I'm not saying we can't concoct a series of words that makes it seem likely, if you suppose that all the evidence that you would otherwise expect is absent because of flimsy reasons. I'm saying that the balance of the evidence suggests that this is not part of any systematic policy, but rather an intermittent failure of a kind that one would expect given a sufficiently long timeline, even in an organization with the best of intentions.

To the extent that there systemic anti-maternity bias within Google, it is certainly below the background rate of society as a whole. That's not a very high bar to clear, so I'll go further to say that Google is actively supportive of parenting and maternity in a way that few other organizations in the United States are. I can say that as someone whose spouse has had two kids there, and as someone whose teammates have had dozens of kids between them during our time working together.

Even with that, failures like these occur, because that's just what people are like, and we have not designed perfect systems to counter this type of behavior. That's not to excuse -- if the story is accurate, figurative heads should roll. And our systems should be improved.

But positing a systematic policy of abuse like this is cynical and doesn't fit with the evidence. Doing so is less like extrapolating a line from a single data point and more like drawing an entire picture from that point.

> Let's say airplanes failed at 100X rates but it was relatively still less number of deaths if people drove that distance by themselves. Would you be able to argue airplane failure rate was still acceptable?

For me? Absolutely. For most of the people I spend time with? Yes. For the majority of the population? No.

This is why bringing numbers and logic to the arena is so important.

Otherwise, we spend billions avoiding 10 deaths while we could avoid other deaths for mere thousands. Much like coal and nuclear. The level of lunacy is hard to deal with for me.

Actually, all drone mistakes are human mistakes. Even if the drone was put together by machine, it was a human process that created it.
Freedom of speech is the social process that works because ideas can be aired and then opposed or supported. Free conversations are where extremes can be moderated. Driving ideas or words underground where they cannot be easily heard or clearly countered is a path to authoritarianism.

That's news to me.

I was thinking trucks get into accidents with public transportation, as well as run over pedestrians and bicyclists.

The fact that it doesn't appear random doesn't mean it isn't.

Getting killed by medical malpractice is also random, yet we don't really fret over our extremely error prone medical system. We don't even argue for removing doctors working 24 hour shifts, while we wouldn't allow a street sweeper to do the same.

I found mapping Caps to Ctrl caused too much RSI.

It's better to use a full size keyboard and use two hands for keyboard combos, e.g. for Ctrl+A use right Ctrl, for Ctrl+N use left Ctrl, for Ctrl+E use right control. Takes a little while to master but it puts much less pressure on your fingers.

Mapping Caps to Esc is a good choice though.

I fully expect most "service delivery companys" to buy their drones from the same Alibaba vendors that share bike ad scooter companies buy from...

Losing them, crashing them, having people steal them or throw them in a lake - those are things to include in your VC funded "operating costs" and to mitigate/offload the risks in your TOS...

(Small print: "The delivery customer shall be wholly and solely responsible for any damages and costs incurred by their delivery and any company equipment used in the completion of the customer's delivery, including but not limited to the drone crashing into a playground full of children." Just like Tesla's abrogation of responsibility when their "autopilot" software is driving the car they sold you...)
Often the zoning codes specify a minimum number of parking lots per housing unit. Some cities are removing the requirement in some areas, like Buffalo: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2017/01/buffalo-is-first-to-r...
I've spent my entire career at the big tech company named in this article, and I've also never seen anything like this happen to anyone I worked with. The closest I got was hearing about such an incident second-hand (a friend in another org had a spouse in a third org who was witness to an incident).

Smaller companies, from what I've heard, have tons of office politics problems. You hear about it less because most small companies have no national importance, and thus do not excite the press the way a large company would.

I would almost be willing to guarantee you that an incident of gender or sex discrimination has happened at one of the companies you've worked at, at least supposing you've been working more than a year or two. Just because you didn't hear about it doesn't mean it didn't happen. These things are generally kept pretty quiet -- splashing them across the headlines is the exception, not the norm.
Sure, and I didn't say that some weren't dying earlier due to things like malnutrition. Even so, if we're considering their diet in isolation, I'm not sure you could make a case that eating real food in smaller quantities rather than garbage in unlimited quantities leads to a lesser "happiness integral".
> I think 40 days is a lot of time to check your email and see 20 emails from your registrar screaming at you to renew...

Apparently it isn't when so many people have it happen to them that there is a profitable business in registering the names right after they expire in order to sell them back to the original owners.

And there are a lot of domains, especially for personal use, that you might not notice disappear right away. The registrar has your old email that you don't check very often, the domain is for a low-traffic site you don't check very often, it takes a while for you to realize it. Meanwhile I can't see any legitimate disadvantage in it at all -- what's the big rush to assign the name to somebody else without the original owner's permission?

