This occurred over the last 5-7 years but several events this year refocused it anew. My father was very tough. The details are not important. However, I think I finally recognized the places and modalities where that toughness is a benef

There's a lot here to bolster my thesis: - throws out a bunch of talking points (e.g. fluff) - throws out several "I heard/I read/...." - tortured rhetoric (2+2=4) - throws a out a bunch excessive in absolute and re

Great HN post. Thank you for OP for supplying the link. Through my various social engagements, I've spent time in many political discussions. Trump, politics, race, and anti-vaccination are recurring themes. Some observations: * Those

agree - most sstables use memory looking on disk if needed. ssds do not have the bandwidth or low latency RAM has apart from the additional I/O path to get it onto or out of disk. Now, not to say memory+ssd can't rock ... but ssd!

Apple had choice. They just didn't use it or much of it. You write like China has a lock on this ... like it's the perfect lobby. There's only one perfect lobby: and that's the NRA in Doonesbury cartoons.

While the material is I think easier to understand than some of the high flung math and physics the publication talks about in other articles, this is still an above average read.

I seriously disagree with this. I expect a whole hell of a lot more out of American management. Money is not the measurement of all things. Apple could have: - pointed out China is confusing its politics with business - thrown this out to a

Totally agree. Since when would it kill us to manage money better regardless of the node on the organizational chart to which it belongs? Never.

Agreed: there must be consequences. And this human management problem is not specific to science nor cosmology. The total dollars sunk into research is small compared to revenues spent elsewhere. Heck, in the US Government, it is still not

Huh? They peg on Saturday? (OP's ref'd txn has a Sat date on it. They wait to peg only for nice round numbers like $1B exactly? No cents? No decimal? They don't peg end-of-day, or at market-close, month or quarter end? Is the

Ten is a nice round number. Now if it was 11, a nice prime number, well then, that would have been nerdy pretentious. Good job at finding the sweet spot.

Wow! One hell of a good list. And well explained. You bet I book marked it. Heck even the 1-connected comment was worth the read. Because it's true. I'm dealing with that right now. +5 and another reason I love HN. Now, if it you

I find this outlook deplorable and a significant contributing factor to why companies can't do better. Read: https://www.amazon.com/What-Total-Quality-Control-Japanese/d... and do better. You have choice. Use it.

I do not agree with the thrust of this article. Some of the issues raised only arise because of the the sloppy or incorrect identification of root cause by software people, which then falls into a definitional whack-a-mole-game. Not helpful

To get grounded in this issue I highly recommend: https://www.amazon.com/Human-Element-Productivity-Self-Estee... to nail the fundamentals. There's too many HN posts on human dynamics that float above the fundamentals

Consider the following, say in the context of BC: (1) conversion to or from fiat not possible (2) the number of entities accepting BC unchanged. Question: how would your interest in BC change?

That's right. I hope this ushers in a new manufacturing high point for the US.

You got it. It's like compression/information-content: add value aligned with thesis. Eliminate noise.
