Simply knowing that every 'mysterious' death will be thoroughly and exhaustively investigated is a massive deterrent to just wiping out your enemies as happens so commonly in many places that have no form of homicide / cold case department.
Human challenge studies are used to test the efficacy of therapeutics and vaccines, not to test the pathogen itself. I was specifically referring to the abandonment of Koch's Postulates in virology, which again has nothing to do with challenge studies where the virus is not isolated from the host.

The idea that you can perform poorly if you are paid less is not really true. It's always best to earn the maximum. Expectations are set on you regardless of your compensation. Often your direct team lead / line manager who is doing your performance ranking isn't even completely in the loop on your total compensation.

Performing poorly is what will trigger the PIP like process, compensation only comes up later. Further, it's rare for an org to truly let a manager slice up their compensation budget however the like (hey you can hire 2 juniors or 1 senior, your call).. so it often doesn't cost your direct line manager extra headcount just because you are on expensive end. Usually headcount is decided, and then the compensation required to fill that headcount is a secondary concern, as crazy as that seems.

Further, it's a rare interview process that doesn't shake out that you are at a lower seniority level than you are representing. Interviews may fail to shake out exact level of technical proficiency but I think most interviews do place you on the junior->senior spectrum fairly well.

Only once in my 20 year career have I almost gotten a job that in retrospect was way ahead of where I was at the time. 15 years later I ended up finally taking a similar job. But they didn't hire me!
Conscientious consumers of electricity are fundamentally protected because people have to pay for electricity. If you use a lot you have to spend a lot, if you use a little you don't.

What gives someone the right to tell someone else what they must use the electricity they've bought for? The only right I can think of would be an indirect one - i.e. if their use of the electricity directly broke a law (e.g. they electrocuted someone)
At the end of the day the Apple Vision Pro is an iPad with an infinite screen and window management. If you can work on an iPad you can work better in the AVP.

That’s not the case for me and it’s not the case for many people here at least. The AVP is an amazing content consumption device but not at the current price point IMHO.

I’ve written daily about my experience with the AVP [0] and I’ve come to the conclusion that I don’t think it’s for me right now. I have zero doubt I will buy a future iteration of this device but this version doesn’t cut it for me.

I went in eyes wide open, no pun intended, to the AVP. I knew from the start that it was a v1, early version, and essentially a dev kit++. I said in comments here on HN that returning it was always on the table for me. I’m going to give it a few more days but as things stand now, be retuning mine.

Apple has created something magical and they knocked it out of the park but it needs improvements to become something I want to wear all the time. Improvements that I believe that Apple will make, that’s Apple’s super power, commitment. They don’t always follow through (the Mac for many years or things like the HomePod) but when they do they create amazing things. Heck, the iPad is something I build on top of (as does my company) because I/we know Apple is committed to it in a way that you can’t say for any other tablet maker.

I can’t wait for fitter iterations of this device and for it to have its retina/iPhone 4 moment.

> Really? That's an interesting world view.

Indeed, it is a world view, and not a nationalist one.

> On the contrary ...

You say that as the one with the weapons and thus, the loudest dogma.

Really, think about this again but instead - indeed, contrarily - try looking at it from the perspective of those nations which must always and dutifully bend a knee to the nuclear-armed thugs in their neighborhood. This would of course require you to apply something more powerful than any technology, and which is a far more effective substance than fission when it comes to producing peace: empathy.

Technological inequality is the basis of all oppression. Oppressors only get away with it because they have the technology to do so, and their victims don't.

There is much motivation to believe that the world would be a lot more fair and equitable place to live in without this technological oppression consistently and unfailingly being used to blackmail the worlds poor into submission. Especially in societies where empathy for ones fellow human beings has been sapped by relentless dogma.

Just because you can build nukes, doesn't mean your self-acclaimed "great society" [0] should consistently be allowed to lead the world into calamity and chaos, over and over again.

Which is precisely what the nuclear thugs are doing with their power. They don't make the world more peaceful - indeed, they make it more dangerous.

If bayonets were all we had to fight each other with, we wouldn't be so keen to do so. Nuclear weapons are the ultimate expression of utter irresponsibility for ones fellow human beings, and under the threat of their use, much atrocity has been committed.

