I was also told the following rationale: If elections are decided entirely by popular vote, then candidates are incentivized to campaign in population centers, and have no incentive to ever visit sparsely populated states. (Like, bringing your margin from 70% to 85% of 4 million people is worth more than going from 0% to 100% of 400k people.)
BitWig audio is a Java UI and is quite competitive with the native DAWs.
Ok, here is my objection. I'm saying that it won't help people at all. It is an indulgence to make Microsoft feel like they are doing something positive when it will not materially improve lives.

It would be fine if it just made them feel good as people's mental health is an important thing that too many ignore. But, this will suck attention away from people who are actually doing things that will help people. The world has only so much time to pay attention, and that time is valuable. Microsoft is just adding to the noise.

They are bringing homemade cupcakes to a food bank and making the national news.

Twitter de-emphasized one because it violated their policy by advocating violence, and added a fact check to another that was blatantly and verifiably false. Neither was removed completely. Zuckerberg specifically said Facebook would do nothing of the sort.

> Wang similarly told his supervising UCSF professor that he had duplicated some of the work of that professor at the lab in China. Some of the work of the UCSF lab was funded by grants from the United States Department of Health and Human Services, National Institutes of Health (NIH). Wang also wiped his personal phone of WeChat messaging content earlier the morning he arrived at LAX.

“Man child” is the label you’ll hear thrown around for that.
Because this isn't a simple binary; not every good-looking 25 year-old is going to find the single-richest person, the friends I'm talking about are all rich and successful (and have the related qualities that signal money and class without looking nouveau riche)[1], and the girls they date are good-looking but not perfect 10s.

On top of that, the subpopulation of 30 y/o women I mentioned are the ones who are still single at 30. There are a good amount who didn't fully go the casual-sex route and skewed more towards finding a relationship: those are the type of people that my friends are dating. (Though even within an individual, it's not like people make an all-or-nothing decision between flings and deeper relationships: it's just a preference, and an ongoing decision about where to put one's energy).

As you allude to, I slightly switched the topic of conversation from "average men" to "my rich social circle". What I was getting at is that these same people, despite being pretty rich in their early 20s too, now have almost the same situation that women in their early/mid-20s have: lots of power in the dating market. The implication, to me, is that men who are more average in desirability will have correspondingly less luck but still experience that shift in power, as women their age who have fallen off the desirability cliff "settle" for them. I've noticed the same myself: I'm rich and I'm told I'm funny and reasonably good-looking, but I'm also not very tall; I did a little dating in my early 20s, and was in a long-term relationship for much of my 20s, but the last few years (late 20s), is the first time I've had a pretty decent clip of getting openly hit on by women without putting any effort into it.

I don't want to make this sound like I have it all figured out; it's just something I've noticed in my own experiences and the experiences of all my friends, and I have a model that explains it reasonably well (and comports with the broader science on sexuality that I'm aware of).

[1] It doesn't escape me how this sounds, and if I'm being honest, I find class-signaling to be pretty gross. But it's just a reality I've observed in the corner of the dating market that I have visibility into through my own and my friends' experiences.
Ursula K. Le Guin also pointed this out, at least in her book "The Dispossessed". For example: "This is my brush" vs "This is the brush that I use" regarding -- in part -- the concept of ownership [be it personal or communal].
They already released some of them if they had enough money. How the terrified populace didn't grasp this basic point is what is ridiculous.

Defendant Charged with Visa Fraud

Wang is charged with visa fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1546(a). If convicted, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of ten years in prison and a fine of $250,000.

According to court documents, Wang was still employed by the PLA while he was studying in the United States and he made false statements about his military service in his visa application in order to increase the likelihood that he would receive his J1 visa.

> The problem with restaurants (globally!) is they have zero responsibility or incentive to serve food that fits the nutritional needs of their customers.

I will have to disagree. Maybe this is a cultural thing (I'm from Brazil) but on business days I mostly refuse to have lunch in restaurants that don't offer nutritional food options, and I'm not alone in this matter, the majority of my team mates also care about their diet. Those who don't care about it and eat junk food at work every day are the exception.

Hence, restaurants have the incentive to serve healthier food in order to attract customers like me and my team mates.

That's not to say that I don't like junky food. I love to grab a beer and a burger, but I grant myself that treat at most once a week, not more than that.

