I've seen/implemented this at three different companies and it always went well -- and there were many folks who didn't think it would.

I like the "selling" idea, and even though it already feels a little too over-engineered the way the MS guy is pitching it, I might add one more wrinkle: nobody stays on the same feature team more than X months. Becoming an expert in a particular area is sorely needed in many tech organizations, but after 1, 2, or 3 years, it's probably time to move on to something else.
Hmm.

>Sarcasm can be seen as 'inauthentic' and diminish the immediately perceived value of a piece.

I'd rewrite this as such:

I'd strike 'simply'. It's unnecessarily condescending.

No. You can identify a connection as "Tor" in several different ways. That's not the point of Tor. The point of Tor is that everyone using it looks the same as everyone else using it. You want the Tor user agent to be, essentially, "I'm Spartacus".
contrib is not for unsupported packages. It is for free software that depends on non-free software.
I'd look at past projects. Some ideas:

- How long did it last?
- How successful was it?
- How hard was it really (novelty, competition, complexity, regulations, number of people involved, lines of code if applicable)?
- What were their mistakes? Which were the most painful?
- How did they correct their trajectory?
- What will they change this time?

But you have to calibrate your expectations with the current project, otherwise you'll pretty much filter any first timer.

Linear monopole antennas are very easy to reason about.

Imagine (or actually draw) a sine wave graph, and then fit your antenna along the X axis of the graph. Now look at "signal" amplitude at the antenna's extremities. You'll notice that 1/4 wavelength antenna will give you the strongest signal, while 1/2 and full wavelength will apparently give no signal at all. The only reason that full-wavelength piece of wire picks up anything at all are build imperfections - wire length not perfectly matched to wavelength, not perfectly straight, not perfectly aligned with signal source, signal reflections hitting it from different angle, etc. Thats why olympus refers to performance of full-wavelength piece of wire as "random piece of wire"-kind of performance.

On the other hand, linear dipole would be 1/2-wavelength (or 2 times 1/4-wavelength), as it is just two 1/4-monopoles put together.

Ask HN: How to welcome Technological Unemployment?
As a society, being able to produce the same goods with less work is good news. The point where we can produce food for a whole country with 1% of the work required N years ago means that everyone can be fed. Same applies with all other basic resources and most of the advanced ones.

However, for the individual this means that 'middle' and 'low' skilled jobs are getting scarce as more and more things get automated. Only highly skilled and technical jobs (most people here probably) with many years of study and dedication are on the rise. Also, a single person working 8-ish hours a day can produce a lot more than 4 people working 2 hours a day so you cannot just make everyone work 10 hours a week. So my question is:

How can we grow as a society while making everyone able to take advantage of it?

Some notes and why this question is tricky:

- No one wants to do work they hate just so other people can take advantage of it. This discards the notion of open source, since most of it is pleasant or is done to scratch your itch.
- Preferably short-middle term, country-independent answers. This discards concepts like Resource Based Economy (highly automated cities) as they are long term.
- Basic income is a nice concept and basically I'm looking for answers in this fashion, but preferably not basic income on itself (since it's also been widely talked about). However I think it gets its good reputation from being seen as a "donation" to the poorer. I am asking more about a fair system within the current society.

Interesting - some important points overlooked:

- They assume that for everyone doing a PhD there is an equivalently attractive job waiting for them. However, many young people going doing PhDs (especially in the countries highlighted, Portugal, Greece, Slovakia) aren't choosing between a steady job and the uncertainty of PhD - there are often either no jobs available or very unattractive ones (e.g. working well below your skill level, poor working conditions, etc). A PhD offers an interesting hybrid of employment and training while offering more intellectual freedom and stimulation than your average desk job (note to Americans - most PhDs in Europe come with some form salary/scholarship/stipend).

- They seem to assume that everyone going into academia from the PhD level up is aiming to remain there. Many people do PhDs and then go to industries - certain industries (e.g. biosciences) pretty much require a PhD if you want to get anywhere interesting.

Both these significantly weaken the drug gang analogy, since it rests on the premise that there is a big pool of people joining at the bottom of the pyramid with the principal aim of clawing their way to the top. The motivations for doing a PhD however are far more diverse, from being simply a more interesting (or simply available) option that regular work (flexible hours, intellectual freedom, and a prestigious title at the end of it) to being a requirement to work in a particular industry. Certainly in my experience, only a minority of people starting PhDs do so with the explicit goal of attaining tenured professorship.

This is a reason to not verify over SMS and to instead use the Google Authenticator app. It seems easier to socially engineer a SMS redirect than to obtain the mobile device and bypass its login authentication.

Personal safety is the #1 priority of any emergency worker. If you don't keep yourself safe, then that's one less person to be able to help out. Add to this that there isn't an endless stream of people both willing and able to do the job in the first place, and also that training takes a fair while, and it's clear that self-preservation is a requirement for emergency workers.

By all means, question police methods. But to snidely chide them for putting their personal safety first suggests that you don't really understand their job at all.
>Outside of post-doctorate positions, there's neither funding nor desire for the kind of research that you need to further an academic career.

