>"carrying out a diversity exercise that is explicitly recommended by organizations who specialize in this field."

It doesn't matter that the exercise is recommended or designed by specialists in the "field" when the entire "field" is wrong-headed and backwards in the first place.

The field of diversity studies (grievance studies) serves only to divide and exacerbate the very problems it identifies while ignoring actual solutions.

The justification for the field and its methods consists of a set of assumptions that are intently racist, sexist and divisive. This is bad enough, but then the internal logic guiding the field, built upon these initial assumptions, is weak at best.

Ultimately the diversity mafia is able to throw its weight around unimpeded because people are afraid that if they criticize it or its methods they will be slandered as racist or sexist. It is driven by the clear benefits it gives to people who can claim membership in certain classes, so of course they have a clear incentive to endorse and spread its divisive and unproductive rhetoric and methods.
It's true that companies also do toxic things sometimes, but I feel you're critically missing the point here. Effectiveness is not the appropriate metric. You generally should be reasonable even if it's not effective at getting your way.

That's ... kinda the point. You have a gigantic blind spot which, tautologically, you can't see. Traveling significant distances under your own power, carrying what you can and living off the land otherwise, being forced to learn how food comes from the earth, being forced to exercise your memory, would do you good in revealing & eliminating that blind spot.

It would be interesting to see what levels of THCP (and CBDP) are in commercial cannabis. And they didn't do the in vivo work with CBDP, which may be more tolerable to medical users since we try to avoid intoxicating compounds in medicine... yet we still have many pharmaceuticals that can get you high (e.g. opioids).

I am sure (I hope) we will see follow up studies with a variety of in vivo work.
The solution presumably requires you to move the receivers around while measuring the signal strength, or am I missing something? Could measuring Round Trip Time for packets be used for easier calculation, or would they be too small to be useful?
Anecdotal, graduated 1 year ago and have many new-grad friends looking for work now:

Airbnb is probably the most desirable non-fintech company, Uber and Lyft were in this category too before their IPOs.

Of megacorps, Facebook generally has the best new grad comp and benefits, and is therefore most desirable. Google is a close-ish second, Microsoft and Amazon are far behind due to lower comp and cultural issues (In Amazon’s case, this means terrible work/life balance, in Microsoft’s, perception that it’s boring due to enterprise culture and office locations in particularly bland suburbs).

Apple and Netflix aren’t really on the new-grad radar because they hire mostly experienced engineers.
My guess is that WhatsApp is continuously doing scans of its binaries, memory and other states that should be constant, and phones home with those signatures.

When the phone homes are unexpected, a lot more than the signatures start getting phoned home for further investigation.

Add some other constraints on how big the binary/memory space can be in the sandbox and an attacker would have trouble running a shadow copy to provide the right responses.

Maybe some timing checks too where the system denies anything that starts taking longer than it should and phones home with it.

All just a thought though.
I think the crisis of meaning is happening because existing philosophies do not provide enough value anymore in today's world. I believe a non-reductionist and non-dualistic worldview can be the solution. We must see that the world is not a "war of all men against all men" as Hobbes describes in the Leviathan, and realize we are all interdependent beings that exist as expressions of relationships, which we form together.
It doesn't have everything, but it does have a lot (way more than it did not long ago) which can nicely augment other mapping tools.
The vast majority of drugs don't make it through phase 3. Most will fail by the end of phase 2. If we trumpeted every time a prospective intervention underwent the earliest phases of study... well, I guess we'd have what we have had for years. Constant claims of miracle drugs on the way, with almost no subsequent impact on human lives.

If you find the endless hype a source of optimism and hope, then ... well, I guess I /am/ glad you have another source of optimism and hope. I don't share it, though.
Accountability? Check and balances? Potential to abuse of power and position? Justice and "hide the true source of the evidence in court"?

Ask HN: Project Management for Hardware Companies
I am a software engineer, but I've recently joined a hardware startup and we're struggling to do project management across the whole project (hardware, firmware, client PC/cloud stack). I understand the argument against waterfall, but the agile tools seem to have a steep impedance mismatch against the way hardware is designed vs software. In hardware, product and board requirements are set in stone at the beginning, and schedule is determined off of external dates like when certain boards arrive.

