Not pay him hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, not contribute billions in development time, etc.

This is already happening. People already choose not to contribute to Linux and Fuschia isn't just some hobby project.
I think you are overstating the situation dramatically. The fact that you use words like "political correctness" and "SJW" tells me a lot about where you've gotten your ideas from. (Also the cute bit about "tolerance" is getting outdated, but it doesn't even have anything to do with this situation. No one is asking Linus for "tolerance".)

But maybe take a step back from all of that, and try to look at things in a different way.

You say "his project, his rules." But that's not the same as not being in "bad form". Plenty of "nice guys" are also abusive to their subordinates. Linus was verbally abusive to contributors, and it happened over and over again. Sure, he has to put up with a lot and has a ton of pressure on him. But profanity laced rants are not the only way to "trounce the idiots".

Lots of people could deal with Linus's behavior. But it also drove a lot more people away. Talented, dedicated workers who could have contributed to Linux but stopped because of the culture around kernel development. Even if you personally think he's a nice guy and was never "in bad form", the actual impact of his behavior on the kernel community was a negative thing. It was bad for Linux. So I'm glad he stepped away and got some help, and that he's come back a little more thoughtful about how his own behavior impacts others. It was necessary for the continued success of Linux.

Ultimately that's what this is about. It's possible to say the same thing and send the same message in ways that are hurtful to other people and in ways that aren't. Sometimes in anger or impatience or fear we lash out in a hurtful way. But part of growing up and being a good leader is finding better ways to express ourselves to avoid being hurtful if we can help it.

Taking time to be thoughtful and constructive in your communication is part of being a good leader. Insults and profanity do not add clarity--they are a needless distraction. It's not "political correctness" to take a moment and not give into your first instinct to lash out and insult others. It's not an "SJW mindset" to be clear and direct and avoid being needlessly hurtful.
This is a concept that any leader needs to take to heart.

If you want your words to be taken seriously, you can't simultaneously expect people to always intuit when you do not mean your words seriously. Since humor often carries some grain of truth, you have to be careful that your people don't interpret the wrong grain of truth. I've seen this several times where a CEO cracks a joke and the employees take it the wrong way, then culture changes weirdly and nobody realizes that it was a miscommunication over a joke.
No. You’ve just given people the power to offend you. Some people need to be taught, and they also work with the criticism constructively.

My handwriting was once so terrible as to be illegible, and I refused to change it. My teacher called me out by holding up my writing for the class to see. Instead of crying about it, I changed my handwriting, and it changed the way I was able to organise my work. This is so much better the alternative of diplomatically letting crap work slide.
Is there a video or slide notes?
> When social order collapses, for instance due to a natural disaster, we turn to some pretty nasty behavior quite quickly even when it's in no way necessary.

Only in misanthropist fiction and television shows. When social order collapses in real life previously equal people organize, cooperate, and protect the weak.

That being said, if there's some extreme social stratification in the group already, and there was previously a wider authority explicitly restraining the more powerful group from completely enslaving the weak group, of course that would change if the wider authority were eliminated.

During the flooding of New Orleans, the footage exemplifying "nasty behavior" broadcast on television were generally starving people looting grocery stores, cold, wet people foraging for clothing, blankets and bedding, or at the worst (and rarest) impoverished people looking for things they might be able to sell. The really scary thing was how police, both alone and as hastily-assembled white citizens' councils, started looting the town and threatening and killing flood survivors with impunity, and how the media cheered them on with a narrative of "nasty behavior."

Almost the entire source of nasty behavior in the case of that disaster was from people who were completely secure - the New Orleans police, police in nearby towns, and the national media.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_Hurricane_Katrina_i...