That’s why you use the compiler to force discipline on people! No willpower needed.
sorry you are having a hard time. contrary to what one might believe you should be able to get an appointment with a therapist - remotely though - it should actually be easier now since a lot of people don’t like not_in_person therapy.

as a meta: i recommend the book “the power of now”. it sounds like pseudo selfhelp bullshit but at least for me it clicked beautifully - and it can be a really good initiation/transition to something more established like buddhism.
Right, and that content was on YouTube Kids. The current "made for kids" policy goes a length toward improving on the situation GP was decrying.
It was a lot more basic than that. They already had contacts at Broadcom. When a client orders N chips, you make some percentage more just in case something happens with binning. Their deal to buy those excess chips got them a sweetheart deal they couldn't have gotten without ordering millions of units (they also couldn't have gotten it without contacts though).

Now they're big enough to make their own orders and even their own chip designs and it's inertia because changing requires a lot of money for new firmware and software changes. Changing would increase device cost for at least a could of cycles.

On the x86 front, they're simply never going to get that good of a deal with AMD or Intel.
You’re purposefully using language to make it seem like not a big deal. It was clearly more aggressive than simply asking.

And, again, context for where you are “saying they didn’t do it” matters. If it’s an internal company board vs Twitter or github matters.
Ooof. I'd hate to be around that guy if he was organizing a fundraiser. If he's passionate about a cause and notices that you didn't donate as much as he had hoped, does it give him the right to publicly shame you for it? It doesn't matter if it's for a good cause or not, that's 100% harassment.

His tweet wasn't meant to encourage ppl to join his cause, his tweet was targeted at one person and meant to solicit others to attack. I wouldn't be surprised if FB already had complaints about that Dail guy being abrasive and difficult to work with.
Deploy Node.js TS Docker App to AWS EBS
Unfortunately I probably don't have much of anything that'll be useful. The genesis of that book was that I was on sabbatical and had decided to get a job again, so I interviewed at a ton of places. I took a lot of notes for my own sake, and when I saw how many sales the most popular PM interview book on Amazon was getting, I figured if I even got 10% of those it'd still be worth my time to compile the notes into a book.

In terms of general tips on writing this kind of thing, I just start with a big Google Doc and start writing sections about whatever's on my mind. If I'm thinking about a particular interview question, I write about it and leave it with some kind of a note to make it easy to find when I'm searching later. Once I've got a fair amount of content, then I start organizing and filling in the rest.
When the iPhone was first released there was no App Store. Many people asked for one. Eventually Apple relented and told developers to... make web apps for the iPhone instead. This wasn't enough, so eventually eventually they released the App Store. Somewhere alone the line the iPhone was also jailbroken and users with the jailbreak could install their own software.

The point is that a general purpose computing device without apps is a highly unstable situation. The bigger the potential for apps, the louder the demands get.
It could be argued the electoral college is designed to prevent mob rule by preventing would be presidents from getting elected just by pandering to the “mobs” of people living in high population states like California and Texas
Everyone has OpSec.

And then he told them everything during an interview. Or maybe it's all lies to hide something else. Who knows.
I think that's a bit unfair to Slack. I've been using it for 5 years now and it's one of the most dependable apps I've ever used. When you consider how many messages and rich content it's handling, I think they are doing a fairly decent job. I wouldn't call it slow either. If anything my biggest beef with slack is sometimes the cross-device syncing isn't perfect. And I'm unable to use it offline at all.
Not a single comment in this thread supports the employee.

Hi, thanks for hearing!

Unfortunately I don't have specific examples in mind since it has been few months listening the podcast but I remember the episode with Jonathan Blow being a prominent one, because I was new to him, his rants and game development in general, and it felt like every time he was onto something interesting you were ranting about a related issue and after that he was proceeding with his next point without concluding the previous one. At least it felt to me that way.

I hope that didn't sound like I'm complaining. I'm a big fan of you guys and it's a great podcast. I could listen to 100 episodes :)
Perhaps a better umbrella for what I am referring to would be non-dualism.

i’m referring to Buddhism, Sufism, Hinduism, and Esoteric Christianity.

key figures would then be Patanjali, Buddha, Ramana Maharshi, Jesus Christ (Gospel of Thomas), St. Theresa of Avila, The Desert Fathers especially Anthony The Great, Shankaracharya, Rumi, and Hafez.

Patanjali in the non-dual Hindu tradition.

Buddha in the Buddhist tradition.

