> Sounds like they’re stealing that salary, not earning it.

On the contrary – if someone has been at a company for 9 months & had terrible early reviews, the company had about ~6 months to deal with them. In my experience, truly bad hires get lukewarm 30 day feedback, negative 3 month feedback, and are on a PIP soon after.

If you're there after 9 months, it suggests you've demonstrated some level of value to your employer.
Not directly, but yes.
We must hire someone in India, and we were making interviews through Xoom.
HR strongly advises asking the candidate to switch the camera on and take a picture of him, just because it's very common that someone is replaced by someone else during technical interviews.
I'm not old enough to have grown up on Tandy computers(though I recall my parents having what may have been a CoCo when I was very young), I do have have a 1000TX and CoCo 2 as part of my retro computer collection. I really kind of like that 1000TX in my collection. Not only is it one of my favorite XT compatibles(technically it has a 286, but still effectively has an XT rather AT architecture, so it ends up basically being a fast 8088) in my collection, that Tandy graphics and sound also give a bit of a soul of an 8-bit home computer and was pretty well supported by games of the era, especially compared other niche graphics and sound technologies.
There's a huge flaw with the system though.

Living tissue collects organic freeloaders in the forms of airborne bacteria and pests.

A living cow fights off those freeloaders with its immune system and defends against the pests with its hair, skin, and physical reactions to their presence.

A vat of synthetically cultured cow meat has no hair, no skin, no physical reactions and no immune system.

In 2015, Ice Cream manufacturers Blue Bell suffered a listeria contamination that hospitalized 5 people and has had to pay $17.5 million dollars in damages. That was using products safely grown from a living cow but not properly handled by the humans responsible for it.

How will we guard against known and unknown issues in the face of quite fatigable humans who now not only have to follow the safety precautions of safely handling post-living cow meat as well as having to safely and sanitarily grow the meat without the natural protections that the living cow provides and doing all of that for less than the costs associated with feeding and tending to a cow?

All of that being said, I'm not saying it's impossible, just that it's far, far more difficult than people are making it out to be and it has many, many more risks to human health and welfare than are covered in these articles.
This is great! Thanks for writing this!

I have wanted to do something like this for a while, purely for learning. The thing which puts me off is that there is a huge amount of knowledge needed in understanding the features vs the ML.

Could you recommend a base system / reference one could use to get started which explains or bakes in some of the feature / signals engineering work?

Also would this approach work with crypto?
And if you ask young Japanese women, they respond that economic factors, such as the cost of raising a child, work–family conflicts, and insufficient housing, are the most common reasons for not having as many children as desired. Maybe it is this simple/fundamental. :)

Every western country is taking in mass migration to try and push it back somewhat.
Yep, though by the same token it’s also hard to prove something is a bribe even when you just write the politician a check.
I'm not a fan, this looks like terrible advise. If you want to do high quality work, solder header pins onto the board and use crimp-connectors on your lead wires. I don't use flux-core wire, I prefer to apply flux directly to the pads/pins/wires as applicable. As others have pointed out, use appropriate strain relief.
I think a missing part for the propagation of those skill is being able to learn it as a hobby / side project.

I would love to take some classes (and sign up my teenage son, too), but the adult education classes that I could find in the Boston area do not teach basic woodworking, metalworking, electrical, engines skills anymore (I heard insurance is blamed way more frequently than lack of interest). I would gladly pay good money for tuition and access to a machine shop, but it is impossible to find any options.

Edit: to clarify, I am treating this as a hobby (I am happy with my job working on algorithms for things that fly), not a full-time trade program.
I thought that courts ruled that insider trading laws don’t apply to the elected officials who can (and do) get far more information, far earlier than anyone else? Which is a delightful level of BS, but means that such actions aren’t “breaking the law” because… reasons?

The correct course of action would be to say, sure you can trade on info you receive, however your instructions must be made publicly available, and say 7 days ahead of time, and the instructions cannot be rescinded.
This rings true even for clearly necessary fields - I've had clients balk at pricing for a complete revamp of their network. Do you think I googled 'How to setup Company Network Safely' and went to work? Years of knowledge etc; that a lot of these guys don't care to understand

Most people chose to be ignorant in this manner. They'd rather spend as little as possible and denounce your skill rather than understand why xyz costs as much as it does.
It’s exploitative because your counterparty does not have the luxury of choice.

The people who actively work the system to prevent new construction are the same people collecting rents from tenants left without options because of bans on construction.
Hate speech is protected by the First Amendment. It's totally legal.

