Do you have a better description of the journo political academical hivemind? Big brother maybe? Because it was almost Orwellian the way narratives switched and no one admitted at being wrong even as the policies prescribed were either less effective or counterproductive.
Additionally, suburban and rural crime is rising just as quickly as urban crime. This isn't just an urban problem or an argument that dense cities are bad. It's simply that crime is rising in this time of social and economic uncertainty coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic.

That is true for all consolidated markets. Everyone could in theory create a service to compete with Amazon. There is really nothing preventing people from doing that apart from the fact that it is extremely difficult to penetrate that market.

In this sense those are walled gardens, but because of the nature of those markets. E-commerce, telecommunications, datacenter, banking to some degree are all examples of hard to penetrate markets.

The original article goes on to explain that going head to head against solutions that are consolidated in these market are a waste of time and money. Better to find and exploit a niche that is still untouched.

P2 - Apathetic member

P3 - Performing-but-solitary performer

P4 - Performing-and-coach in the company

P5 - Collective intelligence and ability to introduce P3-P4 to other P3-P4 because they’ll do awesome work together.

You may be at P2, but the risk of communicating too much about it, is to demotivate potential P3 into P2.
I'm not sure everyone here is a fan of pg. Personally I don't really know who he is beyond some guy who made money with computers and founded YC and HN. Beyond that, if he ceased existing I'd not notice.
All those can be done in Emacs and Vim though. VS Code is only surprising to people who haven't used serious text editors, which have had these features for decades. But what Emacs, Vim, and VS Code don't have that IDEs do is the idea of proprietary "projects" for building your code that don't work if you don't use the IDE. Instead you are free to use whatever system you want. Makefiles. Cmake. Ant. Maven., etc. Your choice, which you can easily use with any other editor you choose.
Even so, existing ISAs could address more memory using segmentation. AMD64 has a variant of long mode where the segment registers are re-enabled. For the special programs that need such a large space, far pointers wouldn't be that complicating.
Static analysis/tracing absolutely can do a bunch of that kind of thing, particularly catching trivial cases.

But I think it's still a pretty important upgrade when those things are being checked by the compiler, for free, with guarantees, as part of every build, rather than using some side-tool that may be proprietary, deliver oodles of false positives, and so on.
I would say that the particular importance of the measurement is far less relevant than the repeatability of the measurement. In that regard, because IQ is very repeatable in the mid-range, population effects measured by IQ should be considered as evidence of some effect on the neurological system.

Even if IQ is meaningless, this result is still evidence of neurological harm.
Nice! I love the symmetry in:

The future was better in the past. The past will be better in the future.
Thanks for the link to that essay. I feel changed after reading it.
Simple: Release Early. Release Often until it Ain't Broke. Don't change things that Ain't Broke.

I don't think there's much consternation over actual bugfixes. There's consternation over constantly-shifting UIs and APIs.

The only time there's any tension between those two things is when people conflate bugs with poor design. The messy but correct thing to do when you've correctly implemented a poor design is to maintain backward compatibility while also offering the option to use the newer, more correct behavior. See, e.g., strcat() → strncat() → strlcat()
British pound plunges, bonds sink after government announces tax cuts
Would you be happy if they paid him $1 a year and drastically increased his equity stake? That's what CEO comp looks like in small and scrappy. I expect he would take it, and so would most anyone else.
Don’t high road him. Do you really think most engineers truly enjoy their jobs?

Imagine a world where their needs are taken care of outside of work. Do you really think they’d stick around?
<< Pichai responded by saying that telling the entire workforce of cuts is “not a scaleable way to do it,” but he said he will “try and notify the company of the more important updates.”

Importance is clearly in the eye of the beholder. If I were an employee, I would like to know. Trying to hide may do more damage than just adding it on internal news portal. Heavens know I get tons of notifications on everything. This would likely qualify as such a notification, I think.
> Around 10 years ago I was in a diner and had a fantastic cup of coffee. It was full bodied and nearly perfect. I asked what kind of coffee it was and they said Maxwell House.

