particularly with any trade related measurements

This is the key thing, i think. There is a convention in some technical disciplines - mechanical engineering, architecture, civil engineering up to a point - that things are measured in millimetres even when they're on the scale of metres. So you get a ceiling that is 2400 mm high, or pilings on a 1500 mm spacing, etc.

I'm not sure why. I suppose it means that the large things are directly comparable with small things that are more naturally measured in millimetres (if your tiles are 300 mm, you need eight courses for your 2400 mm bathroom wall), and you can use single unit on drawings taking in large and small things (the engine block is 900 mm long, the bolts are 12 mm across, on 150 mm spacings).

It probably ties in with preferred numbers somehow:

As I've understood things the more I read, the vast majority of mass deportation and mass executions enacted by the USSR and Nazis were largely inspired by the actions taken in the US vs the large native populations.

How those two entities went about pursuing those goals varied, but both were needlessly and mindlessly brutal, just like the act that inspired them.

It can be amazing how awful the acts you commit look when you see another entity perform them on another.

Hey there, Webflow CTO here. We take performance seriously here so I'm secretly in glee to see users notice this. It's a similar stack we use for Webflow hosting: https://webflow.com/hosting

A few things on this page that make this site fast:

- Responsive Images created for you as your build your site (https://webflow.com/feature/responsive-images)

- HTTP2 wherever possible

- Fastly for initial HTML document for sub 10ms TTFB, depending on your location - their instant purge makes it possible for our users to see their updated sites super quickly

- AWS Cloudfront for static, scripts, and media assets

I assume you meant to write "alphabetic" rather than "phonetic" since many languages that use alphabets use them in a way only loosely tied to sound (which you allude to by talking about reading in chunks of grapheme clusters). Korean is a notable exception but I'd bet most readers don't parse the sound either.

> I just don't see how adding bias to your recruitment is a solution to the problem

The goal isn't to add bias. It's to seek out the source of a bias we think might exist and then remove it.

For example, if we find 5% of top-tier schools' CS grads are women while 20% of mid-tier schools' CS grads are, and find similar quality in both pools (keep in mind, when you interview graduates you get to select for quality), then it makes sense to recruit from both pools. By excluding the latter pool, even if not for discriminatory reasons, we're implicitly biasing our inputs.

It only requires the police to be ambivalent or in the mood to cuff someone. I do know of 2 such cases. One in the sensitive climate following the Boston bombing. Another that was revenge, like a SWATting but with regular police.
This is an interesting idea; it would certainly appeal to Bay Area NIMBYs.

They find themselves in essentially the opposite position as what you describe. They are more organized and actually vote, despite being (presumably) vastly outnumbered by transplants in the Bay Area.

But, this is theoretically the process "working". Power goes to people who show up. So it doesn't really matter what people want if they don't bother to take part in the political process. (Or if they vote fair and square and are just not in the majority)

There are minority protections in our system. But, it's really tough to get them right. For example, rules that were supposed to protect the minority in the Bay Area are now being used to block any housing development or infrastructure projects.

But, I'm honestly interested to hear your thoughts. Why should we weigh living in a place for a long time heavier? Isn't the retirees voting down infrastructure serving the needs of the majority of residents (by keeping taxes low)?

You know that weird "re" spelling on your words, as well as the "ou" in "colour" for example, are borrowed from French. The spelling of those words (and many others) did not include those letters in those orders until someone in England thought that "maybe France wouldn't hate us so much if we adopted some of their spelling."

Source: I asked someone who has a Masters in English and forgot most of what she said, so don't hold my feet to the fire on details.

My point is that non-American English spelling is wrong in many cases, intentionally. So don't go around saying you're correct. You mutilated your own language to appease the French.

Panic's Coda has been around since 2007 and is a well known name. Their latest release date June 2017 and is still very active.

It has over 100 reviews on the Apple store for their mobile version and their desktop version has hundreds of reviews on independent download websites and multiple blog posts by different developers.

Writing "Coda" on Google leads to Panic's software on the first page. So does "Coda Software", "Coda App", "Coda Download" and "Coda Review".

Coda.io has been around since 19th of this month. You can get to it (well, this article on The Verge) by writing "Coda Software" on Google, but it is on page 3.

Surely naming it Coda was a mistake. It leads to confusion and hurts their branding.
This at first made me angry, but on reflection I think you're basically right.

I think it's because modern academia lacks the slack in the system that is necessary to solve these kinds of problems.
> The TPU architecture isn't that weird

Its "weird" in the ways that matter: there's no commodity hardware in existence that replicates what a TPU does. The only place to get TPUs is through Google's cloud services.

