1. Code Red has been part of broader civilian idiom since, I don't know, the 50s? Use of "Code Red" doesn't indicate anything.

2. Common sense dictates that whenever one transfers skills to a new context, one assess the underlying assumptions and context of those skills to adapt them for use. I'm sure mistakes in that regard will inevitably be made, but I give most people more credit than to assume, a priori, that people will transplant those skills without any thought given to changing contexts. That seems like a very condescending assumption to start with, but maybe I'm misreading you.
I have offended you by proposing a system of belief? Isn't this a little intolerant?

> but if you’re goal is to poke fun at a group of people

Aren't you assuming too much?

> You don’t get to say when you’re offending people, others do

You are right, I apologize for my phrasing. I actually wanted to know how that could be offending, because I could not see this.
He's using GT as an example of a "real" school with real online opportunities. The counterexample is Northern Virginia.

On it's surface, with no prior knowledge of reputation, it can be hard to recognize the diploma mill from the legitimate program. This becomes even more difficult when the legit program is a lesser known, lower tier, but still properly functioning institution.
We sadly don’t talk about how we rack these at all, but the folks at Facebook have made their OCP designs public for vaguely similar systems.

However, I’ll note that the 16 A100s here are way more expensive than the cpu cores (and we can just run vanilla VMs on those left over cores if really needed).
Anyone know the reasoning for the $150k cutoff?
Stand Out at Work. Solve the Principal-Agent Problem
It was from atmospheric testing of nuclear weapons in general, but the last atmospheric nuclear test was conducted in 1980, leaving Chernobyl as the last event to disperse significant nuclear material into the atmosphere. Though, I think the bulk of the radionuclides have decayed enough that there's no longer a need to salvage old WW1 battleships for their low radiation steel. Specifically, the two major "medium-lived fission concerns," caesium-137 and strontium-90 have a ~30 year half-life.
Eloi don't need to learn programming: "[by] the time you became truly proficient at programming, chances are that whatever you set out to write would be available in some form from a software publisher."

Morlocks might want to learn programming, not because it's useful for eating Eloi, but because they're the sort of people for whom "purchasing an automobile for a cross-country trip [and] first [studying] cartography, then [proceeding] to obtain aerial and satellite photographs of the proposed route, and finally [drawing] a detailed map for the whole journey" sounds like a brilliant yak shave.

(Sandberg-Diment has left out the parts where obtaining the satellite photographs involves SDR hacking into downlink telemetry and drawing the detailed map first requires implementing a geometric-algebra based direct-to-framebuffer renderer)
Not sure why this comment is being downvoted.

I just searched my local city and noticed that our (for profit) ambulance service received a loan:

I definitely don't think they saw the number of ambulance rides go down. And also don't think their profits suffered.
Stratechery quoting Satya Nadella:

> Sometimes I think the new OS is not going to start from the hardware, because the classic OS definition, that Tanenbaum, one of the guys who wrote the book on Operating Systems that I read when I went to school was: “It does two things, it abstracts hardware, and it creates an app model”. [...] what’s the app model for it? How do I write an experience that transcends all of that hardware? And that’s really what our pursuit of Microsoft 365 is all about.

Isn't this basically what the web is (or could have been?) all about?

"An application experience that trascends any device"... isn't this the web? I can access it in my smartphone (the real personal computer device), my laptop, ipad, you name it... All of these of course powered by "the cloud" (somebody's server on somebody else's giant datacenters)

Microsoft's purchase of github seems clearer and their overall strategy seems very coherent. To be the best web's (understood as an OS) vendor and tooling provider.

At this rate they'll be eating the lunch Google could have had but can't quite get...

It seems that Google is dangerously close to a crisis even if they cannot percieve this over all their ad revenue.

Google original's innovation which got them to where they are now is basically their better technology. But how good is google search today? IMO it is way worse than it was around 5 to 10 years ago.
It's really not stimulus either. It's more correctly characterized as relief.
It's the class of people telling others that they should have "saved for a rainy day" who are the first to stick their hand out and take free money.
I second this (Reclaim beta user here, and they didn't ask me to post this) - Reclaim makes me think about my time more, but drag appointment boxes around less.
I think software is unique in that there isn't a neat "research" vs. "engineering" side, at least in so far as a lot of boundary pushing in the field has happened by engineers actually building software.

I think there will always be a frontier where that is the case in software—there will always be hackers building open source projects that push some boundary, fostering their own community, and potentially changing broader paradigms—but that more and more, we're seeing a neater boundary between research (Universities, labs, projects that are essentially R&D teams at big companies) and engineering.

