This is incredibly strawmanny, but it's probably worth replying to briefly at least.

Something interesting about it is that it is written from a perspective of super-naive, super-optimistic views of capitalism where competition is perfect and actors are always rational.

> Another one: women are paid less than men for the same work. If this were the case, companies would - because they could do an equivalent job to a man for less money - simply hire all women workforces which due to their lower wage bill would outcompete and destroy companies that employed men. Yet - again somewhat inconveniently! - the real world refuses to match the theory.

The most immediate example of how this is a silly oversimplification is that your hypothetical company is restricted to a fraction of the talent pool (the particular fraction will depend on the industry and the demographs of the education/training pipeline for it). Assume a neutral distribution of applicants, and you're still trying to outperform the competition with 50% fewer potential hires. You could be paying less, leading to lower costs, but you can do less if your workforce is half the size, so you probably aren't going to "destroy" everyone else.

For certain industries, and certain demographics, this seems to happen. Agriculture seems to be an example. But it's naive to claim that the lack of, say, an all-female legal firm "destroying" other law firms is an indication that there aren't salary gaps.

Another thing to consider is that in industries where the margins aren't razor-thin, the differences would likely be absorbed - and thus essentially hidden from market effects - in top-end profits instead of being passed on to customers.
An agreement in writing is usually a verbal agreement, so it's not even wrong. Perhaps someone meant to contrast an oral agreement with a written one.
I don’t think anyone is to blame here except the people that gave him money in the first place.
Any "problem" area is promising since you can help to find a solution to it. If you're flexible and problem-solving oriented, you'll always find yourself involved in interesting projects.

One example: before we had a lack of access to information, now we have too much information to deal with and have a lack of tools to sort out unbiased objective information from the rest.

Finding new tools of thought to help society raising its average IQ and EQ might be the highest-leverage activity I can think of.
Perhaps you should have just sent the link to the S3 bucket to a news organization. Things would have handled themselves from there.
I really hope so. There's a huge need for a sea change in eldercare. My spouse and I have spent at least three months of this year helping older relatives, and I worry it'll consume a bigger chunk of next year.

One interesting bright light is that a lot of the startups targeted towards younger people are actually godsends for senior independence -- grocery delivery, meal delivery, ridesharing. Not to mention how much cheaper it is to order assistive devices -- the very same assistive devices for a quarter of the price -- online vs. the local medical device rental places.

I did a lot of therapy. I got with the woman in the mirror a whole lot.

I suggest you start a journal, explore your own past experiences and try to figure out what went wrong and why and why you still blame yourself so much all these years later such that you need to project your fears onto your daughter and can't trust her to have better sense than you had.

Kids doing "bad" things are frequently expressing baggage from the subconscious of their parents that the parents aren't even aware they are hanging on their children.

My children were taught from the age of two "It's your body. You can touch it however you want. Just do it in the bathroom or your bedroom with the door shut."

When my youngest hit puberty and became hard to deal with because he was hormonal, I explained that his problem was not called "my bitch mother." It was called testosterone.

I explained that his system was flooded with hormones and this was why he felt so angry. Knowing that explanation caused him to stop looking for someone to blame his anger on.

When he was too ranty, I would say "Ugh, you sound like some hormone soaked teenager." He would say "I am some hormone soaked teenager."

He would try to tone down the ranty bullshit and I would try to have some patience and tolerance for the fact that it wasn't entirely under his control.

The reason why I ban her from talking to strangers online is because I don't want her to be groomed while she's emotionally vulnerable.

What I'm trying to tell you is that you are currently the person doing the kind of grooming that gets girls into bad situations.

I think girls tend to like older boys because boys tend to lag behind girls in social skills. Girls interested in older boys are often just looking for someone who is a good social and emotional match.

I've had relationships with older men who thought they could control me because of the age difference and I've had relationships with older men who were clear they needed to respect me. Men who thought they could control me got quite the shock. I don't react well at all to efforts to control me.

You are teaching her that a man that loves her and wants what is best for her will seek to control her as a normal and caring part of a healthy relationship instead of teaching her "Anyone trying to exert that kind of control is in the wrong and should be told to stuff it."

We probably need to stop here because I have very strong views that sending naked pics to someone via internet is vastly safer than a lot of other activities and our laws and culture should promote such safe practices rather than vilifying them. We should punish people for sharing such pics with others without her permission, but she should be allowed to show anyone her body via photographs if that's what she wants as a safer alternative to showing them her body in person.

I made my peace with my sexuality a long time ago. That isn't always deemed to be an asset by people when such topics come up.
None of the jobs are explicitly remote - any heuristics for identifying which roles are remote friendly?
Especially since they're the same ones that gave him still MORE money.
Yet any early employees who signed on with compensation in the form of stock grants/options/RSUs have lost out on years of compensation.

Claiming that it's a risk/reward tradeoff is nonsense, as ICs don't have any meaningful say on the path to exercising their "income", and there are huge incentives for founders and VCs to arrange deals like this.

