Jack Welch got very rich and maintains a great reputation as a business leader despite destroying the company, and wrote a book to brag about it. "Getting away with it" is a key part of a juvenile power fantasy that motivates a lot of people, and at least one political party.

Thatcher was not prime minister when the DTI was established. She was prime minister when the BBC Micro was developed and released. Did she play some role in the development or approval of the project?

Wikipedia's history doesn't mention anything about politicians being involved. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro#History
I was lucky and no project started yet, just ideas. He's shown me a company overview for his current freelance business to extend a business loan from his bank. Financial forecast. He just needed some feedback if it's well presented. There I saw he added me as headcount ("hope you don't mind") but also way overpromised on revenue of his existing projects, future client projects (not even started in reality) and overdue invoices (where it was clear the client would never pay). It was 80% smoke and mirrors. It was then I decided I wouldn't work with him in the future. Sometime later I heard he had to file for bankrupcy. A new startup would've been disasterous in my opinion.
Yes. The problem is not MBAs, the problem is management incentives and shareholder incentives.
> That said, things like Approval have the opposite problem, in which moderates are given an advantage (some approval people will say this is a feature, not a bug).

This is a weird way to say that representing the population is a bug.

Your example election would be a compelling argument if population preference was more of a multimodal distribution rather than closer to a unimodal distribution. Despite the US's current division, it is nowhere near as divided as your scenario.
Divide those figures by 10 might be closer to being accurate. 120ms is quite noticable. I know as I need to adjust latency out of Bluetooth headphones for recording. Recording with those latencies sounds like a disaster and is very very much noticable even with sounds let alone vision
They workout the issues like everyone else, and at a certain size the issue is minimized as you are either in several whitelists or human moderators recognise your domain.

Poor kids in America already get all of these, even free healthcare. The families of middle class kids have to pay for all of that, but not the families of poor kids.

Quadruple all these programs and you'll still have a situation where some kids want to do well but simply don't have the brains for it, and some kids who could do well but have shitty parents.

Ask HN: A career in desktop (C++) or web app development-which would you choose?
I've just graduated and am job hunting. I've focused my search on web dev roles, yet much to my surprise recruiters are contacting me more often about desktop development jobs (C++). This surprises me as I'm a competent web developer but have only minimal C++ experience. I'm currently interviewing for both C++ and web dev roles at different companies. I may need to choose between these two areas soon, and this decision feels consequential as it may determine the direction of my career. I'm seeking advice about which path to take. Which would you choose? Which has the brightest future in 2022?
I think all of these apps behave deplorably. But these kinds of comments try to imply that TikTok is uniquely dangerous when it's just more of the same. The solutions offered also often target TikTok specifically - like banning TikTok in the US, or placing some kind of restrictions on how TikTok can operate.

Why is the solution not to make broad data collection illegal?

Edit:

> So should no one speak out against concentration camps, cultural genocide, and mass sterilization in China today because the same things have happened historically in the United States?

Not at all - those things are genuinely awful, but one key difference is that Facebook, Google, and others are still siphoning up people's data today. This isn't something that happened in the past. I think the comparison is quite valid.

Generally I think of it in terms of number of frames @ 60 fps.

Anything below one frame (16.66ms) and whether or not any sort of real feedback is even received (let alone interpreted by the brain) becomes a probability density function. With each additional frame after that providing more and more kinesthetic friction until you become completely divorced from the feedback around 15-20 frames.

I think Zig is pretty cool. I have played with it a bit. My main complaint I think is that the toolchain is pretty hard to get working right in windows, though its a breeze on linux. The only reason I would care about windows, is that I think it looks like a great language for game development since its fast, pretty easy to write, and interops with C/C++ pretty easily.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess you aren't married.
Low sales from smaller phones is more likely because the smaller phones aren't just smaller, they have fewer features.

It's not an apples-to-apples comparison. Going from a 6 Pro to a 6 doesn't just mean it's smaller, it means going from a 120 hz screen to 60 hz and losing the telephoto camera, ultrawide front camera, 512 GB storage option, and ultra wideband support.

Going from a Pixel 6 to a 6a gets a lower-quality, 60 hz screen, loses the 256 GB option, and gets only a 12 MP front camera.

Put all the features of the 6 Pro into the 6a form factor, and THEN you can have the apples-to-apples comparison and decide if people actually want large phones.

