I think his biggest miss was failing to connect the region to the rest of the country. He could have easily compared Appalachia to Rust Belt cities facing urban decay but never made the connection. It could have made the story of the region more approachable to more people. It seemed so obvious to me how the areas are linked by economic circumstances, environmental degradation, poor education levels, distinct culture and problems with drug addiction.

I would argue against the first being obviously beneficial. The downsides of having such a system in place in my opinion outweighs any current or foreseeable benefit. One step further, I have yet to hear of a scenario where facial recognition would be a positive application. In my opinion the complete rejection is the right approach when it comes to facial recognition. Being able to automatically identify a person without them noticing or being able to prevent the identification in the future is in its very core dystopian. Its an application to end privacy, no different to the old scifi idea of getting a remotely readable identification chip implanted at birth. With the difference of the hypothetical chance to remove your scifi chip surgically. With facial identification the only realistic option is plastic surgery. We were lucky for a while that the technology wasnt ready yet, but it is getting more and more practical to utilize.

Its unfortunate that the idea of privacy is in such a downhill spiral, but the much more daunting question is, if privacy can so easily be abandoned, how will other stuff, like freedom of thought be treated in the future? What happens if technological development of surveillance could catch up some day? We are currently living in a society where no matter how horrific the methods, there are some who will find justifications to utilize them on other people. If the charges are heinous enough, human rights go out of the window. You only have to think of torture and look as far as Guantanamo. Differently put, in a society that preserves samples of eradicated plagues for possible future military uses and has no quarrels of threatening to torture the kids of enemy combatants, the research into and work on offensive capabilities with disastrous capabilities, like I would argue facial recognition is, is morally reprehensible.

Reality perception is subjective. Thus there is no true way to "capture reality".
You really think democracy solved these? The Greeks had their demagogues, and today we still have political elites. Even a "perfect" democracy would still be majority rule (as benevolent it voluntarily might act towards the minorities).

Hierarchies save us from chaos and anarchy. And at the same time they open us up for abuse and make everything less democratic.

In practice, we seem to strive to find a balance where we allow some hierarchy to avoid chaos (representatives in our democracy, chain of command in governments) while we simultaneously try to cap the powers of such hierarchies and also establish competing hierarchies so they can check each other (e.g. separation of powers in most democracies).

However, we did not really solve anything, but created a system we constantly try to re-adjust once it tilts too much to either direction, and from which we try to eliminate bad actors.
I think the most pressing detail of the additional reveal is that not only was this exec paid $90 million for sexually harassing female employees, he also went on to try to avoid having to give his wife her share of the money. It's the mistreating and disrespecting women in your life twofer.
We already solved this problem for politics long time ago by inventing democracy.

Are you arguing that democracy has fixed abuses of power?

It depends on how much you value your life and your body parts. I value them quite highly ;)
That's understandable. And those willing to break out will have a price to pay. Like the "your phone is insecure" message on boot after you went to a bunch of complicated steps to unlock your bootloader. That's acceptable. Removing this option entirely is not.

Or, you know, having multiple trust sources installed on your phone. I'd like to download apps by microsoft without having to beg google for permission. Manually adding new stores/etc should come with drawbacks / be unacceptable complicated for average users, of cause.
Fixed bids work well with productized services, where both parties have a very good idea of the work required and the end result, but are often disastrous in the more general case.
Phone manufacturers are trying to figure out how to make their phones as much screen as possible, while still having a front facing camera, so they have either a notch, a slide-out camera, or a hole for the camera in the screen.

I propose they put that hole not in a corner, but in the middle of the screen, and position the remote person's face so that the pupil of one of their eyes is positioned exactly over the camera. That should give you the most natural interaction without distorting anything.
Though it's not cheaper on a materials basis, it may very well be cheaper on a fully-installed basis on an automated assembly line.
Do you think senior management at MS believes your comments are a good idea or at best benign? Or do you think all the details of your comments have just not yet fully reached VP level, legal, and PR?

I'm thinking they'd disapprove. That's just a guess, maybe they think it's fine and great. However, it may be worth at least considering another possibility.

Does your company want random technical employees, making non-technical statements, about how people are "ripping off" MS?

It's your job to raise the flag internally and help people understand up and down the chain, and across functional lines the context and perceived severity of the issue.

Please don't take this comment in the vein of you're just an engineer shut up and code, in fact you have a critical role as someone with domain expertise.

The point is when you stumble onto a high visibility cross-functional issue, I've found on sensitive topics many organizations seem to appreciate when someone reacts by coordinating, discussing, and facilitating a cross functional, unified response with one designated voice, that acts in the best interests the company.
Are FAANG already considered too big to fail?
Sorry if this sounds like a meaningless question, but I'm very ignorant on this subject, regarding their size (financial, number of workers etc) and clout. And I also know that the term 'too big to fail' is not very objectively defined.