I find that I can get used to a type or method of coffee, and just drinking something different to change it up leads to it tasing delicious. After a couple weeks of dark roasted illy in a french press, a cup of Folger's in a drip maker will taste great, after a couple weeks of that, I switch types/methods and it's like rediscovering coffee.
Exactly - the lack of evidence isn't evidence of lack; a common mistake.

All we know now is that an "obvious" method of cheating wasn't used. That may be because there was no cheating at all, or a new method of cheating has been developed.
Good question. The honest answer is that I don't know and that's the problem.

A compiler would tell me what all the types should be and if they are being respected. I'd also write a lot of unit tests to make sure that the code is doing what it is expected to as well as enable refactoring more easily. The code isn't formatted consistently, so that also makes it hard for me to read, I'm kind of OCD about that and having tools like eslint/prettier, which do it automatically, makes this super easy to fix. Linting the code would also point out other issues that the compiler misses. Putting it into CI would ensure that all changes get checked and builds would fail, if there are issues.

So I guess that is what I mean when I say 'clean it up'.
Hasn't been my experience at all. I worked mostly decent hours at G, while at startups they demanded 10-12h of work a day, if not more, with little to no perks and lower comp.

Google is far down on the path to becoming a "rest and vest" place like Microsoft, and they don't want that to happen.

When you say you wouldn't be able to make OKRs, is that working normal hours, or working extra hours? From my understanding, Google OKRs are only supposed to be hit at 70%-90%. If you hit 100%, they failed at putting the bar high enough.
Money for me, but not for thee. During times of record profits and huge cash reserves, difficult choices must be made. If you are not passionate about making stakeholders and leadership more money while they decrease spending on you, then you need to rethink your priorities!
> The nonsense about blaming the forest service for putting out a few fires a century ago is like creationists asking why there are still apes if humans evolved from apes.

I'm sorry, I can't agree with that. Have you seen charts of "acres burned per year" in the US for the time frame in question?

I did a bunch of research on western forest fires some years back (summary here: https://www.sevarg.net/2018/08/12/wildfires-in-western-unite...), and part of that was creating a graph of "acres burned per year" based on some data sources that were only in textual format. I really should update it.

https://www.sevarg.net/generated/images/2018-08-11/2018-08-1... is the relevant chart. Back in the 1930s, north of 50M acres/year were burned. The Forest Service "10AM Policy" went into effect in 1935, and you can see the rapid reduction from 50M acres/yr down to 3-5M acres/yr by the 1960s. That low level sustained for quite a few years, and has been creeping back up towards around 10M acres/yr recently - you can find the raw data source I used, with a few more years than on that chart, here: https://www.nifc.gov/fire-information/statistics/wildfires

So... I think your assertion that "it's 100% climate change," given the historical data I've presented, is lacking in evidence. Unless you're going to argue that, somehow, climate change was causing 5-8x the acres burned in the 1930s as now. My interpretation fits the evidence of "aggressive and capable wildfire fighting" as responsible for the vast reduction in acres burned, and that we're seeing just the start of a reversion to historical norms - which involve an awful lot more acres burned than even recent years.
I always wanted to take a challenge in an old boring industry and build something completely new. Myself, my co-founder, and a couple of other guys have looked recently into a very very boring hiring industry and had decided to do something about it.
That's how the idea of Careera.io (https://Careera.io) was born. We have just started this month and currently working on an MLP (minimum lovable product), will launch soon and let you guys know then :)
Basically, we want to completely remove and automate the majority of a very mundane process of hiring on both sides of the market (job seekers and hiring managers). We want to finally introduce a bit of magic into this industry! Wish us luck!

I thought of this. Just to be clear, neither she nor I did any searching on diabetes or anything like that. I can understand this being driven by search, chats, emails, etc. (basically any type of keyboard input). But here, the mode of communication was voice-only.
Search engines find lots of things, including misinformation. Also, people can read a source and misunderstand it, or ignore the parts that are inconvenient for them. That's why links to specific pages are useful.