Sounds excellent. I would send that link around to a lotta people.
You simply get used to it. In many industry sectors (think CPU architects), multiple layers of inception is the norm (crossing multiple operating systems), and it is not strange for a keystroke to take 2 seconds, and for a menu to open and finish rendering in 10 seconds. This "experience" is probably the reason why I can still comfortably work over a DSL link with just network X (even though I still find NX much more comfortable).

You really just adapt your way of interacting, and start planning more carefully every one of your actions instead of simply clickety-clacketing everywhere like if you were trying to win a game of Starcraft. It's practically subconscious and it really changes you.

I always think it must be much, much worse for blind people.

It also reminds me of people who complain that 5-minute build times "impair their productivity". How do you even work on _any_ mid-sized commercial codebase then ? It's not that uncommon for a build to take hours (e.g. games), and in engineering it is also not that uncommon for builds to take _days_ even on powerful server farms.
Agree. This is truly awful industrial design. And I say that as someone who very much appreciates Google's design inspiration in hardware.

And I think the fact that "prove me wrong" was included the first time, that Velc (making the same misinterpretation you did) thought it was "snide" to insinuate that the OP was gay, and that you jumped in to a thread seven comments down to tell me that you were "irritated" that I was calling the OP "homophobic" puts the lie to that.

No, all three of you are clearly bothered by the idea that someone would be incorrectly identified. Identity matters to all three of you. All I'm asking is that you recognize that it matters to other people too, like for example the DOE grant reviewers.

Ah, so you mean discriminating against Asians for their success?

The idea of all oppressed non-Russian nationalities leaving is... too good to be true, I guess, but a nice dream anyway.
People are trying build green power like crazy. But it's not like you can just create a power generation facility anywhere you want. It has to hook into the transmission system. Because this is somewhat hard to organize, you need a certain scale of investment to do it. You also of course need an area with enough wind and demand for the energy. And land you can use.

On shore wind is not as cost effective as solar or off shore wind either.

This?

Specifically, what part of it do you object to?

>is clear in its intentions without referring to any identity groups

Uh of course if you exclude the parts that do refer to identity groups it doesn't. But when you do include them it's clearly a Christians only club:

1. First of all, love the Lord God with your whole heart, your whole soul, and your whole strength.

10. Deny oneself in order to follow Christ.

21. Prefer nothing more than the love of Christ.

41. Put your hope in God.

42. Attribute to God, and not to self, whatever good you see in yourself.

44. Fear the Day of Judgment.

45. Be in dread of hell.

46. Desire eternal life with all the passion of the spirit.

49. Know for certain that God sees you everywhere.

50. When wrongful thoughts come into your heart, dash them against Christ immediately.

57. Devote yourself frequently to prayer.

58. Daily in your prayers, with tears and sighs, confess your past sins to God, and amend them for the future.

60. Obey in all things the commands of those whom God has placed in authority over you even though they (which God forbid) should act otherwise, mindful of the Lord's precept, "Do what they say, but not what they do."

62. Fulfill God's commandments daily in your deeds.

70. Pray for your enemies in the love of Christ.

72. Never despair of God's mercy.

They genetically engineered a kind of bacteria that divides into non-living 'nanocells' that can't multiply further. These cells contain a special kind of RNA and a cell entry mechanism that lets them enter the cancer cells. The RNA interrupts the cell's ability to prepare for division. The article kind of implied that these nanocells follow the bloodstream pathways that cancer cells open when they metastasize.

The researchers main concern was whether those nanoncells would also enter healthy cells, but the tests seem to show healthy cells were not affected.

I'm not sure that it's just COVID.

You're just in the last 2-3 years landing upon all of the kids who were entirely educated via Common Core.

My niece just finished her degree and got private math tutoring from her parents to supplement what was done in school (which was woefully inadequate). All of her friends are pretty atrocious at basic math. That damage was done long before COVID.
As seen in the article, the invites are simple text files. (I haven't tried, but you might be able to create one with icalendar-export-region?)

I think the more difficult part is sending an email that looks and works right with the invite attached in a way compatible with the receiving systems.

Invitations from Microsoft systems are especially horrible as they look like normal, plain text messages (without an invite) in standards-compliant systems. Depending how the sender expresses themselves, the receiver might have no clue they were invited let alone the time and place.

Totally agree. They only show baselines for the metrics that don't matter, like "Strength gained during first 2.75 years after receiving 2465 ELO" or "Time Between Achieving 2500 Elo and 2700 Elo or Peak Rating".