Why, you ask? Well read Machiavelli's The Prince. He speaks the prince ought to be loved and feared, or simply feared if he cannot be both. Further the only thing that prince must himself fear and avoid is hatred. Hatred is the response to raping and stealing. So Machiavelli says, don't rape or steal, and you won't be hated--he says property and honor, but that's what it means.

But then some psychologists and shrinks got some focus groups together and said, OK, can we tell everybody hatred is bad for your body, it leads nowhere ever in the History we allow you to read, and further never ever let anybody read the passage in the King James Bible:

"I hate them with perfect hatred. // I call them mine enemies." KJV Psalms

If that can be accomplished, maybe the prince wouldn't be so restricted from doing what is in the best interests of his people. Marketing campaign against hatred, make hate speech illegal like they're trying to now (in some ways already have).

Always ask when someone says hatred is wrong, which already is an arrogation of moral authority above the Bible, again, ask: "Are you a shrink or a Viking? Rape and pillage?"

It is up to the powerful to conform to the rules set by the population. Without marketing campaigns against entire human emotions, including also anger and jealousy, like make them illegal, screen for them. Yeah. Never been a reason to be angry. Never be jealous of a man raping your wife. If he's doing it, it's because those better than you deemed it was best for you to tolerate that. Tolerance. Tolerate. Patience. De-escalate. Violence is bad, bad bad, you're a bad boy for being violent, it doesn't matter who started it, violent violent violent violent racist rapist racist rapist racist rapist WHITE--dude. Did they give all that same advice to the aggressor? He sure took it didn't he!

I can't genuinely feel hatred because I don't have a stress response, but if I could, I would feel it, when it made sense to. It's pretty simple, hatred means never cooperating and always defecting with another player in game theory forever because you decided he wanted to exploit you. It's not automatically a bad strategy. In fact, if it's slandered so much, there's got to be something to it.
> Santa Cruz since the 70's has been a very environmentally conscious no-growth city

Dense construction with high-quality public transport is a significantly more environmentally-friendly city design than a sea of single-family homes with mandatory car ownership. The latter may be more superficially "natural" - green swaths of suburbia vs. concrete jungles - but it really is only superficial.

> San Jose style growth

San Jose, like the entire Bay Area, is crippled by the exact same rampant NIMBYism and suburban sprawl as Santa Cruz. Not only would a densely constructed San Jose be more environmentally friendly, its economic growth would be _significantly_ higher.

Underneath all the posturing about the environment and "the feel of the community", the only thing NIMBYism protects is high property values and rents.

EDIT:

> natives who resent 5 story huge San Jose style apartment blocks going up in their beautiful city

I'm sorry, _what_? In what universe is a 5 story apartment building huge or unreasonable in one of the most desirable areas to live in the country?
I think this is wrong.

Silent Gen and Boomers lived in an unusual boom time that hasn't existed before or since. America was the world's factory and everyone else was out of commission. We had it all, and that'll never happen again. Now we're reverting to the mean, and it'll be okay. We still have great wealth.

Just look to the developing nation algorithm. Our wealth is being spent on bringing up other economies (giving us cheap stuff in exchange). That's not a bad thing.

People aren't having sex (or children) because of Internet, TV, porn, social media, modern work habits, etc. You can't unplug from it.

Furthermore, raising kids used to give you an extra farmhand or house cleaner. Now it gives you an expensive equivalent of a dog. Plenty of folks don't want the trouble.
Ditto but mine was a TL with TWO 1.44MB floppy drives that I later crammed a massive 10MB hard drive into and dangled a 300 baud external modem off of!

IIRC that thing was like $1500 in 1987 dollars. I have no idea at all how my parents could afford it but I'm sure glad they did. Every single dollar I've earned as an adult was because of that purchase.
This is part of it. I think the rise in fertility options plays a part here as well—many people are choosing to start families later in life than was realistic or possible 20 years prior. This has been a well observed trend that has been going strong since the 1980s.

If you're female and want to pursue a career, you can now do that and wait until later in life to have a family. Wasn't long ago where that choice was binary.

That's a good point. We all ask our questions in some open Slack channels so that might have a lot do it with it actually.
From a rational perspective, this doesn't make sense. But from an emotional and impulsive perspective, it makes perfect sense. People are not entirely driven by rational thinking especially when it comes to trivial tasks like going to the store to buy something, which people usually expect to go smoothly.
The 2nd of those links is Matt Levine's truly delicious Bloomberg story / column. Highly recommended, and I was going to link it myself.

