> Some things are just complex and inherently outside of the CEOs competency.

That’s the mentality that gets you with a Boeing CEO who doesn’t know that airplanes need redundancies. I think you can expect more from a great founder. In particular, people who have worked with Jeff Bezos have said that he is incredibly smart and broadly competent.

Probably more important is an intrinsic curiosity. Jeff Bezos seems like the kind of guy who really enjoys learning about aerospace manufacturing techniques or rocket engine design or distributed systems or supply chain management. If you’re smart and intrinsically curious, these deep dives aren’t really that much time and effort. If you’re the stereotypical MBA midwit, it’s outside your comfort zone and what you enjoy and it will be an ordeal.

> They have to be able to build a management team of properly incentivized highly skilled professionals.

It helps to remain involved with the details until you can tell who’s trustworthy. Once you have other trustworthy people to help you manage the details, of course you can delegate more and more of the work to them, and enlist them to help you with the deep dives.

> Time in the day is limited, if you are delving into details on X and Y, that means at that same time you are not spending time on Z.

Right. The flip side is that Jeff Bezos delegated a lot of the day to day operational management to the S-team so he had more time for deep dives. In other words, rather than focusing his attention broadly on the top level big picture, he scanned for problems and when he found one and spent his attention narrowly examining them one by one. Which, again, sounds like exactly what a curious person would do! Spending all of your time focusing on the exact same high-level overview over and over again sounds really boring because you never get to learn anything, and it’s the learning that’s the fun part.
>It seems to me that they'd have to be quite reliable and responsive to be able to routinely collect.

Nope, they rely on compliance to collect. So many compliance/regulatory schemes are like "Do you have vendor support on all your software, including OSes?" so you end up paying Microsoft money or paying Red Hat money.

> because those institutions didn't have a lot of women or mothers in them, and the people participating in them had servants and slaves that took care of their progeny

Correct. I'm challenging the notion that we "tolerate[d] some noise from" children in the past. (Though even in matriarchal societies, e.g. the Haudenosaunee / Iroquois, I don't recall reading about children in the Long House where official business was conducted.)

> the modern world hasn't reached everyone yet but we don't exclude mothers from public life any more so maybe the idea of having children in public bodies isn't that "laughable" any more

Perhaps. But if we are to have that discussion, it has to be honest about that being novel.
Hopefully in the relatively near future, heat storage systems (like the sand batteries talked about in [0]) can do long term storage of heat energy from renewables and heating can provided relatively carbon free through the winter. For now though, I'd agree that the burning is not that big a deal.

The ability to search the code base is one reason I insist on correct spelling even in comments when doing code reviews, and also keep adding to my IDE's dictionary so it will catch my spelling errors.
This is because they: expanded upon an existing sample-inefficient technology, commercialized the sample inefficient technology using copyrighted data, fundraised and expanded operations using this legally questionable technology, and are now complaining that they can’t balance their business expenses if they can’t keep using other people’s copyrighted works to feed their extremely sample inefficient data monster.

What they could have done was stayed as an open research org when the tech started to work, and focused on sample efficiency and cultivating copyright free data sets. But they were too impatient to commercialize.

Whoops.

I don’t actually think intellectual property restrictions are good, but I don’t want a world where small creators have their rights stomped on by multi billion dollar corporations. Either we have copyright or we don’t, but unless OpenAI is also going to give up their copyrights this seems deeply unfair.

I love it when interviewees say "I don't know", so long as they follow up with some sort of mental process explaining how they'd find out the answer/solution. So, "You know, I'm not exactly sure how the new payments API handles excessive requests, I've only glanced at the documentation. I can look at the docs more closely and get back to you.", or even "I don't know how the new payments API handles excessive requests, but honestly, if we've reached that point, I might wanna investigate that specific issue first, and try to figure out why we're sending so many requests." - either of those responses are great, IMHO. The response I'm NOT looking for is basically, "I don't know [shoulder shrug]."
The way I did it, I never really asked, but I also didn't go to part time. I just started spending more and more of my time helping people learn how to do the job better, and then building tools to help when it seemed like no amount of training would help them get better with the tools we had.

Over time the boss saw the value and made that my job without me asking. Of course, that requires a decent boss, and it also happened slowly over several years. I'm pretty sure he would have let me go part time if I asked, since he saw me as more productive in 1 hour than most people are in a week. At one point he told me to go to Amsterdam and work from coffee shops for a few months. I didn't do it, but in hindsight, I kind of wish I had.

