I want to ask a silly question. I know there are no such things as silly questions according to some people. In any case:

What happens if great companies do not hire for humility as a trait?

Is it truly as simple as: too many unkind people get into the company?

Or could one be more cynical and say: it's easier to not have humble people negotiate tough salaries?

Or is it something completely different?

I honestly don't know and have no reference.

There are also plugins for graphviz, which is a more structured language.

Since graphviz is old, there are also command line tools to render the output.

> The ruling CCP is diametrically opposed to most Western political

Communism is a western political system...

> and social values

They aren't a western nation. Why should they adopt "western social values"? I hope the world wakes up to the sneaky neocolonial war cry - "western values" and stomps it out of existence before it gets out of hand.

How about american values for americans, chinese values for chinese, european values for europeans, muslim values for muslims, etc. How about people live under the values they want rather than being forced to adopt an alien and unamerican idea like "western values".

> and itself feels very threatened by democracy and personal liberty.

What pathetic nonsense. They feel threatened by western aggression. Stop with the propaganda bullshit. They aren't threatend by "democracy" and "personal liberty". They are threatened by people hiding behind "democracy" and "personal liberty" to attack and destabilize them.

> As such it is working very hard to destabilize the West and expand it's hard and soft power to export its authoritarian model around the world.

It's not china forcing people to adopt their "values". It's the west forcing china and the rest of the world to adopt our "values".

It's not china invading and destabilizing most of the world. It's the west that's doing so.

> No, we will do everything we can to maintain it because it absolutely has real value that benefits all Americans.

The American empire didn't benefit all americans. The american nation did. Nations exist to benefit the people, empires exist to benefit the international elites. The american empire benefited the wealthy international bankers and industrialists. And all empires eventually crumble because money is used for useless wars rather than investing at home. This is a fact of history.

The project has an embed mode, which was used in this case.

It needs a sequence embed, but basically you load draw in embed mode within an iFrame, do a handshake using postMessage, then load and save is direct between parent and frame, again using postMessage.

The idea is to be able to embed into hosts that are capable of storing the diagram data, without any code changes to draw. It can embed either the main site (which was renamed to app.diagrams.net), or a locally hosted/internally packaged version of the project.

Additional information on the embed format:

Indonesia. The blocklist mostly contains porn sites, but the government often use it to force foreign companies to comply with their requests (e.g. putting whatsapp on the block list until they comply with the new censorship rule, etc), and also used to censor any websites that offend the government (mostly communist and anti-islamist sites). Even websites that remotely contains nsfw contents end up getting blocked. Reddit and Vimeo is still blocked, tumblr was blocked (until they banned nsfw content recently), and most surprisingly, readthedocs.org was blocked for quite a while before (I'm not even sure why it was blocked in the first place).

The block list database can be accessed here, you can query a domain to see if they're blocked in Indonesia: https://trustpositif.kominfo.go.id/
And they do, even if it's not a conscious decision. Most large scale experiments see bounce rate increase and revenue decrease with page load time. More load time because "it's easier to develop this way and it saves developer time, which is expensive" means more bounces and less sales.

Of course, that only matters at scale. If your site never takes off, optimizing for user experience (instead of developer experience) wouldn't have paid off. On the other hand, maybe putting your users second lowers the chance of it being well received.

PACKAGING

I had to shout it! Sorry, HN guidelines.

Intel makes chips in USA fabs, then sends them abroad, mostly to Asia, to be packaged. Same for anyone else making chips in the USA.

I'm retired now but I highly doubt this has changed recently. It's been going on since the 1970s if not earlier. There are probably a few chips made for the US military that are packaged domestically. But over 99% are sent overseas.

Edit: To take it further, I bet that nowadays over 90% of everything related to electronics manufacturing has moved overseas. It used to be that you could fabricate PCBs domestically. You could have them stuffed with chips and soldered domestically. But now very little volume capability exists for that here. It's all "offshore", because MBAs decided that would be cheaper.

It sounds like you have personal experience with pregnancy. Given that, I'm surprised that you'd say this as pregnancy is no picnic, From observing how it was for my wife and how it _permanently_ changed her body and health, I would take a years of regular work any day over pregnancy.