> Civil disturbances in post-Hurricane Katrina were consistent with all existing research on disaster sociology, which concludes that “[post-disaster] widespread looting [is] a myth”,[51] and were vastly overstated by the media, ultimately fueling a climate of suspicion and paranoia which greatly hampered rescue efforts and further worsened the conditions of the survivors.[52]

> Some initial reports of mass chaos, particularly in stories about the Superdome, were later found to be exaggerated or rumor.[53] In the Superdome for example, the New Orleans sex crimes unit investigated every report of rape or atrocity and found only two verifiable incidents, both of sexual assault. The department head told reporters, "I think it was an urban myth. Any time you put 25,000 people under one roof, with no running water, no electricity and no information, stories get told." Based on these reports, government officials expected hundreds of dead to be found in the Superdome, but instead found only six dead: four natural deaths, one drug overdose, and one suicide.[43][54] In a case of reported sniper fire, the "sniper" turned out to be the relief valve of a gas tank popping every few minutes.[53]

I don't think the issue is intelligence but how were you raised and what values were emphasized by your parents.

'You are smart!' is one of the worst things you can say to your children. It places their own self image on a dependency of results in an ever increasing difficulty of tests.

'You did a great job this time! I hope you enjoyed the challenge!' places their own self image on their effort, not on the results.

It seems a small change, but the resulting mindset could not be more different.
That's certainly a problem. My grandfather was a man who was tasked with killing spies, knew three languages, and out of all of this, I cannot even get him to talk about privacy or security. It appears even he was taught just to shut down on it and say nothing; even on your practices. All the while he taught child soldiers to become child assassin's for the US military.

If you're a security person, I suspect his recommendation would be - even though he doesn't understand IT and tech - to say you don't even understand how SSH works or can't tell the difference between encryption and hashing.
Battery and storage technology is still the limiting factor in broad adoption of clean energy.

We need a Manhattan project for storage technology is we will every realize the conclusions in this post.
Because if your approach is to dramatically change the most complicated part of the electrical grid, consumption, and you haven't exhausted the supply side improvements, then you're probably not going to succeed.
One feature that would be useful for me would be the ability to convert a video to a PGN of the game. This could, for example, be used to strip game data from streamed chess en masse and then analyze the chess games in aggregate.
You've missed my point about `&.` (probably because I didn't provide much of an explanation) - it's fine in certain cases (your example is a good one), but it's also something that can be easily abused. Very often I've seen people use `&.` even for methods that can never return `nil`, which is confusing for people who read their code. I've also seen plenty of methods which could have returned a en empty collection on an empty string that return a nil for no good reason, but it's easy to deal with nil now, so why bother to think carefully... Every feature that promotes sloppy APIs nil is a potential liability and should be used carefully.
Pah. The Ketamine Fast Track approval feels a bit like a bad joke. See Scott Alexander's recent blog post here:

https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/03/11/ketamine-now-by-prescr...

Really wish they'd have gone for Arketamine. To quote in part from above:

"Another possibility is that everyone made a huge mistake in using left-handed ketamine, and it’s right-handed ketamine that holds the magic. Most previous research was done on a racemic mixture (an equal mix of left-handed and right-handed molecules), and at least one study suggests it was the right-handed ketamine that was driving the results. Pharma decided to pursue left-handed ketamine because it was known to have a stronger effect on NMDA receptors, but – surprise! – ketamine probably doesn’t work through NMDA after all. So there’s a chance that this is just the wrong kind of ketamine – though usually I expect big pharma to be smarter than that, and I would be surprised if this turned out to be it. I don’t know if anybody has a right-handed ketamine patent yet."

I don't think that quite covers it, tho. Personally, I suspect Esketamine, as the part of racemic Ketamine that causes hallucinations exhibits an 'antidepressant' effect similar to the one weakly associated with psychedelics, i.e. more by granting new high level psychological insight than via some low level neurological effect - whereas I'd speculate Arketamine causes the documented 'magic' and RAPID next-day antidepressive effect of racemic Ketamine.

Which makes me suspect we'd probably do well doing the same thing done with some other stereoisomeric medications such as for example in the case of Adderall, which has a ratio of Dexamphetamine to Levo Amphetamine of 3:1(viz., 75% Dex, 25% Levo):

Figure out the optimal ratio of the two stereoisomers (to each other) for depression treatment.
I'm not close enough to the problem to identify the solution with authority, but there are many options. Most significantly to me, long distance transmission lines will hopefully allow sunny Arizona to sell power to wintery Minnesota. But I do agree about the pitfalls of complacency.

