Thinking about this problem as a larger systemic problem makes me incredibly frustrated and sad about human nature and society overall.
They both seem to pay a lot of lip service while the reality greatly undermines the verbiage. I’d argue that in acting the representation of women is far better than in software development. The degree to which software development is an asocial boy’s club is hard to understate, and the pet theories about intelligence and genetics don’t help, but rather reinforce the farcical nature of the self-serving “meritocracy” narrative.
dude (not an indian btw), you can be racist no matter what you are. identifying as an indian does not make what you’re saying less offensive

What if the reason click through are so low is that there is little demand created by marketing and only a relatively low rate of unexpressed demand?

In my case, when I want something I will go find it. I spent three months looking for reviews of small, efficient cars before deciding on a VW Polo TDI. The day I went in to buy one, the salesman was only interested in selling stock they had in the floor that day (it was some kind of stocktake clearance) and none of those were TDI. He was extremely rude too. So I walked out of that dealership and bought a Mazda 2

Then I got three months of ads on various sites advertising Mazda 2.

Never any ads for small, fuel efficient cars while that was what I was searching for on Google. The magic of targeted advertising completely failed to work.

For the next few years, any ads for small efficient cars will be absolutely useless because I have no need for another one.

And for some reason I am getting lots of ads for women’s clothing. I suspect this is based on assumptions about men in long term relationships looking for a bit on the side, but once again those ads miss their mark because I have never bought womens clothing, I do not visit sugar daddy dating sites, so I have no idea why they think I should be interested.

It’s not just “people who don’t click anything,” it’s “people who aren’t interested in what you are selling,” and “the thing you are selling is not an impulse buy.”

Nobody buys a second economy car as an impulse buy. A good deal on a 600mm Nikon F Mount might catch my interest though (but they’re all the same price as my car, so I don’t necessarily have that kind of money)
It depends on the person and job, of course. I've worked with people who added net negative productivity for the company, so for them, the breaking point would actually be 0.

It's actually quite unusual to make employees anything except for incidental expenses (like meals) up front. Generally, making employees pay big-ticket expenses (including travel) and seek reimbursement is a legal and accounting nightmare, so it's something that a well-run business tries to avoid. (In some states, it's even illegal to require employees pay for necessary business expenses.)

The exception tends to be law and accounting firms, which issue cards to their employees for business use. The employee "pays" up front using the cards, but the card is connected to the employer's expensing system and the funds are deposited to the employee's account the payday following his submission of the expense report.

100% not the same as Alex's sad situation, but for kidneys a dual stem-cell-transplant and kidney-transplant has been done[1]. It was NOT done due to cancer (but due to kidney scarcity) and was NOT done for the liver. I don't think it could ever even be done for the liver because stem-cell-transplant cannot (to the best of my knowledge) be done from a cadaver-donor. Maybe some medical center would be willing to try a living-donor for SCT and partial-liver...but I'm not sure it would get past the ethics committee.

>The most frustrating part of using Clippy is that it did not force a reanalysis of all packages in my cargo workspace when invoked multiple times.

This is because the author used `#[warn(clippy::all)]` instead of `#[deny]`. Warnings do not fail the build, so subsequent rebuilds will be no-ops. If you're at the stage where you've fixed regular compilation errors and are only fixing clippy lints, you should probably change that to `#[deny]`. (I personally keep it at `#[deny]` from the start.) Or run clippy as `cargo clippy -- -Dwarnings` to treat warnings as errors.

>Linking to code units in rustdoc was hard to do correctly since there were so many ways to do it.

If you're planning to publish the crate to crates.io and are okay with relying on docs.rs to host the docs, then you can rely on the fact that docs.rs uses a nightly rustdoc and use nightly-rustdoc-specific features. Specifically you can use

[`Foo`]

to create a link to whatever `Foo` happens to be in the code scope.

>My one complaint is that `RUST_LOG=debug cargo run` dumps all of the verbose debug logs from cargo while your program is being built.

You would use the env_logger builder to parse a different env var like "PUNCHTOP_LOG", instead of the default "RUST_LOG".

> Additionally, you can argue that the US army does not provide too much security, because it doesn't take someone more than a few seconds to look at the world and see the world is not 100% safe.

This is a question coming from complete layman. In fact, I'm ashamed to ask such a stupid question. But I'm still curious:

> Is said that you can remove 2/3 of the liver and the remain cells will regenerate a complete liver in only 2 weeks.

Does this mean it's possible for one to donate liver (say, half a liver) and live like nothing happened (except a scar)? Then why don't everyone donate their liver like this? Why are there only 4000 livers in the US?

