Interestingly. Thats the main reason im still on an iPhone.

I dont use Apple Music or iTunes anymore, it has caused too many headaches.

But i DO use PlexAmp. And it works great, works with FLAC, will transcode, and allows you to selectively cache things.

Its not perfect. There are hiccups with transitioning to Carplay for example. But in general, if not for PlexAmp, i likely would have ditched iPhones after having them since roughly the 3gs (with a few google/Android phones smattered in between, namely the Nexus One and Galazy Nexus).

Owning a car gives me the freedom to do a ton of things I simply wouldn't be able to do if I relied on public transportation / ubers / rental cars:

- Last minute or long term road trips.

- Get my 3 kids to 3 different activities in different parts of the city after school.

- Pick up cheap furniture from Craigslist/ FB Marketplace as soon as it's posted.

- Camping

- Coach youth sports and transport all the necessary gear to practices/games/tournaments.

I vote pro public transportation every time and use it for day to day work commuting. But it's really not hard to imagine ways that personal car ownership equals freedom for a lot of people.
If you have permanent residence via a (non-provisional) green card then your employment is not relevant.
The problem isn't knowing what the problem is (taxonomy and ontology), but how to implement it effectively.

I've seen enough of Hillel's posts over the years that I am fairly sure he is aware of taxonomy/ontology too.
It's not uncommon for ex-military to take such jobs as a way to insulate the Pentagon (or your favourite government) even though they in fact still 'work'for them.

This was (still is?) a classic of French influence in Africa, for instance.

Here my interpretation is that the US keep a close watch on the Saudis...
I sometimes forget it with the superttoo but I do t want to be counted as not caring.

I'm not sure this exaggeration paints the right picture.

> The study's limitations include using grades which were awarded part-way through the school year.

I think this explains a lot more than they seem to give it credit for. It's already been established in studies that boys will tend to cram for an exam while girls will work steadily throughout the year (hence, why courses that are heavy on coursework favour girls, and those heavy on exams favour boys.)

So it's entirely possible that the girls really were ahead of the boys part-way through the year, and the boys crammed for the exams at the end and overtook the girls.
Happy this article I wrote is of value to y'all. Lmk if you have questions and I'll try to respond where I can.
I don't know much about this topic.

The only thing I learned: if you think you have a taxonomy, then you don't.
Ahh sorry about that our permission only let's admins close threads right now but will fix that soon
We've had very little GoF research, in large part because it's controversial. There have been several outright bans, and the issue is so emotional that many scientists probably avoid it just because the costs are high.

I am not necessarily in favor of GoF research, but I recognize a broken argument when I see one. In the face of a clear policy preference to dissuade GoF work, the question "why didn't [the very limited GoF work that we allowed to take place] produce huge numbers of beneficial results" isn't really an interesting question about the usefulness of the research, since it might just as easily reflect a (known) pre-existing policy bias.

We're in a rapidly-developing new era and have just seen clear evidence of how devastating a pandemic can be. The question we should be asking is whether we're using every tool at our disposal to defend ourselves from the next one, and that requires some careful and dispassionate weighing of risks/rewards. The arguments I see don't meet that standard at all.

Hey rodrigo - randomly dropping by to say that your post inspired to go after a remote job and don't quit at the first attempts. ("Look wife, this guy sent many applications and he writes super well, I must keep trying and it will work out...")

Well after a few months, a company made a job offer and I'm very happy. Thank you!
That is probably true. I suppose the real question is what the primary goal of home schooling is. If it's primarily to prevent liberal indoctrination, I expect that will have poor outcomes. If it's primarily to avoid the hazard of daycare for teenagers and classes aimed for the lowest common denominator (no child left behind), as well as the hazards of an environment that won't let people fail and can't reasonably handle disruptive behavior (by kicking out bad students), I would expect that might lead to better outcomes.
The role of "Product Engineer" is a deeper solution to this issue that I find appealing.

But let's do away with the term "engineer" almost completely, because what the average web application developer is doing is hardly engineering. The tools are at the point where most of the computer engineering has been abstracted away to the point where developers can primarily focus on business logic. Most experienced web application developers that I know have already been doing product work in their day-to-day routines. People who actually write code in direct contact with customers and their needs is highly efficient.

Our industry needs an order of magnitude less people who do not write code. In my view everyone should be a programmer of some sort. Our management tools are programmable yet management will not lower themselves to the ranks of the manual laborer and instead will choose to hire someone to program their management tools for them. This is highly inefficient. I'm sure we would see less meetings if management actually had something worthwhile to do with their time.

