This is a nice exercise in self-delusion, but let's play along anyway, shall we? The basic premise is thanks to lower costs more people are going to use automated taxis and thus create jobs for mechanics, dispatchers, fleet response teams, and customer service workers.

Not mentioned is if private vehicle ownership is substantially reduced then a lot of manufacturing jobs are lost - and not just auto manufacturing: there's a HUGE supply chain driving the auto industry including steel, glass, tires, switches, upholstery, etc., etc. Let's not forget about the auto aftermarket for car parts, oil changes, car washes and so forth. Car insurance is another huge business that would see hefty losses. Finally, the net number of automobiles per 1,000 persons would dwindle so the net number of mechanics required would also diminish. Once these taxis switch to electric cars then the number of mechanics would diminish even further.

On balance I think it's a safe bet to say A LOT more jobs are going to be lost than created. I'm not saying we should maintain private vehicle ownership for the sake of keeping all these jobs, but I do think we need to be honest with ourselves and realize massive job loss is right around the corner. Since our political leaders have no appetite for solving this very real problem the only chance we have for staving off economic disaster is if we're lucky enough to get these job losses to coincide with the retirement of aging Boomers. With regards to that I'm reminded that hope is not a strategy.

The logic behind it is that if you’ve done a sloppy job with the presentation of your arguments, it becomes likelier that you’ve also cut corners during the research phase. It’s not about the quality of the prose, but about the lack of effort for something so easily fixable (a software spellchecker will catch the most egregious mistakes).

I’m not aware of any hard data on the matter, but as you say, it seems like most people are concerned by this and yet the author did nothing about it, further cementing the careless attitude.

To be perfectly clear, my comment is a generalisation to answer your point, not a critique of this particular author or their work (I haven’t read it).

I think it was an observation of their mental process at work, in which we tend to remember things we read as facts even if we do not know they are true (or even if we know they are not true at the time of reading). In other words: the change of opinion was not necessarily rational, why is why they said "It's amazing how well this works despite being obvious propaganda."

There exists other reasons to not allow third-party benchmarking, other than trying to hide something. A common reason is as a way to make sure the benchmark is done in a proper way.

I've had the experience myself, and I can imagine that when a system is complex and hard to measure that you don't want an internet journalist running Cinebench to become the reference benchmark for your customers.
Completely agreed about trying to ensure there are as few systemic issues as possible. But on the issue of 'isolated incidents', you have to be realistic. Amazon's size alone would put it as the 31st largest city in the US. And they, like ever more companies, have massive turnover at all levels.

Expectation of no isolated incidents is equivalent to expectation of never hiring bad apples -- and that's just impossible. It's impossible even at much smaller companies. The only difference is when Amazon screws up, it makes front page international news, and when e.g. you or I screw up, the response is much more isolated.
It would still help the poorest. Figuring out how to define income for the upper end could be done separately.

The largest country in the world is Russia, and the richest is Iceland. Do you mean the US ?

If so, what makes you think the US got successful because of diversity instead of other factors ?

Similarly, there are studies showing that skill diversity is important, but not bio diversity. For example this meta-study[1] :

bio-demographic diversity had no relationship with team performance"

Fatuous remark by that professor. Drinking doesn't get you to work etc. Its entirely dispensable.

I read (here) that 10% of liquor stores' customers are half the volume. So the lesson probably applies mostly to those 10% who think "one drink a day" is a reasonable thing. The other 90% are risking very little, especially if they do their drinking at home.
Just tossing in my two cents: Avoid the Google store at all cost. Their service is absolutely worthless. Getting on the phone is the only way to get anything done.

I bought a pair of headphones from the Google store that ended up having a manufacturing defect, so they sent me a replacement.

It broke again. 2 hours on the phone, and denying me a refund, they sent me another pair.

It broke again. Two more hours on the phone. Deny me a refund. Insist on sending me a replacement. This is where I get upset, so they escalate me to their refund department. Denied a refund, send me a replacement. But, I am assured that if THIS pair breaks, they will refund my purchase.

It broke again. Two more hours on the phone. They tell me I am out of warranty. I throw a conniption. They agree to refund me. They refund me $30 of the $180 I spent on the defective headphones. Two more hours. FINALLY after hours and hours of talking on the phone, I get a refund. 5 months and 4 pairs of headphones later.

The whole process was demeaning and wasteful. I did not love opening up and throwing away boxes upon boxes of packaging. I did not love the fact that they probably received the defective headphones and threw them into the trash. Their refund policy was asinine and TECHNICALLY, they made an exception for me because I made it clear I was going to continue accepting the replacement headphones and sending them back when they inevitably broke again just to waste their time and money. At one point the support person suggested that it is a known issue with the headphones, but not something they were acknowledging yet.

Ironically, the only thing wrong with the headphones was a defective 3.5mm to USB-C cable which would disconnect due to a weak connection at the USB-C end. Initially I told them I just want another cable, but they would only accept a full return.

tldr: the Google Store has a bullshit return and refund policy and you should NEVER buy anything from the google store if you can help it.
I don't remember the exact details, but there are drawbacks to using yield instead of naming the block variable in the method definition, even if you're only assigning yield to a variable.

> There's a big difference between having a beer after a hard day at work and actual alcohol dependency.

