They said they had no record. Considering this incident supposedly happened in November, there would be a strong possibility the content would have been permanently deleted after a given period due to GDPR concerns, in which case of course

The author is making a fantastically insightful point that more people need to understand, but the whole thing is ruined by the strange choice to use a massively loaded and judgmental term like "morally incompetent". I know it&#x2

Neither of those things apply to Google.

My sense is that the article would agree strongly with you here but didn't want to get into that long digression.

That's a curious reading of the post. I think he would say that the ongoing fallout is caused by structural changes in communication networks, and that the players who happen to be at the top of the pile economically are incidental to

Probably important to note, and maybe the reason this was reposted, that this is the guy who was revealed yesterday as authoring the "Anonymous" op-ed. https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/28/politics/an

There might be some interesting observations in here, but this really feels like a grab-bag of complaints, many tangentially-related at best. The author doesn't really do any work to synthesize them to support his central claim.

GP was talking specifically about the approach in the article, which requires massively high pressures to sustain, not superconduction in general. I don't think the required pressures are really practical for any of the things you list

The notion that computational reducibility is the key principle underpinning difficulty in life (and probably social) sciences is extremely insightful, and had me optimistic for the second half. But the author's suggestion to address t

I mean I agree with your statement in a vacuum but the line you quoted seems pretty straightforward to me.

It's over WebEx I believe. So a bit less ironic.

Spend ~4/7 of your life in mediocre hotels far from home, work itself consists of sitting in a cramped box with even less to do than than the passengers on the flight, money can be good but not career-goals good... I can see it.

There's this strange phenomenon on HN sometimes -- or at least I've noticed it here several times -- where people will somehow manage to condemn the article while arguing for exactly the thesis of the article . That's what y

Sure, but a large portion of the Apple store crowds has always been people just hanging around and goofing off on the laptops. IIRC it's policy in those places to always let people do that however long they want, even if there's c

I don't get this site sometimes. This is a pretty quiet launch of a pretty minor GSuite feature, the wild extrapolating in this thread is ridiculous.

I know this is a drop in the bucket, but FWIW in Brooklyn I've been seeing easily 3-4x the normal bike traffic, and bike shops consistently have long lines outside all day, every day. I've personally bought an e-bike to commute wi

Well that's just reinforcing their point. Do you have any idea how much Google spends on creating some semblance of "search quality benchmarking" that actually means something? I'd venture it's way, way more than yo

Yeah, that's true, although we all know they're just in there so the acronym works.

It's a potentially pretty big deal for understanding extraterrestrial chemical processes and estimating the likelihood of life, but to be clear this isn't anything like actual evidence of alien life. It's a bit of a stretch t

I live in NY but travel often to SF. It's definitely an issue in NY but nowhere near SF's league. Walking around the area the article focuses on feels like walking around a movie set. Everything's just hollowed out.

The structure of post-grad programs is fundamentally different between the two. In the UK you generally have a Master's already before beginning a PhD, while in the US you typically enter a doctoral program directly from undergrad and

This is only accurate for funded PhDs, which in the humanities (the implicit focus of the Chronicle) are a small minority.
