The issue is, if Musk wants to find a core team of hardcore devs, I don't think the way he's acting is going to attract them. People who are great and know they are great probably don't want to be treated this way, unless they've drunk the Kool-Aid. It'd be more productive for Musk to be humble and actually have a plan to "win" in order attract top talent, top talent also wouldn't want to stay for a dickbag who seems to be very clueless. If Musk had a grand plan, keeping it secret is very very counterproductive. It gives off the air "I know I've been seemingly acting like a fucking idiot, but trust me, I have a plan, do you want to join?", how many would think "let's trust him now", if they haven't drunk said Kool-Aid.

About 14 years ago - before I'd taken as much as an intro to CS class - I wrote some software that helped a bar keep track of who'd drank what. They were the type of bar where, if you drank every beer they had available, you'd get a free mug. Prior to it being computerized, the staff used index cards in shoeboxes. Lots of the wait staff's time was lost fumbling through those boxes, unsticking them from each other (gross!), etc.

I've since gotten a degree and written software for a handful of companies.

When I think of how many people are actually _using_ my software, though? Fourteen years later, the mug club software is still live in a production environment, used every day by wait staff who turns over every few months. No doubt hundreds - potentially thousands (it got deployed at a few different bars) - of people have interacted directly with it. That code embarrasses me nowadays, but as far as impact goes: that's probably it.
Bitcoin is by design not tied to the "State" if you will or in another words it makes the central bank obsolete but it still must operate withing the state and within the legal framework of finance and state criminal laws.

After all this years you guys are still getting it wrong; using Bitcoin is not about running away from your real world identity where you would freely be able to buy illicit goods and services. It is about decentralizing trust; giving the people the control of their money and it is about micropayments.

In today world of central banks, commercial banks and credit card companies like Visa and Mastercard, you depend on them to process your transactions but in the Bitcoin type system, P2P network nodes process your transactions.

Banal example is when Visa and Mastercard mangle and eventually ban Porn related transactions. In the Bitcoin world, mining nodes collect the fees and don't care what you pay for. State decides what is legal and what is illegal not credit card companies who act upon their gut feeling of what transactions are "bad" and which ones are "good".

Threads about the finances of Mozilla are always full of criticism and begrudging. Yeah, they take money from Google, and that keeps them alive. Yeah, they would love to not be so reliant on them. This is old news. But while they are alive, and while Firefox continues development, Google have slightly less of a grip on the internet. That is undeniably a good thing.
Mozilla getting paid by Google is a better scenario than Firefox being abandoned and Google controlling the browser engine space entirely.
Right now I'm quite humbled by the number of people who are using Notado[1] to liberate their Twitter Liked Tweets before the collapse that everyone is worrying about.

There are also thousands of people using a tiling window manager for Windows which I originally built for myself and decided to share publicly for free.[2] I still can't believe how popular it has become.

Yes, certainly people in medicine are aware.

> we let a 90 yr old with dementia/diatebetes/etc. pass with dignity.

Often it's a 4 week old baby.

For every 1 sophisticated family member, there are 19 unsophisticated ones, who toss a weighted coin and, if it's heads, they decide they want their dying, non-responsive relative - possibly their baby, possibly their mom, etc. - to be kept alive at all costs. I don't know if this is politically toxic as much as it is cultural, and possibly globally cultural.
There was an interesting article that showed "state of the art delivery rooms" from the 1950s - and they were ALL oriented around the doctor and nurse's convenience.

Now we've moved back toward "birthing centers" which focus on the mother and the baby; perhaps it is time for something similar to grow across all aspects of care.
Not even just language, but culture subculture too. This is a very difficult problem.

Same here. But also I got confused because I remember it being spelled with an "e" near the end.
What is better? Hydrogen and Hydroelectric might be cheaper in the short term, nuke plants are very expensive. Most countries can't get nuke plants either even if they can afford them, you can't sell it to them like you can with hydrogen.

Haha. In Austin I hear radio ads from a chain dealer (Henna) where they promise to pay you $500 more than whatever Carmax appraised your car at.
The solution to difficulty booking doctors isn't to pontificate on how to allocate their time, the solution to difficulty booking doctors is to make more doctors.

There's lots of levers that could be pulled in the US. Cut down on undergraduate requirements, incentivize large health systems to fund more training (people like to complain that the federal government only funds a fixed number of residency slots, as if a trillion dollar industry is just absolutely helpless to do anything).

Medical care suffers under the bizarre idea that central planning and capacity management will control costs. Meanwhile, costs are spiraling up and up and up. Train more doctors and all the stupid games being played to optimize their utilization start to go away, because it is less worth it when demand is less than supply.
The problem is that I've read "If you give a mouse a cookie" to my daughter so many times that I would naturally assume that giving a twinkie to a monkey would result in a bedtime-story length chain of humorous events.
I won't speak for the parent comment, and this isn't a critique on you, but I think it's more of a reflection on the reader than an ironic take.

Many would read "I should be worth more than..." as "I should have more money than...", but that's exactly what the parent comment is railing against. In the corporate world, and especially in the startup space, money is often the metric that defines worth. In the parent comment's world, I imagine they would rather that not be the case, and by <some other metric> they would be worth more than these startups/"money is god programmers" that are "only" worth money.