Of all types of institutions, why should we be giving the banks the right to decide which businesses should be recession proof or not?
Personal opinion but I would have required the applicants of these quasi-forgiveness loans to give up 35% of their businesses to the state/county/federal inclusive of all assets and investments non-dischargeable by bankruptcy.

We have 100,000 people dead in this country, million dollar hospital bills for those on vents, and yet the stream of cash continues to flow to those too stupid to save a few months of operating expenses/payroll. What a trash society the US has become.
Orthogonality Thesis
Asking people to pay for a human reviewer is a recipe for bad PR. Inevitably, some content creator is going to pay $10 and disagree with a ruling even if it's justified. They'll then complain that it's all a scam. To be fair, there wouldn't be a way to prove that it's not a scam. Also, humans are inevitably wrong decisions, especially when it comes to videos that are borderline.
In what sense? That is, in terms of their gender, or their sex, or both?
Thank you! I was never good at doing landing pages so this comment means a lot to me.
Great point. It seems to me the mechanics of competition are at play to some extent in open source: ideas compete against each other, the better ones prevail, and contribute to a better whole.
I've used DroidCam with mostly good results. (I think the last time I tried it out wouldn't work but previously it had worked well)
If you were a true enlightenment fanatic you would know that even the proponents of freedom of expression didn't support universal toleration. Not even John Locke supported pure universal toleration, although in his case he wanted to silence the voices of atheists. You confuse the idea that your freedom to express your mind with the idea that your expressions have no consequences. In the case of this article has the "Purity Posse" gone to far? Absolutely! But that does not mean that his work is not above scrutiny. You need to also understand the position of the other side too. Let us peer into the ugly side of racial injustice and the concept that the super predator juvenile detention system that was part of and is still part of the school to prison pipeline. Do you deny the fact that those concepts and systems are not inherently racist and oppressive systems that piggy back on our very justice system? Most the supporting evidence for those concepts were coached in pseudo-scientific psychobabble. The only way to pursue justice is to find those cornerstones that uphold the system and remove them. Sure trying to cancel Pinker is wrong and misguided but the proponents of racial justice are approaching the problem in the only way they know how. In this case they are wrong, but would they be wrong about other researchers that have written work that is antithetical to racial justice in America?

This article is so unbalanced. It defends Pinker but it doesn't bother trying to even understand his detractors in this case. Just goes on a diatribe that sounds so much like all the other white persecution complex arguments I hear all the time.
You appear to be assuming the communist manifesto was a success due to the Russian Revolution.

The Soviet empire lasted about as much time as the time between the writing of the manifesto and its implementation by the revolutionaries (possibly less, depending on how you define the USSR's lifetime). We'll have to see how China's experiment goes (China appears to be succeeding through a combination of a culture with massive deference to authority and the fine art of mixing in enough capitalism to keep power-brokers from undermining the goals of the party in charge), but "Marx's manifesto bore successful fruit" is hardly a non-controversial statement.

But I stand by my assertion: we cannot know the future, and in the time-frame of the writing of his manifesto 'til now, the Unabomber has failed and his philosophy bore no fruit but death and a jail sentence. Perhaps he ends up a future thought-leader; I doubt it, but stranger things have happened.
EDIT- Seems the below came from a misreading of the OP text, But i cannot delete it now that I'm downvoted... Please ignore.

> Skills learned in the military are for war, learned for conflict situations and applying them to civilian environments and bringing a war mentality or attitude to a workplace is toxic.

> only adds to the toxicity of a workplace

What exactly was the toxicity besides your choice to overreact (stay overnight) ? Why do you believe that leadership skills for war are not applicable to other domains?
This pandemic will be alot worse in economic terms than predicted. So far the only bright spot will be deaths seem to have really dropped, but death is a low bar compared to having severe chronic symptoms after infection. Alot of people have really shut down spending(my family reduced it by 50%) Expect international travel/tourism to be completely shutdown as well as a majority of restaurants and bars until prb early 2021. Sports and concerts also. That is a considerable chunk of the economy. Will a majority of these restaurants even exist next year? A few assumptions that have been proven wrong with covid-19:

1. The virus will subside in the summer like the flu does. Based on cases in the US and other areas (sans Europe) skyrocketing right now this is absolutely not true, forget a 2nd wave we have a growing mountain of a 1st wave hitting the US/Americas now.

2. Children are not really affected by covid. Israel had to shut its schools down after cases there were jumping, in addition kawasaki disease seems to be prevalent in a higher percentage of infected children than normally seen.

3. Antibodies will offer protection against covid-19 after being infected. This too has been disproved although the jury is not out yet. Studies have seen neutralizing antibodies stay in a persons system for about 2-3 months. There are other ways the body knows how to fight an infection so this is not definitive yet.[3]

How about adding something to the page itself about completion status?

