What do you mean it was dead in the water? It was ready to go. Only reason it wasn’t operational was because Germany didn’t certify the project yet— under pressure from the US. Germany and Russia were secretly negotiating and so the US had the pipeline taken care of permanently.

An alternative source for those interested in more on the topic should see Bourne's "Methods of Information Handling", https://archive.org/details/methodsofinforma0000unse/mode/2u... .

"Edge-notched punched cards is a dead medium" should be interpreted similar to "Latin is a dead language" - it's not that no one uses edge-notched cards, but that they are no longer an effective solution.

I used a Silhouette cutter to make my edge-notched cards, with a Python program to generate each card as an SVG. I still needed to push out a lot of little holes. I want to try a laser cutter next time.

For selection, I used the classic solution of using knitting needles, rather than an actual McBee needle like shown here.

Here's a picture of my cards, containing small molecule information: https://twitter.com/nathanbroon/status/750460860150214656

My particular interest is in random superimposed coding methods, as created by Calvin Mooers while a Master's student at MIT.

The end of the video mentions superimposed coding methods, which also includes non-random superimposed coding methods. Those were used in WWII. There was a patent challenge by McBee to Mooers' claim over the difference between "random" as in arbitrary and "random" as in chosen-at-random.

Yeah I realized it while sleeping and when I woke up it was too late to edit. I meant to say the takedown was likely sent to the abuse contact on the whois info for cloudflare's ip address. Could be his own content he's claiming or something he really didn't want public and just exhausted every potential avenue to send takedown requests to. Not going to assume either way, but that's likely how this started.
Too late. I don't need frivolous defamation lawsuits at this point anyway.

As I said, people who think things like this haven't paid attention to Russia at all.

Years ago I read an article about a math teacher in Hungary, I think, a century or so ago who generated dozens of world class mathematicians. Were those students special? Yes. Could the math teacher have done the same in another country with other students? Probably.

Corporate structures, job roles and freedoms, and management, have a pronounced impact on how productive individual employees are. It's not just the employee's traits themselves.

It is true that US culture tends to place responsibility on individuals to manage their lot in life. This should be the case, but I think the US goes overboard.

"You're responsible for your performance as an employee, I'm not responsible for what I did to make your performance as an employee easy or difficult. Except, of course, I am responsible for unleashing the talent of the arbitrarily chosen top 10%."

The issue with NaN equality is interesting, but is that really why they're adding a clear(x) builtin? What if you want to remove a single-NaN key from a map? clear(x) seems like a band-aid at best if the Go team is strictly trying to fix removing NaN keys in maps.

Very cool point. In my ideal world a whole nursing unit or facility would be a self-correcting operation. There are problems that a nurse on the floor can fix but it takes up time. If those problems were prevented to begin with, it would be much easier. I would like a system where the nurse notices a problem and simply sends it up to a manager / supervisor who 1) finds a way to handle the immediate problem and 2) always writes up and enforces a new guideline to prevent it from happening again.

Good managers probably already do this, but healthcare has a very short supply of such people. It would be great if this type of improvement were the standard across the board. Let's say, for example, that you have latex and non-latex foley catheters mixed in the same bin in a supply closet. Your patients with latex allergies have gotten a latex catheter put in more than once and it now becomes a problem. Well, someone notices the issue, sends it up to someone above and now there is a new guideline to place the different catheters at least 3 feet apart, or something to that effect. It almost sounds silly, but people would be surprised how many of these mistakes happen over and over again due to equally silly reasons / lack of basic prevention.
> Why does Musk get so much attention? Why is Twitter so important?

I see it as an established group who mostly benefited from Twitter (think journalists and traditional media who had great reach and influence through the platform) fearing that their power will erode under the new regime.

This is already playing out. Anyone who pays a small fee can be “verified” (a privilege previously reserved for the elect few), opposition/critical voices are returning from banishment, and Twitter is reconsidering which people/tweets/views are amplified or suppressed.

The reason why Musk/Twitter are “so important” is because those who stand to lose want us to believe so.

> I worry that this country is hyper addicted to needless drama, and it’s self imposed and obfuscating bigger challenges we have as a society.

Agreed. There are players and fans. The players (Musk, media) have stakes that matter. The fans (you, me, anyone who roots for one side or the other) may have ideological stakes, but it’s mostly tabloids for nerds.
“The US does things professionally.”

Interesting take— have you seen what the US has done in the Middle East lately?