But speaking anecdotally as an ex-pat dane, the people I know would look at it the opposite way: it might stop them from _NOT_ having children, but it would never make them have children they wouldn't have considered already. I'm sure there are exceptions but are they statistically significant?

The benefit to the society should be obvious.

The entire world now has single points of failure because of this kind of specialization. Sure, it makes certain classes lots of money but it forces others into poverty and when bad things happen suddenly your supply for critical goods is cut off. To say nothing of the geopolitical consequences here, where letting so much of high tech manufacturing accrue in one country presents tremendous risk if anything goes sideways.

Wholeheartedly agree. Humans of all stripes seem to have this need to place blame on others' failings on the person being "at fault" yet somehow their own mishaps are "bad luck." It's like the comment threads underneath lapses in security or getting phished. "Oh well, IIiiiiii wouldn't have fallen for that," until they inevitably do.

If humans were always perfectly capable of never screwing up, the entire liability insurance market would cease to exist.

> buying an index fund or Amazon stock and having a few irrelevant proxy votes on decisions already made, is the definition of "stashing" it away with zero utility.

that's absolutely not true.

The buying stocks (or indirectly via index funds) must mean somebody else is selling.

The person who sold the stocks will put the money obtained from the sale to use somewhere else. It moves capital just like any other economic transaction.

It may be that the seller will "just" buy another stock - and it looks like nothing's changed. But eventually a seller down the chain is either going to invest in something other than stocks (e.g., a bond), buy new IPO stocks, or to consume the money (e.g., retiree selling stocks to fund their living cost).

The problem with banks doing loaning is that they have to be conservative. They cannot loan out money that might not return - since they must return their depositor's money.

Investors, on the other hand, do not have this conservatism (for the right price). That's why stocks exist, and that's why bonds exist (for those willing to risk less than stocks).
Recycling collection companies will pay them to take the old PET off their hands.
If you allow me to complement your breakdown:

- bonds: Definitely not 0% interest rate, definitely better than cash. You can expect around 1.5% in the US for IG bonds. This is all relative to the default risk of course, the stronger your central bank, the less risky are the bonds, the less interests you earn.

- Real estate: you don't have to own it directly. This exposes yourself to a huge idiosyncratic risk. You can easily get real estate exposure while maintaining diversification and liquidity through REITs, which are trendy since at least 10 years.

There's a whole lot of other investments if you dare to look into it.
You can play with currencies (FX, IRS) if you have macroeconomic views.
You can play with debts (CLO, CDS) if you have views on the corporate debt market, etc.
The US has no meaningful consumer protections to give up. Abusive agreements don't make things appreciably worse.
That's a very interesting graph, but I think it's not a complete story. Here's another graph: https://www.endcoronavirus.org/countries

In particular, compare Sweden and the US with other countries (Norway, perhaps, or South Korea).

Given the lack of correlation between government lockdown policy and public transit ridership, there's a couple of conclusions you could draw. One, as the author does, is that government lockdown policy doesn't effect behavior. Another, based on the second graph, is that none of the four cities the author shows had a meaningful government-mandated lockdown - that yes, as the author says, people didn't change behavior on their own, but that we can't conclude that government has no leverage here because none of those cities tried very hard. (As an NYC resident I can tell you that the government is sitting quite firmly in the unfortunate valley between leaving people alone and actually having an effect: there's a lot of people out of work and enough stories of nonsensical policing like throwing people in a crowded jail for not social distancing, but there are a lot of people, including our mayor himself, who are out and about in public that it isn't obviously helping with R₀.) Another possible one is that public transit ridership is a limited subset of behavior and changes for its own reasons (it's hard to maintain social distance and avoid touching metallic surfaces on a subway train) that don't necessarily track whether people are staying home or whether they're going around by means other than public transit.

While I do agree with the author that the model of the government having a magic lever is simplistic, I also don't think it follows that the government has no leverage. There are a number of policies well within the powers of government, from unemployment eligibility to literally giving out food, that I'd think have a much more effective influence on whether people stay home than whether they're told to stay home. (I suspect the author will agree with me that it's better to use government levers other than "we'll send armed men after you if you don't," if you have any.) The lockdown protests from people who want to return to work (to be distinguished from the protests from people who want others to return to working for them) are from people who need to work to survive and don't have remote work options - there are other things the government could do to meet the underlying demands besides saying, okay, you can go to work. In general, it's not that they want to leave their house, it's that they have to.

