Yeah, we always say that the English alphabet has 26 letters, but there are actually 52 unique symbols you have to learn to read, or 104 if you also have to read/write cursive. Some of these symbols are very similar (if you learn 'o' you will definitely recognize 'O', and likely the cursive variants as well), while others are quite different ('g', 'G', and the cursive upper case G might as well be different letters altogether; the lower-case cursive does resemble 'g').

In civil court, you can typically register a judgement in another country, and use that to begin asset seizure and collection actions.

This is certainly true in common law courts. The judgement can be challenged locally though.

Airflow has always been focused on workflows and it’s tasks don’t have to query data in an external system. You could have code running in airflow that runs a query that is executed by Velox.

Git is true mesh source control system. You only need one .git folder to survive and you haven't lost anything. My memory is fuzzy but with svn if you lost the central repository you were in a world of hurt.

This is what git does right. What git lacks for me is smoothness in interaction with the user. To use git well you must think like git. Which is kinda annoying when I prefer my tools to think like me.

When I moved from svn to mercurial it was absolutely painless. On my next company git was terrible experience. I am sure that git tools and flexibility are amazing for linux kernel and other projects of the scale. But probably are overkill for smaller stuff when a more friendlier user flow will be nice.
Why is this called DeFi? If a dev can nuke an entire app (intentionally or accidentally) it's not decentralized.

Contrary to the HN zeitgeist, I have a lot of excitment for decentralization medium- to long term. But it seems almost everything that's happening in the DeFi space today is about as decentralized as a traditional client server app with mysql.

I feel like the author is leaning into comfort, intuitiveness. You bring up a fantastic point. Often we find data reveals things very unintuitive to human experience. We should always try to make Good Arguments - but without data they aren't always honest beyond feelings.

DARPA is already very willing to fund work outside of academia.

Thaïs for your feedback! I will add an initial instruction to be clearer.
Yeah that's the point of the discussion, the lines are blurring. In your example, you cannot deny that the client has done at least some amount of artistic work, too. If you insist that they are 100% client and 0% artist, then let's look at other situations: What about an art director at a video game company? 0% artist?
Democratic control over things that affect everyone and benefit everyone is necessary to avoid e.g. free rider problems, pollution.

Democratically restricting other people's rights, to the extent that people are not allowed to e.g. subdivide a house into a duplex, all because it would reduce the voters' property values, is immoral and counter productive.

Certain rights should not be subject to democracy to the same extent as other laws. When a country comes up with a constitution enumerating rights and makes amending those rights very difficult, that's saying that those rights should be (to some extent) removed from democratic control.

But you are absolutely right, when people talk about reducing democratic control, they often secretly mean giving power to technocrats rather than returning power to the people.
Sometimes, the problem is just getting to that first call.

If a job offer results in 20 genuine applicants, the company might set up 20 calls.

If the same job offer results in 20 genuine applications and 480 fraudsters, the seconds spent on a CV need to drop drastically for a HR person to make the decision to interview a candidate. And if the fraudsters do well faking a CV, and HR only has time for 20 calls, there are going to be a lot of false negatives (genuine candidates not getting a call back).
Another point of anecdata here: After my AZ booster (2 first vaccines were pfizer) I got a micro stroke (Lacunar Tia). My QoL also decreased after that. Too bad it's currently a taboo to talk about these sort of things.
I guess it depends on what you mean by generalist who's fluent in all of those things — is it someone who has broad rather than deep experience, someone who has both broad _and_ deep experience, or someone who's willing to pick up whatever needs to be done and learn where they have gaps.

I don't doubt C programmers' ability to understand or use webpack (it's tedious, annoying, and often hard to debug, but not conceptually difficult - definitely easier than day-to-day problems solved by C programmers), the question is this the best use of their time & the most cost efficient way to do it (and IMHO the answer for both is that it's clearly not). It looks like we directionally agree.
Does it require atomic clocks? Perhaps that's a reason?

Also, there don't seem to be public research papers about it.
The article argues that building stuff it's complicated because some people want to ponder and analyze too much, hindering innovation and depriving people of good things.

I think you could very well take the opposite position: builders have inflicted plenty of bad on humanity - greenhouse gasses, lead in fuels, deforestation, and so on. Why shouldn't we infer that we need more pondering, analyzing, regulation, to save humanity from the next builder-created plague?

I do not subscribe either of these position, but I think the article does nothing to sway me towards the first.
Again, it's in the discretion of the editor. There has been and still is a lot of sexist, misogynistic, and racist stuff published in the past and today ... horrible stuff.

So you want people to continue publish racist, misogynistic etc. assumptions and implications? Want to understand what your goal is here.

