I do understand you're not reading the replies and I'm trying to not make the same mistake that you did, so I'm not responding to the emotional content (which I could, at length, in kind) of your message, but what I think is the meat of your misunderstanding.

I find it odd that you're focussing on making people understand that many in your profession care. It has been my experience that most health care providers… care.

Let's suppose that health care is like any other profession - let's say it's just like programming, something most people understand deeply on here.

We all know programmers who care and programmers who don't care. The best programmers I know are the ones who care, are competent, but also able and willing to have their understanding of the subject matter challenged. They're not married to their craft - they keep the right distance to excel at it.

The worst ones I know are those who care just as much, but are utterly incompetent. The ones who are so deep into it that they literally cannot see any other way. To them, everything is clear and obvious. They're willing, enthusiastic and overjoyed to be working. And they're wrong. There is not a codebase they touch where every hour of work they put in produces ten or twenty times as much work for others, later on.

I think caring about your craft is a force multiplier and it's a necessary one. You don't want a mindless drone who doesn't give a damn about either your health or your codebase, no matter how competent they are. To care means to have a vital part of you engaged in such a way that all that you could bring to the table does get there. But it has to be lightly held and accepting of being challenged.

You care. I get it. But that doesn't mean everybody cares. (Again, really struggling here to not respond in kind with examples of people I have met who clearly did not care.) And even if everybody did care - some people are actually more useless the more they care.

But - it's up to the customers (or patients) to navigate that landscape. There has to be a mutual understanding that all parties involved are just human and can make mistakes. Our understanding of health care moves forward and things that are standard care today had to be invented, sometimes just a few years ago, often replacing things that used to be just as firmly a standard, before. Challenging what is accepted practice should be a healthy part of this interaction.

There's a limit to how many people care. There is a limit to how useful it is that people care. There is a limit to how effective you can be for your patients when you walk around with a chip on your shoulder, thinking that people just don't get how much you care.
What is Seattle doing differently than SF in these issues, other than the lack of wildfires?
I am not the poster you originally responded to and have no formal background in chemistry. That said, On Food And Cooking: The Science And Lore Of The Kitchen by Harold McGee is the prototypical recommendation for food science basics. The following link is a write-up more specific to processed cheese.

Piketty’s main point is that if the return on capital is greater than the return on labor then over time you will get inequality. But like... what would a world in which that is not true look like? What would it even mean for labor to scale? I’ve thought about this a bunch and cannot imagine what such a system would look like or how it would work, except for maybe utopian socialism, which basically isn’t physical.

What kind of system is he proposing in which capital doesn’t create leverage?
The application form is not letting me attach CV and cover letter:

I do not have a file browser apart from bash so an unable to drag and drop. Is the "Attach file" button supposed to open the file-selector? It remains unresponsive when I click it.

Alternatively, is there a way I could directly mail in an application?
The same was true of TLS!
Dont underestimate complexity.

For android you have to ship basically ffmpeg for correct mp4 encoding, on all platforms you have to carry some library on top of classical ui framework to make it just not suck at performance, you have to get your own json parser, yes, since built-in one will be 10x slower, you may be want to carry even low level QUIC library for networking and websockets, etc, etc.

All this also not increasing complexity since built in one stuff makes your code much harder to read/write.
It is odd that the Go team is all in on semantic import paths, but basically everyone else is like “I will blow up the moon if it means I don’t have to use v2 in my import path.
> Seems like you could easily build and maintain a simple chat system with <5 developers

Yes you could. Note however 'simple chat system'.

To build a global messaging app used by hundreds of millions of people is a whole different ball game.

By comparison, before acquisition by Facebook, Whatsapp had a team of ~50 people, and that was considered lean. Based on that, it would seem you're about an order of magnitude off.
Yep. Putting everything directly on the public Internet is 90's style. I remember it well. Whole offices with public IP addresses. No firewall. It's amazing anyone ever considered this sane, but it was a different time.
Sophos still stays squarely in the security space at least, I wouldn’t exactly call them a behemoth.