Peoples who consider themselves truly equal, share technology for the good and do not weaponize it against themselves.

It is only the "moralistic" imperative to demonstrate ones higher power against 'the lesser, unclean others' that motivates the user to turn technology into a weapon ... so yes, de-nuclearization would, by definition, mean a lot more peace in the world.

Maybe not for those with the privileged nuclear buttons to push, initially, but not long after, certainly for those who have no choice but to live as though foreign uncontrollable powers may destroy the world within 45 minutes, any day of the year ..

[0] - This will always be met with resistance, because there is no true one great human society. They all suck.

Unfortunely did not come with an OS, wasn't freely available, and quite costly.

Remeber that until AT&T was allowed to take commercial advantage of UNIX, its source code was available for a symbolic price, and it came with a C compiler toolchain, at least until Sun started the trend among UNIX vendors of spliting UNIX development tools into an additional purchase.

The UNIX vendors that had Ada compilers, that was an additional purchase on top of UNIX SDK (which already had C and C++), so unless there was a hard requirement to use Ada, no one bothered to pay extra.

The paper from this article says that only 450kg of charged material from meteorites enters the relevant part of the atmosphere each year. Yet the total amount of meteorites entering is somewhere in the range of 10^7 to 10^9kg per year [0]. I know the really small stuff slows down too quickly to burn up completely, but does anyone know why such a small fraction of the meteorites burns up in this region compared to satellites? Or is that 450kg number just wrong?

What's Godwin's law for discussing European legislation with American Capitalists?

"As an online discussion about the EU grows longer, the probability of a false-equivalence with Communism being made approaches 1."

Simply put, it works exactly the way its intended - with a legislative lag due to fierce lobbying. The song and dance made about EU Foreign Subsidy legislation in Q4 of last year is testament to exactly that

Or we can look at the €8 Billion in anti-trust Rulings against Google - like in 2017, where it was found guilty of abusing market dominance and was fined €2.4 billion.

Or how about in 2018 where they fined them €4.8 billion over Android and mandated the following which were implemented in October 2018?

* Charging a licensing fee for the store, without requiring installation of Google apps, but making it free to pre-install the Google apps if they want.

* Allowing Google's hardware partners to market devices in the EU that run rival versions of Android or other operating systems.

* European users of Android phones are given an option of which browser and search engine they want on their phone at time of setup
The Texas point hurts your argument and you'd be better off leaving it out.

As you pointed out the reliable energy failed, but it was all due to bad regulation and lack of enforcement. IE if Texas had never put up a single windmill they'd still have

Texas, last time I lived there, windmills and all, didn't have high energy prices. Many Texas energy experts do claim windmills do help prices more than hurt them (not an expert myself but living in Houston and working with energy companies this came up a lot).
So to describe the process. We would first brainstorm that watch hours is something we want to potentially be our OKR?

And then we brainstorm all the constraints and potential pitfalls and finally we think what the reasonable amount of watch hours is based on those constraints?

E.g. we first run by the constraints that these watch hours must still keep the same base level of ad revenue per watch hour, demographics proportions must stay similar, etc?

I do feel however despite that there will be quite many different ways to game this number that you couldn't think of before hand. And there's also a spectrum of "level of gaming". There's a spectrum of non obvious gaming to very obvious. So whoever is striving towards that goal will still be incentivised to find the level of gaming that is not obvious enough for everyone, but might still be fundamentally not good.

So then you have to spend a lot of your time to make sure this OKR couldn't be gamed, but you still probably won't be able to stop it from being gamed even if you spend very, very much time on preventing it.

From a practical point of view, the police in the UK are far too starved of resources to investigate mysteries where there is no realistic prospect of prosecuting anyone for a crime. To do this would require dropping higher priority investigations.

I also think that it would be overreach for the police to do this kind of thing. The UK is not a police state (in theory at least). The police have no business investigating anyone who they don’t suspect of having committed a crime. In this case, of course, there were reasonable grounds for suspicion and so there was an initial investigation. However, once it became clear that there was no realistic prospect of proving that anyone in the apartment was legally responsible for the young man’s death, there was nothing for the police to do.