The beautiful thing about electrification is its source agnosticism. You can put in heat pumps today, power them off natural gas turbines for now, and switch out to something better in the future at will. As long as your heat pumps can achieve COP of ~2 or better for most of the winter, they should have comparable overall efficiency if we assume the electricity from the natural gas plant is in total about 50% efficient.
I'd hazard a guess that, considering there's no real bar to clear for generating facebook content (an email address, maybe a prepaid phone number, and a working internet connection), it might be less than one in ten records is not the work of a business or automation outfit. So less than 10%.

Consider that algorithmic trading in stock markets is insanely noisy, and each trade comes with a fee. Many trades are executed as pricing probes, or efforts to exploit a minute shift in a given price. Assume facebook traffic has similar motives, just to suck impressions into a viral current for any particular campaign of appeal, or at least convince clientelle that advertising with a PR firm actually works. Gaining available eyeballs results in fractions of a penny in certain "users" pockets.
Yes, that's why people asked him to get a handle on himself. Because he has driven away dozens of talented contributors with his bad behavior.

While I wouldn't call Facebook content benign, I definitely try to be mindful when I see articles like these that news sites like Bloomberg are so eager to attack Facebook because Facebook is the biggest and most direct threat to their business model.

This is an excellent point, and I'm a little embarrassed that I didn't catch it myself.

What I find interesting about this hypothesis is that consciousness is just a stream of thoughts which we do not control. Like whenever you think something it just arrives to your mind. Often we experience thought as spoken words in our mind but we don't know where they come from. They come from the subconscious but we are not aware of that part of ourselves. In dreams we have information expressed to us from the subconscious through symbolic representations. What if we could talk to our subconscious mind? When thinking about this I allways remember how John Nash described his paranoic ideas comming from the same voice his mathematical ideas came from.

It's ridehailing, ride-sharing is completely different. Ride-sharing REDUCES congestion.

Ridehailing increases congestion if the city's public transport system is terrible.

This is not a fault of ridehailing, it's a symptom of bad infra.
> And one parameter is 99% of the cases.

In Ruby, the two-parameter hash-iteration case alone is common enough that that's not true.

In a single line block, I think that often impairs rather than enhances readability.
If we're going to count disposal cost, we should definitely count the externalities for other methods as well. Climate change, pollution, etc.

Calling your software startup Red Planet Labs is a bit like calling your architecture firm Lunar Industries. We are too late in the age of space travel for such 'whimsical' venture names to not be intrinsically confounding.

Birthright citizenship in the USA should be decided by the US Supreme Court.

Trump may be waiting for Justice Ginsburg to retire on this one. A conservative majority would likely agree with the authors of the 14th amendment and narrowly define the Jurisdiction clause such that native born are US citizens if their parents are not citizens of some other country.

Thank you. I'm not sure how people don't grasp this.
Honestly, I am not sure what purpose does that serve. I read the motivational docs, and they seem to be clear, but what they describe is like a representation of IR at a specific compilation step, which has some predefined metadata for a specific use case + restrictions on data flow.

IMHO, the hardest part is obtaining that metadata and converting normal code into that form, not compilation of that form further down into the machine code.
LedgerX (https://ledgerx.com) | Sr Eng: Frontend/Backend/Infra | Full-Time | ONSITE | New York, NY (NYC)

LedgerX is a CFTC-regulated Bitcoin options exchange. VC-backed and operational (with actual paying customers), we're now expanding into the retail market. We've done all this with a small engineering team, now we're looking for a few good people to help us scale up.

About the engineering culture:
Company structure is fairly flat, and there's lots of room for you to help shape the engineering as we grow. We'll expect you to be proactive and take ownership, but if you've got an idea for a better way to do something, you've generally got free reign. No rockstars, no egos, and we value honest discussions (with empathy required).

No whiteboard or esoteric algorithm questions in the interviews. Promise.

Stack: AWS (EC2, RDS), Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, Python, React/Redux/Typescript

Much more detailed job descriptions are available on job descriptions are available at https://ledgerx.workable.com but we're looking for additional help on frontend, getting our Python backend ready for scale, and someone to keep the infrastructure rolling along. These are not hard-and-fast roles, just the gaps we have: if you want to take on various pieces, we'll hire around you.