I really hope that people start realizing that this is a core behavior in business and stop letting themselves be screwed by people who aren't actually taking on meaningful risk.

Blind auditions are one technique I push as an alternative to just selecting people based on their attributes. The authors just shredded one study. Given size of HN, it's survey time: what are all the good studies you know of it working, not working, etc?
Thanks. I'll check it out sometime.
For coverage, period. It surely isn’t obligated to be positive and Snap isn’t seeing it before publication. Though presumably they wouldn’t share numbers they knew were bad.
>There is no "big deal". You're taking my facetious use of the word "wizard" the wrong way

And your taking my statement the wrong way. If there really is no big deal then there is really no big deal in me telling you and you actually learning it.

>If Haskell already was popular, it would be an entirely different argument.

If we are here to debate about popularity, then you win buddy. Haskell is not popular. That much is obvious. Every language starts somewhere and I'm here to promote why it should be popular. If you can't buy into that then well there's no point in talking. I get your point. Haskell is exotic and niche. But this is already stupendously obvious so why bring it up. If you don't want to use it for popularity reasons that's a valid point. But that does not discount the technical merits that lend positive credence to why you should use it. 90 percent less bugs then JavaScript is a technical feature that has profound impact on business as does 90 percent less developers.

> if it really makes for such vast increases in its productivity, why aren't those Haskell programmers dominating software development?

JavaScript was a language designed in a week and is largely universally considered to be a terrible language. Why does it dominate the software ecosystem? Because of circumstance and ease of adoption, that's it. Adoption rate isn't an accurate metric on productivity of a language. In fact these studies on productivity have been done before. The language that won was smalltalk.

>At least consider the possibility that there's some insight there that you don't quite grasp yet.

Why don't you tell me what your thinking rather then ask me to consider something that exists only in your mind.

>"Buy the product in order to see why it's so great!" would be a terrible sales pitch, if you catch my drift.

I do catch your drift. And you're right. Unfortunately my arguments don't seem to away you... If arguments don't away you than trying it is logically the only way left. But guess what free trial! Life time access. If you don't like it or if you like it, it's still yours, free!

This part left me scratching my head:

> We have set “replica 0” in our indexes settings

> Now let’s assume that node 3 goes down:

> As expected, all shards from node 3 are moved to node 1 and node 2

No, as there are no shards that can be moved, as number of replicas was set to zero and one node went down. Not sure what they are trying to explain here.

> In order to resolve this issue, we introduced a job which runs each day in order to update the mapping template and create the index for the day of tomorrow, with the right number of shards according to the number of hits our customer received the previous day.

This is a very common use-case(eg. logging), but it's surprising that Elastic has nothing to automate this.
I've had pretty good experiences with handing them Linux machines (usually openSUSE + Xfce). There's an initial adjustment period as they figure out "okay the orange fox replaces the blue e", but quite a few people I know who made that switch are now at least reasonably productive. Chromebooks are another option here that I've seen be pretty successful, and they have the advantage of being absurdly cheap.

The absolute biggest bang for the buck: ad-blockers. Fewer sketchy links to click on, and absolutely nothing to relearn.
It's not Power.

If I followed the links correctly, it's a 1GHz-ish PPC derivative from a shop you for whom processors are a minor part of their product line. The motherboards linked to appear to all top out at 2GB of SoDIMM memory. So maybe "that's cool" but not "that's generally useful" and personally not "I'll spend money on that".

Would you say the same for the many parents that are in jail for abusing their children?

> The government and Google don't go to jail for neglecting me, either.

The government is the one who will put your parents to jail if they neglect you. Most of the arguments that I have seen regarding parents being allowed to spy on their children also apply to the government.

I consulted to an organisation that spent multiple years refusing to allow any form of MFA.

Everyone agreed it was extremely important and some password protected data was very sensitive. But the conversation about authenticator apps always got bogged down with risks about malware on phones. I would get asked "will you stake your career on it never happening?" Of course not. Therefore "for security reasons" we never supported authenticator apps. Of course it was pointed out that people might lose hardware tokens, so they didn't happen either. Because mobile MFA isn't perfect, I had directives to stick with easily phished passwords for years.
Keep in mind NY is massively larger than any of these other places. Per capita, it's actually pretty low.
My understanding is that healthy human eyes are able to detect individual photons.
it appears in this document:

* DataDome is a security company, and gets web traffic in near real-time for clients; a lot of traffic in some cases with very specific numbers given, like daily peak loads.

* DataDome only retains records for 30 days, and the most attention is given to the most recent traffic, to detect attacks

* an ElasticSearch deployment records all of the traffic records downstream from Apache Flink; a new feature added to ES this year, improves the management of ES indexing, and that solved problems that DataDome was having.. things are better! write an engineering blog post !

* re-indexing is done nightly, and implemented in a cloud environment that can handle the (heavy) work to rebuild the indexing.