To me such template language is a huge step back from JSX. JSX is JavaScript, thus you get the full power of the language (JS/TS) with the full support from your editor (type checking, auto-completion, etc.).
It's going to depend entirely on the city, and even the location of an office. For ANYONE to get to my office, at minimum you have to cross at least one highway, and likely travel down the narrow shoulder of it for several miles, to get to our building. For most you have to cross under interstate as well on said highway. There are virtually no bike lanes in Indy outside of a handful of neighborhoods.

Never mind we had it rain nearly every day for like a month and that this week it's in the 90Fs with air quality alerts and 60%+ humidity every day and just walking to your car gets you sweating and NO ONE wants to smell you all day because you biked to work... and then come winter it'll get below 0F many days with varying amounts of snow and ice. I think we had -35F windchill this past winter on a day or two it was -12F.
I'm tempted to feel that if you are dumb enough to put one of these things in your house, you deserve to have your privacy obliterated by a huge private corporation who is as likely to hand it over to a government as they are to sell it to advertisers or worse.

I don't believe that, but it is shocking to me that anyone would want one of these things.
Well, the complaint is by his "soon to be ex" [sic] wife. And I imagine that the people Rubin was supposed to fairly manage might also have some objections to the whole thing. It's not just any violation of "company policy", it's a pretty blatant breach of basic professional ethics.

I'm really sorry to hear that google ads got even more, and now they're going to complain about a monopoly. Things like GDPR also make it harder to start a competitor, as paperwork and red tape always do; I have not personally worked on GDPR for any thing, but know some one who does and it's a nightmare.

If stringent government regulation got you here, maybe it will be less of that, not more, that gets you out.
Research institutions are bravely fighting with "sexual discrimination" and at the same time:

- they implicitly discourage men to apply for job by adding "We especially encourage women to apply." to job ads,

- they understand "equality" as equal number men and women working at some institute/position/area instead of equal rights and opportunities and promoting best minds,

- they have plenty of grants and awards considered only for women.

And all above is coming from so called "smart people" that should give education for the next generations.

Even in this article it does not say 18 months.

"If a vacancy fails to attract suitable candidates within six months, it will be opened up to men, and after 18 months the entire scheme will be revised, the university said on Tuesday."

The rule is: For the first 6 months of any recruitment process, only look at female CVs. After this time, also start inviting the men. After 18 months, evaluate the success of this rule and decide whether to follow through for the full 5 years.
I suppose that depends on what you understand as "egalitarian". Lots of dictatorships could advertise as "flat hierarchies (dictator > military > everyone)".

Most democracies have a lot of hierarchies, both on the government levels (federal, state, county, city etc) and in the political parties that make up those governments. Democracy formalizes decisions and transitions, but I haven't seen a lot of hierarchies removed.
Yeah I value my privacy and security a lot more than that.

This perception problem is in fact a problem, but this also ignores another explaination (speculatively) that less-qualified men are getting more funding over more-qualified women due to unconscious biases of the reviewers. Which at least has studies that say this might be the case.

I don't know if we have studies that indicate evidence that less-qualified women are getting more funding than more-qualified men. For example this comment chain is mostly anecdata, which makes it difficult, as it relies on how good-faith we wish to take the anecdote and how that anecdote either enforces one's existing biases or can just be dismissed as anecdotal and not genuine studies. But even the "genuine" studies are in a field where we have a replication crisis.

So, what I'm saying is: I don't know, and I don't think anyone else knows, the whole truth and breakdown of the matter. And I'd be suspicious of anyone claiming they are under a broadsale impression of anything regarding the quality of women in STEM.
1924 cars took a lot of labor on an on-going basis to keep running. (Hell, 1960s cars took a lot of labor to keep running as compared to today's cars that visit a mechanic perhaps annually.)
The best way to understand what makes Appalachia what it is culturally, is to read _Albion's Seed_. The people who ended up there came from parts of Britain that required extreme self-sufficiency and had no real functional government.

> To a first approximation, the purpose of Go is to stop every codebase from reinventing its own tuples or Result<> type.

Rust has this too. You can throw away type information and incur a runtime cost just like with Rust by using "Trait Objects", which are Rusts version of interfaces, basically. Luckily most choose not to use this for error communication.

However I struggle to understand that throwing type information away and incurring runtime cost is the pinnacle of error communication.

Furthermore, the idea that this somehow prevents codebases from "reinventing" anything is absolute nonsense. Basically every Go lib out there has different error handling. Hell, I wrote a library of my own (similar to pkg/errors). The very items I listed in my OP showed how every lib has it. You have no idea how each Go lib reinvented the wheel to know how you handle their errors. All with runtime checking. Madness.
>With iOS, Apple is in control. With Android, apparently nobody is in control...

A thousand times this.

The state of the mobile universe right now is such that you have to either effectively trust Apple, or you have to effectively trust everyone. That's why HN User qwerty456127's choice to go to Android was fine, if he wants to be able to install his own apps, but it seriously compromised his privacy and security.