I'm a senior engineer here, please email me with questions: justin at ledgerx dot com

It's not just shutting down everything, you can shift heating and cooling and battery charging loads to renewable rich times. Its economically incentivized to do so as renewables can drastically reduce wholesale prices at those times.
Nice. Captain Marvel's website wouldn't load without enabling javascript for three domains, and then wanted four more after it loaded. It looks retro, but it's the same modern web crap.

Awesome comment. I feel as you do, and believe that early culture, those wide ranging thoughts have more value than we might realize right now.

A global sense of US. That is what it was. People becoming aware, the world smaller...

I do not know the answer either, other than I too oppose Real Names type efforts.
See kahirsch's comment below—Spielberg believes in a distinction between media designed for large screens and media designed for small screens. He has made both types of media, and so clearly believes they both have merit, but thinks only the former—films for large screens—should be eligible for an Oscar.
That's why the play is with somewhere inbetween, with continental apps like Taxify(bolt), Ola, Grab and Didi. Or then web-based ride hailing.
Not caring about the future is something a 17 year old would do. Not worrying about whether the stuff he loves now will endure tomorrow is typical of that age. He simply hasn't lived long enough and matured enough to feel nostalgic about stuff. I promise you he will miss things when he's 30 or 40.

I think this reflects more on teenagers and grownups than on the internet :)

> His perspective seemed to be that there's so many webcomics and the "memes" and conversations he has with his friends are ever evolving, there's not really a lot of time to care about the old stuff.

He's missing on old stuff like Calvin & Hobbes, to name just one example.
>If we don't find a way to solve that problem, however imperfectly, we'll have to learn to live with a certain degree of unjust collateral damage, both to individuals and our social infrastructure.

On the bright side, the collateral from such situations is not always entirely negative. My (imperfect) words once fell "victim" to shaming on a popular social media website; while there was a large downside associated with this, I, much like the author, owned my opinion and clarified where needed. The outreach I received from those who actually mattered turned out to weigh more positively than the hatred from those who didn't.
Or an air conditioner along with a separate pool heater.

Or a fridge/freezer that dumps out heat indoors during A/C season, and/or a hot water heater that isn’t combined with the refrigeration system.

A single heat pump could run it all: fridge, freezer, pool, HVAC and hot water. Maybe even a pre-heat element on a stove top.

Well, MLIR is getting its star turn at the LLVM meeting later this week in Brussels. I've flipped through the MLIR rationale doc and the earlier CGO presentation [1]. Correct me if I'm wrong but MLIR is meant for higher level optimizations which are then lowered to a more LLVM-like dialect for actual codegen.

My question is does this mean anything to non-TensorFlow-like backends? Is the aarch64 backend going to change at all?

I've been very close to creating something like this internally. It is easy to write a Dockerfile that produces a compact and optimal container. But it's the same lines of code over and over again. Anything we have that's a static site looks like:

FROM node:10 AS build
WORKDIR /foo
COPY . .
RUN npm i
RUN npx webpack

FROM nginx:whatever
COPY nginx.conf /etc/nginx/config.d/
COPY --from=build /foo/dist /srv
...

It's fine when you have one. Annoying when you have a couple. This isn't code that needs to be checked into the repository and updated. It needs to just work.

The other thing I'd like to see is the ability to output multiple containers from one Dockerfile. There is so much wasted work where I have webpack stuff and a go application that run in separate containers but are built together. There is one Dockerfile like the above to build the static part. There is another to build the go binary and copy it to an almost-pristine alpine container (including dumb-init, cacerts, tzdata, and grpc_health_probe). I don't understand why I have to have two Docker files to do that.
I don't think all of this really matter to him anyway. He started this linux thing for free.
In fairness I'm not sure any given person qualifies as being responsible for being "the media" or all the other stuff.

There's a large amount of "media" folks who at worst title an article in a way that catch's eyeballs, compared to those actually pushing straight bullshit.

Anyone selling BS to people deserves scorn, that includes Facebook.
Wikipedia confirms 1000 feet, so they must have meant "a hundred-story" building. "a Manhattan" is a typographical error.
