I've definitely heard people talk about getting hit by bikes.

I think the distinction, to the extent it exists, might have a lot to do with what constitutes the majority of mass. If you get hit by an 18 pound bike with a 160 pound rider, you really got hit more by the rider than the bike. But if you get hit by a 3000 pound car with a 160 pound driver, you definitely got hit more by the car than the driver.

However, depending on ideological viewpoint, it might be tempting to read more into the language.
You make a good point that one should use the newish \orcidlink facility whenever one first bothers to type out the name of an author.

It doesn't seem quite as critical when the name is only part of the citation, so long as the ORCiD is in author list at the other side of the DOI.

But I think you misunderstand me regarding who should do the work: the original author is in charge of ensuring their ORCiD is included in the author list and that its entry is kept updated.

If you are just citing a work, just give the doi and whatever authorlist you found at the time.

Then I'd say that if you want to refer to a specific author of a work, you need to lookup their ORCiD and use whatever they specify as their preferred name. Also include the ORCiD itself so that the next researcher to come along knows where to find the up to date name.
I could imagine a safe the size of a gun safe completely containing a nano-fiche machine and all of the information on Wikipedia today. This isn’t a hard problem.

The hard problem is meting through the information. Fast, contextual search is probably the most important development we have today and you can’t really replace it with anything but tons of compute and digitization. Big ass physical libraries don’t solve this either.
There is nothing wrong per-se with being a midwit; most people are midwits and I never said they have “no prospects”.

What I take issue with is the kind of idiocracy you get when experts are identified according to “an uninformed person’s idea of an expert” rather than actual expertise. Bureaucracies’ ideas of expertise are usually “objective” like a degree or certification. The thing about degrees and certifications is that they are not nearly as difficult to get or indicative of knowledge/intelligence as an average person thinks they are. Especially with regard to more practical degrees like business and engineering, they simply cannot really teach you the same kinds of things you learn from actually working in the field.

This is a cool idea.

It reminds me of an idea I had on a road trip once – a Google Maps-like driving directions app that would occasionally announce interesting facts about the places you're driving through. Things like pieces of natural or cultural history, or geology, etc. Would help to get to know the places one is passing through.

I think someone made something similar, so I kinda gave up on it.

I don’t know. But I do know that the food supply chain is not something you mess around with lightly because if you screw it up literally tens of millions of people could die in a famine.

So, before anyone decides we need to implement some “small change” the burden is on them to prove that it won’t kill everyone. The burden is not on me to prove that the thing that’s currently feeding us all is the only conceivable way to do it.

If you think you have a more humane technique that will produce meat just as efficiently, by all means, open a farm and use it. If it really is better and more profitable I’m sure the industry will be happy to adopt it.
I personally am wary over passkey. An Android update to my S21 earlier this year dropped support for hardware keys. Now whenever I try to sign into a site that expects my hardware key the Google passkey dialog pops up and I have no way to use my hardware key to sign in. I wouldn't mind passkeys if Android continues to support the hardware keys alongside passkey but to replace the former with the latter is a step too far for me. I do wonder what the motivation behind passkey is if they're willing to drop support for hardware keys without any notification and push passkey instead.

It's a relatively old analysis (2009), but McKinsey did some research that I think highlights some pretty important differences in the US healthcare system that actually points to where the money is going.

https://www.mckinsey.com/~/media/mckinsey/dotcom/client_serv...

If you look at Exhibit 2, page 4, they basically compare US spending, as a percentage of GDP, and breaks down the difference between price and volume. The result are some very interesting facts that run counter to common belief:

- health administration and insurance is a tiny contribution to high costs, accounting for about 5% of excess spending

- spending on pharmaceuticals and "non-durable" (supplies) is pretty small and only contributes to 5% of excess spending

- in-patient care (where the patient stays in the hospital overnight) spending is only 10% higher than the OECD average relative to GDP

- 68% of the higher spending is out-patient care (where the patient doesn't stay in the hospital overnight); price is a factor here, but in reality, Americans get way more out-patient procedures than other countries
that sounds really interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
You must know absolutely nothing about the NHS if you consider it a success.
I work for a hospital and we just phased out our pagers this past year for some staff. Honestly, I am glad they are gone. I hated carrying the extra device. But I see the advantage for physicians. Pagers absolutely work everywhere.
> Where do I dispute that?

I probably read too much into your earlier comment, but it seemed like your discussion of state laws meant national ones would be harder to pass.

To the rest of your comment.

Federal laws have been historically a lot easier to pass, the gridlock of DC is (semi) recent history that started around the 90s.

Regan kicked the Republicans down a path of deregulation and privatization of the gov. Bush Srs loss from "no new taxes" started the "never compromise" attitude of Republicans. Newt Gingrich codified that under Clinton. And with Obama we saw basically the end of any sort of major across the isle legislation.

I don't know why you are saying this is a narrow view. From roughly Eisenhower to Regan, major federal laws were fairly common. national highways, NLRB, social security, Medicare, EPA, CCC, OSHA, various federal law enforcement, etc. These all have pretty high impacts on day to day life.

> It's really disgusting what they're doing here. They don't talk about whether you love the other person, or whether you complement each other...

That’s how poor people think. Marriage is one of the most important economic decisions you’ll make for yourself and your children. And if you look at what the country’s economic elites actually do, they very much take economics into account, even if indirectly. A huge fraction of my friends from law school got married to other people from school. Part of that is that they’re around their classmates. But the social structure around then also gently nudges them into those decisions. My Asian parents didn’t hide the fact that my wife’s credentials played a major role in winning their approval, but I suspect the same dynamic manifested in a more subtle form among my classmates with American parents.
You still need some maximalism to signpost an Overton window wide enough for a fair compromise to emerge. Otherwise all you're doing is hopeless damage limitation, with the window sliding further and further towards the opposite maximalist position until it's the law of the land.

