You'd think that Amazon would do that (and apparently they do not) just so their employees would be more familiar with the products and able to offer better suggestions on improvements.

As someone who deals with hardware down to the single component level supply chain issues are definitely still a thing. So you will find random products that see themselves without that one IC needed to manufacture it. I myself had to re-design a whole PCB because a (during normal times standard) part was not available even in the timiest quantity anywhere.

And because of the efficiency fetishism we have managed ourselves into the chip shortage still ripples back and forth (people stockpiling parts themselves will lead to local shortages etc).

So there certainly is an element of "you cannot get the thing you want to get, even if you have money"
Maybe, but they are not taking that chance. Cancel culture is a real thing even if we think it only happens to people or companies that deserve it.

Seems like Godot already does what Blender Apps does much better:

- Godot is great at importing Blender models/scenes.

- Blender is GPL, Godot is MIT.

- Godot produces much lighter .exe files. Blender Apps are at least 200MB.

- Godot has web export, too.

Godot still has stability issues that can affect larger projects (presently over 7000 open issues on Github[1]) but for smaller demos and art things Godot usually is pretty solid.

That's a very thin line between moderation and censorship. When in doubt about which is which, think if if obeys freedom of speech or not.

Deleting a comment because it is insulting a person is moderation. Deleting a comment because you don't like it, it doesn't conform to your views or you find it outrageous, silly, inflammatory, false, fake is censorship.
It seems like this could be a legitimate business too. Running a breakers yard can be a good business if you part things out and sell what is valuable. Second hand parts that have no faults are often quite valuable, even for older vehicles.

In my country scrapped vehicles are issued a certificate that you can use to reclaim taxes. Maybe manufacturers should start adding unique codes to all parts so you can be sure it comes from a legitimate source.

"Because no system whatsoever creates more work the less it operates"

When you're loading a mill, say, a grinding mill in a mine, you want to put enough rocks to maximize output of the mill against energy use. It's a complex optimization problem as the geometries involved are rather complicated.

Occasionally, a mine operator will have the bright idea to decrease energy use by adding more rocks. As they're not very smart, they 'realized' that as they added more rocks, the energy used to spin the mill actually goes down; the mill seems more efficient, as the mill has filled up and the internal movement of rocks creating turbulence inside of it is diminished. There are cases where mills have been filled up entirely with rocks in this way and then they need to be shut down, dug out and repaired.

In principle, you are right, but I would offer that it is possible to find corner cases like this where it seems like a system is doing less but achieving more. It's about optimizing and finding balance. The appearance of operation may not actually map to desired outcomes.
Ummm, no that’s almost exactly how it works actually.

This would be hard to pull off for society as whole. Companies would need to hire 2x or 3x more employees (and train them).

Schools need to be available, groceries etc.

That being said, it does work if you are a contractor (in most cases). That's exactly what I have been doing for the past 4 years.

I don't have a family, I am working 4 hours every day. I don't take unnecessary weekends. I just work from 8am to noon and call it a day.

Afternoon is spent for sports, reading, social activities or just tinkering.
That’s maybe true but also outside the point of the article. I was actually thinking of another case, the Hunter Biden laptop. All major news publishers decided not to report on it just before the election even though the story was obviously true and newsworthy. This was actually done by publishers, but still the important point here is that a story did not reach audiences even though maybe at least some of them wanted to see it and some people wanted to tell it like journalists in nytimes.

The blockade was so effective that I thought it was a hoax until recently.
Weird. Did noone else notice the obvious? A prepaid/gift-card company rooting via a (sketchy) survey based article for prepaid/gift-cards as the number one gifts.

No, we don't have anything close to a precise global temperature over the entire Holocene (the period you describe, that we are presently in, coinciding with the end of the most recent glacial period). We at best have spotty tree rings, ice core samples (which are inherently limited to arctic regions), and other various rough proxies which have a higher margin of error than we have observed in even the past 100 years.

Good, broadly available, consistently measured temperature data from daily mercury record keeping was mainly only really done in UK and colonial U.S. until the late 1800s. Even then most of the world did not maintain standards for temperature stations until the early to mid 20th century. Global temperature estimates that actually span the whole globe were not really possible until the weather satellite era, around the late 1970s. So there is a big problem when comparing the precision and breadth of modern temperature data with historical estimations for a number of reasons. Not least of which is that we do not really see the sample rates of historical data necessary to estimate the periodic, even as small as decadal, swings to any high degree of accuracy.

Only a minuscule portion of Indian population has that privilege to get that education and immigrate to the states. Do you really belive you got into that tiny tiny population purely by your own hard work.

Your comment portrays you on par with a poor mexican immigrant who just crossed over. You both had $30 in your pockets when your came over but you credit your success to "have worked hard" implying the mexican immigrant didn't "work hard" as yourself.

First: the dictionary defines censorship differently. AstralCodexTen's definition even seems to ignore the fact that e.g. Zuckerberg and Musk are very much "people in power". And it adds "customers" to the definition. In what perverse mindset is a speaker a seller?

Second: is this about freedom of speech? If it is, say so, because moderation nor censorship exclusively define that. Muddying the debate by giving some weird definition of two concepts isn't going to help that.

They’ve shown off tidbits of objective tools and processes they’re going to use for testing. For example, they’re building a robot arm for keyboard testing.