At the end of the day, if Russia were involved, no one would be holding their tongues about the results of their investigations. The only reason the results are being kept secret is because the European vassal states are afraid of publicly accusing the US. Which, given that the US was at least complicit in an attack on Germany, I can’t really blame them.

Probably just a college level gen chem class. Pretty accessible, albeit technical, textbook from what I remember of reading it for a course a few years ago.
I mean, it's just metal. As long as you make sure it is empty this is perfectly safe. Once a propane tank has reached the end of it's life as a propane tank it is completely reasonable to re-purpose them. You just have to be safe. Welders do this all the time. The scent they put in is actually somewhat flammable too. You take the valve out, leave it inverted, clean clean it out with soapy water, etc. It is a non-trivial process, but propane tanks are good steel.
(chiming in here as a founding engineer at Atomic)

So I spent more than 8 years as a SWE at Google, and now work here with both experimental biologists and machine learning scientists. And yes, a lot of the concerns mentioned in this thread are also things I have had anxiety about.

Most obvious to me, being a software engineer at Google felt like being the center of the universe. Coming here, the focus is the scientific research. And yes, the scientists all managed to complete their PhDs so they don't necessarily need me to unblock them every second of their day. But contrary to my expectations, this has been remarkably freeing. I think one particularly important part of our company that makes this work is that, even on the science side, we're multidisciplinary (at a high level, emphasizing both experimental biology and ML.) And so engineering feeling like another arm of that multi-discipline nature is fairly... natural.

The reason I feel it's freeing, and the reason I enjoy working here, is also the greatest challenge. Because the scientists are focused on the science, because they respect me and trust me to figure it out, and because they aren't constantly blocked by me, my job is mostly about dreaming extremely expansively about what I can do to reduce toil and make the scientists more productive. Of course they have feedback and input, but how I use my time and what I build is ultimately my decision because I am the engineer. And I have been able to do some things I am very proud of, like rolling out Bazel and Kubernetes and finding ways to seamlessly bring them into the cloud (we're even multi-cloud now without them even noticing!) On the other hand, it's very challenging because when you work on a product, say Google Photos, as a SWE, you always have some direct tether to the product ("what should we build next? ahhhh, well I guess we could just embed stable difficusion and a million people would immediately play with it".) At Atomic, my tether is very ambiguous. If I do my job successfully, they'll be able to do research more quickly (? effectively?), and eventually we'll be able to produce a therapeutic that hopefully changes the world. Identifying what I can do today to speed up that far outcome in the future is very challenging, but it is a far more interesting challenge than gluing some pre-existing software into my UI or running A/B tests to turn a red button blue.

If, like me, you enjoy being given ownership over incredibly ambiguous problems, please do reach out!

I've seen this before and find it hard to believe because if Musk is proven to have truly faked his degree...I expect every big news outlet to be having a field day with the story, but this Twitter post appears to be only source of allegation at this point.
Seems to me like GP is using the word "assert" intentionally to make it seem like Scalia supports giving cops the power to make up charges then act accordingly.

No, Scalia didn't support police flying a helicopter up to your window and pretending they see marijuana then raiding your house. And yeah GP is going to argue that "assert" doesn't mean claiming something that isn't true. But the intention is obvious to the point that it's really difficult to see good faith here.

> I try to only comment when an article is really in my wheelhouse

Which is why your comment is exceptionally worthwhile. I also know enough about fluid mechanics to both understand and appreciate it.

People often wonder on HN what the point of a STEM degree is (after making money). To me I've had a lifetime of pleasure from understanding how things work. It's so much better than things being mysterious black boxes.

I once asked a date if she wanted to understand how airplanes worked. She said no, that understanding them would make her afraid of flying. For me, it was the opposite. Knowing how the airplanes fly and how it all works made me a much less anxious passenger.
This seems a bit disingenuous, similar situations are already in place, with Hungary/Orbán having basically an agreement with Russia, also India having no issues ignoring sanctions, yet we don't see annexations. Not to even mention Iran.. So it's not an analogy of what is happening in Eastern Europe. The soviet union was bad for those 'states' Europe was better, they wanted to join. Simple as that. Ukraine also wanted to join.. And Putin felt entitled to say no.

In a sense you're defending oppression and lack of independence.

We see a mature grown up approach from Europe, diplomatic, although slow.. Means that a lot less people die in the decision. If they decide to leave the EU, go ahead. If they decide to join, it's decided my all members based on criteria.