Also:

> Some domain extensions do not offer renewal and/or redemption periods or offer them for different lengths of time.
Isn't the speed bottlenecked by the storage speed. Is the data fully loaded into memory first?
Do you realize that the reason the squatter abandoned the domain (instead of keeping it forever) is the $8/year registry fee? My question is why should the squatter pay only $8 per year, and not, say, $50?
This would increase wealth inequality because it’s mostly well-off Americans that own financial assets.

Your argument is not very meaningful because freedom of speech means something very different in the US and in, say, France, and both of these different things can be said to "work well". I, too, agree that freedom of speech is very important, but can have a completely different opinion on whether 8chan should be shut down, because what I mean by freedom of speech is different from what you mean, and I believe neither of us means the freedom to say anything, at any place, in any medium, and in any time or circumstance. We just differ on the degree to which we limit that freedom, or whose freedoms we value.

Any freedom is some compromise. If a society has two people or more, then either one person is allowed to, say, enslave the other, in which case the society isn't totally free, or not, in which case the society also isn't totally free. So there is no such thing as absolute freedom, and whenever we say freedom we actually mean some point on a spectrum. We could argue over what that reasonable point is, but absolute freedom is something that can't exist. So instead of speaking in absolutes, let's acknowledge that we're arguing over a favorite compromise.
I don't follow.

An experiment needs to be repeatable in principle. You don't actually have to re-run it with the exact same specimens or subjects; they can be sampled from some larger population that you're studying (e.g., patients with depression). Nevertheless, you can often do something like a cross-over design that lets you repeatedly test the same patients in different conditions.
I’m curious what your metric of success is?
Plus the expansion of power and side stepping of normal legal process by the executive branch became normalized under the George Bush administration which was well documented by one of his top White House lawyers, which he well documented in the book ‘The Terror Presidency’ and who later started the excellent Lawfare blog.

"Politics-free" inherently means "maintain the status quo". This does well to serve the majority, but tends to go poorly for people who are harmed by that status quo, such as historically underrepresented groups. If I'm a gay person asking to change the company policy to allow parental leave, is that political? Is an Asian person asking coworkers to not use harmful stereotypes political? Is a trans person asking to have their pronouns respected political? It will usually be the majority to decide it's whether it's political, even if they're not affected. And that's where the problem inherently lies. The majority of people want no-politics zones until there's something "political" that affects them.

"Politics-free" also means "the ethical choice is what the higher-ups define", which would be difficult for me to stomach for its own set of reasons.

I worked at AWS and interviewed SDE candidates, and thus had to enter updates into the system that manages the whole hiring process. They have interview notes going back to the company's founding. (FWIW, we could only view prior notes on people we were interviewing, the permissions are quite strict.)

The recruiters are absolutely using the same system, they have to enter all their contacts with candidates in order for the interviewers to schedule an interview. So if you're getting contacts while you've signed an offer, I'd suspect they're just spamming a list and only checking the system if people bite.

I still don’t get it.

I truly believe that until they can show a simple use case that people will use, that this site/technology will continue to live in the darkness.

Please, please put a simple use case on your website. Maybe something like how if I use pod that I can share pictures with friends and they can view them without setting up their own pod - maybe just an account somewhere, or, even better, show how I can have some pictures that are public to the world but others that only my friends can see.

Until then, this is like reading a dictionary - not useful and not very exciting.

Until I see environmental groups/parties embracing options to mitigate the harms of climate change which are politically toxic to them (i.e. Nuclear power) I'm not buying it.

If you work in the cloud for any length of time you learn this is not true. Every system must be able to handle processes being killed unpredictably otherwise you will have problems. Better to deal with it and plan for it than expect a system to have 100% uptime. Because you never have 100% uptime.

The real cost to ACH is fraud, not the electronic processing, per se. The faster a payment settles the easier and more profitable fraud becomes as it makes it easier to cash out and run.

Low fees, fast transfers, high volume/high value--you only get to pick two of the three. (Okay, maybe that doesn't quite work, but you get the idea.)
I don't know the solution, but I think I have an idea of where to research the root causes. And maybe it can be crowdsourced.

From what I understand, these types of violent outbursts come from a feeling of isolationism paired with mental health issues. These people see those around them as being part of "the problem" and flock to online communities that "understand them". These communities become cesspools of reinforcement of their twisted "solutions", and they lose all connection with the real world.

To combat this, we need to get them some connections so they can get over that feeling of isolationism. Unfortunately, it's really hard to help someone who doesn't want help, so we need to be a bit tactful.

