> In my personal experience, whenever anything like this happened, there would be layoffs within a year.

A few months before Microsoft laid off 18,000 people in 2014 my team and I sat in an all hands meeting for our group (or division, or whatever it was called). The merging of the SDET and SDE career paths was explained, accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation. The presentation contained a slide which had as its only content something like, "No jobs will be lost," in bold, red, all-caps font on a white background. Over the following weeks, several SDETs who worked closely with my team found SDE positions in other parts of the company. Sure enough, come July, thousands of SDETs were laid off.[0]

That slide is burned into my memory, and I often wonder if it was a warning from management who knew what was coming but were not permitted to say.

[0] Many would later be hired back, but that's another story.
Two problems with your response - first, you are putting words in my mouth. I said the opposite of "letting it run its course". Read the end of my comment. Second, how are you certain that alternative policies would be worse? That's my original point - that the numbers aren't really being investigated and compared. Please feel free to prove me wrong and provide links to comprehensive studies that account for secondary effects on society.
One thing to keep in mind is that “white” many times absorbs the other populations. In the past, for example, Italians and other Southern Europes were not considered “white”. Now they are. Add to that intermarriages, and likely the proportion of people who identify as “white” will be likely be constant or grow in the future.
? I guess it depends on what you classify as immigration. Israel has depended on a far flung diaspora returning, but I don’t know the numbers, so I’d prefer to see native born growth versus “returnees”.
Ironic response :)

Basecamp is a relatively small company. Comparing Basecamp to a publicly traded enterprise is apples and oranges.

Furthermore, it’s important to realize that Basecamp’s company culture evangelization is partially a PR push for the company. I have no problems believing that Basecamp’s employees enjoy the work environment, but their constant insistence that their way is the only way to run a company and that all other company cultures are fatally flawed is some dishonest rhetoric. I loved it when I was a junior IC straight out of college and thought every DHH Tweet was a new revelation about how my employer was dumb, but the more time I spend on the operations side, the more I realize that Basecamp’s PR push is more about sowing discord to sell books and products than about actionable advice.

Do you have a schema somewhere? I've been working on a dataset that includes git repositories and I've been muddling through it slowly. It's built around a dataset of ~126k builds I collected some time back, plus ~5k Pivotal Tracker stories for the same time period. Covers about 2.5 years of 3 teams.

The hardest parts have been (1) dealing with actual lines, which I gave up on and (2) very busy robot repos with hundreds of thousands of commits.

My goal is to release the data as a single integrated set, but there's a ways to go. For one thing I need to find everyone in it to ask if they're OK with me doing so.

Dmitri got it to work, but it was a bit too late. There were artifacts that could have been worked-around in the content. But, the idea came up after the content was far too solidified.
Yeah, I'm a bit surprised nobody has picked up on the forgiveness part. The more I worked on this, the more it's necessity became clear. I think it's a more subtle point, but it's a powerful way to restore relationships and even potentially forge closer ties.

I get that many people think Twitter or social media in general is a broken system. It's my belief though the same power of design to get us into the toxic situations we're in can help get us out of it. It will take many changes to deconstruct the outrage engine, but I think one part is indeed finding ways to have constructive, reputation- and respect-preserving dialog.

Changing the algorithm is a much bigger task. It's a sort of 'how do you solve world peace as just one person' type question. If we lack access to change something big, we must still try to change what we can. That was why I started with a simple feature that Twitter could implement without much effort. We may as well try it and see what it does. If it works, it can help give us the momentum to tackle bigger problems, and give us the hope and concrete results to tackle larger problems.
We've seen Snapchat, Reddit, Instagram, and Twitter off the top of my head build out competing social networks with dozens of engineers (or less).

I understand your point of view and how it may look but I disagree that said country lifted restrictions because of elections. Countries around you also lifted restrictions at the same time. The whole region went out of the lockdown pretty quickly with bars opening, etc. There was that derby though that was obvious mistake if you look at it retrospectively. Everything else is pretty much in sync with what other countries did so your point about elections is not really strong.
> But what I am saying is that maybe the "reasoning" regarding what will happen without them isn't as much established fact as many people like to believe.

I don't think anyone thought of it as established fact. But it also wasn't an established fact that we didn't have to take all those measures. It's a question of risk, not of absolute foreknowledge.