It could've been put a bit more nicely by not implying the reader is a 'money is god programmer,' but otherwise it's a valid opinion, I think.
I see 12 devices from Google on the LineageOS 19 announcement page.

Motorola/Lenovo has the next largest share, with 10.

The problem is that these things follow predictable chains of association and the core idea of HN requires not being predictable in that way. When the post was made a few months ago, it had that quality; but now it doesn't.

I don't mean to disparage either the submission or the product. The submission was a fine one and I'm sure the product is too. The problem is that frontpsge space is the scarcest resource on HN* and we don't want the stories occupying those slots to be too correlated with each other or with the hottest topics.

If there hadn't already been a big thread about it recently, I'd have let it through, even though "Twitter alternative" has been generating tons of HN submissions lately and counts as one of those correlations I just mentioned. But the combination of correlation and it being a recent repost is, I think, too much repetition. Admittedly these are judgment calls and others would decide them differently.

> Tesla used to be a status symbol. Driving one meant you were forward thinking, that you were on the bleeding edge, and probably conscientious about the environment.

I hate to break it to you, but generally only other Tesla owners feel that way. Otherwise, I doubt the public does. In fact, I personally feel the opposite, that's it's a symbol of a "techbro".
> I don't think its politically toxic

Ever hear of the Obamacare death panels? The ones where doctors would decide if your loved one was too old and shouldn’t get treatment?

Yeah. That’s this.

What it really was that Medicare would pay for consultation with doctors (?) to discuss end of life care and setup living wills and DNRs and such if the person wanted.

That way if something happened and they were taken to the hospital they could be treated the way they wanted to be and not stuck in a coma on a vent for the rest of their life if that was against their wishes.

But the Republicans branded then “death panels” (which for political purposes was brilliant). So the choice of having help making those decisions was removed.
What do you mean by “worth more”?
That number is huge being that this is voluntary. Elon really did fuck around and found out.
what leads you to believe this? does this imply that tesla, spacex, starlink don't have pr teams?
They don't burn money like that.

If your conspiracy theory has motive truth, it's more likely Saudis want what china has in TikTok or others: the ability to monitor it.

I went to the hospital for debilitating shoulder pain.

First job out of college, I was at a consulting firm doing software development for DHS (Homeland Security). I got a lot of flack from my friends and family for "working for the devil", but the work was actually objectively good for society - basically there was a big data problem where when an immigrant trying to illegally cross into the US was apprehended, and if they were sick, their custody would be transferred from US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to Health and Human Services (HHS) so they could receive medical attention. There was zero data transparency between these two orgs, so when that transfer happened it usually caused families to be separated (Sick dad, healthy mom and child, sick dad gets brought in for care and never finds his family again). Since HHS and CBP don't have data communication and everything is siloed, the handoff was really poor and they often wouldn't find each other for months afterwards.

There was a lot of talk about this in the news, and although the software I was working on didn't entirely fix the problem, it allowed the agencies to communicate better. Their data wasn't siloed, and families got separated for only a few days rather than (sometimes) permanently.

I really miss that job. The pay was atrocious and zero WLB, but everyone agreed it was an important problem to solve, and I think the tool we had built really was helping.
If the reports are to be believed, then very core teams have been fired from Twitter, core services shut down temporarily (due to ignorance).

If true, that isn't a meritocracy, to me it sounds Kafkaesque.
Reading your comment I thought this was going to be a darkweb site for cheap pharma stuff from Canada/Mexico to the U.S., did not expect straight up drugs.
Footprint of spent nuclear fuel is laughably small when compared to other industrial processes and it can be reduced even further by using fast-neutron "burner" reactors. Why do you complain about nuclear and not about "immortal" heavy metals, which have several orders of magnitude bigger impact on ecology and human health?
To me it seems like unless you have a million followers your stuff gets buried so what's the point.
I built the first version of a Facebook gaming app that, just before I handed it off, was wasting about 475 person-years worth of people's time every day.
Interesting! So, you’d still back up your full cloud storage elsewhere (Backblaze has been mentioned by other users), even though your cloud storage provider does backups themselves (e.g. Hetzner claims to do several backups every day)?
I disagree, spending on these things is growing at 2x GDP growth so yes more of the pie is going to this. What I'm suggesting is that at some point the pie isn't big enough for this. No matter what happens eventually standard of care will roll back/fewer people will be covered etc. Ideally we can innovate out of this situation but after spending 8 years working in healthcare I've gotten cynical about it.
What's terrible about it?

I'm a younger (34) person with substantial healthcare needs (I have MS). Everything is always oriented towards the old, and I also pay taxes that are used to support them while getting nothing in return despite having similar needs.
Trump and Elon have learned how to be controversial, which drives engagement. They literally are the result of the algorithms that have driven engagement.
I prefer to make the implementation package-private and hide it behind an interface if there's no way to make the implementation's zero value useful. Doing so prevents someone from trying to use it without calling the (mandatory) constructor.