I went and looked, before reading your second paragraph, and the clusters immediately jumped out, and it either seemed suspect or wrong. Then I had to come back here to see why it was wrong.
This is why integration tests are more valuable than unit tests. Integration tests directly test the desired output, no need to think about what to test. Integration tests flag if something is wrong, unit tests help refine which part is wrong. If all integration tests are consistently passing I honestly do not see the value in having to write unit tests as well (or at the very least they have lower priority).
I’m surprised this book didn’t come up sooner, it’s a fantastic book.

To my knowledge the only book mentioned here that takes the time to define technical leadership and present models of leadership suited potentially to different circumstances.

I might add ‘The art and science of doing engineering’ by hamming and recently republished by stripe.

The more leadership or management books I read the more inclined I am to respect Taleb’s approach of looking for old timeless material rather than what’s new or hot.

Most of what Gerald Weinberg has written qualifies IMO. Tom DeMarcos books also.
It's for the tweaks. For a while there was an update to update arms race between Phantom and snapchat. Snapchat would detect phantom, then the next phantom update would evade the detection, then back and forth back and forth. Phantom basically added more power to the app, along with the ability to save videos and phtos, plus some other quality of life features that took snapchat years to implement natively (groups, more design tools, access to camera roll, etc). Honestly, probably 90% of snapchats features over the past 5 years came from copying features from that tweak.

I can't imagine why snapchat is so militant, probably just some ego or personality on their dev team that doesn't want a subset of power users to emerge. It reminds me of twitter going to war with alternative clients. I tend to hold on to my phone for pretty long, and snapchat is always the first app that forces me to update my phone to the latest OS or even buy a new one entirely if I've reached the final OS for that phone.
problem is immune system has been tuned to develop with parasites and malfunctions without them.
He still doesn't deserve to die. There are other more constructive ways to turn it into a net positive like not re-elect him.

There are two big reasons you have trouble recalling a piece of information about your craft:

You use it so much that it is down to intuition, or you never use it at all.

For example, my relationship to Orders of Complexity has been reduced to sorting options in my head, and picking the first one that is simple enough to keep working, and fast enough to satisfy the current and estimated future scope of the problem (which is also intuitive Capacity Planning).

If you make me explain the decision it might sound like I picked one at random.
Enter key is implemented. Good idea.

Our policies should reflect that our people also includes immigrants and that we are strongest when the definition of american is == "the best and the brightest from around the world".
GCJ-02 Explained. A Short Guide to the Chinese Coordinate System
Yeah, but that's much harder to grade.

The main benefit of multiple-choice is that grading is instant. There is no ambiguity, no half points.

I completely agree that tests like this should not exist, but sadly they do. Even in Europe bachelor's courses seem to be slowly shifting towards this.
Bringing in raw talent and nurturing them here has been successful for USA. That is the student visa route.. I think you are referring to H1B?
You're talking anecdotes, not data. Chronic illness is not a common side-effect for those who recover from COVID-19. It's in line with the side-effects you would expect to see when people catch a serious RTI. Influenza also causes lung scarring, exhaustion, blood clots, and so on. If you have a study that shows COVID-19 causing lasting damage in an significant number of cases I'd like to see it.
A lot of misinformed generalizations here.

I work for a firm where staff took 20% pay cuts, partners took much larger cuts and the principals likely will not be paid at all this year. I had to lay off a dozen people personally. Other firms took similar or more extreme measures. Law firms are getting hit fairly hard like a lot of other businesses. We didn't take PPP funds, but if we did and it saved some of the 70 of my coworkers who lost their job in the worst economy anyone alive today can remember, then I wouldn't feel the least bit guilty about it.

Nobody is buying used Bentley's so I don't know where you get the idea that someone can just liquidate one to pay employees. And why should someone have to liquidate personal possessions to pay someone else anyway?

What franchisee do you know who is sitting on millions in cash? It doesn't work that way. Someone who franchises a fast food place makes an enormous investment, takes a significant risk, works their ass off and then pays substantial fees to the company. These are generally small business owners.
That's not what I'm saying at all. Of course very few people make "the best" of anything. What I'm saying is that the internet, and in our case open-source software, have caused "the best" to be all that matters, because it's accessible to everyone. There's no longer a practical reason for most people to engineer most (generic) things themselves because the better solution isn't hidden behind a license, or proprietary to an organization, or inaccessible due to physical media. People used to buy things like linkers. Today, the state-of-the-art is nearly always at your fingertips, for free, in seconds.