At any point in time we have many boards in different stages of design, each with a well defined workflow (design, build, bringup, test, etc). If an error is encountered during the process, everything that depends on that board is delayed, and the schedule needs to reflect that.

I'm having trouble finding the right tools to visualize and plan these dependencies, most of the tools I've used are all software-focused, involving boards and swimlanes and other agile-oriented nonsense that doesn't map particularly well to board design.

Is there a tool that can generate waterfall dependency-style charts (gantt?) while still providing a full featured issue/bug-tracking interface? I don't mind doing an agile-like process, but the tools need to provide me with a high-level picture of things like:

1) When does this board come in?
2) How does this affect schedule?

I trialed Jira+some gantt plugins, clubhouse, and proggio, and none of them seem to have both a good issue tracking interface, and a top-down planning tool.
True. But it's a start. PET scanning is VERY expensive: I would venture that the paucity of data points stems from that limitation.
> Microsoft does far worse things than Google

*citation needed.

Taking Microsoft's side is not something I do lightly, but the amount of fuckups from Google doesn't even come close to what Microsoft did. From the privacy violations perspective which you brought up, Google has a wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy_concerns_regarding_Goo...

Not to mention what Google is currently doing to the web with the whole Chrome and AMP bullshit.

> Even for something like deprecating services, Microsoft shut down their ebook store, where users had paid for the books

Microsoft does a damn good job at deprecating services. The ebooks have been refunded. As an enterprise consumer, I would choose Microsoft over Google every day of the year. They really do bend over backwards to keep older services/OSs alive. And that's where you need a lot of trust. Trust is NOT something I think about when I think about Google. It's funny you bring this up, when Google deprecates services like there's no tomorrow. And badly for that matter.
> I don't think it's about expression in and of itself. Most tech activists agree that some viewpoints are hurtful or toxic and shouldn't be expressed.

It still is imo. You cannot really gain your 5 minutes of fame (rather than infamy) by spewing hurtful or toxic viewpoints. Self-expression, in this case, imo feels more like self-promotion, which is exactly what narcissism is all about.

If the "activist" in the OP was speaking about some other topic that wasn't as highly publicized and important as climate change, no one would have batted an eye if they got fired for breaking those same rules. But since it is regarding climate change, it can be easily twisted as big bad tech giant amazon firing the good small activist for doing the brave act of speaking out for the climate change mitigation. Whole nine yards with the martyr complex added in the mix.
That seems like a good idea on the surface, but there is value in things like philosophy that have lasted the test of time[1]. They've proven a level of robustness. Also if you just take a sample from a relatively short period, like 2 decades, there's danger of it reflecting current fashions[2].

async/await itself is "subtly duck typed" in most of the .NET compilers along with other bits of compiler work (among other examples IEnumerable/IEnumerable<T> in C#'s foreach is also subtly duck typed and not dependent on the specific BCL interfaces, though almost no one would use bespoke interfaces), which is how .NET Core was relatively easily able to add ValueTask/ValueTask<T> and a lot of .NET Core APIs have been slowly migrating to ValueTask/ValueTask<T> without much compatibility breaking trouble.
No. For phase 1, it's generally sufficient to show that few or no people had life-threatening adverse effects, that none of the life threatening effects were plausibly related to the drug, and there were no meaningful hiccups in CNS, pulmonary, or cardiac function.

In this case, they went for a placebo set-up because they were also trying to grab a little data to show whether 25 mg was significantly distinct from 10mg. The comparison to placebo was not needed, but is winning them a little extra publicity.
So there’s no additional legal worry here..

Here's an interesting new series addressing exactly the "crisis of meaning" issue you mention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54l8_ewcOlY

I've only gotten through the first lecture—and it does take him ~20 minutes to lay out something like the full plan for the lecture series, but he also paints a pretty interesting picture by the time he gets to that point.