Also, as @acqq correctly points out, a period of time with strict lockdown can reduce the number of cases to the point that a relaxation of controls doesn't immediately result in a large outbreak. An exponential curve has a flat region [0] where it doesn't seem to be getting out of hand. If you manage to put yourselves well into that flat region, you will have bought yourself a period of time in which the controls can be relaxed. But it's only temporary.

Just to clarify -- even in the US I think the proportion of cases that do go to lawyers is pretty small. But those that do can have a major financial impact.

For example, over the last 20 years I saw maybe 10 car-related accidents in the extended family and all except one of those were simple to deal with -- never went to lawyers, just provide insurance information and move on. But one remaining case, where a school bus hit a family member walking on a sidewalk, took years for two insurance companies to litigate.
There's a difference between a kid flailign his arms listening to music weighing 140 lbs because he has autism and a hardened criminal as well, didn't stop cops from killing him for the crime of being black.

Had these kids been kicked to the curb and shunned early in life who became cops maybe they'd still be in shitty dead-end jobs, and not killing people and getting paid for it. So yeah, it does matter what you say on social media when you're 17.

Otherwise, lets completely end the whole application process why do grades matter, or accomplishments in school? Because they seem to think character matters.

I'm not saying there is as I don't have statistics backing it up, but it seems highly likely if you did a study of rapists and home abuser overlay that on top of racists you'd have a venn diagram w/ some major overlap.

But the fact of the matter is, why risk a kid coming to school being racist and disenfranchising other students, when there's 10 others of similar merit on the waiting list? They could maybe be less 'vocal' about it, so maybe it's not all over the news and really ruin records, but they can say 'sorry we decided to go a different direction'.
You're not missing anything; those countries are completely white on the map. "Limited access to streets" is kind of a euphemism for what we used to call "third-world slums" which aren't really a problem in developed countries so those countries probably get a lot less study.

I saw an interesting paper a while back about computing the minimum number of shacks to tear down that would allow putting in new streets/utilities to provide access to every structure. It's a very different mindset from urban planning in the developed world.

> > With the zeroing of the budget for Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository in Nevada, more nuclear waste is being loaded into sealed metal casks filled with inert gas. Many of these casks will be stored in coastal or lakeside regions where a salt air environment exists, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is studying how such dry casks perform in salt environments. Some hope that the casks can be used for 100 years, but cracking related to corrosion could occur in 30 years or less.

> In other words the "safe" temporary storage is not really safe.

I think you misunderstood this paragraph. The waste is being stored in these temporary casks because the Yucca Mountain facility's budget was eliminated, and thus temporary storage is the only storage option.

I have not been able to create synthetic data for 3D bounding boxes. Is there something available that can help?
Quite often, at least back when they were available for industrial use. I prefer to use non-disposable p100 masks with a silicone seal. The seal leaves a red mark on your face after a few hours but it’s worth it to not inspirate hazardous materials if your mask gets bumped.

That said, N95 masks can work fine if you fit them properly, which may involve shaving any facial hair outside of a mustache, shortening the rubber straps, or adjusting the metal nose bracket.

It’s worth noting that an n95 mask doesn’t really provide vapor protection so it may not do too much for you while you’re painting but if you’re getting wood dust inside then your mask was either improperly fitted or it’s the wrong size for your face.
Remember that conversations are being read by people beyond those replying. They're less likely to be so invested as to smell blood from an admission of wrong.

Yeah except for all the times that people who think they know the route start setting up cairns and before you know it there are networks of poorly designated trails sometimes on the correct path but most of the time not. Sometimes they’re useful in the sense of knowing other people have been where you currently are. I’ve been mountaineering for 10 years though and there have only been a very few number of times that community cairns actually mark a path clearly and correctly.
Sorry, it’s a bit of a pet peeve of mine. I have lots of stories of getting lost because I followed cairns instead of common sense or reasonable route finding.
We don’t actually know the reason why the manager was called out for working hard. Was it because they are naturally awesome and motivated? Is it because they were covering for a problem with the team? Is it because the manager is new and doesn’t have experience delegating? Without the context it’s impossible to draw a conclusion.
Yes actually, lite.cnn.com.