Recommending that other people avoid a certain page because it contains "strange posts" without further elaboration is definitely inviting the "unnecessary callout" remark.

As HackerNews is a discussion site, not your personal blog, some further elaboration on why you consider the guy's posts "strange" (and why you even consider "strange" being a bad thing in itself) would be in order.
Could that have been 2.5 Admins episode 78? They were discussing the incident where a radio station broadcast a corrupted image file that bricked Mazda radios that received it.
Sure, but what we're talking about is working with consulting companies and agencies who are assumed to have done their own vetting of their employees, and are representing the skills of those employees accurately to the companies that contract with them.
I have a 1995 BMW R1100GS. You could do almost anything to that motorcycle using the toolkit that lives under the seat.

The one exception is checking the valve clearances; that requires feeler gauges that weirdly aren't included (although the kit includes feelers for the ABS sensors and valve checks are necessary every oil change). I haven't replaced the final drive lube because, without removing the rear end, it requires suspending the motorcycle vertically, although I have siphoned much of the lube out and replaced that.
This is a bad argument. Units exist to make things easier to communicate, using lightyears or kilotons makes perfect sense for contexts where they convey more information directly than petameters or terajoules. Especially since the conversions aren't exactly difficult to remember for anyone who needs them.

Here the use of milliangstroms easily conveys the information that bond lengths are measured in angstroms and thus this is a very small correction, picometers would not convey that to anyone not already familiar with typical bond lengths.
AFAIK Marxism isn't about equal outcomes, but it is opposed to enforced classes. So a Marxist would likely argue you shouldn't have lower and advanced courses separate, but you'd still have one course with a distribution of grades. The teacher would just focus more on the kids that need more help to improve the mean of the distribution, where our current method would create unnatural multi-modal distributions

If you're opposed to Marxism you should also know "double-speak" comes from a book written in support of socialism[1]

I wasn't even thinking about the fact that it leaves a paper trail. I was just thinking about the fact that the company who ostensibly hired "John Doe" is being given payment details for "Jack Frost".
Because it’s important to see the world with eyes of all people. Otherwise your living in a bubble I fear.
The study is carried out by the National Fertility Survey. Declining fertility rates drive immense problems in societies, and Japan is at the forefront of this because of both their age and fertility rates.

Relationships are important on a micro scale. Fertility is absolutely critical on a macro scale.
I have the same perspective, and have had the exact same experience with supervisors "forgetting where they get ideas from" (not just me but also others working with them).

One related thing that's been on my mind a lot lately is people or projects who are/were ahead of their time, and as a result didn't really maybe get enough credit as they should have.

Sometimes being "ahead of one's time" suggests someone or something eventually getting a lot of attention for seeing things before everyone else. But sometimes I think people and projects ahead of their time just get forgotten and/or lost because they were never really supported enough to begin with.

I guess in general I often feel as if credit is as much about the audience as it is the creator. If someone has an innovation but no one else understands it, it's falling on deaf ears and often is lost.
This is extremely useful to me as a _hobbyist_. Many of the critiques in this thread are valid, but probably not relevant to the hobbyist environment.

For me, I struggle to get solder even in the best of circumstances. It's just a skill that I cannot master. I really, really like this technique as it enables me to make passable hobby solders without risking messing up my project.
UCSC sits on 2,000 acres

Exaggerated threats is standard soviet negotiation and the current leadership of Russia are creatures of that culture of negotiation.

There really is a lot of truth in Mark Twain's old adage: "Buy land, they're not making it anymore."

I think there is a certain amount of delusion in expecting any static resource to meet monotonically increasing amounts of demand.
"We like our city as it is and don't want it to grow."

Soon followed by

"We can't afford to live in our city because rich people are outbidding us for the very limited housing."

Same story as everywhere else. You make your bed, you sleep in it.

And this part is hilarious but telling:

> Homeless is a problem but Santa Cruz tries to handle it a progressive way, for example, by setting up the homeless camp next to the courthouse and providing it with services

Setting up slum cities is now the standard of progressiveness in America.
Crimping is better if you're an industrial facility and you can afford to scrap a few parts working out how to crimp them.

If you're an individual making runs of 1 and you have to crimp a different connector to a different wire every time, soldering is easier and more likely to result in a reliable connection.
Hopefully Apple keeps moving in the direction of better embracing PWAs. I am encouraged that iOS 16 includes support for web push notifications. This suggests to me Apple may be more willing to embrace PWA web standards.
The ice maker in my Samsung refrigerator has failed. Too late, I now know this is common for the brand. The part costs £100 ($100). The fridge was kind of expensive, with a deli drawer, French doors, etc.