I’m not saying they’re the same thing and that having a beer ruins lives. I certainly have a glass of wine from time to time and don’t feel it’s having an impact on anyone around me. But, at least to me, “self-medicating” implies far more consumption than just one drink.
While there's definitely a larger percentage of the public "on drugs" than you find in day to day life (and a lot more people drunk on alcohol), there are still many sober people at the event. I'd posit at any given time the majority of participants are sober, with the exception, perhaps, of Friday and Saturday night.

There's so much wrong with this car there's absolutely no way it goes to market.

It's a publicity stunt or a one off modified car for brand awareness. Not a production model.

It's an old car with some cheap eBay headlights stick on (I had those lights on a modified motorcycle I built up), cheap aftermarket wheels, dumped suspension so low the front wheels won't turn. It has the original mechanical door handles, front end fab work is atrocious and nothing lines up right.

I side with facebook on this one. It isn't like anyone can arbitrarily enter an email address association, or re-enter an associated email during the reset process.

@dang, I understand your complaint but wish to explain my original comment and response:

Firstly, the United States is under "cyber attack" by State actors seeking to influence our elections. This topic should definitely be appropriate to HN, yes?

@mindcrime asked of me why I hated him and other citizens (in the most leading and disingenuous manner possible). His comments were flagged.

I posted a newsworthy clip (this got a lot of attention in the press) that demonstrated what they were doing and why it was worrisome.

My only "personal swipe" was to tell him that if he was ok with propaganda that was designed to dehumanize the opposition, then he scared me. That is not a personal attack, per se.

Lastly, I think it's important to note that the tech community is party to a lot things that have huge social impacts and to deny that is, shall we say, not entirely honorable.

Note that parentheses do something, whereas commas are purely gratuitous. You can't just remove the inner parentheses in (1 2 (3 4) 5) without replacing them with something else. (1, 2, (3, 4), 5) is just stupid though.

This gave me an interesting idea for a thought experiment (do NOT read this as a recommendation): imagine the (US) government, instead of discouraging drinking, required a mandatory n (4?) drinks/week to healthy adults, and sent out free drink vouchers.

What effects would this policy have on social cohesion (or happiness) among adults? What would the downsides be?

EDIT: yes, obvious downsides are obvious. What I find interesting is the idea of the government providing a small mandate that then creates emergent social change, by virtue of everyone having to do it.

For example, the OP is about "no safe level of alcohol consumption" and recommends a policy change to decrease the recommendation. But what ends does this achieve? What sorts of government policies might encourage people to solve the problems that are making them unhappy? That's the kind of thing I'm trying to figure out.

'tptacek and I were just discussing this the other day for dependencies (both libraries and vendors). ICs in technical and non-technical roles ask us if a particular dependency is OK, and we evaluate it. Examples include the privileges a browser extension wants, the OAuth scopes a vendor wants, and the general security posture of a new library.

Individual evaluations don't capture risk you get from just having a lot of dependencies. "What happens if this gets compromised" is something we consider individually, but it becomes more actionable when you look at your dependencies globally. Examples: someone loses their Chrome Store credentials, or someone accidentally pushes AWS keys to GitHub, or someone loses their npm creds in an eslint-scope style problem. Now the dependency itself is malicious. If it's a library, that means code execution on your developer laptops, CI systems, and possibly customer devices.

Individual dependency requests are not the right place to push back on introducing a dependency. You need a second speed to address those by teaming up with e.g. the VPEng and usually someone in PeopleOps/HR/Sales/Marketing (for things like calendar mgmt, sales tools, ad-hoc CRMs) to periodically pare that list down.

Cool project none the less. I build a custom CPU in FPGA as a school project once. Far less complicated than A2Z, iirc I copied an instruction set from a different CPU, so I could use the assembler (and subsequently the C compiler) from that vendor. Can recommend doing such project (VHDL is not that hard to learn), it's an awesome learning experience!

Microsoft in the past had a pretty notorious employee performance system called "stack ranking" where basically no matter how well you did your job you could get classified as a "bottom performer" because a certain percentage had to be ranked lowest. It was a contributor to poor morale and employee stress. Many sales-oriented companies (Oracle?) will have similar performance metrics, e.g. next-to-impossible sales goals, etc. Amazon is not the only company to have a high-pressure work environment.

While some of it has other purposes, as well, destabilizing America by exacerbating and radicalizing existing internal political divisions is clearly a central purpose of the effort, so “seems to mostly piss people off” is actually a sign that it is working (especially when you consider the details of who is pissed off and what they direct that anger at.)
If we shouldn’t conflate having a single drink with alcohol-dependency then we also shouldn’t conflate the occasional drinker with those who are struggling with alcohol-dependency.
One thing I'd like to add, if your primary data store resides in a document-oriented DB like Mongo or Dynamo, GraphQL provides that missing "relational" piece, and allows you to create a strong schema without having to manually do "joins" in application code. I realize attempting to "relationalize" a document store isn't how you were supposed to use it, when I started at my current company thats what they had going on. GraphQL was essential for improving the sanity of how we grab data from dynamo, and gave us a good way to iteratively migrate over to Postgres where appropriate.
Train your ICs to be better at spotting risky behavior. They don't have to be able to exploit and fix the bugs: they just have to know when to ask for someone else to look at it.

One thing we've found to be effective here: we start with a comprehensive audit (appsec, infrasec, corpsec, deployment security, external network footprint) that tells us about systemic problems you face. Then we can provide targeted training where you contextualize the problem for ICs.

I'm sure Ryan McGee (magoo) has ways to tie that in to quantitatively making people better at risk estimates, but we're not trying to get ICs at clients to do that (yet).