I'm not saying this is a bad thing. Progress always makes certain endeavors obsolete over time. You don't see job postings for telegraph operators any more because it's no longer useful. But if a person enjoys one of those endeavors for its own sake, it's bittersweet to see it relegated to a hobby.
Here's a completed ebay auction from April 20th that sold a 5120 for $699: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Intel-Xeon-Gold-5120-SR3GD-14-Core-... I know the pound hasn't been doing well lately, but surely it hasn't been that bad.
I don't think the America First folks realize how damaging these trump policies are to america.

The brain drain effect is almost always linked to poor economic performance. And the rules are so ham fisted now. Bipartisan H1B reform goes nowhere (prioritize US masters degrees, block H1B dependent employers from more H1Bs etc). Stupid stuff is everywhere.

Immigrants bringing in revenue (plenty) support US jobs in the US.

It's going to be a rude shock to the less skilled american worker to find a lot of jobs going remote overseas (Canada even) and their middle management / entry level office jobs vanishing.

This historic effect here, where another country educates someone, and then they come to the US, is INSANELY profitable for the US. Seriously, in a ruthless way folks who are not successful in school, have health issues, have criminal backgrounds, are disabled etc don't come in on these visas.

Instead its ambitious folks ANOTHER COUNTRY has invested a lot into coming to the US. How does that hurt the US?

This has always been a huge advantage the US has had. Crazy to see the US throwing it away.
Very cool to see this!

In my opinion, GDPR, if properly enforced, is going to be a disaster for many users.

Not everyone can pay for the content they consume. Some people are poor, under 18, live in a country where Visa/Mastercard isn't widely supported or can't pay for some other reason. Internet has made the lives of those people much, much better. They definitely prefer being tracked over having to pay for Facebook, Snapchat, Youtube and all the other sites they use. GDPR forces providers to provide their services to customers who opt out of tracking, and most of them will. That means switching to a payment-only model is going to become the only viable option, hurting a large part of the population.

The "just force them to pay" attitude that I often see here is extremely elitist. For someone making six figures, being tracked matters. For someone barely scraping by or without a credit card, that's an acceptable price to pay for all the goodies they get.
Building Twitter's ad platform architecture for the future
I really like the term "outragebait", I think it fits perfectly.

One tactic i think is pretty clever is changing neutral to mean against. You can be vehemently for a topic or vehemently against a topic or you can just keep your mouth shut and live your life as you see fit.

I guess too many people were doing that because now those people are being positioned as part of the opposition. Now, not only are you suppose to be outraged at the other side you're suppose to be outraged at everyone not outraged or on the other side.
International folks need to realize that life is too precious. You don't want to spend time with bureaucracy and threat of deportation while getting education and pursuing productive careers.

America of the past is gone. It's rapidly deteriorating. Save your lives and don't enter into any educational or business arrangement with America.
I don’t agree with the overall point but there is an implication in the use of the stat that the business would not have started if not for that 1 out of 5 founder.

Alternatively, that role would have been filled By someone else.
Currently people with a Computer Science degree have ~95% employment during the worst economic downturn of my lifetime. I don't need goverment protection for my job. In order to be more competitive my company needs more workers with Computer Science degrees. Reducing the supply of computer science degree holders actually hurts my long term career prospects by reducing the international competitiveness of the type of business that would hire me.
You clearly have no idea how universities are operating during covid. Most online classes are real-time and collaborative.
> So because it was a smaller number, they’re less important?

On a public policy level, sure. A million deaths tends to matter more than a thousand. This is hardly controversial.

> Also, unintentional deaths are in the same ballpark as coronavirus deaths, why don’t we criminalize vehicles, bubble wrap our homes, or avoid anything that could possibly harm us?

We do the cost/benefit analysis on a lot of such things. Cars are now larger, heavier, and more expensive because we've added various things that make occupants safer. Building codes have done the same for houses.
Put yourself in the CEO's shoes and see the entire company end to end. Then see how your team is contributing to the bigger story.
Work on bringing business context to tasks. Help your team members see the business/strategy line of thought behind decisions.
Once team members have context to the work they do, they are better motivated and bring in valuable insights.
Always appreciate and bring spotlight on them for successes.
Always take on the blame and never forward criticism directly to your team members. You are the buffer.
Read books on strategy/business to gain greater perspective.
Train yourself and your team in second and third order thinking. Helping them come up with all kinds of scenarios around their tasks.
Finally, be humble, caring, and be nice to everyone.
Cheers!
I have that book, even 30 years later. I've been referring to it a recently, while using an Arduino to drive a Z80 chip (pretending to be I/O ports, and RAM).
