in live TV, or on the DuMont network:

"In the earlier '70's, the Dumont network was being
bought by another company, and the lawyers were in heavy
negotiation as to who would be responsible for the library of the
Dumont shows currently being stored at the facility, who would
bear the expense of storing them in a temperature controlled
facility, take care of the copyright renewal, et cetera.

"One of the lawyers doing the bargaining said that he
could "take care of it" in a "fair manner," and he did take care
of it. At 2 a.m., the next morning, he had three huge semis back
up to the loading dock at ABC, filled them all with stored
kinescopes and 2" videotapes, drove them to a waiting barge in
New Jersey, took them out on the water, made a right at the
Statue of Liberty and dumped them in the Upper New York Bay.
Very neat. No problem."

If you did this inside Apple Inc. headquarters, you won't be just fired but they will make sure that the secret Apple agents in suits will permanently vaporize your TikTok accounts and other social network accounts that have such videos.

But indeed. This is why we definitely need a recession.
I know the COI members will downvote this, but I do not associate with people who constantly interrupt others. Because they’re often impolite in many other ways as well. I love my life not communicating with them.

And I think there’s a correlation between people who have a constant desire to assert dominance over others, and people who often interrupt. It’s like the earliest red flag for me. I know because I used to be a COI member a long time ago.
They cancelled the CSAM scanning project. In contrast, Google has been doing CSAM (and apparently AI porn detection) for years.

Also, the bone-headed Apple plan had safeguards that would have prevented the victim in the article from losing their account.

The two policies aren't remotely comparable.
Note that this applies more for python than efficient languages. In python, objects are big, and require an indirection. In faster languages, many objects can be smaller than a pointer and stored inline. As such, dictionaries that have vectorized lookups generally can be made faster.
This article seems so gentle to me. I’m surprised American culture is so tolerant of people interrupting. I am from a country where the culture is a lot more formal and here interrupting is seen as extremely impolite and by the second time you do it everyone will probably think you act like a child and treat you like one.

And Albert Einstein only had pencil and paper!

"The book examines Einstein’s theory of general relativity through the eyes of astronomers, many of whom were not convinced of the legitimacy of Einstein’s startling breakthrough. These were individuals with international reputations to uphold and benefactors and shareholders to please, yet few of them understood the new theory coming from the pen of Germany’s up-and-coming theoretical physicist, Albert Einstein. Some tried to test his theory early in its development but got no results. Others — through toil and hardship, great expense, and perseverance — concluded that it was wrong."
> Uber could have confined themselves to the secondary cities with terrible cab service.

They've improved certain qualities of cab service here in Austin (like availability) but they've also severely diminished other qualities (like knowing that your driver won't drive straight past the exit because they don't speak English and don't know the roads and don't look at their GPS; or like demand-based pricing).

> People would (and some did!) have greeted them like liberators.

Yeah, because they were running a huge loss-leader to make themselves seem better than the competition until the competition was gone.

I agree that they don't get a pass but... ugh. Their practices, ignoring all law and regulation which apply to them, were not/are not okay no matter where they took place.
FSD is a level 5 system, but it just has too high error rate to give it full control. It's a beta software for a level 5 system.

Level 5 means that the system is designed for autonomous driving in every situation. It's not a metric whether the system actually works. There will be multiple level 5 systems on the road some day, and some of them will make mistakes more than others. Just like all technology and software, it's impossible to make these systems perfect.

Yes, Elon overpromised and they failed to deliver in time. This was compensated by cheaper prices, just like is usual in beta programs. Today, FSD is already insanely good and can drive 99% of time without human intervention.

It's still not good enough, and it's multiple years late from original forecasts. Still, I wouldn't call it a scam. It's a delayed project with a pre-order/beta program, but given it's huge complexity and importance, I'm willing to forgive them. When it's ready, no one cares that it was a few years late.
Somehow we lost the understanding of offline-first, though back when I learned about it in the .NET Compact Framework days, it was just assumed - you had a Pocket PC with some cellular sure, but that was expensive and unreliable, and Wi-Fi wasn't a guarantee. Hopefully at some point you could get your Pocket PC docked in a cradle for Exchange ActiveSync, but otherwise it was almost Wi-Fi, IrDA, or bust.

So yes, you have a small SQL Server Express cache of data and you build around syncing data and working with it offline.
There's another factor too: Steam just plain doesn't change the store that much. When I open the Steam store to browse, I bypass literally everything to scroll to the bottom of the page. There I will find a few tabbed lists. One will show me new and "trending" games (I have no idea what they consider trending), one will show me the current top selling games, and another will show me upcoming games that are receiving hype. I rarely ever view anything else on that page unless they're running a seasonal sale.
After looking through their landing page, I totally agree, this looks perfect. Thank you!