Response to memefrog's [dead] comment:

> It's not deliberate, which is the question that matters.

I don't agree that deliberate or not deliberate is all that matters or the end of the discussion. In criminal law if you do something that could reasonably be expected to kill somebody without really desiring that outcome, you might still be guilty or murder or at least manslaughter. For instance if you drive your motorcycle at 200 MPH and crash into a family killing them, the fact that you lacked a specific desire to kill those people counts for something but it's not the end of the discussion.

> "[targeting the civilian workforce] isn't a thing."

You've obviously read my comment as commentary on the Israel/Palestine situation. Actually the incident I had in mind when I was writing that comment was the firebombing of Tokyo. If you go through official US documents about that, you'll find the justification that Tokyo had extensive cottage/light industry mixed in with their residential neighborhoods. Destroying that industry and workforce was in fact one of the official intents for firebombing Tokyo. However many of the bomber crews (who were all men, but I'm generally not one for gender-inclusive terminology anyway so you're not catching me in some hypocrisy here, lmao) were likely motivated by revenge for Pearl Harbor / etc and celebrated the civilian death toll. Not all of them I'm sure, but certainly some of them.

Anyway, I'm not here to pass judgement on whether the firebombing of Tokyo was or wasn't a war-crime, or whether or not the US was deliberately trying to kill Japanese kids. It has been debated for decades and that's precisely my point. It's not cut and dry, it's a matter that looks differently to different people who are looking back at it from different perspectives. It defies neat objective categorization, which is why counting 'civilian casualties' in one big lump, not differentiating by intent, is a useful thing to do.

Yes, and I think I'm lowballing it. Notables include the mercantile bourgeoisie, the administration, the mercenaries, the guard, the local bourgeoisie (guild leaders, lawyers), and the 'small bourgeoisie' in the sense people who owned either specific, important equipment, or important skills outside cities, so not in a guild (horse breeders, miller etc). Nobility is like .5% to 2% depending on your country, the rest, depending on when and where you're talking about post-renaissance can easely get to 10%, maybe even 15% in the lowlands. People think the industrial revolution started with coal an trains, but check Europeans canals and waterworks, as well as how precise steel parts were made. The major productivity increases are from before the US revolution.

In fact, I'm certain that one of the French revolution trigger was notables who saw those productivity increase improve their life, then being taken away to found wars or whatever.

This has basically nothing to say about epistemology besides “be open minded.” I wouldn’t recommend reading it.

Yes, theories can’t be proven wrong or right, but philosophers have said a lot about truth that can point us in the right direction. The author seems frustrated about the lack of knowledge about long Covid.

This is a bizarre comment and suggests you've never been to a CVS or Walgreens in the US. Prescription drugs are a small part of their overall sales. Most of the pharmacies in the US are more akin to small department stores - they sell not only healthcare items but hell, food, small appliances, etc.

In both Australia and France, you need a prescription. This assertion makes me question the accuracy of the rest of your comment.

Computers, peripherals, microscopes, and any other devices needed to access some incredibly durable archival format will also degrade. The information needed to produce new ones will need to be archived, and that material will degrade and need archiving.

Do you know how much information is necessary to describe all of the details relevant to producing an extremely good microscope from scratch? It's not just the parts and materials, it's the entirety of the supply chain: the mining, refining, electronics, power production, and everything else. All of that information needs to be accessibly preserved.

So it begs the question, is it really easier to make the prerequisite for the information's use be a working precision instrument or is it easier to just actively maintain lots of copies of less durable materials like books?

If the sky falls tomorrow, how many years is some archive really useful for in any format? Most of a sturdy, well-designed library of books will probably survive for a decade. A good percentage will probably survive a century. On the other hand, a high precision microscope probably won't "just work" after a decade or two of sitting around disused in unideal conditions. A working power supply would probably last even less time.

We must accept that there's some ongoing upkeep of an archive regardless of how durable its contents are. And while a book isn't as durable as some quartz or other fancy material, you can pretty easily make books to replace old ones even in pretty miserable conditions (we did it for centuries, albeit at great cost). There's a remarkably high cost to making sure there's a working microscope around, and keeping the information and resources necessary to make new ones and repair existing ones available.
Oh, absolutely. I more meant from the "CEO of Microsoft" perspective; I guess I could ask Ballmer the same thing if he did an AMA.
Devils advocate: it sounds like you’re seeking for too much affirmation from your boss and instead, they want you to be a leader of your division.

Which means, you should be informing your boss (CEO) what the product vision is and executing on it. Not seeking their approval to do so.

Unsolicited advice: you probably don’t want to be calling out your CEO when people know who you are (HN profile).

I don't think formal management training, e.g. an MBA, helps much. I think it's even harmful, as this type of training tends to be very generic and focused on high level matters.

In my career, these kind of "professional managers" have tended to be blunt instruments who don't respect or understand important information coming from their technical staff, and have caused a lot of damage as a result.

I genuinely think it's more than enough for a new engineering manager just to read a few books on how to do it well, and read articles like this one. So long as they take it seriously, meaning prioritising the management over any coding work they have, they'll do fine.

But surprising, most don't even do that. They get promoted, and then they just wing it. I've seen it happen repeatedly that they make no effort to study around their new role, and to hone their skill in it. It's quite strange.
Single threaded tasks should never run at the base clock. The base clock can pretty much be thought of as the minimum clock speed you should see when all cores are maxed out and the thermal solution is only just meeting the spec.