The most important metric is "Number of games flagged by our cheat detection system", and they don't show the baseline for that.
RCV-IRV doesn't encourage moderate candidates because, in a polarized environment, moderate candidates are much more likely to be no one's first choice and get eliminated as a result.

This isn't hypothetical -- you can look at the results in Seattle's City Attorney race, which strangely ended up electing a Republican to a citywide office for the first time in 20 years, and where the outcome under RCV would have been the same because the moderate candidate (the reasonably well-liked incumbent) didn't secure enough first-place votes, either in FPTP or in RCV-IRV.

Everyone simply should pay the same price per gallon. Businesses that have been abusing the system to get nearly free water will yell and scream, then go find something more productive to do.

Water rights should not be rights and usually aren't rights... Water is owned by the state. The state should just be a utility that charges whatever price it desires to achieve the goals it has. If it wants to reduce water use, raise the price.

Just an idea, without prior knowledge of the common business models of this domain:

Maybe instead of asking recruiters to pay in order to post, just post on their behalf and charge them for candidate applications. You'll need some sort of flywheel to get the marketplace running, so if you're confident you will be able to source relevant candidates, maybe that's your chance.
All these news on image/3d/video generation just show how we live in the middle of ai/ml breakthrough. Incredible to see news with extreme progress in the field like this popping everyday.
Excellent observation/question :D It depends; sometimes, it's worth it, and sometimes it is not (as always with tradeoffs). Graphs are a bit specific because most of the traversals or expensive graph analytics like PageRank touch the whole graph (even multiple times) -> the entire graph will end up in memory -> why not keep it in memory for faster performance?

But for a vast dataset, the hardware cost might be too much. I think we are aware of the tradeoff. We'll probably provide disk first storage option at some point because that's definitely a valid setup (sometimes the only possible setup). Ofc, we'll invest time in making it as performant as possible.

Do you have some specific workload in mind? :D

Looks like I'm in the minority here. I use a VMWare Horizon VM as my primary desktop environment, and I love it! Working from home, VMWare Horizon has much better performance than using a VPN for many things including X11 forwarding to Linux computers on-site, RDP to Windows computers on-site, and accessing CIFS/SMB file shares. And when I do go on-site, I can connect to it from any computer, either using a kiosk, or a colleague's computer if we are collaborating, or any conference room computer.
Psychiatric treatments are largely shooting in the dark yet have always been popular among the elite.

Are there any relational systems which store persistent shared state at the edge, with some kind of automatic geopartitioning?
The Flynn effect ended and reversed decades ago. In developed countries at least. It would be pretty sad if it has reversed in developing countries.
> When people say “the edge,” they mean that your site or app is going to be hosted simultaneously on multiple servers around the globe, always close to a user.

This is the first time I see such a simple description of this. Often you've got the feeling of "magicians" using technobabble to let things look much more difficult or new than they are.
Because the timing is too early they are having to venture into mismatched products to support the endeavour, but when you stop to look at the longer timeline it is quite clear how it fits very well.

Similarly, it is safe to say that Netflix always knew it wanted to be a streaming service but had to mail DVDs until the timing was right in order to get there. Facebook is going through their metaphorical DVD mailing phase. Just another day in the life of business.

I'm not entirely convinced they can get to where they eventually want to go, but that's another story for another day.

"Code is law" is a property of Ethereum Classic, not all cryptocurrency. I don't really see many crypto people arguing that code should supersede law.

I'm no expert but I understand that undo-ing transactions is pretty trivial if you use multi-sig. The owner and the bank (or government) can each have a signature, and a chargeback can occur when both signatories agree to execute it.

By the way, the law already has ways of punishing irreversible actions (i.e. murder, destruction of property).

The only advice I saw them give was to hire lawyers to help them deal with it.

Are you saying this because you have aphantasia and this is your personal experience?

When you say 'you probably won’t visualize' do you mean completely internal/mental visualisations or are you including all sorts of hallucinogenic visualisations typically reported?

(I'm asking these because I have aphantasia and have been psychedelic/hallucination-curious, but still haven't given anything of the sort a try. I do engage with mystical practices, though, have had 'mystical visions' (which had actual no visual component!), and have been curious how psychedelics might compare.)
Because death is terrifying at a primal level that almost can't be articulated.

Anything that reduces the anticipated terror and misery is seen as desirable.

That's mostly what cryonics is about, by the way. It gives hope at your moment of death that perhaps you'll come back someday.

Oddly enough religion is not just about that, but it does serve that purpose often.