Maybe with higher taxes and a reallocation of defense spending we’d be able to sustain a more humane society for longer.

Is it indefinitely sustainable? Not sure. I don’t know if it’s as easy as just extrapolating from recent trends because there may be countless unknowns from biomedical advances to climate destabilized societies to being turned into biological batteries for our machine overlords in the next few centuries.

I might have add "upon itself".

There is much to say about what is reality, and you can bring researcher like Hoffmann stating that we see of reality only what is good for our peak survival (don't need infrared, don't see infrared).

Hyperreality is something else altogether. First, it's a common theme in postmodernist to state we live in a construct culturally accepted and ever evolving. Hyperreality states that we accept for reality layers that are objectively not, and make it "more real than real". The flavors of energy drinks (with weird names and chemically cultivated), porn for sex, Disney land as archetypal America, tv reality (which is everything but reality). Transposing the sign-value for the thing by itself. Words does not mean the thing that they use to mean but are reinterpreted upon this biased view of reality.

The map is not the territory, the word are not the reality behind them.

Media are more problematic because they are the message (see McLuhan), they are a space we live in (the water the fish flow in), not "reality" sense by our direct organ.

But yeah it's tricky, there is a philosophical conundrum, I get your point.
If that's the case, then you should be able to easily manage the scale of this event in your life.

"Around a year later, the adult worm migrates to an exit site – usually a lower limb – and induces an intensely painful blister on the skin. The blister eventually bursts to form an intensely painful open wound, from which the worm slowly crawls over several weeks. The wound remains painful throughout the worm's emergence, disabling the infected person for the three to ten weeks it takes the worm to emerge."

Who says there was terrible suffering? Modern slaughterhouses minimize this possibility (Grandin's legacy), and 'bespoke' slaughtering effectively eliminates it in my direct experience. One day it's munching away on some sweet feed and then BANG cow/pig/etc. heaven.

The same is true with ethical hunting — I'd far rather take a well-constructed bullet to the boiler room and quickly fade out than have predators ripping me up while I'm still alive.

The point of fully exploiting the carcass is recognizing that a life was taken, regardless of suffering, and choosing to make as much use of it as possible. Nothing I've written is intended to minimize suffering or other inhumane treatment.
This is an oft-repeated piece of received wisdom that is empirically untrue.

Nobody is claiming Rust is a silver bullet, least of all Rust itself which is quite explicit about this.

What it does, however, is assure that an unsafe-free program will not contain any of a certain class of bugs, including invalid memory accesses or data races.

At the same time, it is an objective fact that a huge proportion of serious exploits and vulnerabilities are caused by exactly this kinds of bugs, no matter how much people like you go "just write correct code bro". Formal verification is the way forward and Rust is an excellent first step.

As a bonus, even if you wrapped your whole program in `unsafe`, Rust is a miles better systems programming language than C, in terms of features (imho of course).

Disagree. We don't have laws banning hate speech. We have laws that allow "hate" to be an aggravating factors in crimes. And we have juries to determine whether the application of hate crime statutes is appropriate for a particular crime.

US laws are wildly imperfect, but the laws are at least applied by people rather than algorithms.
I don't have much personal experience with hospitals, but there's a trend I've noticed across several articles now where the medical system is characterized by an unpredictable and frequent alternation between extreme competence and extreme incompetence.

The author's dad was being seen by a variety of highly trained specialists all working to treat him, but "people need to sleep" seems to be a recent discovery in the ICU world, and if his family hadn't been there to help, every new nurse would have tried to give him the same medication that gave him a bad reaction, over and over, just because there wasn't an established place to write that (obviously important) information down.

I've read that food with better nutrition than regular hospital food may reduce mortality rates by as much as half [0]. That's such a huge effect that it's shocking that hospital food is just expected to be bad. Everyone says nutrition is vital for health, but hospitals don't seem to care.

I think the root problem is cost-cutting. Management cuts costs until the brink of disaster, and tries to hold it there for as long as possible. This is not a system that strives for the best outcome for patients within reasonable limits of the resources available; this is a system that attempts to extract as much value as possible from the patients, and patient death is only prevented as a means to that ends.

[…] the political establishment’s hostility towards the idea of Twitter being purchased and run by new free speech–friendly management.

It wasn’t (just) the „political establishment“ that considered it a bad idea. Even the buyer thought it was a terrible mistake just hours after making the deal. And they were all right!

Only the „free-speech friendly management“ has been most notable for firing a bunch of people for criticizing him or making fun of his advertisers.

Ask HN: When to tell company I'm interviewing with of pending parental leave?
Hi all. I'm currently interviewing for a senior manager role that will be building out a new team. My wife and I are expecting our first child in early 2023.

Both my current company and the new company offer generous parental leave (by American standards) which I plan to take advantage of.

When in the interview process should I inform the new company of the coming parental leave? I don't want to decrease my chances of getting the job, but starting a new role and immediately informing them that I'll be collecting my salary but not working for multiple months seems likely to make a poor first impression.

Thoughts? If you've handled similar situations in the past, how have you handled it? If you were the hiring manager how would you react?

Thanks!