Jesus (as expressed in the Gospel of Thomas) representing Christianity.

Shankaracharya for advaita vedanta.

Ramana for Self-Enquiry.

Rumi, Hafez for Sufism.

also Somananda for Kashmir Shaivism.

Apologies if there was confusion in terms. It seems we were coming at it from different angles.
This is how in soviet times and to extent how this works with china, unless you are vocally "independently" supportive of party line then you are hiding opposite dissenting view and need to be educated etc.
hahahaha. breaking news: pkd claimed that all his books are basically an expression of what he “sees” in alternate universes. so he saw himself more like a transmitter than a source. in his exegesis he goes back and reinterprets all his work through the valis filter. it’s nuts but beautiful in a poetic manner.

as for the pot healer? i think the book is dope and it’s up there in my top10.
CA Labor Code section 1102 seems to prohibit firing employees for political activity:

"No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity."

Perhaps publicly criticizing the company you work for does not qualify as a political activity? But expressing support for or opposition to a candidate, law, or public policy presumably would. A company would presumably not be able to fire you for attending or expressing support for a protest or political rally.
Nawh, it would be Landsmann, Landsmännin, or the more PC Landsmännix.
I'm well aware of the reasons why. I'm simply using baby-steps to get others to inch their way towards realizing it, instead of naively hoping Apple or some other entity is their mommy/daddy figure that needs to be pleaded with.
>Apple’s biggest competition right now is the web. More and more “apps” are just thin, non-native veneers on top of web sites (cf Zoom, Slack, Steam, etc). The issue for Apple is, why would anyone choose Apple devices if the exact same apps are available on all devices? Apple should be doing everything it can to support good third-party developers that make the real Apple apps that make Apple devices unique, and provide cool Apple-only experiences. But, again, all the developers I know who do this are dying off, because of the App Store’s policies. Even Omni Group had layoffs a couple months ago.

NO! Stop giving Apple more reasons to ruin the web. The browser lock-in on iOS, poor support for modern browser features, and lack of any native interfacing is beyond unforgivable. For Apple, the web is a second-class citizen and it's bordering on lunacy to suggest otherwise.
Zuckerberg Lieutenant Returns to Facebook, a Year After Departure
Lot of people who can't code but really want to get in on the fancy tech job money. They do nothing of value except go around policing people with CoCs and this type of nonsense. In the USSR, they would've been communist officers who send you to the gulag for wrongthink. They want status and power without doing any actual work.
Maybe the mob is trying to rule because it finds the US government illegitimate because they're majority isn't being represented in the government.

In order for Democrats to win the House they have to get more votes than 50%. Democrats received millions of more votes for Senate but don't control that chamber. Democrats received more votes for the Presidency twice this century and have been denied the power of that branch and as a consequence, the third branch, the judiciary, is currently controlled by Republicans as well.
I've tied credit cards to PayPal, but not checking/savings accounts. The company historically has had very loud users who post about all of the bad experiences of having their bank account frozen by PayPal, who then proceeds to slow step their way to investigating. Having a personal bank account frozen for 6 months isn't something I'm prepared to tolerate for a moderate amount of retail convenience, even if the probability is extremely low.

Somewhat related funny: a friend of mine lived/s on "Isis Court". His Venmo transfers were always delayed/held for review for what we suspect are obvious reasons that the implementation of the State Department sanctioned persons list seems to be a substring match, ignoring that there are extremely relevant semantic differences between Isis that can show up in a street address in the USA and an employer/organization name in Western Asia.
> That it'd be fine to give something with 300 million users a half-hearted effort?

Is Twitter not free? What does Jack owe anyone? He didn't force you to sign up for anything. He didn't force you to work for him either. I am sympathetic if you were somehow swindled through the hiring process as too many people are, but otherwise, it seems more arrogant to demand that this one man spend his time however you see fit vs. doing whatever he wants. Clearly the way he spends his time is working for him or else he wouldn't be in his position.
You know throwing a neural network at things doesn't just magically make them better... lot of advantages to linear techniques... not even clear that there's enough structure in a big 5 questionnaire to benefit from a fancy NN... also dubious that autoencoder features are particularly interpretable...
What if Trump narrowly loses, but refuses to concede?
Quote: "The election comes down to a few swing states, such as Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Michigan. Crucially, right now all three of those states have Democratic governors and Republican-controlled legislatures … and there’s no clear law about which of the two (the governor or the legislature) gets to certify election results and send them to Congress! So suppose Trump has a slight edge on election night, Fox News calls the race for him, but then an avalanche of absentee or provisional ballots shift things in Biden’s favor over the following week. Can you imagine Trump or his supporters accepting the latter?"
> I just meant, very simply, that it's rule by someone other than who the people expressed their desire to be ruled by.