Nowhere along the line does someone say : "Well, we're claiming Ukraine as our because it's close to your border."
Can you? I've been going to a monthly language meetup for a year now. It's the only one in real life I've been able to find in SF. Basically no one comes twice, and the ones I reach out to after the monthly meeting are lukewarm about hanging out.
It is still not that great in the USA. In the Pacific Northwest, if I want to goto Spokane, I have to hope the the Electrify America charging stations in Ellensburg aren't down again.

If I want to go down to John Day national monument in eastern Oregon, things are even worse. Things will get better (oh, and we want to do a trip to Anchorage someday...).
It's fair to be mad.

There are hundreds of puffs pieces praising him in the MSM all the way till the day of the collapse, most of them VERY recently.

They are trying to shift blame and cover their butts.

The pivot now seems to be blaming CZ(the lazy China angle) for everything despite the obvious cause being the low effort diligence done by SV VCs and MSM themselves for recommending so many people into his trap.

Worst was how little oversight there was, Bankman Fried purposely deleted records and didn't hire anyone internally for simple tasks like accounting.

No surprise why, he was writing himself personal loans of billions while trying to bribe his way out of trouble both overseas and in the US.

Exactly. It’s funny how the US war machine fanboys ascribe such perfection it, especially after its glaring failures all over the Middle East.
Effective altruism is just nonsense. Giving money "away" is so vague that it's obviously tax discounts. Away to whom? Will give money blindly really help solving problems or keeps them alive? A lot of questions pop up.

Cloudflare doesn't even really protect against DDOS. Sometimes taking your website off Cloudflare is the only way to stop a DDOS attack. That's because you can't stop something like a level 4 ddos attack by blocking the IPs in raw prerouting iptables, because if you did that then you'd be blocking Cloudflare's IPs. The only option Cloudflare really provides you is pressing a panic button that forces everyone who visits your site to view a captcha, when it's really so trivial to just run the iptables commands using a token bucket algorithm. I know because I run a website on a 2 vCPU VM that gets DDOS'd all the time. I've had to block over nine thousand malicious malicious IPs so far. I tried using Cloudflare in the past for their protection services, but it made me (1) defenseless against bad visitors and (2) made good visitors angry at me for the captchas.

Wow, because the Brits are not exactly known for their haute cuisine.
I don't think his management style is brutal.

I think it is quite surprising how little people work at a job.

In most companies, you can get rid of 50% of the company and things will still keep running and even improve.

He just wants people to do a good job. Is that too much to ask?

Add in the general leftist messaging which are popular in tech companies about mental health and taking time off, it is quite easy for those who want to take advantage of it to not work really hard and hide and keep getting a fat paycheque for a really long time.

The amount of money tech workers get paid is ridiculous. Compared to a librarian let's say. Do you think a tech worker is working as hard as a librarian? Hell no.

So I think its time to make sure that the work matches up to the hundreds of thousands of dollars they are taking home every year.

Aside: I really hate how news has become opinion pieces. "Brutal management style" is an opinion. The news should report the news. "X happened at Y". I have seen a lot of this lately. "X happened. This should make you angry." Don't tell me how to feel or second derivatives of events. Just present the event.

I find it very frustrating that authors so often want to engage with this on this status-motivated "cheap is bad and you shouldn't like it" level. It takes this author a long time to get to "if you like it, that's fine", after we've been told that it smells like gasoline, that supposed "experts" in our own personal taste have told us that it doesn't belong in our kitchen, and that it's made of spooky petroleum products.

Yes, food should be accurately labeled, and I'll take the author's word for it that the imitation stuff is not very close to the real thing in flavor. Sure. Those are fine points. Stick to those, and stop implying that if I like the stuff I like, I'm some sort of slop-eating prole. You can argue for truth in advertising without appealing to classism.
No, they're just asking Google to stop installing apps that include the configuration for where to report COVID cases and where to get COVID cases that you were close to from. Users can uninstall the app, and the tracking happens outside the app.
I know a couple authors who get paid in this fashion. They all lament how it's immensely stressful, how they can never take a vacation, and how there's always a constant fear that their revenue source will be taken out by not being able to write during stressful life events.

I agree that information should be free, but for it to be justly done, work needs to become optional for everyone.
> Britain being filled with Brits, what would happen is that once the show was over, half the nation got up from the couch to turn on the kettle for a cup of tea. Those electric kettles are quite demanding, especially if millions of them turn on at the same time.

Particularly British kettles, which pull 13 amps at 240v = over 3000 watts. A lot more than (standard) American outlets can deliver.

For a while there was a theory going around that this is why Americans typically do not have electric kettles, because they would boil much slower in the USA, but the real answer is that Americans just don't drink much tea.