It's easy to get sucked in by the fascinating story told in the article and forget that legally speaking almost everything turns on the last few minutes before the man jumped – about which we know almost nothing. If he didn't jump in response to an imminent threat to his life, then good luck making any kind of criminal case.

>To avoid a scenario where 'clever people' wander around the country leaving a trail of bodies in their wake because they keep covering their tracks effectively.

It had a clearly superior capacitive screen with glass when competitors were still doing shitty resistive screens with plastic... or worse small screens and buttons.

It looked great and worked ok.

The rest could be ignored due to that.

It wasn't benefit of the doubt, it was a clearly superior product that competitors took years to catch up to some extent.
People don't understand how wide the range of compensation in this space is.
I'll get pings from recruiters for jobs with compensation ranges from 1-3x. They are looking at the same LinkedIn page with my years of experience, career history and skills.

Often the companies that want to pay 1x are looking for quite a lot of experience & seniority, despite wanting to pay 1/3 the top of range I can achieve.

I've had job negotiations that they wanted me to manage 20 people, in-office, for less compensation than I was collecting as a remote IC.. and with more of it locked up in deferred stock with the slowest vesting schedule I had ever seen.

But hashing some data is not causing harm to anyone.

The real issue here is that you think doing the hashing is a waste of energy/money. Well you have no right to tell me how efficiently I should use my own property.
It's quite obvious how solar messes with utility profits. If you generate 1kw of energy, the utility company loses profits on 1kw. And if you feed back to the grid it's even worse, that means you've completely removed them from the equation (temporarily) and instead have excess for them to buy from you.

There is no way power companies and solar rooftop can coexist with one of those seeking to gain additional profits every quarter.

So while I may be incorrect I do believe that power companies should be own by the state/what ever. As it is impossible to have coexistence between a future of renewable energies and microgrids and a company seeking profitability quarter after quarter.

If we don't they'll do exactly what they are doing, increase rates everytime possible, increase level of certification required (new UL codes every year, new weird requirements for wall mounted batteries, building code requirements, etc etc). They'll get new laws passed making it nearly impossible to add solar panels to your house. Taking years to get permits, etc. What ever they need to do.

Have to add a different perspective here (the management one), just to try to give a potential explanation. I did pretty much the same thing to my team, though with a lot more background as to why. We were severely rocked by a Google search ranking update, and basically lost 70% of traffic overnight. We had no idea why, none of our metrics over the past years changed, but it all went to shit. In the days after, we set out a plan to try to recover this ranking, even though we had no idea what we need to do. Page speed was one of those metrics we set out to improve, and even though it wasn't bad, but it wasn't exceptional. As with other SEO stuff, there was no guarantee this will help, but we needed to try, along with a few other things. After we fixed it (along with a few other things), there was very small growth initially, and it took another 9 months for our SEO to fully recover, but we did fully recover. Was it Page speed? Who knows, but 30 million website visits were earned back one way or another.

I can easily see from an employee's perspective, they could react like you, "why the hell am I doing page speed shit, we're already fine, this is bullshit". Especially because the entire field of SEO sounds like total random guesswork to a lot of engineers. But I expect the team to have the common sense not to completely fuck up the product in the mean time and/or fake results, even if the metric we're measuring and improving is page speed. I don't think that's an OKR issue, that's just not giving a shit issue that no management approach can solve (on both sides, since the management spent no time explaining why page speed is important to improve).

That's certainly how I've been reading it.

> As long as solar demand is driven by actual market forces, then it'll follow the usual market dynamic of more entrants with lower costs leading to lower prices

Nope. With actual market forces you end up with Texas-like situations.

The fundamental problem with the electricity market is that as soon as you're not using fossils fuel to produce it, there's a disconnect between what you pay for(energy, in kWh) and what you actually need the supply side to provide (power, in Watt).

When using fossil fuel it's all good because the costs for the producer come from the fuel cost, which is cost for energy. But with whatever else (be it nuclear, solar, hydro, wind…) the producer costs aren't related to energy production but to power installation, hence the market is fundamentally unable to reconcile the two sides.
