You seem to have made some (incorrect) assumptions based on very little text. Let me explain the process in somewhat more detail.

In my last company ($100B, publicly traded, extremely data driven), we interview candidates in a group of 2 (or more, but rarely) on clearly defined criteria to look for signals - in either direction.

During interview each of the interviewer looks for evidence to gather the signal - stronger the better and the purpose of the interview process is for all the interviewers to gather signals (preferably all criteria, preferably strong in either direction, but ofcourse bound by the realities of limited availability of time).

Once the interview process is over each interviewer jots down the signal strength and the related evidence on the scorecard independently and suggests the result of interview.

Later during a calibration, the signals and the evidences are presented to the interviewing peer group (recruiter, hiring managers, interviewers from other rounds), and pretty much disallows for any unconscious bias such as "I don't think Alice would be a good team lead (because she is a woman, and woman are not good managers), or "We should not hire Amit (because he is an Indian, and Indians write poor code").

Again the examples are too in-your-face, but unconscious bias is unconscious, and in the absence of having to defend your perspective to external parties with the support of evidences, which does not happen if there is only a single interviewer.

Think of it as the rubber duck for interview and biases, to keep your own unconscious bias as interviewer in check.
An optimistic interpretation is this one: an enlightened, mutually agreed regulation is the last best hope against a non-enlightened, nationalistic regulation.
You can always learn assembly language later. Putting it in the intro class is a bad idea.
To be honest, I prefer this over the non GDRP-compliant "by the way, we're tracking you, cool?" notices that most sites seem to think is okay these days. Both lead to the site being immediately closed, but at least with the former I didn't "implicitly agree" to anything.
Hi Francesco - happy to reminisce.

Refer the wayback machine, as Mindtouch took down their documentation a while ago. Short of running up a live copy [1] on a VMware instance, the fastest way to get an idea of the features is to review their user & API documentation [2].

The sourceforge site has some screenshots, but I suspect there are very few publicly accessible instances anymore, as the thing was so damned hard to patch (VM images were how they distributed the software). I did find this [3] but you won't get to experience editor / API, only the navigation.

Deki's hierarchy worked - most other products I looked at this was an effort (plugins, extensions, etc) - either way it prevented orphan pages, and reduced the risk of losing pages or people accidentally creating duplicates.

The hierarchy was also reflected in the URL, which is just lovely (compare Sharepoint). Confluence has a hierarchy, but the URL does weird things, and I think there's a global namespace for pages IIRC. Their URL's sometimes go a bit whacky, but haven't worked out why.

> This sounds like you're saying that it's not possible for a Chinese or Japanese person to love their own country more than they love other countries. If so, do you have any evidence that supports this belief?

Do you have evidence to the contrary? Why is the burden to disprove a "love" that has never been proven on me, how would the evidence you're asking for even look like?

Excuse the stereotypes in this observation but it's kinda funny that (some) Americans firmly believe that they have the right to own whatever guns they wish, that if my neighbor doesn't have health insurance that's his problem but woe betide him if he dares live in an ugly home.

Is crime that important to you that you would choose a group of criminals? I would guess that most people would form peaceful pacts with their family, friends, etc.
There probably is also an evolutionary reason for rape to exist, does that mean rape is fine? Why is the present not also part of evolution, why does something that "evolved in the past" have to be protected from criticism in this way?

> What if constructing such an identity is a trait that has been selected for in humans?

First of, what if it isn't true? Do you have any evidence that it's true? Right now the jury is still out on the survival of organized human life, and such "identities" play no small part in that.

"selected for" can be a fancy way to say a lot of things, too. For example, some humans went crazy and started murdering others who weren't crazy in the same fashion. "evolution proved we're stronk, so let's just gang up on this person and vote them into the ground". Oh look, they comments are all grayed out, so that proves something, right? Right? Well, no. Unless you subscribe to a Mein Kampf style "might is right" philoshophy, this argument is as valid as physical violence to decide who is right.
Uhm, anyone else worried about the security here? What if someone were to draw a “parking lot” polygon that resulted in a path to water?
They didn't seem to want to help the ants. They were just completing their study (confirming that the ants weren't able to find an exit on their own instead of eg. chemical residues in the ventilation shaft), and confirming the colony they came from. I fail to see any empathy on the actions taken.