I have a different boss now and things are drastically different. A boss can make a world of difference.
Thanks for sharing this and interesting as it shows a sad trend at the moment.

I used to have annoying relationships like this in my early 20’s then I realized I had to stop dating narcissists. Women who put themself at the center of the relationship. A lot of chicks passive aggressively encourage codependency. You can’t make them happy though, it’s a trap. The flip side is not caring at all and they love that too but it’s terrible too. The trick is to be honest from the beginning, set boundaries, and from time to time reconfirm the deal. Also never compromise to the point of helplessness. Do not date and especially never marry a women that doesn’t listen.

I genuinely use landfills, especially with plastic waste, as shibboleth to know whether I'm talking to somebody who is an environmentalist or somebody who is an "environmentalist."

Anyone who thinks recycling plastic is some sort of normative good because "waste is bad" clearly hasn't put any thought into what environmental issues need to be focused on right now.

My first interview at a FAANG company was so awesome. The interviewer said “I’m going to keep asking you questions till you can’t answer anymore. That way I learn the limit of your knowledge. If I can’t it’s because your knowledge in that area exceeds mine.”

This framing has helped me ever since. It helped me emotionally to recognize that finding the limits of one’s knowledge is not a bad thing, it helped me get the job, it helped me interview people, it helped me hire people who knew more than me.

This is an odd framing unless you are expecting people to be birthing at a conference. To the OP’s point, there’s no reason someone who birthed a child should shoulder a disproportionate amount of the child rearing.

So is yours an age-based argument rather than a gender one?

Many of us are skeptical of ultra-processed foods like Beyond Burgers. It's unclear what the long-term effects might be. The fact that they advertise "no cholesterol" as some sort of feature indicates that the product is probably some kind of scam (cholesterol is not a nutrient of concern).

Verification is an issue but if places do pay and they can't decrypt the victim is likely to talk about it. Also for this reason, like others have said, the ransomware tools have trial decrypts built in or the ability to generate a program/key that decrypt some of the files so that the victims can see that the attackers have the ability to decrypt some of their files. That requires zero trust and is more difficult than just having a single key that encrypts or decrypts everything.

When it comes to plastics I like to think that it’s basically a product of oil and other oil related products are burnt all the time for energy.

The end goal should include a carbon capture step. They’ve looked into that here in Oslo, Norway, but it ended up much costlier than anticipated and at the moment it looks like it’s going to be very very drawn out.

Carbon capture at the source is usually not that terrible of an idea. Trying to capture carbon from the air around us is very challenging, but if the air is 80% CO2 to begin with it’s going to be much cheaper to capture half of it then trying to capture the same amount from regular air.

I heard that a good way to capture carbon on a bigger scale would be through burning trees and capturing the carbon. Store the carbon in a concentrated form, use the heat to produce electricity and when you chop down trees to burn you also make space for growing new trees. Sounds kinda slow though, and not exactly cheap either.

In any case don't be too hard on yourself. Such relationships are not meant for bringing anxiety. It seems people need to be enough self-confident for a healthy relationship to work well. As sad as it can feel, when someone feels insecure, that's something that's, apparently, usually too difficult for a partner to fix, alone anyway.

Depends on a lot. I used to argue about how to raise kids. She always won and I gave up having any say. I had a few siblings and many younger cousins that I watched very often and had been trained on how to raise kids by older people in my "village." I was confident and had a lot of tools under my belt. She floundered and insisted on going with her gut reaction on everything. Zero siblings, cousins, experience or training.

Twenty years later she is having breakdowns about the kids sitting around the house fucking off and pissing their life away. Not helping with shit unless harassed. Ignoring her every word.

She pleads with me for help, and I just shrug and say: "What are you going to do honey? It is what it is." I tried to prevent this.

Then I go on with my life and prioritize my own enjoyment. All I ever wanted to do was give them serious responsibilies around the home, but she always rebuffed it. Now it's too late.

The title says the repo is a filters repo. Did the repo actually contain filter rules, or was it used to distribute the closed source plugin package?

I would argue filter rules count as source code as much as anything else.
It doesn't matter if the thing reading the filter rules is not open source.

Aside from that, github intentionally hosts all kinds of content that isn't literally code.
gists, pages, wiki, discussions, issues.