I learned in my methodology class, if you didn't do a controlled experiment it's not possible to claim causation (that didn't stop people in the sciences to put out the wildest claims ... for example in genetics it would be pretty unethical to do a controlled experiment).

My point: in the past it was worse in terms of scientific integrity, racism, sexism (e.g. 60s versus now) etc. Seeing also the progression of the sciences. Show the opposite if you can.

There were scientific trials on poor and black people in the US without informed consent, because they were seen as lesser ... there were horrendous crimes against humanity done in the name of science. I think today it's better, yet you seem to disagree :)

> more likely is that Christians feel a certain affinity towards Israel due to a shared Judeo-Christian heritage

This wouldn't really explain it.

Muslims also have a Judeo-Christian heritage (and even believe that Jesus Christ was the Messiah), and there's no reason to believe the historical parts of Israel would be different if they were under Muslim control. After all, the Palestinians living there prior to Israel's formation preserved all that stuff for hundreds of years.

Edit: To clarify, what I mean is it will appear to be simple once we have understood how it works and how to implement it ourselves.

But the path towards this goal is going to be anything but simple. To begin with it will need a multiple order of magnitude improvement in computational power. I primarily view this as a hardware problem.
How the Picture of Top Secret Folders at Mar-a-Lago Came About
That’s not something to be proud of.
It's pretty easy to build AGI if you relax Asimov's laws of robotics. If you make machines that are allowed to harm people they can effectively build up all the intelligence they need by the following algorithm "mimic others and don't die". Isn't that more or less what humans do? It seems odd we'd expect a general intelligence to come out of something that didn't itself have a general existence. That general existence includes making mistakes in order to learn from experience and making mistakes sometimes entails accidentally harming others. Sometimes it involves coming to an erroneous conclusion that causes that intelligence to deliberately harm others which then gets reprimanded and other agents learn from that.
I actually did a similar thing using a python script! shuffle(all_combinations[: -10]), and repeat forever. Change the -10 to whatever you want: take everything and you've got your solution, put -35 and you've got random dice again. -10 is a nice middle term, also avoids that at the end of the deck results become too certain.

I like the suggestion of having an explicit hard requirement that employees be willing to use and engage with the existing tech stack. It makes it easier to point to the requirements and say “you signed up for this”.

I’m surprised, perhaps naively so, that devs apply for roles featuring languages they actively don’t like (or even hate).

What’s more understandable is a dev picking up a new language/tech stack on a job and discovering they don’t like it. (In that case they still shouldn’t actively fight against it, unless it’s actually detrimental to the company’s progress.)
Judging from the online ads I've seen, seeing naked people from your area is quite popular.

The exciting thing about GFS wasn't even the technology. It was the discovery you made as a new engineer starting at Google (in the 2000s) that from your workstation (and from any job you ran on Borg) you had access to this enormous amount of data stored on GFS across different data centers.

This is the thing that people keep missing. The technology was only the enabler. What made the difference was to have thousands of developers with wide access to the biggest data lake in the world.

Almost nobody gets that when trying to make data lakes, or whatever they are called now, in the corporate world. They focus on vendors and technologies and whatnot. Then ignore that what makes data valuable is access to it by people who don't even know yet what they might do with it.
Yeah... short-termism is a real problem.
But you didn't say there might be cognitive bias.

You stated there was, and implied there is no such bias on HN? I'm not so sure.

My question was to imply - there may be talking points, or "biases" considered conservative/liberal, but this is an ambiguous thing. Often, full perspectives are a mixture of both, but people might still be censored on the "perception" of their tribe, or on individual points. As such, the perceived tribes are not a useful distinction to make.
I'm not sure how inciting a GW myth is at all relevant.

It's interesting b/c someone who appears anti-conservative also agrees, implicitly, that conservatives are represented as more tribal on HN. But that person shouldn't be affected by pro-conservative observation bias (unless they are pro-conservative despite thinking of them as tribal).

For the same reason why you don't send good money after bad. A line is drawn in the sand and while this isn't significant at first - it compounds over time, and allows businesses to divest, avoid new relationships and allow existing ones to become redundant.

From war-mongering, using arbitrary embargoes as political retaliation, to farcical business practices (e.g. the ARM China saga), to a lop-sided approach to intellectual property and using the state to remove competition, both China and Russia have proven to act in bad faith, not respect rules-based order and not be a good business/manufacturing partner.

Google was an early supporter of TypeScript, which replaced their own JavaScript type annotation language in Angular. They did this despite having created Dart, which languished after the Blink team decided they couldn't support a Dart VM in the browser. Dart is now primarily used with Flutter to draw components with the Skia framework. It's also in the upcoming Fuschia OS. I don't think Dart is used much anymore for it's original intent to be used like JavaScript for DOM manipulation.