Now Cisco on the other hand, god damned they have their mitts in everything and most of it’s trash. But nobody got fired for buying Cisco, yet.
I used to think the same way as the author, i.e. if there is already a secured SSH bastion host and IAP-protected internal services, why do we still need VPN?

The answer is of course defense in depth.

I wonder why the author seems to reply to every comments other than this.
There is a big world of business out there.

Look at all the top PLM, ERP, CAD...

And capital equipment.

Many others.
no... it’s 140 option contracts which provides the option for 14000 shares. they were bought for $66 x 100 x 140 = $924,000 and are now worth $14.43 x 100 x 140 = $202,000.
So a glorified facebook quiz is going to tell me if I’ll be a good fit?

I’d say that the likelihood that employers use this to justify racism or sexism (consciously or otherwise) is nearly 100%.

In fairness, the article does address the potentially of monoculture, but I feel like this isn’t going to work out for employers in the way that they hope; in small doses and properly managed, a toxic but talented person can be good for a team.

One of the most talented engineers I’ve worked with for the stereotypical mold of the “hyper-productive douchebag”. He definitely brought the team down somewhat, but I also learned a ton of useful things from him that I probably otherwise wouldn’t have, and the same can be said for the rest of the team I was on. This guy was eventually fired because of his toxicity, and while I understand why my manager did it, I can’t help but feel that the team lost something that day.

These systems probably do a decent job ensuring that you don’t hire jerks, but I don’t know that that is always going to work out in the company’s favor.
> Take personal pronouns, for instance – do they signal team awareness by referring to work that “we” are doing – or do they rely on “I” and “me” a lot?
This is terribly uninformed but I imagine they'll shift from containment to mitigation soon (before it hits the US in a bit way), so quarantining won't be the prevalent strategy.
Most transit systems are taxpayer subsidized as it is.
SV's VTA has never gotten more than 15% of operating costs from fares, with zero going to fixed cost or interest.
That idea is beyond ridiculous.

Even small countries can't get agreement on what the gov't should be doing, so how could possible do that across the globe?

I'm going to guess like most "revolutions" it involves taking care of those "reactionaries" to make sure they don't upset the plan.
Cancer is not an entity, or creature. The whole concept of “fighting the cancer” or “cancer is doing it’s best” is completely misguided. Cancer are damaged cells in a highly acidic body. Chemo is adding even more acid to the body. Cancer appears to spread and grow since all conventional treatments do not understand the very basic concepts of cancer. There is no catalog of hundreds types of cancers. This is a man made industry. Eye cancer is lung cancer is prostate cancer. It’s just the location in which your body was unable to eliminate waste through the lymphatic system. Create a base chemistry and your lymphatic system and kidneys will be able to eliminate. Every person who suspects having “cancer” or really any sort of tumor or cyst should be consuming only fruits high in astringents such as organic grapes and aronia. And absolutely never get a biopsy. The body knows to keep the damaged cell inside a tumor and medical doctors decided the best thing to do was poke holes in it, which then makes it far easier to spread. Insanity...
this is an explanation of how a viral lineage is traced by genetic means.

this also explains how error prone mechanisms can lead to genetic changes that culminate over time into a new viral character.
I don't believe you are capable of accurately assessing whether another person is experiencing fear versus some other emotion. Everyone likes to believe they're good at reading others but hardly anyone can do so reliably.
Almost all apes will eat meat, actually. It's not a primary part of their diet, but it's regular enough that it's been observed pervasively. And they digest it just fine.

It's true that we're weird because we cook it, but the weirdness isn't that it fundamentally changed our diet[1], but because it changed our gut. Our intestines shrunk a lot when we became cooking scavengers, to the point where we actually can't productively eat the diets that our ape ancestors did anymore, including their raw meat consumption.

[1] Though it did change our diet: we went from mostly-plant gatherers to mostly-meat scavengers, which required (or maybe the causality went the other way) that we leave the forest for grasslands where dead animals were larger and easier to find.
v2 is used so that the import path is different. The idea is that by breaking the API, you are basically making a new module instead of improving one (metaphorically of course), and it doesn't make sense for the same module to have the same import path.