It looks like the only scripts it loads are scripts to set up a single analytics provider. F5 results in only 6 network requests, the page, the favicon, a stylesheet, two js requests for the previously mentioned analytics provider, and a request for a tracking pixel for the previously mentioned analytics provider.
Back in high-school, I had a (white) history teacher that made it a whole unit in her class. Her thesis was that white people were the only thing in America holding back progress, and that when the US was majority minority we'd reach an inflection point where 'we' (progressives) would be able to implement policies that might absolve the country of its sins, and tied it all into the MLK arc of history quote.

Looking back now, I can't help but wonder if it didn't drive a few of my classmates to some of the more reactionary and racist politics on the right.

Right. If it's 18ms before you get any result you can't do anything & that's the lower bound on the FPS you can display. The problem is with respect to the pipeline granularity you're thinking about. I'm not suggesting creating a deeper pipeline. I'm saying make the granularity smaller. Can the app simulate the portion of the world that's actually needed for display? Can the rendering engine get you the result for the first 1/4 of a frame in 1/4 of the time it would take to do the whole screen? Can the display pipeline understand portions of the same frame being submitted at different times? Ultimately can you drive different parts of the display at different refresh rates based on when those pieces arrive.

I'm not trying to make this seem like a trivial thing. The single global view is easy to reason about. We need fundamental research into this space on how to build physics & rendering engines that can unlock this kind of granularity. There's massive data dependencies that are really challenging to untangle. Each layer in the pipe, from physics engines & rendering engines, to display pipeline APIs, to GPUs likes to treat everything else like an opaque system with each providing a complete result to the next. There's an enormous amount of existing architecture that would have to be rewritten. I'm also 100% clear that it's entirely possible that parts of the pipeline can't be segmented in this way to get good looking result or it might make the SW burden on content creators to costly. I still believe it's the right direction though & is the only way you're going to ever see 8k displays @ 120hz or above. Well, that's not strictly true. The other trick will be to use motion estimation & neural nets to provide the interpolation when you drive it higher than the content can support - you can see that with all the motion estimation & supersampling improvements that various vendors are producing.
I think neel_k was referring to the fact that when a DPLL or CDCL solver concludes UNSAT you can take the trace its backtracking activity and rewrite it from the bottom up as a resolution refutation. So in this sense the solvers are finding resolution proofs.
This actually exacerbates the problem of lower birth rates. Longer life expectancy mean an even greater portion of the population is non-working and dependent on the shrinking share of working-age people. If people worked a greater portion of their lifespan that could compensate for lower birthrates but increasing retirement ages is extremely unpopular.
Having done it I completely agree with you. There were a lot of frustrating hurdles over many years, but this was so much more than that and I'm really happy for the final ritual.

These are interesting resources, thank you. One sentence stuck out to me in [2]:

> Early pseudo-3D GUIs and Steve-Jobs-esque skeuomorphism often produced heavy, clunky interfaces.

I think that this is an aesthetic assessment, not one that speaks to usability. And while older interfaces were aesthetically clunky, newer interfaces are functionally clunky - often hiding functionality (hamburger menu) and wasting content space in exchange for the whitespace necessary to separate elements without skeuomorphic signifiers.

what is the alternative you see to social media to build influence and visibility?

Releasing yourself from the need to build influence and visibility in exchange for a life of genuine authenticity and virtue.
Strongly agreed. I've taught university-level discrete math several times, and beginners to the subject need pegs to hang their hat on, something that serves as a goal and a signal that they're done. The Pigeonhole Principle is an ideal example of this.

Conversely, in research papers, or in conversations among math researchers (at least in my discipline) the Pigeonhole Principle is seldom mentioned by name. The idea is considered too "obvious" to need a name.

Deflation is terrible for the economic system that we live in.

In a deflationary economy, the value of money goes up, as time passes. This means that people with money have zero incentive to spend, or invest it.

Hypothetically, you could adopt an economic system that would not be affected by deflation, but until you do, it's best to avoid tangling with it.

Simple. Friendship transcends posturing and virtue signalling, at least for me. Dropping someone as a friend because we disagree, at a deep and fundamental level over something important, doesn't preclude us from having other common ground we can enjoy together.

I disagree, sometimes deeply, with some of my friends. I also don't like echo chambers, as no original thought occurs there. Just an attempt to negate the "other". Which is completely counterproductive to having a rational dialog.