I'm generally not a fan of the EU (or bureaucracies in general) but it seems that with regards to digital legislation and rulings they tend to at least work with good intentions (at least imo). One can argue about the implementation but I generally applaud any afford towards more privacy. They get some credit from me because I consider the lack of software patents (with minor exceptions) one of the biggest European triumphs in recent history.

>IMO they must have some of the best frontend/ui/designer people out there, especially for a company that’s not huge.

They're one of the pioneers of flat UI's, long before e.g. Apple jumped on that train in 2013. Here's a review with screenshots from 2004: https://www.soundonsound.com/reviews/ableton-live-4

Their UI style didn't change that much since then, they got it right from the start. I wish they'd make an OS and laptops/computers etc., as another design oriented alternative to Apple with an European background. They have the design cred to succeed there.
Absolutely, so long as you mean 'in the alleged era of' rather than 'in the market of', of course.

But the fact lots of people still have DC's, or host stuff on their office server, or don't want other organisations outages to be their outages, or be exposed to billing tomfoolery, easy integration with other internal systems without blowing myriad holes through their firewalls, (etc) means there's still a market for on-premises software.

As a data point, "first", "second", "third" world country (the term) means a different thing than you're both trying to convey.

It's a literal grouping of countries by an old system, rather than meaning "economic" or "cultural" backwater.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-world_model

As a 2nd data point, the median income response is about economic power. It's obviously possible to be economically strong whilst at the same time having poor culture.

There seem to be several current examples of this in the world. :/
I see this in the current (local, can't figure out how to see English/US version) terms already.

This is often couched in terms of a comparison with British policing: the argument is that British police are not as afraid, so don't engage in excessive force as often, because there aren't guns around that could be used to kill them.

It's becoming more and more common to see British police with guns at events, central stations, etc (and not just handguns.. they carry MP5s). It's apparently to give the public confidence that terrorists won't attack but in reality it just makes me more scared of being shot by the police.

You'll need to define that if you want a proper response. I suspect you don't really want a proper response and are just looking for a way to shit on people who have bought these devices.

Btw like much gadgets these things are for convenience so an example is when cooking and your hands are covered in food instead of setting a timer with your hands you can do it with your voice. Of course you can always just look at a clock and do it in your head manually. Is this a "meaningful" improvement in my life ... That's up for debated. I'd say the same thing though about mobile phones.

This is exactly my problem. I can't imagine any less than at least 75% of all engineers at Netflix cringing at the current solution regarding shared passwords.

A further gripe is them not having a netflix.com/link system in place for settop boxes, so I need to enter a randomized 30+ character/multi-word phrase or whatever scheme password using a directional remote on my Nvidia Shield. Not often, but when I do it's with seething rage.
I wonder how much of this is actually about Adblockers... vs Googlers just wanting to make some performance numbers go up in aggregate to make their own internal company stats better.

Cos sure as hell no user is waiting for this.
Major difference here being that black people weren’t allowed in because the hosts had unfair predujices, while people with MAGA hats aren’t allowed in because the people wearing them have unfair prejudices.

Subtle but important difference.

Of course, some people might be wearing MAGA hats and be unaware of Trumps demonisation of immigrants, banning Muslims, alleged (and admitted) attacks on women and refusal (initially at least) to condemn the KKK, Nazis and white supremacists, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and assume most of them have an inkling of this.
Keep in mind that Lite version barely has any instruments so you'll have to either use 3rd-party plugins or rely on sampling.