For example, let's look at the second link...

The study itself explicitly mentions that correlation is not causation. For example, erectile dysfunction correlate with long-term porn use. Okay, but does it prove that watching porn ruins your erection? Or is it perhaps the other way round, that men with erectile dysfunction have more difficulty finding sex partners or perhaps find sex less enjoyable, and therefore spend more time watching porn?

(If you just assume that correlation = bad effect, let me tell you a shocking fact: use of chemotherapy is correlated with having cancer. Perhaps we should also ban chemotherapy. /s)

Furthermore, some of the effects are arguably good: "pornography use may reduce risky sexual behaviors", "women involved in long-term relationships that use pornography more frequently may reveal increased sexual desire towards their partners", "shared viewing of pornography in heterosexual couples correlates with increase of sexual satisfaction".
*only in boys, according to the study

this reads like cherry-picking to me.
I was using a cheap disposable N95 ventilator from Home Depot. Yeah if it gets bad again I will take your advice and invest in a professional mask. Sweating into the mask was probably the worst part, I was having to remove it often to wipe everything down, and the mask was kind of starting to disintegrate after a couple hours. It was, in a weird way, nice to get shocked with the taste & smell of smoke every time I took off the mask, I could tell it was working and helping keep my air much cleaner.
Is there any content though?

> definitely a GPS-based user relationship table somewhere which reflects what you do to everyone they think has some connection to you

I've seen this when I am sharing IP addresses with someone because we're both connected to the same WiFi. Especially if you block meta from being able to get any data about you but the other person doesn't. Meta then get data from that other person because it can't see anything from yourself.

It helps when I'm looking for a gift for my partner - I can see what she's been looking at recently because its most of my adverts in Facebook.

Cost for motor/generators is not changing, but the tech is extremely mature. Costs for electrolysers and fuel cells are both falling fast. Air compression and liquidation are both mature technologies, but might respond to a massive increase in usage by getting cheaper.

A survey of storage technology pilot projects show people doing much more expensive versions of each than will be deployed. The incentives for pilot projects favor over-complex systems based on over-complex processes described in papers that had to be that to get academic attention as novel, and grants likewise.

When civil engineers get involved, systems will get radically simpler and cheaper. Probably designs will trade off efficiency, as the cost for a little extra power is much less than for complexity.
"Killing people" is a pretty important distinction don't you think? Is the government not in the business of protecting the public? If there's a threat to the public, doesn't the government typically intervene?

So no, those two statements are not equivalent, but if you add that additional qualifier that the misinformation is killing people, that becomes a much more serious charge which then implies intervention is a likely outcome.
Romania by itself has the land area for 3.5 TW of electricity average over a year, even assuming 15% efficient PV and a 10% capacity factor; the actual capacity factor given Romanian climate would be more like 5.5 TW; current global electricity use is only 2.7 TW.

Cyprus (the island) has a better climate, so despite its small size, it could produce 137% of the entire EU's current annual demand from PV.

Land use just isn't close to being a limiting factor, so even though PV does indeed need more land than some other things, it just doesn't matter.
I'm the opposite. As someone less familiar with C style string manipulation, all of these examples to map to my current knowledge are great.

Lots of complete working examples let me test my working mental model I develop while learning too.
My easy method to make such a self-contained environment:

- download the Python embedded environment,

- modify `pythonXX.pth` to `import site`,

- install pip in the environment,

- install all dependencies with pip,

- install your code as an executable module (with a `__main__.py` file).

You can ship this as a ZIP file and simply run `./python.exe -m your_module arg1 arg2 arg3...`
Sorry, you don't know what you're talking about. Nobody is truly claiming these models can be used directly for drug discovery (well, some people claim that; but they're wrong). We already knew that, though- the same problem exists with high quality crystal structures.