If you want to change the import path and also release a new version, then simply changing the import path is enough. No need to put v2.

See it as them releasing a totally new package that just happens to have the same name, if that helps.
From the article:

> Take personal pronouns, for instance – do they signal team awareness by referring to work that “we” are doing – or do they rely on “I” and “me” a lot?

Oh great, now we have to use these weasel words to describe our work in all our emails to our company so that we won't get pegged as non team players by our benevolent evaluation quiz.

Seriously, the main problem here seems to be that management is trying to reduce the cost of evaluating people as, well, people. If you are in any sort of a people management position (I'm not), they are trying to replace you with these ridiculous algorithms, and you should oppose their use in hiring out of self-interest, if not because they actually don't work.
cleaner air

Only if it displaces more pollution than it contributes itself. Running mostly empty trains and buses worsens both congestion and pollution.
if you are tangling msgq-receive with its processing then sure.

however, imho, if you decouple the whole thing i.e. msgq-receive, and its processing via callbacks, then things are harder to get wrong. it might lead to either more elaborate state machine on the receiver side though, but then again imho that is not bad either.
Excellent paper.

I have questions:

1) is turning off telemetry (opt-out) effective against this?
2) How will this be different between licenses? I would be very interested to see what is collectes when you have something like an E5 license and have Defender ATP and AIP turned on (I don't have that currently). I recall it sends a ton of data (>2000k dns requests/hour for an active user just for new connections to MS) perhaps some of that is left on disk? Would file classification with AIP (e.g.: new document/email is created) be logged? Is it fair to assume the Win10 they tested with is not for enterprise?
There might be some self-fulfilling prophecy going on here though...

"Congratulations! Your willingness to have all the complicated things that make up who you are summed up in a numeric score indicates that you'd be a perfect fit with our culture!"

> By assessing language in this way, Srivastava and other proponents of LIWC analysis say they can tell whether someone fits in naturally within a group – but also whether they adapt well over time when the group’s dynamics change. This ability to be plastic, to adapt, is often what organisations should really be looking for, says Srivastava.

This just says that we can use algorithms to reinforce the traits that already exist on a team. That's a different question to whether hiring the candidate will help the company become more inline with what they want to be. It also seems like a great way to encourage ideological, gender, and cultural homogeneity.
I agree with the sentiment you express, but I think there is some nuance of definition that should be clarified here.

Deployed on a wide scale, the filters you describe would indeed constitute systemic racism. However, on an individual basis such practices would be more correctly termed profiling rather than racism since they lack intent. (This depends entirely on your definition of racism, of course, which it turns out can be quite difficult to pin down. [1])

I realize this may seem like splitting hairs since I ultimately agree with your overall point, but often such definitional issues result in a great deal of miscommunication and misunderstanding.

with blocking semantics, you are sure to run into deadlocks in a single-threaded environment pretty easily a -> b -> c -> a.

grpc f.e. has support for blocking requests but it's 'solution' is to spawn a new thread for the request.
So literary criticism is unhealthy now? This level of hair splitting is par per course for any undergrad English class.

Apparently this is evident in American fiddling. I've read that American fiddling technique is similar to Baroque violin playing.
Not sure what type of sites you're building on the web, but building nontrivial feature-rich web applications does not scale well with vanilla JS. Frameworks like React and Angular give you the power to manage state, respond to state updates with performant and predictable UI rerendering, and share components and logic in an opinionated way that buys engineering teams consistency and speed of development. Maybe the 10% of companies that aren't deterred by this opinion simply don't have websites that necessitate a "web application," but having an applicant say this would personally have me looking the other way 100% of the time.
I feel like we are stuck in a loop.
Perhaps we need question whether or not it still makes sense to transport food and drink in small, individual containers.
One solution might be to transport in bulk. You could take your own bottles to the supermarket that are whatever shape and material you desire and fill them up.