David Chapman has also been writing on this subject, apparently from a somewhat related angle, for years: https://meaningness.com/

The two of them try reconciling their approaches here: https://letter.wiki/conversation/209
While it's not mature yet, I started something I had in my mind during a long time, I called it atbswp (https://github.com/rmpr/atbswp), it basically allows you to record your mouse and keyboard moves and reproduce them at will. There's something similar called tinytask unfortunately it's neither multiplatform nor opensource. Back in time I used it to play automatically some games (asphalt, plant vs zombies, ...) but I think the usage can go far beyond that, for example you can use it to test software with a GUI, to present a demo at a conference, ...
It's kinda usable but I need to polish things up (settings , language, ...)
Reviving Antimonopoly Traditions for the Era of Big Tech
In this case, we use just straight VPC peering with a full mesh of all our regions. We may eventually migrate to being built on our VPN based mesh (we do that in other places)

Bandwidth is certainly a concern and that is one of the nice bits about Pulsar is not everything is replicated. You mark a namespace by adding additional clusters it should replicate to. We don't expect to replicate everything, just the things teams care about.

When we did this, Transit Gateway was just within the same region. At re:invent they announce the cross region transit gateway which we will look at moving to as well, but for now, it is just a full mesh of VPC peers, which for 8 regions isn't bad... but certainly gets worse with each new region we need to add.

For exposing the service into other VPCs in the same region we use private-link endpoints as to avoid needing to do even more peering.
> Why?

Because there are no studies proving it has any benefit? Because, from clinical anecdote (i.e. stories from my doctor friends) CBD alone seems to work perfectly as a treatment for every problem where "try medical marijuana" is the current line on the treatment flowchart?

I mean, admittedly, I'm not friends with every kind of doctor. I don't know whether THC has any added benefit in cancer treatment, for example. That's why I'm not denying the benefits of THC; I'm just skeptical of them. I'd like to see some supporting evidence!

> Some medication, in pill form, is highly toxic.. see opiates which is a common alternative to thc for pain relief.

Opiates in pills are no more or less toxic in pill form than in their "native" form (e.g. the opium poppy.) There are even animal nerve toxins that are classified as opiates. It is the molecule itself—and the dose—that makes something toxic, not the delivery mechanism.

The point of putting something in a pill—or even more simply, of extracting and distilling an active ingredient into an essence—is to make the dose measurable and to control for any unknown variables (the other stuff besides the active ingredient), so that dosing can be done precisely.

Without first isolating and measuring the active ingredient(s), there is no way to, for example, make "extended release" or "immediate relief" forms of medical marijuana, because you both don't know how much THC+CBD is entering your body, and (with edibles or anything besides smoking) don't even control how quickly your own metabolism takes up the active ingredient from the plant matter.

True. I feel like all the inconvenience that comes with VR would be justifiable, if it could actually create true immersion. But it can't and never will.
Basic problems of VR aren't solvable. Just to fix motion sickness once and for all, there would have to be a device that fucks with the vestibular system or something that moves the player in the real world at close the velocity that the player is moving in the virtual world (Like a giant crane or something).I really can only see VR working as like a public thing where you go with friends in your free time similar to a cinema. Maybe "VR cafes" could be a thing in the future, like those gaming cafes are in south Korea. For home consumers VR-gaming will always stay just a fun addition to regular gaming, as they will never be able to afford the hardware that can make a VR experience not suck. I think it would be a huge success already if studios would make there regular games naively playable in VR. I think it says a lot about VR software that beat sabers is still the most popular VR game although it does not even try to use the full potential that VR truly has. Could as well be a mediocre Wii game.
For myself cannabis literally has the opposite effects -- increases inflammation and pain (I have chronic back pain). So I think it's right to be skeptical because the compounds themselves have extremely variable results.

I have no idea how you think a metropolitan centre of millions people, even if all trained in wilderness survival skills, would be able to sustain themselves. They couldn't - there's no way you could feed everyone in a major city by foraging or by killing all the rats or finding wild mushrooms. And I guess you could try to navigate out of city by foot, but you're hoping you're going to be able to outrun the general diaspora.

You're correct. Pigs are very similar to humans anatomically, and biochemically mammals share a LOT of genetics, so its much easier for mutations to lead to species hopping pathogens.
This is one reason why Eurasian cultures dominated historically speaking: they'd lived with livestock for much longer and evolution crafted those human populations to have numerous immunities that isolated, non livestock holding communities didnt have.