What would be more interesting is if we did a whole bunch of crystal or cryo-EM structures far from what we've previously determined and demonstrate whether alphafold could make out-of-class predictions for them.
Windows Movies & TV can play Dolby Vision if you install the HEVC and Dolby Vision extension from Microsoft Store.
It runs fine on the M1. iPad support would be the real winner.
This is a good answer. Determine how much the deficiencies matter and make your case. If you're being asked to ship something with a major deficiency and being ignored by the team you need to inform someone higher up. Not always the most fun part of the job.
I think libraries (used as dependencies by other software) and "top-level" software/applications (used by users directly, whether that user is a developer or not) -- have different pressures and concerns.

Libraries should be much more conservative. I don't think "release early and often" was said about libraries.

And yes, it's tricky that it's not always a clear line between these two categories. A unix command line utility is sort of top-level software, but also likely to be use in a scripted/automated fashion.

So it's not always cut and dry, but the more you are aware of software depending on your software, the more careful you should be with releases.
Depends on how you interpret Memegen...
A comparison would be nice. The smoke can be awful, no doubt - but is it worse for a person's health than living near a busy road or highway? That is 24x7, and cumulative over many years.
The reason you don’t oversell your case is because that isn’t persuasive.

In this case, it’s not “a few fires a century ago” it’s consistently suppressing fires over the course of a century. California has an environment that wants to burn, and we just live in it. If we suppress the fires that can be suppressed, we leave around more material that otherwise would have burnt away, leaving mass around that is prone to burn anyway but will now continue to accumulate in the same space for a while longer until fires we can’t suppress burns it all away. Those fires are massive, and threaten entire towns and are much more difficult to control.

So yeah, our forestry policy has left a lot to be desired.
| Two languages can both be Turing complete

Doesn't this just cause the same problems? If language B (the type system) is Turing complete you'll start doing whatever you don't like doing in language A (the host) and end up with similar problems you had in A, but now in B.

I would never want a PC on my desk again. The fan noise would be annoying as hell. Also, the form factor for modern multi-monitors would make them awkward to have sitting ontop of a box like that.

The modern designs are using silent systems like those from Apple with passive cooling, so you're not going to be using a GPU like those discussed here.
> income tax, plus employee and employer NICs

The other tax that individuals get hit by, that megacorps get to avoid, is VAT. Sure, megacorps pay VAT on their inputs; but they claim them back on their outputs. Individuals spend most of their residual income, so that gets taxed at whatever (20% now?). So individuals end up paying something like 70% tax.

VAT is a wicked tax.

[Edited] 20%, not 25%.

It isn't like the trade is that we get to work on interesting problems because the travel budget is slashed. Because of headcount clawbacks and concerns about backfill what I'm seeing is teams becoming more conservative and focused on keeping core customers happy rather than focusing on exciting new problems.
You could argue that running those systems at anything less than 100% capacity is just another kind of waste, which would be true.

It's all just trade-offs. Generating energy that isn't used, or not using assets to their full capacity is just something to deal with based on costs and benefits.

We have plenty of waste and slack in the world today, and renewables seem likely to radically reduce that, so no point getting caught up in worrying about minor inefficiencies. 10 steps forward, one step back is still forward motion.
Lodging in city centers has become outrageously expensive and I talked to several people at Meta recently who were struggling to find decent hotels within their travel budgets. If I had to stress out about affording a room during a mandatory work trip, I'd be pissed too. If you can't afford to put your staff up at a decent hotel near your office, don't make them travel.

I'm going to say the same thing I always say when it comes to E2EE.

E2EE does not mean anything in a world where both ends are owned by the transport layer.

I'm not saying they're doing anything wrong, you could be mistaken and information can be exfiltrated some other way.

But: Either you trust the transport layer or you don't. Saying "E2EE means the transport doesn't have to be trusted" while running a neigh impossible to reverse engineer binary on both ends distrubuted by the network --- *is* trusting the network.
this is the point. too much evidence against it and not enough evidence for it. i just don't trust facebook, google, apple etc.