A few month ago I decided to start fresh and removed all pirated DAWs, plugins, purchased Lite version and started learning it in and out. I was surprised how far you can go with just sampling. It was so much fun discovering new sample packs, chopping and remixing songs, trying to make tonal instruments out of weird noises. I've also realized how many popular songs use sampling (for example https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eU5Dn-WaElI). So yeah, setting creative constraints is important ;)

I'm at the point when I'm super at home using Ableton and ready to spend more money on Suit, but holding hopes for black Friday discounts.

People will attribute the success of minecraft to the game itself, but really the fact that it could be scripted with a fairly popular language meant mods, and mods meant a ton of users. That to me is why, if he had programmed this game in a better language or tried to over-engineer it, it would have sucked.
Which is quite ahistorical statement.

He meant what he said, thinking about the accent you get on contemporary tv and in today's cinema. He's wrong, but the view that American English is a better guide to Early Modern English pronunciation than British pronunciation is widespread.

I think there's many holes in the theory, based on a much-too-simple view, but there probably had been some enlightenment to be derived from the theory up till about seventy years ago (I don't mean the old American stage accent - the mid-Atlantic accent - I mean the normal American accent on the street). If you started with RP and then added standard AmE to that, you probably would have felt you made lots of progress to your understanding of EMnE - Americans retain lots of r's and their "a" had probably a more conservative distribution in some sense. Their accent is more strongly influenced by non-rhotic English than rhotic parts of Britain, though.

Nowadays, their "o" has innovated and "a" has innovated in many respects too. Americans have kept reducing distinctions before r, so that they say "shirly" instead of "surely" and no distinction is made between long and short vowels before /r/. The length distinction has weakened further, so that the claim often seen "English doesn't have long-short vowels, but tense-lax vowels", though not accurate, is less unfair now than it would have been a century ago. The rounded vowels have caught up with, and in many cases overtaken, the drift forward started earlier in England. (I'm pretty sure America is planning to outdo Greek with the number of sounds that merge as /i/.)

No language stands still, especially not in a highly mobile empire. Colonial lag applies to the periphery, but America is now surely the centre of English development.
> we don't have special, government-only clothing, boot or weapons factories in the US anymore. If we did, we'd have the same planned economy shortages and overruns that any other such system does.

But now, Western governments have to endure usurious prices or massive budget/time overruns for basic supplies (e.g. Germany has a problem with shoes for soldiers), quality issues (in Germany, G36 rifle, police uniforms in Bavaria and IIRC there were also issues with protection vests).

Planned economy Soviet-style didn't fail because of being what it was, it failed because of a lack of data gathering and processing (demand modeling), as well as the procedural inflexibility to react to short term changes.
I mean, I wouldn’t take him at his word.
That does not mean one should strive to be mean.
I'm not arguing for veganism here, but your reasoning seems very flawed.

If being born and raised for slaughter makes that slaughter justified, then would it be ok to kill and eat humans if they were born and raised for that purpose? This argument doesn't hold water.

It's interesting to note the difference in communication styles when company PR teams respond to requests for comments. Fiat Chrysler and Chevy both responded in predictable marketroid speak, complete with extensive use of passive voice and grand, hand-wavey platitudes "We care committed to blah blah blah" "Quality is of the greatest importance blah blah blah" "blah blah above industry average blah blah blah" "blah blah launching with excellence".

And then there's Tesla: "We fixed issue XYZ, which affected people in exactly this particular way." "We proactively send bulletins and over-the-air fixes." "This particular issue was for this particular year, and has long since been fixed."
You don't get it, most people don't want to mod with c++. Java is more popular, runs everywhere quite easily, and isn't as hard to understand. Imagine an 12 year old trying to mod with this language, they'd be spending more time figuring out how it works than coding a mod.
You'd expect a CS student to at least know what SMTP and IMAP are, even if they don't know how they work.

Relying on gmail horrifies me, because it's a classic political enclosure pattern.
I think Minecraft was the first game with a procedurally generated immense world which was also 100% modifiable. Games with virtually infinite procedural worlds have existed and sparked imagination before (my first was Elite 2 on the Amiga), but you couldn't really interact with them in a way that changed them.