Nope. Sorry. No easy to use options for you out there.
It's interesting the parallels that can be drawn to tobacco addiction, of all things. Hook 'em while they're young, and they won't think anything about expanding the surveillance when they're in power, because it's what they're used to, so why not if it can protect people?

- "efficiently encode images" - same as above

I can easily get rid of those issues, "simply" by not showing any ads. The site will then be really fast, and... I'll get the ability to display ads again?!

Shame the ad-related revenue will be 0, which isn't unfortunately a good thing for the site.

Why is Google themselves not doing things "right" in order to ensure a speedy execution?

A while back, one of the reasons for a low score was that the GPT.js code (required to show ads) had a short expiration time. Dammit. How am I supposed to fix that, Google?
I don't think that's correct for the case that dvdgsng is describing. IIRC, the RAIDZ vdev won't allow the use of any extra space until all of its drives have been replaced with bigger ones.

What you're describing occurs when growing a ZFS pool by adding a new vdev, i.e. extra disks that sit alongside the existing ones.

"Draconian"

You're right about the market capture, though it seems to me the ad market is in a bubble and that massive retargeting and trying to sell people things they already own is going to get old soon.

Good contextualized marketing is less dependant on the profiles and more on what it's being shown right now.
Sorry, it’s just that the original comment is so completely nonfactual that I cannot attribute it to anything other than naïveté or ill motives.

But I should have articulated that in different words.

I do think that the original post should also be warned against political flamewars, because if a post like that goes unreplied, someone might think it’s true without questioning it.
It's an extreme situation. I'd assume that, given more hurdles for women than for men, the women who do make it are likely to be more qualified than men, not less.

When the few women you can find are less qualified, you should ask yourself why. Why are the more qualified women avoiding you? If either your company or your industry had developed a reputation for being toxic and sexist, I can totally see why qualified women would avoid it. Giving more money to women is not going to solve the real problem here. It's also possible that your culture has somehow decided this is not a job for women. I work at a Dutch company that employs plenty of female developers, but all the female developers are from India. I don't think I know even a single female Dutch programmer here, which is weird. Why is this?

Those are the real issues we need to figure out. Simply occasionally throwing money at people, even if it's a lot, is unlikely to fix the structural problems here.

It's a shame too. The language is actually quite nice. They made a lot of decisions that simplify and improve code quality, large code bases, etc.

However a few decisions are huge signals that they didn't really think through them. Error handling and the now-solved package management are two big ones.
To make it easy, the owner should only have to go to the police, with them taking care of everything else. I wouldn't want some old lady coordinate the data exchange between Apple and police. But this makes it hard for Apple to verify the owners consent. Thus I'm fine with them only knowing "... primarily due to ...".

On a second thought, how much detail should Apple get in the first place. If police suspects me of some wrongdoing, I probably wouldn't want any third party like Apple to get details about the cases as well.
All the rich people sending their kids to private school does not fix the problem of poor public schools. If anything, it exacerbates the problem.
If the author had written about how they used to omit alt text on all images and explain to co-workers how it's a waste of energy because it doesn't show up anyway, but then one day reached enlightenment about how some user agents do use it and many people using such agents are visually impaired, and promulgated that everyone should ensure that non-decorative, non-captioned images have alt text, would that also be a form of pity? Are all a11y efforts pitiful?
why not simply lock the screen? it seems like a cumbersome fix for such an easy task
"Which has the side effect of requiring you to input a captcha every time you quickly want to google anything" - this is a common scenario not with AN but in scenarios when Google doesn't have much data about you - a fresh setup, no Google cookies, blocking cookies, Tor browser etc. AN is orthogonal to that - it simply "clicks" ads, bringing Google more money at the expense of advertisers. I use AN on several computers and observe no above-mentioned side effects when Google has enough data on you. When they don't, they will show the captcha. So it's orthogonal to AN.
Or fungi, as in this example. Fungi aren't considered plants because they don't do photosynthesis and are generally more like animals (weak cell walls etc)

> Everyone that speaks English as a first language would pass a C2 level examination very easily.

This is almost exactly equivalent to saying that an average ten year old can read the New Yorker. A ten year old already has their native language down, the rules of grammar and syntax, the accent, the vocabulary, the capacity to discriminate between words with the same denotation but different connotations. There are ten year olds who can profitably read the New Yorker but very few. At least 10% of the adult population will have an absolute score on an IQ test similar to the average ten year old’s.

There are undoubtedly New Yorker articles that a ten year old could completely understand with sufficient exegesis but it’s the US’ premier literary journal and has been for decades. If they haven’t published articles with the depth and complexity of a Supreme Court judgment on some level I will be greatly surprised.

Most people are literally incapable of passing a law degree just as they are of learning calculus. You can write formal logic in English prose instead of using the symbols. The English prose version will be no more comprehensible to an average native English speaker than the one with mathematical symbols.