Huh, so I did. Many apologies.

(The OED's etymology for "car", quoted above, seems to disprove that too, but much less drastically: the two are closely related.)

I wonder if as a company transitions to remote if many employees take advantage and work few hours vs a company that was already remote.
Question I desperately want the answer to: if memories are encoded (nature not nurture), then how far back can we remember? And where is this intuition derived from?

For example, we can almost imagine what memories are shared to us from 3-4 generations back, and assumably that pattern continues. Does it end 20k years ago (presumably not), are there intuitions that are wiped out over millennia, or do we have intuitions that date back to our first multicellular / higher order processing days?

I've been programming over a decade, starting with web programming when I was just 12. Since then I have been involved in 6 startups, 2 of which ended in successful acquisitions. From these startups I've gained significant experience wearing many hats and ensuring the most important features not only get put on top of the stack but also get done correctly. Most recently I've been involved in full-stack developer roles, but I am not afraid to wear whatever hat needs to be worn.
I'm primarily seeking a full-time remote position with a small to medium-size company. I am also open to part-time remote contract work.

1. Surely this is the apps' faults for not paginating queries on your Photos library correctly? (Unless it's a real Photos app bug, which I suppose is possible although unlikely)

2. Yikes, I guess with 140k photos putting your library on an external drive before wiping and then copying the library back to your Mac would also take a long time, but it shouldn't take a full month.
I agree that the MVC question is a boring one but I kind of like life cycle request one. It’s trivial enough that you can answer it in a couple of minutes and gives a pretty good idea if you have the slightest clue as to what you are talking about. I’ve worked with people who look great on paper, you’d think they were Senior material based on exp, etc. But they couldn’t answer that question even with google.
If FB Messenger beat Whatsapp they wouldn’t have had to buy it.
I'm not 100% convinced that "cultural fit" at its core isn't just another way of saying:

"angsty college grads who haven't fully learned how to accept themselves as individuals think talking to {{other demographic|old people, microsoft engineer, perl programmer, etc...}} is gross".

Or something along those lines (feel free to fill in your favorite flavor above).

In my experience there is almost zero NEED for my co-workers to resemble anything I like or enjoy. I can't say that I would PREFER this, but if my team consisted of a bunch of racist / bigoted purple martians, as long as our work days were 100% focused on our work, and my co-workers were all capable, dedicated, and good communicators, then what's the problem?

I'm curious if Mr. Hunt has ever been through either side of a diligence process.

Everything in his list sounds like what you need to check the audit and compliance boxes at any "real" company. I've been through a dozen audits from prospective _customers_ that are worse than his description, even apart from our internal audits, so if someone was going to buy a company I'd expect essentially a superset of BS from all of those different inquiries. You sometimes answer the audit optimistically, then use that as your framework to write the policies and figure out how you're going to implement them before you submit your response. "How do you sanitize media for disposal?" "Oh shit, I guess we need a document that says how we dispose of media." - problem solved!

Yeah, it's rough. KPMG should have done their own diligence to see that he wasn't serious - if you're not willing to jump through some of those hoops then you're not ready for a big-boy company.

If you are a large event, the hope is they purchased a policy for show stoppage events and it covers public health events like this. It won’t make you completely whole but should limit losses on contract commitments to venues, hotels, f&b, etc.

I have a very similar story through a Canadian rather than an Australian lens.

I'm a Canadian that says "Eh". But I wasn't born in Canada, and I didn't grow up saying it, and none of my friends when I moved here said "Eh."

When I'm around Americans, they KILL themselves laughing whenever I say Eh. I am the epitome of a Canadian stereotype to them.

But...I finish sentences with "Eh" because Homer Simpson finishes his sentences with "Eh", and I grew up obsessed with The Simpsons..

But...Homer Simpson only says "Eh" because Dan Castellaneta's father says "Eh". Dan Castellaneta's father is Canadian.

We don't know the price, meaning how much was actually raised. All we know is that the capital raised divided by % of new shares issued is equal to $2.25B.