CPUs are basically Von Neumann Architecture. GPUs (NVidia and AMD) are basically SIMD / SIMT systems.

Google's TPU is just something dramatically different, optimized yes for Matrix Multiplication, but its not something you can buy and use offline.
Maybe I am old school, but the fact that text is easily version able and comparable means a lot to me. I use to code with two side-by-side windows, comparing the old and the new version of my program.

It would be a hard time doing that via visual programming.
Has anyone received an invite/rejection email for the Winter 2018 batch yet?
Came to post this as well. Inbox is a great product, but it seems to have been forgotten - probably because most of the users still use gmail, since getting "normies" to switch to anything is near impossible without social pressure being some contributor to the switch. Plus, Gmail still has a ton of features that were never ported over, which will also prevent some advanced users who rely on these features consistently, from switching.

Inbox is in a weird place - the features we want in Gmail are in Inbox. The features we want in Inbox are in Gmail. The mails are in the same place. The web clients are separate codebases. I can't imagine all the talented people working at either team are happy with this situation given the way their contributions end up not coming to us users because of this separation. If anyone here is on either team, or has some insight into this, I'd really like to understand what the thinking is behind this stuff. The same sort of goes for Allo, Hangouts, etc. What gives, Google?
About the only way you can gather some semblance of "historical truth" or "historical facts" about either Edison or Tesla would be to read as many biographies and books about both men, both contemporary accounts, auto-biographical accounts, and later historical treatises.

In short - read everything you can about both individuals - their life, their history, their accomplishments, and their rivalry thru the years.

At one time, I was more on the "fanboy" side of things with Tesla; for years, from about 1992 or so (long before the Oatmeal piece, and certainly before "The Prestige" was published), I collected many books and anything else I could get my hands on about Tesla. Prior to that, as a teenager, I had heard about him thru histories of Edison - mainly in connection to the "Tesla Coil" as well.

But I had neglected Edison. At some point, many years later I decided that having only a one-sided view of things wasn't right, and started collecting and reading things on and about Edison.

What I discovered was ultimately, neither man could be claimed to be "all that" and both were products of their times. Both had their greatnesses, and both had their lows. I consider both men to have made many contributions, but they also had plenty of faults. I also consider it one of those "historical tragedies" that the two men became bitter rivals, rather than working together. I believe that Edison could have gone so much further with Tesla's guidance and temperament as an engineer and scientist (Tesla being more of a theoretical scientist before an engineer, and Edison being more an experimentalist engineer before a scientist). I often wonder what would have happened if Edison and Tesla had explored the "Edison Effect" - the world would probably not be the same today, certainly.
Honestly, the answer to all of those questions, for me, is "no" and I plan to move to a small rural town (<15k) very soon.

I'm married and have children - but we homeschool them, so the quality of the local schools is not a limiting factor.

Healthcare is not nearly so different even in very rural areas as you've made it out to be, especially not when you have a tech salary to enable you to travel to a teaching hospital if the need arises. If anything, regular/preventive care is less expensive and higher quality with a rural family doctor.

Uber and Lyft don't even make sense in a rural setting.

My professional network is already spread across the country, so that's not really an issue. I plan to spend more time and money on travel for conferences and such.

The only things we're really giving up are faster Internet access (we'll have 300Mb for ~$100/m, instead of 1Gb included in our rent) and food delivery services (which are too expensive to be using as much as we are, anyhow).

What exactly my tone should be?

I bought a very expensive phone that was unable to launch apps (50% of the time, when it did, it took several seconds) and unable to make calls (the receiving end would be mute and would not hear what I was saying).

The phone was bought on an official apple store and had one day of use. Problems persisted for over a week. Tried all the possible solutions. The only one that worked was downgrading to 10.
I think it does. Personally, I found a stand up desk at home to increase productivity. I like a monitor at the appropriate height and an ergonomic keyboard. Chair is optional. I have a somewhat uncomfortable chair to help me remember to stand. This mimics my at work set up.

Is GPA included? I bombed my first two years at school due to being totally unprepared. I took a semester off and came back to actually do well but the damage was done. I was consistently looked over at nearly every career fair interview. I never put my GPA on my resume and the moment the question would come up, I already knew they weren't going to hire me despite anything else on my resume or what we discussed in the interview. The only time I would actually get offer letters is when no one asked my GPA. I know that internships are competitive and I would only want to be judged on merit but being judged solely on one number was the most frustrating thing during school.