These numbers are impressive. Earlier criticisms of ES are being addressed, and ES is stable and a cornerstone of the architecture. A company called DataDome is providing real services in near real-time. Congratulations to the team and an interesting read.
For Marx everything is a tendency, in his logic, we go beyond the simple positive statement and into actual historical development, consider for instance he correctly anticipated the fight over wages between the working class and the capitalists (which today precipitates in the creation of many workers' rights laws), which serves to counter-act the tendency, and a greater rate of exploitation (rather than a lower wage) is one of them. The biggest clue against your reading of Wage Labour and Capital is that Marx believed that a rise in productivity tends to a rise in wages.

Marx only identifies the introduction of machinery lowering the wage rate on the idea that with such machinery, workers are more substitutable - but as far as I know he did not account for the rising proportion of people taking up what he described as a "numerically unimportant class", "engineers, mechanics, joiners". In fact, this class of workers has not seen the same reduction or stagnation in the wage rate that Marx saw would happen with low skill workers.

"And precisely taking into account the forms of technical progress which Marx considered - that is the division of labour, capital saving, the mechanization of production and innovations - a fall in the maximum rate of profit can happen only in very particular cases, and no need arises to keep wages at a minimum in order to avoid a fall in the rate of profit."[0]

That is if a hacker can find an endpoint which is erroring, which they shouldn't be able to if you've configured your cdn not to serve errors from the origin in the first place. There's obviously other good reasons not to serve error messages out to the public.

Anyway, if you're an attacker it's easier to DDOS against urls that will 404 as those must go back origin anyway typically and likely won't be safe to cache for long even if the cdn is config'd to do so for 4xx responses. To protect against that your cdn provider probably has some sort of ddos protection feature as well though.
From the article: "The pre-modern belief in the enchantment of the world – modernised in Romanticism, blending scientific rationality with Hopkins’s conviction of God’s worldly grandeur – offers a more humane and generous account of our place in creation, and it provides the most compelling foundation for opposition to capitalism."

The pre-modern world was by definition pre-scientific method. Ex, arguendo, the capitalism component the author rightly critiques, retreating to a pre-Renaissance scientific (and technological) world would be a return to a time of ignorance and delusion.
This makes me wonder if the relative complexity of IRV makes it paradoxically easier to sell. People tuning out the details and deciding based on stories of past elections that could've been different, plus their impressions of the advocates.

I'm very suspicious of these conclusions based on the dataset. Equating number of patents with "productivity" is questionable and leads to a lot of confounders. For example, most patents are filed by large companies like IBM, which filed 2,000 patents on cloud computing in 2018 alone.

Large companies like IBM value patents more than startups and have dedicated teams that help employees make tons of filings. I would bet this is part of why NY-NJ-PA, where IBM is headquartered, does better than you'd expect. And, Boston, which has no very large patent filers, does worse than you'd expect.

The 12% gain in "productivity" from moving maybe more to do with inventors joining companies that encourage them to file more patents than any real increase in their output.

Oh, certainly. But when it comes to advocating for free software (and free hardware to run it on), the end line is nothing less than the end of proprietary software. I'm not worried about reaching the end goal today, just taking a stride. My feeling is that if they can get to a situation where for, say, $200USD (or thereabouts), I can purchase their hardware with free software loaded on it and be relatively confident that it will arrive in working order, then I'm a happy camper. And I'll stand by that even if they can't remain in business after that point; because I will have gotten the machine I paid for.

Until I can exchange currency for goods, it's just vaporware with an ideal attached.
Every browser reimplements the native platform widgets. Even Safari! You have to, because the native platform widgets never support all the features a browser needs (CSS styling, JS event interception, etc etc).

Unfortunately, copying the look and feel of the native platform is an endless treadmill as those platforms evolve, and for obvious reasons Safari is always going to be better at keeping up with that on Mac than Firefox is.

I wonder how capitalism could compare with something like market socialism in cases like this. It seems like it would be easier for employees of companies (and stakeholders outside the company) to have more control over the direction of a business since they would also be shareholders. Adam Neumann types probably wouldn't be able to exist since they are so destructive to corporation and the people depending on the corporation.
Well now it just feels like you're attacking me. I'm not projecting anything onto my daughter. I don't blame myself for anything?

Maybe you're some expert level parent that most other parents just can't be. Maybe it would take me years to gain the parenting skills that you have but by that time I have already pushed my daughter over the edge?

Your one size fits all approach is sad. Why do you feel the need to fix everything by trying to be some sort of perfect parent? Is this because your parents were not perfect?

I would not be certain of the premise in your statement. We do not understand the brain well enough to say whether error correction (which is inherently digital) is utilized. There are some pretty solid clues that some of the processing in the brain is not analog (e.g. the step-like behavior of the activation function of biological neurons).

And coming from the other side: If it turns out that the brain is actually an analog computer without anything that can be rephrased as some form of sloppy noisy approximately-digital error correction, this would be incredibly important discovery, completely changing our understanding of theoretical computer science and complexity theory. P-vs-NP or the eventual creation of quantum computers would pale in comparison to the impact of discovering scalable analog computers.