Correct me if you know of any earlier examples.
any amount of running already excludes all the people who can't run. how do they control for that?

I must admit that's not what I expected - I've seen it repeatedly asserted that electric cars are so much simpler than ICE cars that their reliability should be much higher (which does seem reasonable to me). Mind you - its over twenty years since I've had an engine/transmission problem with a car (plenty of other faults - but not with those components) - maybe I've been lucky though.
Not a tesla owner, but AIUI you have to hold the button down on the app while it comes to you - so you'd let go if it looked like it was going in the water.

Deportation is significantly more disruptive to life than having your car impounded. It's also a lifetime punishment, since it nearly always bars you from further re-entry.

Public bookshelf is something that starts to pop up here and there. They are sometimes outdoors, accessible at any time or at the entrance of supermarkets. You take a book that looks interesting, read it and return later. Or just swap with some other book you own. Sometimes there are someone that takes care of the shelf, swapping content from other shelves further away. I often find interesting stuff in our local ones.
Thanks. That resolves the issue. But definitely unfortunate public key retrieval wasn't included into the protocol. After unlocking of course.

It makes sense to me that a company that is heavily invested in an ad-driven internet economy would limit the use of ad-blockers in their very popular browser. They surely weighed the risks of losing some users to better browsers, and probably found that they were by now acceptable.
There is bitchute, there is patreon and 100 others like them.

That raising an animal for slaughter is permitted.

You can't separate those two; the choice doesn't happen between the raising and the slaughter. Farmers don't breed animals and only then consider whether to slaughter them, the choice happens earlier.

So the argument is that letting an animal see the light of day on condition that it'll be slaughtered at the right age is a valid thing to do. (Digressing: my own opinion is that it depends on how the animal gets to spend its time on earth. But that's just my opinion, not really relevant to the argument.)
I'm guessing OSM is only used for routing not for actual navigation and that they filter out clear vandalism using edit criterias and ingestion delays.

What Alan Kay Got Wrong About Objects
You've not really added anything to the discussion here, but seem to be using verbose language in an attempt to convey expertise. For example this:

> You want a steep temperature gradient at the limited chip surface to maximize heat flux.

Is true with both and is really just a convoluted way of saying "if you don't convect heat fast enough, it won't work." Yeah, undeniably true...

> Pumping a liquid with high heat capacity to it steepens the gradient where you need it.

Where you need it is at the surface of the CPU package. Both solutions provide adequate heat capacities at that location, that's why they fundamentally work. One uses heat pipes and fins directly above with fans/air carrying the heat away, the other moves the heat, and does the same elsewhere.

> Cooling the liquid on the other hand can happen over a much larger surface area with shallower gradients and thus lower heat flux. Note that while the heat pipes in air coolers do use convection they do so passively, liquid cooling solutions are active.

This is a basic explanation of how water cooling works, it doesn't really add any specific insight into the problem scope.
This is a bit flame bait-y but I really feel like America is getting a super Galapagos effect compared to the rest of the world. Everything is super different and weird and kinda bad, and nobody seems to notice.

I go to peoples houses in the US sometimes. Some of these houses are multimillion dollar homes. The doors are all terrible. The plumbing is crap. The furniture just feels bad. The cheapest studio apartment in Western Europe or Japan ends up with better infrastructure than the $2M duplex in California

Then you get to grocery stores, and you have to go to the “fancy places” to even get the baseline of quality you see in the rest of the developed world. All the chocolate is bad.

My dad has a really expensive american-made fridge. It sucks. The UX is awful and it basically just looks shiny.

Maybe this is the result of 30 years of wage stagnation. I like to think it’s the result of people not really traveling abroad (reasonable! It’s expensive and far away). People don’t get that so many other places are just nicer and have higher quality things for cheaper.

There’s some quote about how somebody was super poor when growing up but was fine about it because they didn’t realize it. I think about that all the time when looking at some stuff in the US.