That's not what the term means. It's practically the opposite of one of the meanings of the word, which is a pejorative for majoritarian rule. An absolute autocrat is about as far as you can get from mob rule, and yet it's "rule by someone other than who the people express their desire to be ruled by".
> I highly doubt the very people who designed the electoral college would approve of its use when it seems to routinely elect someone who lost the popular vote.

That's literally why they invented the electoral college. To add indirection between the popular vote and the presidency.
Because at some point, things may change on their own.
Or another reading is that Google is yet again abusing their dominant position to alter the spec to suit their needs instead of the need of people using non-dominant browsers.

Well they are already kind of sitting out.

Thats an old humbug. IMO it merely means respect for people or group who are ideological flavor of the season.
"Wang is charged with visa fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1546(a). If convicted, he faces a maximum statutory penalty of ten years in prison and a fine of $250,000."

The US has ludicrous prison sentences. Lie on an application = 10 years in prison. That is insane. Good luck getting out alive as a 5'5" 130 lbs guy in a federal prison covered in covid19 for 10 years. Federal prison doesn't have good time - so bring some good books.

Instead could we just charge this guy, make him pay huge fines, make him teach classes, make him explain what really happened and move on? Instead! I bet a senator out there is trying to pass a law making it 40 years.
Maybe we haven't voted hard enough?
Or just throw it up on Steam.
That's not a choice for Apple to make, developers should be able to sell upgrades as they see fit (I am not referring to extravagant never before seen business models)
It's called compelled speech, which the first amendment says is illegal. (Yes yes, the first amendment is entirely about the government and speech, but it's somewhat of an American belief to then try to apply first amendment protections across our society, even if we're not legally bound by it.)

Yes, it was a private reply, which the facebook employee then outed publicly on twitter.

>I asked @Vjeux to follow @reactjs's lead and add a statement of support to Recoil's docs and he privately refused, claiming open source shouldn't be political.

That is 100% not ok.
...Its strange how 'thinking'is often synonymous with believing wildly implausible conspiracy theories on the basis of no evidence. Researchers have found hundreds of SARS like corona-viruses in horseshoe bats in southern china. This pandemic was predicted by many subject matter experts as a likely scenario and their research was oriented to try and prevent their worst case scenario from occurring. Because of the sheer number of potentially dangerous bat viruses, they are still concerned that we haven't even encountered the worst case virus, maybe there is something equally as hard to detect but more deadly out there. There is no need for an accidental release to occur. Zoonaotic viruses cross the species barrier and cause pandemics, that's literally the only way they happen, and it's always because of close contact between animals and humans, it's not some big mystery, eating bats in southern china was, and is incredibly dangerous.
> There are established ways to overthrow correct but outdated answers (I've just used one).

What are they? I've tried to edit accepted answers that contain inaccuracies or outdated info and faced difficulty getting those edits approved. It is a time consuming and frustrating process in my experience.
I've enjoyed all the recent HN posts about notetaking software! (Roam, org-roam, Obsidian, Zettlr, Code Notes...)

It seems the main point of Code Notes is to serve a static site, but I'd love to see the author turn it into an editor by hooking up a ProseMirror [2] instance :)

Out of curiosity, what solutions do others use for tags/categorization/full-text search of their notes? Code Notes seems to use FlexSearch.js [1].

Thanks for doing these, they're incredibly interesting, useful, amusing (Oh no! the schadenfreude!) and also, incredibly inspiring to me to be a better engineer, so thank you again :)
politics are profoundly personal but also pervades the whole human-organizational stack. conflict resolution might be one of its applications, but make no mistake, politics is primarily concerned with power and its application.

(human) politics requires just 2 people, not a whole societies’ worth; even zero people at the limit, since politics happens in and with other species too.
>My personal policy is to not discuss political/social issues at work.

Your silence is part of the discussion. You cannot escape the political atmosphere of the government to whom you pay taxes. If you want to separate work and politics, you need to not participate in the system that allows the politics to exist.