And while I do agree with the author that it's the people and not the government who make or break the lockdown (see also Hong Kong, where the citizenry realized that their government wasn't taking the problem seriously, for a particularly good example), I don't really think that ends the debate at all. I think the author is pretty wrong about whether it's safe to send kids back to school, for instance!

You asked someone for examples. They gave them to you. You decried those examples as handwavy and not specific (which they clearly were not). I countered that they had been specific and not handwavy, explained why, and pointed out that moreover this ground had already been covered in the article and that the article concurred with those examples.

Your reply to me misses the point that I was making and argues against a point I wasn't making – which strikingly is the very thing that prompted me to counter your top-level post.
I don't think it's as simple as saying "the state space explodes, and that's bad".

When you say state space, I think about what is dynamically changing. If you can select one of two design decisions e.g. at compile time then, yes, your state space is bigger, but you don't have to reason about the whole state space jointly. The decision isn't changing at run time.
If I recall correctly, from the people that get put on ventilators only half of them live.

Secondly, why is nobody ever talking about the amount of deaths, starvation, homelessness and impoverishment that will result from economic damage of general quarantine. This always gets completely ignored and negated as if it doesn't exist.

You can't say that quarantine saves lives unless you quantify how many people are killed and are going to be killed by it.

My argument is that this by far will kill, starve and impoverish way more people than whatever number of people will get saved by having access to a ventilator.

There are ways to understand why things went wrong and how to prevent them in the future, without assigning blame. Blameless post-mortem.

I'm a reasonable man, I find accountability a positive virtue. I'm also not a foolish one, for I understand trying to assign blame for an act of god is definitely NOT normal. And I understand the "blameless post-mortem" is a tech-industry standard well understood, so I am surprised to find the "blame game" card being played here. Consider:

Every time a hurricane rolls off the coast of west Africa and trashes the Eastern seaboard, you don't see the US blaming west Africa.

You don't see Missouri trying to pin the Joplin tornado onto neighboring Kansas/Oklahoma in order to recoup billions of dollars of damages and loss of human life. You DO get a technical NIST report that is blameless (I have worked with this particular data) [0].

When an earthquake originates in one country but flattens the city in a neighboring country, you don't see one sue the other.

When a typhoon hits SE Asia, they aren't trying to readily assign blame.

What can be assigned blame is a nation's reaction to this force majeure. At that point the people should be holding their own leaders accountable, as the assumption should always be that the neighbors are incompetent, and our own leaders are the best. That is inconvenient for the current President precisely because he politicized the disease. If he had not politicized it, his followers would be more amenable for blameless post-mortems (literal post-mortems, let's remember people are dying). Unfortunately his response was lackluster, and rather than taking accountability (you know, the virtue I agreed w/ y'all on at the beginning), he would rather shift blame. But this implies that he was relying on China to do its part. Which then begs the question: If the US President wants to blame China, why was he sitting back and relying on China on good faith when no other nation was?

To summarize why I don't believe the bullshit that is "assigning blame" for SARS-Cov-2:

- Accountability is a virtue

- Blameless postmortem is a huge cross-industry technical standard, so abandoning that is immediately suspect

- US President politicized the disease; due to this he has political motivations to avoid the virtue of accountability and how he guided the US response (making the act of "blaming" even more suspect as being a political reaction)

- Doublethink of "Did the US President really rely on the Chinese response? Blame them, not him!" (only enabled because of politicization)

There are ways to understand why things went wrong and how to prevent them in the future, without assigning blame. Blameless post-mortem. But that's now been politicized.

1st you learn, then you copy and lastly, you create.

What you do is decide what you want to learn and learn while copying something that you find good. If you can't decide then you pick at random. Do that over and over until you feel comfortable with what you are doing. Once you are comfortable you slowly start to be creative. After many years of creating with an eye towards mastering. You will master. You'll need someone to critic you. There is no shortcut. You have to follow the process.