I do see a need for computer engineers in that they should write the tools that the other programmers use for these kind of domain-specific purposes.

Interesting article, bad title.

Not that I don't appreciate the effort, but the more articles I see like this, it starts to make me wonder. In the future will I have to write a full report with infographics every time I debug or optimize something?

Imagine how much more productive engineers could be these days if they didn't have to do a presentation or book tour every time they solved a problem.
So tons of energy (and mental energy) was wasted, graphics cards were hoarded and abused, and in the end nothing of value was gained. Sounds like crypto to me :)

I'm glad the author took some positive experience from it though. There is something "fun", or at least gratifying, about going all in on something even when it puts you through hell.

Tagging’s pain is that it’s a problem that is easy enough where you can come up with plenty of ideas without prior knowledge. Its bane is that it is, in this sense, similar to bikeshedding. Everyone can have an opinion about it; Fortunately, it’s only appealing to people who enjoy exploring problems.
We could compare against other industries.

I am also wondering how many died of old age or depression in NASA while they were testing and scrubbing and delaying again.

It's linux under the cover that you can connect to if you know the password (in the settings).

I'm not sure there's anything preventing you from installing write by stylus labs other than that no one appears to have ported it to the device.
To be fair to OP, the biggest hurdle in learning anything is knowing what questions to ask. When you don't have ontology as part of your vocabulary it's hard to find literature regarding, say, "comparison of ontologies for user-generated text content".

I suppose this flows back into library science, which is all about systematizing where to look for answers to questions, but I'm always astonished to find that there's oceans of literature and research in questions I haven't even thought to ask.
It is technically true that one could use voice over IP to talk to someone long-distance over the internet before y2k. There were demos of this in the 1970s and 1980s starting on the original ARPANET. There were commercial software products to do this. By the mid 1990s there were open source tools like vic and vat to do audio and video conferencing over multicast. In 1999, the SIP protocol standard was released, and this represented working technology that had multiple implementations.

In the mid 1990s, the telcos in the US were lobbying hard to ban VOIP because it was already obvious that this was going to disrupt their traditional long-distance toll business.

So, I think this argument just reduces to the basic statement that you don't appreciate this nostalgia if you were not yourself enjoying the early internet.

It is ironic that the article writer is thinking of an "old" internet from 2007 and later. I was among the horde who ruined the internet after Endless September, which references a turning point in 1993 when the old, rarified internet got sullied by the masses.

H1-Bs do have a path to permanent residence and so citizenship.

There are some weird things that a "particle" can do. I'm counting like 3 ways particles can be weird, very weird, extremely weird.

Anyway, for these experiments, a particle is just a photon (or an electron). It can be approximated quite well using a small ball that is like a small rock. And even with the small ball approximation, you can reproduce the Bell's inequality experiment. It does not depend in the weirdest parts.

> About 20,000 cases of thyroid cancer cases were registered in the period 1991−2015 in males and females, who were under 18 in 1986 for the whole of Belarus and Ukraine, and for the four most contaminated oblasts of the Russian Federation. The Scientific Committee now estimates that one in four of those cases is attributable to radiation exposure.

This is not about Germany, but about the area much closer to the power plant.
Also thyroid cancer has a 98% survival rate according to Wikipedia. So that would amount to 20000 * 0.25 * 0.02 ≈ 100 death caused by the accident in the most impacted area. Which is a catastrophe, but also not an apocalypse

But I was talking about Germany anyway where the most alarmist messages were delivered about the danger on the German population.

>This distinction between informational asymmetry and security through obscurity seems artificial. Doesn't security through obscurity rely on informational asymmetry by definition?

It depends on your definition:

- (1) "security through obscurity" is an unbiased term with no negative connotations which simply describes a situation without judgement. Parsing that phrase in this purely logical way means "information asymmetry" is a distinction without a difference. This neutral meaning is what your comment is highlighting.

... or ...

- (2) "security through obscurity" is a negative cultural meme and the recipients of that phrase are people who are incompetent in understanding security concepts. E.g. they don't realize that it's a flaw to hide the password key in a config file in a undocumented folder and hope the hackers don't find it. It's this STO-the-negative-meme that the blog post is trying to distance itself from by emphasizing a alternative phrase "informational asymmetry". Keeping the exact moderation rules a "secret" is IA-we-know-what-we're-doing -- instead of -- STO-we're-idiots.