When I started out as a web developer 5 years ago, one of the prime reasons for choosing FF over chrome was Firebug.

As a beginner, it made debugging so much easier. Five years later, I still cant fathom using anything but Firefox, alas, without firebug.
Congrats.

I had also started trying to decode the QR but as I was starting to look into the ECC I noticed someone had moved half of the coins and gave up.

Glad you explained your technique. I initially used a Picross editor to map the screenshot before moving to a full Python script.
Firebug was neither the first for step-by-step JS debugging, nor for poking at the DOM. Those two things were within the purview of Venkman—the original Mozilla JS debugger—and the DOM Inspector—Firebug's predecessor created in 2001 by Joe Hewitt, an ex-Netscape/AOL employee and the original author of Firebug itself. Honza's timeline is off. I've left a note in the blog comments about this.
> Cherry picking your one Anthony per school is likely harder than showing up to Stanford where they picked cherries 4 years ago.

An interesting idea: pulling from state schools isn't a problem because they're short on talent, it's a problem because recruiters and interviewers are bad at identifying talent.

Colleges get a transcript, SATs, and essays to make a decision on, then do four years of further sorting. That's far from perfect, but given the track record of job interviews (stunningly poor), picking the best state candidates may not just be time-consuming but basically impossible.

If you simply can't tell who's good, then outsourcing that decision becomes an obvious choice.

Typically I just wait for timeout, or open a new session (remote tmux session makes this quite painless). Plenty of other things to do, usually, waiting a couple minutes every week or three doesn't bug me enough to google.

To create a context, lets assign some numbers to the variables. No doubt the actual numbers would be classified.

Lets say it takes 8 warheads to reliably disable an ICBM silo and you have 80 silos, so that take 160 war heads for those silos. And lets say it takes 25 warheads to cover all the possible areas a mobile ICBM launcher might be in its various revetments and launch positions. So 185 war heads.

Now you add 15 SAC bases with bombers, each takes say 3 war heads to be sure you get it done, that is another 45 warheads. So now 230 warheads are needed. And you want to be sure and take out norad and the line of early warning radars, so call it 250 war heads total with delivery platforms.

If you limit each side to 125 strategic warheads then in the event of a first strike the adversary has to pick which places they can hit because they don't have enough warheads to take out everything.

So the idea of putting bombers on alert, is to increase the number of places you have to hit in order to eliminate a retaliation capability. That either helps reduce a threat of a preemptive strike (they can't be sure what they can kill) because it increases the number of warheads the adversary needs to insure success. Or it forces them to make more warheads in violation of the treaty which would be caught sooner by the verification tools in place.

Conversely, if your adversary does start increasing their warhead stock pile and you don't reactivate your SAC bases, then you open a window in time where a preemptive strike might be effective and end up with itchy trigger fingers because you think their MIGHT be a preemptive strike coming over the horizon and you don't respond fast enough you never will be able to respond. It is that situation, the so called "launch on warning" scenario with weapons that cannot be recalled, can turn a glitch into a war that destroys the planet.

And no the PRK is not a threat in this way as they don't have the ability to threaten all of the US and materially limit our response.

So the bottom line is that while you certainly could use strategic weapons to destroy SAC bomber bases, the major powers have artificially disabled their ability to do so (without leaving the ability to respond intact) through treaties to insure global stability.
> but it does not economically make sense to do events to potentially hire 1-2 people

Google and Microsoft makes about $200k/year profit per employee, Facebook 4x that. The problem, I suspect, is that you probably don't net anywhere near 1-2 hires per couple of events at these schools.

Interesting point - referral schemes are almost always cheaper than using professional recruiters, but they're particularly well-tailored to picking up candidates who are hard to find by resume alone. They'll miss a lot of clusters who never get that first Googler in the door, but past that point they're a highly efficient fix.
Excellent idea.

I find the choice of a dedicated site as opposed to a vanilla youtube playlist interesting. The site definitely makes the experience of watching these more focused.

I expect there's some tradeoff with regards to discoverability and value that is inherent to large content platforms.

If YouTube provided capabilities for page/playlist styling, options to disable comments, and had a minimum of automated suggestions, would you still have created a separate page?

I've had a different one contact me repeatedly every 6 months like clockwork for the last 5 years. Of the ~10 I've had one that listened to WHY I wasn't immediately interested and factored that into his future communications. The rest of them came off exactly as the parent comment to yours described.

edit: to clarify what happens, every 6 months it's a new recruiter, and they always ping me multiple times until I respond and tell them what I've told all of them, and they usually (with 1 exception so far) keep pinging the same way.