People also host books on github where the text is the code and git is the update system and github is the distribution system, all exactly the same as with a c program. It's not abusing the system like using the CI compute to do random other work, it's using the facilities for exactly what they are each intended for. github wants everyone to use and grow to depend on github for things like that.

She sounds contrarian. Some people (of either gender) are naturally like that. They'll argue for the sake of arguing. It's quite draining and can really wear on you after a while. Best to find someone else.

Why do they do this? The reasons aren't exactly singular. For some it's tied to deep-seated insecurity, for others it's a matter of pride/principle. And sometimes it's the only way that they know how to interact with others. This set has a strong overlap with the set of people who offer their opinion without being asked.
That bit about auto-generating BOMs is awesome. Any chance you've thought about supporting the engineer with cost-saving recommendations?

I met a bunch of aerospace engineers a long time ago -- thinking about working on a software product in contract manufacturing or PDM -- and a common theme was the struggle to optimize the design for cost of manufacture.

Seems like something you guys are thinking about if focused on manufacturability.
Yeah great advice. We both really tried. We committed to working through things. We saw a couple’s therapist. We went through some pretty intense ups and downs on both our ends ranging from a death of a very close family member of hers to layoffs at my company and many other things. I just found that, ultimately, it still didn’t feel worth it based on how we would communicate and trigger each other even when we tried. And we would just keep going because we wanted to fight for the relationship, despite it continuing to not make a ton of progress.

I guess that’s the “not depending on books alone” part of your comment. It feels like I’ve gained some really important life experience, but I just haven’t fully processed it or been able to make sense of it. Funny enough, I’m making more sense of it with time and with comments like the ones here.

Thank you for your comment!
I think the number comes from one study about the great pacific garbage patch and cannot be generalised to all ocean trash.
This is great! What I would love is a way to compare myself with someone else though. I'm French and my wife is American, we have a lot of disagreement about colors (neither of us have vision deficiencies, we have ruled that out).

Yes that's it, no minimum company size to participate. The reason to use $/dev as a metric is that it gives us some hope of comparing across companies of different sizes, though we do acknowledge different cohorts on e.g. the Members page.
NYC is a bit of a special case for a lot of things due to it's size/density and location. Most places don't ship their waste that far from it's origin because it's expensive.

Yeah, I kept skipping sections of the video over all the theory of hearing parts and found that the "most popular visualization" discussion/demo starts at 27:40 and just before at 24:22 shows the hue coloring by distance from/to root note on x-axis (and dissonance shown on y-axis but unclear how that's utilized).

One common trap(?) they fell into is allocating hues by frequency, where humans are far more sensitive in distinguishing hues between red and green. So many of the blue/greens look pretty much the same. It may have been intentional because those higher intervals matter less but wasn't clear.
>If the model is a good one, detractors say it can’t be replicated outside of the Basque Country, and there’s some truth to that.

The author doesn't speculate why, but I'd guess it's partly due to Basque ethnic solidarity. Mondragon sounds a lot like the kind of late 1800s / early 1900s syndicalism that later evolved into Italian fascism and German National Socialism.

Of course, another big "collectivist capitalism" success story is China, which is also fiercely nationalist.

I don't see either of those models working in the West on a large scale any time soon.
Guess, I'm retorting, that is not a 'left' point of view. The 'right' also oversimplifies views of economics. I would argue, the 'right' is even more guilty of it, like promoting false economic concepts is their bread and butter, part of their platform.

Though, I can agree, maybe it is, most people all around, only have a simplified view.
I hope you are correct and the field gets better.
Show HN: Ranking^2 – the first ranking of college rankings
Hi HN!

As a result of my frustration with the uselessness of college rankings, I wanted to poke fun at them by creating a satirical, democratic ranking of the college rankings themselves, based on absolutely meaningless criteria (see for yourself: https://ranking-squared.vercel.app/).

As mentioned, the goal is to poke fun at just how useless a ranking that attempts both to be heterogeneous (spanning several factors) and broad in coverage (comparing all kinds of incomparable higher ed institutions) is. Many kids and their parents treat these rankings as the holy grail for where to even apply for college, it's absurd! But more deeply, this is an experiment to witness the human instinct of wanting to rank things, and learning to accept even the least rationale rankings just because they have an associated "nice" ordering.

Create your ranking^2 to order them as you wish, which assigns points to the college rankings and determines what the live ranking on the site is. Check it out and let me know what you think: https://ranking-squared.vercel.app/

Thanks!