If they agree to stay the fuck out of Japan and focus solely on Taiwan, NATO will stay put to avoid WW3. Plus, South Korea, Japan, have treaties with the US, which will lead the US to intervene if either of these countries gets attacked. China might not want to officially give NATO a reason to start WW3.
The exact reason is that US only allows for limited number of green cards(GC) in a year and each country has a limited quota (no more than 7% can go to any country, IIRC). India and China have a huge backlog of people that with the current number of GCs and the backlog, you are looking at multi-decade wait. There are some nuances here as there are three tiers in the employment based immigrant visa - EB1, 2 and 3. EB1 typically happens pretty fast, but you have to meet the criteria. 2 and 3 are backlogged to hell.

On a more personal note, I feel this is part of the west trying maintain cultural and racial superiority.. but that is just my opinion.
> You think you want transparency

It would be nice to know why the meme I posted got flagged because it didn't meet Facebook's vague 'Community Standards'. These platforms are enormous black boxes where their decision is final and there is no way to appeal, short of literally going into their building and asking to talk to the manager, which is outside of many people's scope, and not worth the effort. They would rather let content get censored than go out of their way to appeal.
Would love any feedback you have :)

> What I have noticed even in top engineering companies is an interesting dichotomy. Product determines the "innovation", engineering determines how to build it. I wonder if thats because, if you let engineers do both, you end up with a mess and accomplish nothing.

The top companies have product and engineering working closely together. This allows product people to go deep on optimizing their product skills and engineers to go deep on optimizing their development skills, both of which are most effective when performed in conjunction with each other as part of a strong team.

There are great product-minded engineers and great engineering-minded product managers out there, but it's much easier to find people who are simply good at their domain and know how to work closely with people in other domains to get things done.

Some companies try to cargo-cult this by drawing a dividing line: Product defines the "what" and engineers define the "how". Product works in isolation, hands things off to engineers, then engineers churn through tickets in isolation. This is not good at all.
To most peopls, "probability" is a loosely defined term employed in everyday conversation to indicate the measure of one's belief in the occurrence of a future event.
We accept this as a meaningful and practical interpretation of the term but seek a clearer understanding of the context in which it is used, how it is measured, and how probability assists in making inferences.
The concept of probability is necessary when dealing with physical, biological, or social mechanisms that generate observations that cannot be predicted with certainty.
For example, the blood pressure of a human at a given point in time cannot be predicted with certaincy, and we never know the exact load that a bridge will endure before collapsing inte a river.
Such random events cannot be prediced with certainty, but the relative frequency with which they occur in a long series of trials is often remarkably stable. Events possessing this property are called random or stochastic events.

Your point is understood. I submitted to HN because the viewpoints of engineers/founders/builders (aka "my people) was desired.
The design aesthetics of early Gnome, KDE was influenced a lot by classic Macintosh, BeOS and the likes. And classic UI was genuinely great. It never came in the way - agreed that you had to live with the defaults most times - but the defaults were mostly good.

The race to customizability & the notion that GUI correspondence could win some Win9x fence sitters over, really did it big time for future Gnome & KDE.

I wish code didn't have any copywrite at all. It should just belong to our species for the benefit of our species. If your entire business model depends on having some private code that you lord over, versus, you know, having some expertise in the field you are in and the ability to generate more code to solve ongoing problems, it seems like you are structured on shaky ground to begin with.

For example, there are plenty of academics these days who are at the tops of their fields and open source all their code. They end up considered as experts not because of a black box code base they implement on problems, but because they can think of potential solutions to the problems at all, and one of the tools used is writing up some code. The code is a shovel or a hammer, its not the one wielding it. They have competitors too of course, just that the secret sauce isn't the code but what goes on in your actual brain.

Its too bad most business leaders fail to understand this, and think its a blackbox code base that makes a decent business. Its the ability to solve problems that matters.
The fact remains that if US policies were implemented in China, it would mean the tacit acceptance of killing 4-5 million people.

I'm pretty sure this was what Obama attempted (basically universal coverage for life threatening scenarios) and it was pretty much killed on the vine.

There are many individuals who are pretty healthy and for whom high deductible plans are sufficient, but that does not apply to those with chronic health issues (and ironically, those with chronic health issues often have trouble maintaining employment, which is honestly pretty funny in a macabre way of maximizing suffering). I think the issue is that the clarity of what is minor and what is life and death is unknown until diagnosis has occurred. Additionally we still have a situation where if you have a pain in your arm and are uncovered you're in a pretty rough spot. I guess faking a car accident to get your care on someone's car insurance is a solution... but I'm not really sure that scales to an entire nation