This idea isn't really fleshed out, but here are some notes:

- social app where people can identify individuals they are worried about
- people get connected based on mutual concern, and each can share how closely they are related to the individual
- these groups are paired with a certified psychologist who will act as a mentor for the group
- the group finds ways to expand the support group of the target individual and find healthy outlets for that individual
- if the target individual accepts counseling, the support group can help fund it

I'm not a psychologist, so I'd need to discuss it with a few domain experts before trying to put this into production. That being said, there may be room to include gun stores and police into the mix to improve the ability of the community to prevent harm.
Report from W3C Workshop on Web Games
> Due to the monopoly of control on social media right now, companies like Facebook, Twitter, et. al. are the new public spaces.

Just because you want them to be considered "public spaces" doesn't make them so. These are private companies using private funding, nothing public about them. Go to the countless other forums to post your opinions. Make your own Twitter alternative. Nothing is stopping you.

The ideas being promoted on 8chan and the like have lost in the "marketplace of ideas". The only free speech issue here is that you seem to want government intervention to promote hugely unpopular ideas, and force private companies to use their resources to broadcast content against their wishes, clearly violating the first amendment.

> If the WSJ was one of 2 or 3 news publications in the entire world that people got their information from, them choosing to not a run a story or firing a particular journalist would be a big deal.

How many major publications do you see running white supremacist content? How many major publications do you see running anti-vax conspiracy theories? What you describe has been happening for the entirety of media's existence. Ideas largely fall out of favor and people no longer wish to pay the cost of broadcasting them.
Yes, this. People complaining about failed renewals always leave this out. On top of not noticing renewal notices, there’s a 45 day renewal grace period where you can renew the domain after it expires. And even if you miss that, there’s another 30 redemption grace period, where you can pay a fee and have the name restored anyway.

So you’re usually talking at least 2-3 months of not noticing or caring.

Registrars are also required to email domain holders and ask them to update their contact information and email yearly. So you’ve really got no excuse if you lose a domain via expiration.
I agree... For personal projects, if I find myself overthinking something, it's time to just put together something that works.. that usually resolves a bulk of 'what if' questions that were freezing me up in the first place. However, it also means a decent amount of refactoring/or sometimes even junking what is tried out.

Trouble is that this approach rarely works beyond a very small team.

It doesn't seem too unreasonable to plan for requiring the drones spend as much as possible of the route they fly take place over places where the risk of dropping them on a person is small.

Fly them preferentially over roads/railwaylines/rivers/canals/buildings instead of sidewalks/schools/parks.

Require them to be insured for personal and property damage (in much the same way as cars are in many places), have the companies operating them be subject to the same sort of existential threat as Boeing is under right now if they fuck up.

I don't think this should be an industry lead by "move fast and break things" style engineering, but I suspect if could usefully exist with a lower regulatory standard/cost than commercial airlines...
I don’t see that as such a risk. Humans evolved in an environment full of deadly things. Sure enough, people died when they were the unlucky first to try something deadly. We’re talking about static hazards that don’t move suddenly to bite people, play possum, or even have attractive aspects like good smells or colors (other than sometimes being warmer than the surrounding area). People will figure it out and leave these places alone, or they’ll die and the survivors will flea.
>a reasonable set of requirements

OK, so you are unwilling to grant or share social, political, or professional rights with the people that don't meet those requirements, and who happen to have been born outside of your country. Sounds to me like you're intolerant of them, according to the second definition. Do you disagree? Would you like to revise your definition once more so that it more narrowly refers to the right people?

>Not being a citizen of the United States doesn't make anyone a bigot. Conversely, being a citizen of the Unites States also doesn't mean you aren't a bigot. These terms are completely unrelated from each other and I have no idea how you think this tortured logic is supposed to work.

I said nothing along those lines.

>how the people intolerant of intolerance are the REAL intolerant ones

I said nothing of the sort.

>maybe you should reflect on why you feel so personally attacked by the idea that intolerance shouldn't be tolerated?

I know very well why I dislike the idea that some of my countrymen should be suppressed under the law for expressing their genuinely held beliefs and advocating for what they see as their own interests, whether or not some dictionary definition calls their ideas intolerant. I think telling people they can't express their beliefs or advocate for what they see as their own interests is the first step toward a shooting war. If you tell people they can't express their beliefs, you are telling them you can't live peacefully alongside them as countrymen. In the case of many of the people you are calling intolerant, I don't believe that's how it is.

The oom killer already exists on servers and already can kill programs.

If you want to turn off overcommit and have the system power off when it runs out of memory, the kernel allows that.

Whatever knob they add will certainly be configurable, and ubuntu desktop can configure it one way while ubuntu server configures it the other, if it turns out people would prefer that.

In practice, people running servers seem to want oom killers to kick in before the server barfs. One example of this is facebook's oomd [1]. I assure you, they're running that on their servers, not their web-browser-machines.