And yeah, I agree about the soft reviewers. Most of them will gush about overpriced lifestyle brands. It’s weird.
Well, what kind of people?
In Germany we have an approach with a somewhat similar effect.

For any site with an commercial intent (which is pretty loosely defined) it is mandatory to have an Imprint with the person representing the company, the address of the HQ as well as the companies registration number and court location. It makes it somewhat more transparent what company is behind the site and gives you information you can lookup in public registries.

I hate it from a privacy perspective but it’s okay for for consumer protection.

Alan Kay's answer to What did people at PARC think of the work Apple was doing?
The operation "paying off debt" doesn't exist. This is because positive interest rates imply demand for debt outstripping savings. For debt to be paid off, the interest rate would have to reflect savings outstripping debt and forcing a reduction of savings as there cannot be monetary savings without debt, it would be just an empty piece of paper otherwise. In such a scenario, you would need a negative interest rate but since that isn't politically feasible. The only path you can take is through inflation and positive interest. This is what Keynes meant by gold digging, if private business and political interests prevent the obvious and rational solutions, then even the dumbest solution will be better than nothing. So, rather than implement a mechanic that allows a nominal reduction in debt, we need a central bank that constantly keeps inflation high enough to not let ourselves drown in debt, which is why the target is 2% and not 0%.
Its not a single value, so its not anything.
> Is it the early rise, or the constant presence of the opposite sex?

Funny because for me it was totally the opposite. When I lived together with my ex wife it was super difficult for me to wake up early, because she didn't, so I was just so tempted to go back and cuddle with her until 8 AM when she actually woke up.

During the pandemic because we were both working from home, we'd always take a nap together after lunch as well.

Now that I am divorced I have no problem getting up at 5:30 AM everyday and avoiding daily naps. And I am also way more productive compared to when I was married.

Your argument being that we should just be happy about it then? Think about what argument you're trying to make here.
There is also a giant fallacy in this advice that you "gain an extra 2 hours". no, you start working 2 hours earlier, but you will be just as beat in the evenings, and still unable to do more than slouch on the couch and watch Netflix. If you don't use that time for working already, than why would you ruin your sleep patterns? especially since 2 hours less sleep is a massive reduction for most people.
The game was rigged from the start.

In the case of "Month", yes.

Give me stronger types for dates or timespans or instants though.

Rollover tends to need handling at the date level to carry the year, so let's be honest, "Month" won't handle rollover properly on it's own either.
Having people disclose if they work for/have a vested interest in what they recommend sets HN apart from other communities.

What is the value of an Indian education? You overlook the stark difference between rich people in a poor country, and poor people in a rich country. My dad came here with an education, sure. But his village school in Bangladesh had no walls! He had to take a boat to school during monsoon season. That’s what qualified as elite back home at the time.

Add in the fact that affirmative action isn’t about poor people. There are vanishingly few kids at Harvard who grew up in the projects in NYC. You’re comparing two groups of people who are comfortably middle class based on their grandfather’s status.

> Call me crazy, but I have a simpler explanation for the spike in inflation we saw in 2021

> The Fed has been funding extremely reckless fiscal policy for two years. We literally shut the economy down and gave people checks for doing nothing. I don't think we need to reach for fancy explanations. The reason for inflation seems plainly obvious to me.

You're not crazy, just willfully narrow-minded. How does your theory explain the inflation seen all around the world, including in countries with vastly different Covid policies? Take Sweden, no lockdowns at all, but the economy still slowed down due to people making different choices. However there were no mass layoffs and no "checks for doing nothing". Still, inflation is at 10%.

The pandemic (distributions to the economies and global supply lines) and a war disrupting critical raw materials (foodstuffs and energy) have contributed to the inflation, a lot. Nobody can say how much exactly, but blaming any single factor is willful narrow-mindedness.
It's a figure of speech. U can do whatever u want
Guess who needs more system engineering training than software engineers?

HR.

Designing the organization is system engineering. You are building a complex machine with human, where flow of human, their rewards, and various "processes" are the knobs. And if I am to wager, HR is also the department people got issues with the most.

Some of you may say HR aren't the only one involved in designing the orgainization and you are right. Many in the management also do.

> Be explicit about what you are building

This. When you are in position to form a team, be conscious about what problem you are to solve. Organization wise, take business unit for example (forget HR, finance, compliance and legal for a moment), are you forming a team to PoC a new product line, to handle part of the customer journey, to build a service or to build a feature. How are the team carving up the boundary with other existing teams. When "refactoring" is needed. Companies at different stages should form team accordingly.

One way for me to judge one's acumen is whether they question the chesterton's fence - why a team exist and what problem they are solving. The same applies for engineers, why a component exist and what problem they are solving. There are a lot of similarities in designing a software component and an organization. One with code, one with people. More often than not, your code is also written by people.
This is a very simplistic and very narrow perspective about gifting when looked from this side.

I don't consider gifts as the items solely. The person who brought the gift spent some time pondering what would I like, gave his/her best shot. Spent time and funds to acquire this and gave it to me.

Yes, it might not be the exact item I'd get; yes, it might not be crazy expensive (or just flat out cheap and simple). But it's a small anchor which makes me remember the person who gave me the gift and the occasion. The thoughtfulness and kindness what makes a gift, a gift.

That gift is priceless for me from now on. It can be a mug, it can be a pin, it can be a watch, or anything.

Putting everything on a material perspective is just not very kind, and is a great disservice to the person who bought the gift.