"Zeug" makes more sense if you think of it as the English "gear" -- tools and equipment, the original etymology -- which is also uncountable. "Thing" isn't entirely wrong, but it's specifically a thing that is some sort of device that has utility. A Flugzeug can be thought or as flying equipment, Fahrzeug is driving equipment, and so on.

In Norwegian and Danish you'll have -tøy/-tøj words that came from Germanic via Old Norse: "fartøy" (vehicle or boat, as in "Fahrzeug"), "leketøy/legetøj" (toy; literally play-thing).

"Zeug" (or rather, its proto-Germanic ancestor) survives in English as "toy", funnily enough.
Stick a video camera inside the car. If an ML algorithm detects anything too far outside of the norm, send the video to a human. If the human notices damage, the riders are banned from the system. Banned rider lists could be shared between autonomous taxi providers. End result: no one will fuck with the cars.
It was a hard decision sometimes, (as most boards gave only an hour so other people get a turn). Do I play Tradewars? LORD? What about downloading another half of disk 2 of UFO:Enemy Unknown? Maybe I should just stuff it all and go chat with the dude on line 2.

519 was an amazing and active BBS community. I still have friends that I see regularly. Some boards we used to chat all night or on occasion we'd insta-rush a bar, karaoke, or bownling alley at 3am just because we could. Some great memories, people etc. So far on the Interwebs I've found only dragons and monsters! lol
Lol I just asked the same question without seeing your response. I was thinking hollow canvas tubes radiating out from a central hub, slowly unspooled in flight. Some mechanism would use the mechanism of rotation to draw air outward along the tubes to keep them inflated, combined with rotation induced from the central hub. No idea if that would work...

>One manager I had was pretty candid about it, he said he couldn't find another job and was looking to retire so he was going to give me a bad performance review despite actually being the top performer so he wouldn't be affected. He was otherwise very apologetic that his hand was forced.

I must be dense because I don't understand this. Your manager couldn't find another job, was instead looking to retire, and gave you a bad performance review?

Also, if one abandons the idea that dose response is linear, there is the possibility that the slope is even larger in the low dose regime than LNT would predict. The conservative approach would then be to adopt stricter limits, not looser ones.
Not sure where you've come up with this bizarre and selective understanding of US history. Ohio is notorious for racially-based restrictive covenants on housing

Note that I was specifically talking about the unintended impacts of such laws on the youth of one's "own" group. California is singularly bad about that. (I have a different view on these things, outside of the usual polarization. So people tend to project a "side" to my comments which isn't intended and actually isn't there. As a non-white person whose parents experienced ethnically based exclusion, such projections make little sense to me.)

The Cantonese dialect originally came from the Guangdong/Guangzhou area (Guangdong was originally pronounced Canton, hence the name Cantonese), Hong Kong was originally a fishing village of ~7000 people (so was Shenzhen 40 years ago) before becoming a colony so the language won't disappear.

People from Shenzhen speak Cantonese as well and Shenzhen is already connected to Hong Kong by subway. This Greater Bay Area is really just making something that was more unofficial official. Shenzhen is part of Guangdong province while Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong is also about 45 minutes by train from Hong Kong. The Greater Bay Area is really more about making it more official that Hong Kong is related as a group with Guangdong.
I think the importance of 5G is not only tied to the consumer wanting a faster internet. It is tied to potential advances in remote surgeries, automated cars, Amazon drone packages, VR for medical purposes, potential improvements in security, cuts in operational cost by the carriers, etc.

It should be seeing similarly to advances in computer power throughout time, to some it makes little difference depending on the time horizon they are viewing, to others it allowed for machine learning to be used by a wider audience for example.

I actually like knowing that what I see is the same as what other people see. Among other problems, it's hard for a site to cultivate a consistent culture if everyone has their own filter bubbles in it. I don't mean to rail against customizability completely, but I see what's basically "just let everyone make their own filter bubbles" brought up way too often as a one-size-fits-all solution for culture problems on websites with the downsides almost never brought up.

There's been a few times where I was a heavy user of a small filter-bubble of a site, recommended the site to others, and then later realized most people associated the site with certain kinds of content or idealogical positions (that I had avoided in my unique view of the site). That can be uncomfortable.

As a much more minor and kind of silly case: there was a forum I was a very long-time user of, and it had an old-school visual design that I somewhat associated with the community. I expected that other users would easily recognize screenshots of it or even things with a similar color scheme. I wondered if the old-school design of it influenced the community and had considered writing something about that if I wrote about site design. Then one day I visited the forum while logged out. It had a much more modern and conventional visual design. It turned out that a new theme had been made for the site many years ago and made default only for new users which now made up the bulk of the community. I felt uncomfortably solipsistic to learn that after so much time.
That was not my experience with TF2, and I played quite a bit. However, I was on North American servers between 2007 and 2011. I haven't played since, so perhaps things have changed or the culture is different across regions.