But why not? If academic work is for the benefit of mankind, there should be a desire in society for that kind of research[0].

This desire is only muted because of commercial interests having increased influence (directly and indirectly) over academia.

[0]Perhaps there is a mismatch in what we mean by 'kind of research' here. But this is a political point as well - the kind of research that has long-term benefits to society should be exactly the kind of research that furthers academic careers.
If the stats were significantly better, I'd take the completely robotic "doctor" any day. Why would I want someone to be able to override what is statistically the most accurate decision? It's not like they'd be negligent if they followed the computer's decision, and if they didn't, being able to sue them doesn't make up for the fact that I could have been better treated.

The article mentions we'd prefer to have a doctor "just to talk and know we’re being heard by a human being," and I agree that could be useful, but I wouldn't need a trained doctor, more like a conscientious customer support rep.

Dear Big Company: Why You Need to Hire Me
> Until ARM64 becomes mainstream, unlikely

Correct my, if I am wrong, but I though the current generations of the iPhone/iPad run on ARM64... It does not get much more mainstream than that.
In late July 2010, Peter Eckersley, Chief Computer Scientist of the Electronic Frontier Foundation presented a lecture at the Privacy Enhancing Technologies Symposium held in Berlin, Germany. The lecture, entitled "How Unique Is Your Web Browser?" related to an EFF research project dubbed Panopticlick[1].

For the layperson, Panopticlick runs a simple test on your web browser to see how "unique" your web browser is compared to the EFF's current dataset. As of the writing of this post, my browser fingerprint (aka whorl) appears to be unique among the 5,644,302 tested so far.

At first glance, this may seem fairly straightforward. Panopticlick is relying on cookies, right? Wrong. Panopticlick is relying on IP addresses, right? Wrong. Panopticlick can be tricked by spoofing cookies and/or IP addresses, right? Again, wrong.

So, what does this project and its implications have to do with me and, moreover, why you, Big Company, should hire me? The answer is not that I participated in this project in any way back in 2010, but I that I understand it at a very deep level and have been developing a related project[2]. Don't let the name of my project or the README fool you. If you don't understand what you are looking at, ask a software engineer. If they don't understand what they are looking at, ask me. I am more than willing to offer insight and receive feedback.

Thank you for taking the time to read this brief post. I may add more details if this discussion piques anyone's interest. In the meantime, have a pleasant evening.

Cheers,

Micah

The question is, why should this be part of the language or standard library? This can easily be achieved by a library.

The Kotlin type system does help though/is essential to correctly implement Option types where other languages like C# can not.

The essential part is you can/should define an Option type with a non-null upper bound. Otherwise you would have a Some() that still might contain a null value. So the side affect of solving NPEs you speak of is only there if a language actually supports non-null upper bounds.
So now every organisational structure that has more people at the bottom than at the top resembles a drug gang?

>> Jobs where interacting with a human is the whole point.

There's a computer game that teaches people cognitive behavioral therapy , a job a psychotherapist used to do.Some prefer tablets instead of waiters.Teachers might be replaced with machines. It's really hard to tell whether interacting with a person is the whole point for a given job, especially for jobs that machines do things humans cannot.

And another category of job killers people forget about is things that do the job in a totally different way, not just automate. For example a dental vaccine might make dentists unnecessary , and remove any questions of responsibility and humanness.

And with regards to emotion - it's hard to tell, but a weird data point is Hatsune Miku, the animated japanese popstar/phenomena.

Whether or not a thing falls under the domain of "morality" is a function of many arguments--it depends on the thing itself, as well as who, where, and when you are.

Do you really think that historically, people who hated their outgroup had the thought "outgroup is bad because they have slightly different folkways and speak another language" in their heads? It always gets cast as an issue of morality. Always. You identify the outgroup by their folkways and language (we're no different there), but it always get rationalized as some irreconcilable difference in something that's extremely important ("morality").

As some one who managed to succeed in the academic rat race (tenured professor) and who quit to do more productive things, my feeling is academia is more like cult. When inside it you believe you are doing important things, and on occasion you actual do (i.e. teaching and research), but the important activities are basically a hobby you fit around your full-time job of administration and politics. Once outside you realise you were wasting your life on trivia of the most meaningless kind. While I miss some parts I have to say I am glad to be out.

Imnsho, at most companies the process only serves as 1) an atta boy for the high performers, to justify raises & promotions, and 2) CYA documentation to manage out the lowest performers. These extremes cover about 10% of any org, max, and the rest are all completely unserved by the process.
Hm, I had a very different experience. The extensive example library makes the Phaser documentation excellent, in my opinion. The API docs are average, by no means terrible.

I appreciate your point, but this kind of attitude often (intended or not) leaves humanities PhDs out in the cold. Sure, for a PhD in computer science you might convince the public that your work is worthwhile (there may be some practical application). My PhD is in the field of music theory...a field which has practically zero real-world applications. It's still important as an academic field, but the long-term benefit to society of a music theory dissertation is simply that we understand a particular aspect of music better.