The refrigerant line for the entire fridge loops naked through the ice mechanism. Apparently, it is all too easy to nick the line, bricking the entire appliance.

Accordingly, no repair person will touch it. I’m moderately competent with mechanical and electronic things, and I would try it, but I’d like a second brain, set of eyes and pair of skilled hands. No one is stepping up, presumably to avoid dealing with the hassle we’d have if we fail, myself included.

I do like ice.

Do I:

a) Give it a shot myself risking a £2500 refrigerator.

b) Keep trying to find someone who will fix it. Offer them some kind of waiver on replacement cost if they fail.

c) Continue to make ice in trays, a few at a time, whilst the broken ice maker mocks me.

d) Get a countertop ice maker for £100.
The guy organising it appears to be living in a lower middle income country with technical skills limited to badly installing WordPress plugins and doubts about his spoken English.

Even if he actually has the capability to become a really good programmer, I'm not sure he's going to beat getting half of potentially dozens of US-based developers' contract incomes for less effort than spamming job boards and running a Slack channel
You've been quite unspecific in expressing your opinion: how can we evaluate your suggestion of not browsing that guy's feed without actually browsing it to find out what "strange posts" means to you?
pypy argues that considering type annotations gives them less useful data than their existing tracing does, and thus pypy wouldn't be faster if it considered them. Something like mypyc by design has no chance of doing tracing, and thus has to work with annotations. (I also don't see where you get the claim from that that mypyc has better optimizations than pypy? But the two also follow different designs, so they might be good at different things)
>How can we learn what people's goals are if we aren't willing to ask?

Place it in context of the culture. One that hammers the importance of family and community. Where every year, without fail, on Christmas Eve and Valentine's, tons of individuals lament being alone or being asked by parents when their child will find someone.

The goals are pretty on the nose. Of course, you're more likely to find them in the far less academic women's magazines and whatever manga incorporates romantically.

That's true. And yet, the linux kernel consistently has bugs like these in it. If you want exploitable vulns in literal media codecs go have fun taking a look at the history of ffmpeg.

I love open source. In so many ways it is uniquely responsible for the development of our technology landscape. It is observably not a meaningfully different path to secure code than closed source development.
My neighbor activated a DSL connection at home, and went to Best Buy without me. She came home with a cable modem.
Huh. A couple months back, I helped someone replace a broken stud in their garage with some C-clamps and hammers. On a lot of vehicles, it's just "press the old one out, pull the new one in."

But there's a reason that r/justrolledintotheshop talks about "uggaduggas" as a torque spec - to make fun of the people who just let an impact driver pound away at things like lug nuts. Cross threaded? Screw it, more uggaduggas! It'll snap when someone takes it off? Not My Problem!

Oddly enough, it's not always righty tighty. I rode motorcycles that had axles that were the opposite (so normal rotation would tighten them), and it was well known on the forums that if you let a shop just go at it, they'd try to loosen it, tighten it, smash the spacer, and your wheel bearings would then fail in short order. I always either watched the shop take my wheels off, or just took the wheels off myself and took them in to get the rubber replaced (alarmingly frequently - I was riding a lot).
> voters feel it's in their interest to not change things

I mean, in a sense it is. NIMBY-dominated suburbia might be a disaster for the environment, economic growth, and the well-being of newer and poorer residents, but it does an excellent job of keeping homeowners' property values sky-high.
Given he stated he was a native, why would he (your pedantry aside)?
Careful. My friend used Revolut virtual cards and forgot to deactivate the card after the purchase. Months (or a year) later he got a fraudulent charge and Revolut refused to waive it because they claim he should have deactivated the virtual card. If it were on a regular credit card he may have just been able to dispute it.
A few use-cases:

- Accessing geo-restricted content (BBC iPlayer, Hulu etc)

- Routing traffic over untrusted wi-fi hotspots (Starbucks, libraries etc)
We don't normally call hardware or firmware implementations an 'interpreter'.

Almost all execution techniques include some combination of compilation and interpretation. Even some ASTs include aspects of transformation to construct them from the source code, which we could call a compiler. Native compilers sometimes have to interpret metadata to do things like roll forward for deoptimisation.

But most people in the field would describe CPython firmly as an 'interpreter'.
I am already doing that (with NoScript), since browsers started supporting video, but not supporting reliable way to stop autoplay.

OTOH, i see why things like adblocking is extension. That makes browser neutral with regard to content, while different plugins can bring different policies.