"Why do we care that not everyone is offered the same opportunities? Life isn't fair."

Does that mean we live with the status quo ? Whether it's institutional racism, sexism or plain fascism, do we not fight against inequalities in society to make it better ? You're lucky to have 24x7 electricity and internet connection, you wouldn't be so gung ho about "Life isn't fair" if you couldn't sustain yourself.

"Until I see women fighting to take on all the roles men have taken in life, Alaskan commercial fishermen, roughneck oil rig workers, loggers etc... and just not 1 or 2, equal representation throughout I am not concerned with unequal representation in STEM, tech or any of the fashionable areas to be concerned with."

Who are you to gatekeep what they can or can't go in ? I guarantee you most middle class males also won't go for these jobs, demand is often governed by economic opportunities and right now services and software is ruling the roost. Who are you to decide these arbitrary standards for being eligible for "fashionable" sectors.
I love "bulkbits".

While I will agree SLR body styles are easier to use we don't want them, it's that we accept that the size and weight are the price we need to pay for the performance that you simply can't get out of a phone.

What an eloquent way to summarize the silly elitism of Google interviews.

They seem to have no lack of talent and it certainly doesn't seem to be negatively affecting them. I wonder if this will change eventually, and Google will become IBM v2.0 (that is, a respected and profitable company which is mostly boring/unexciting).
I am Russian and my best manager ever, in 20 years of software development, was Indian. So YMMV and these kinds of generalizations need to become a thing of the past.

> it is unknown the degree to which it contributes to standard computations and processing within different neural systems

And that is not even the topic of the article:

"the present study shows that the in-vitro slow periodic activity, mediated by
the NMDA spikes, can propagate non-synaptically by a mechanism consistent with ephaptic
coupling. This study implies that the effect of ephaptic coupling could play an important role
in the propagation of neural activity under normal physiological conditions as well as
pathological situations."

Important: "slow periodic activity"

Also important: it's in vitro: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_vitro

"In vitro (meaning: in the glass) studies are performed with microorganisms, cells, or biological molecules outside their normal biological context. Colloquially called "test-tube experiments"..."

What's new: "Results support the hypothesis that endogenous electric fields, previously thought to be
too small to trigger neural activity, play a significant role in the self-propagation of slow
periodic activity in the hippocampus."

In short, they claim to have proved that under some special conditions the propagation can happen even by what was believed to be too small fields.

But as it's the first paper about that, it's reasonable for the observers to wait for other scientists to repeat the experiment and review the details of it... before making any conclusions.

GEICO and Berkshire Hathaway are a unique beast in the industry. Their ability to gainfully employee capital is somewhat unmatched. Historically many companies managed to eek out an underwriting profit but distracted driving and bodily injury changed the game for many auto underwriters over the years following the iPhone's debut. Just in the last year or two or so years have some companies returned to modest profitability in this line. If you are not Warren Buffett your need to generate an underwriting profit is more or less essential. Weak returns on low risk investments vehicles which have performed worse in a post crash world make it even harder for insurance companies in general and make underwriting profit even more essential.

If you are a multi-line writer at this point you are well aware of the impact that autonomous, vehicle services and mobility services will have on auto. At this point its slightly better than a loss leader for other more profitable lines.

I'd argue that flat structures don't exist outside of tiny companies, only clearly delineated and obfuscated structures, none of which are flat after 20 people or so. So when a medium-sized or larger company says they are "flat", it means they are struggling to understand their own organization.

Of course, differing degrees of stratification are still possible. The "Spotify model" decouples team leadership and cuts down a bit on stratification by distributing authority. But even then the model is not at all flat when you zoom out. And the smaller degree of stratification comes at the cost of incurring extra overhead resolving decisions amongst multiple stakeholders who have all been empowered over certain limited aspects of different teams/projects/services.

Fair points. I was trying to illustrate that there are plenty of ways other than phones which can track people, but as you say, the guy in the trenchcoat doesn't scale. Better examples would be ubiquitous cameras with facial or number plate recognition.
I think, holistically, you are correct. Technology and science should advance. Individually, though, the fight can quite literally be all but over. This is not pessimistic or fatalistic, but very real.

Definitely need more pay not less to work remotely. Also, biweekly is better than monthly as another here stated. As for expenses, can’t talk much on that but it’s best if you get them paid up fast or if they are fairly typical in terms of the amount each time, ask for a payment up front to cover the bulk and make up the difference later. Employee does not mean you cannot make demands. Make all the demands you want and if they say no then you can say no too. It’s a 2 way street.
