Internet mob rule definitely has its problems, but it's also particularly disliked by people who previously had the "Orthodox" privilege, because losing privilege feels terrible, which can be summed as:

"I used to be able to say anything honestly, now I can't."
So an investment. But an investment is also a cost that you might not be able to afford upfront.
What is annoying about these interviews is that you are expected to have memoized all of the algorithms be able to implement them while someone is watching, on a whiteboard, in a very short amount of time.

In my experience at Amazon and Google we all referred to books and colleagues when working through algorithms.
What if I told you the US already has both a private and public system....

What if I told you that nothing short of exclusive government run healthcare will ever be acceptable to the socialists that make up a large percentage of the people calling for "universal healthcare, and any private system would be deemed "unfair"
Not entirely, because I'm speaking very broadly. You could probably name one of orthodoxies as the one colloquially known as social justice. It's the worldview that has gained significant traction over the course of the last five years.

The other one is harder to define because it's essentially not the social justice worldview.

In America, you tend to find the social justice worldview in urban and coastal areas, and you tend to find the latter in rural, interior locations.

Obviously this generalization breaks down in many ways, so [insert all the caveats].
> You're either a Democrat or Republican, your whole constellation of viewpoints are very predictable given that one label.

If you don't see that those are actually two sides of the same orthodoxy, and that the truly unorthodox opinions are outside of either of those two, I don't know what to tell you beyond "you should check your orthodox privilege". ;-)

When it comes to realpolitik, the Democrats and Republicans are basically only different in terms of the speed at which they implement neoliberal policies and fight neocon wars. The general direction of "progress" is the same.
This should be the answer, even if there is a more accepted term already in use. The etymology is undeniable and it very effectively describes the concept in question without it possibly making references to any other adjacent concepts.

Also it reminds me of Animorphs!
It is pretty clear, if you read Paul Graham's twitter feed, what is it that he wants to say but feels he cannot say. I see where his point of view completely, but having not seen the the other side of privilege: the very real and lived experiences and feelings where cancel culture stems from, I feel this is an issue where he is totally blindsighted. The problem in the US currently, I feel, is not cancel culture per se, but widespread and ever growing narcissism which makes one less questioning about their fundamental worldview than one should be.

Paul Graham is somewhat a victim of this himself.

For example, the assumption behind this very essay is that there is such a thing as a rigid, singular concept of "truth" in the moral, cultural and political sphere, that there is a "fact of the matter" whether a belief (say one PG holds) is correct or not. Or that that we live in a static world where such truths can even exist, and not, in a fluid, dynamic, politically messy world where contrasting viewpoints interact and produce something not something ever lasting, but something which is fragile and must always be fought for, this fight being a necessary feature for a functioning democracy.
While it is undeniably a racist dogwhistle, there are still some communities where that is not the safe/"orthodox" opinion
Not just presumably, it’s literally written in their documentation. It’s not possible to develop a modern browser for iOS.
Of course “diets” don’t work. People consider diets as something you get on for some results or changes and then abandon them or give up later. So what actually works is making it a lifestyle change, which isn’t easy either, but is at least honest in what it means to people when they hear the word. Lifestyle changes are hard. Diets are what people usually see celebrities doing before an awards ceremony.
I think that their usage of the "* Lives Matter" statement was probably a little distracting. They're trying to say that "Orthodoxy" isnt neccesarily universal and that different (large) bubbles have their own orthodoxies

I really can't stand statements like this.

There is more than one dimension in American culture or politics.

There are two political parties. That doesn't mean there are two groups, nor two orthodoxies.

To try to compress American culture to one dimension is rarely useful and often a disservice to peoples' actual opinions or beliefs.
Congrats on the book!

If you are just going to use `TAGBODY` and `GO` to implement this ... in a goto based languages like C I don't think you would be needing a condition system. In C a nested function can also jump into a parents goto label. No one probably uses it, but just saying!

Phase I is just safety ( and a bit of dose range finding ) - does the drug/treatment/vaccine harm or kill people on it's own - small number of people, with varying doses - ideally starting at the low end. You will do some tests to see if you get the expected biological response as a surrogate for efficacy.

Phase II is where you start looking at if it works ( while still looking at safety- always looking at safety ), here you are also trying to typically work out what is the right dosing regime ( how much, how often ).

Phase III is large enough numbers to get population level stats for safety and efficacy, given the treatment regime you have decided on.

Also you don't just need willing people to take the vaccine to do a proper trial, you need the medical infrastructure around it.

People to administer it, keep track of the patients - monitoring them for any signs of adverse reaction - reliable people to take blood samples and handle them properly, proper note and record keeping etc.

The other thing to consider in trials is that roughly half your patients don't get anything ( more accurately a placebo ) - and in the case of vaccine trials, you need to control group to get infected!!! Otherwise you can't see any protective value.

You'd need to choose you control group to carefully reflect the test group - if you had your vaccine test group in New Zealand and your control group in the US - nobody would believe your result.

At the moment people doing trials in America have an advantage in that the virus is still infecting lots of people, so you can more easily demonstrate protection. If you are trying to trials in China - pretty hard.

I don't think lack of volunteers is the problem. If you want to do it ethically, you have to do it incrementally.

Not my favorite essay ever. Most unorthodox beliefs aren't on the list of things you "can't say." A small subset of unorthodox statements might make you the subject of anger from various groups. The essay seems to suggest that anyone who doesn't have a problem with this is ignorant of "orthodox privilege." IMO, that's uncharitable. I think most people understand that it's easier to have orthodox beliefs. The folks who have no problem with cancel culture view the things being cancelled as a bigger problem than the challenge of having heterodox beliefs.

I'll also just note that the vast majority of heterodox beliefs and statements are not on the list of things you "can't say." A small subset of them, especially relating to race and gender, are risky. Maybe there's a good reason for that?

> it denies that anything unfair is happening to people because of their skin color.

Like you did here. In my experience, an "all lives matter" activist is quite happy to both acknowledge racism and have a discussion on the nuance of racial treatment in the United States.

Where the two sides really differ is in their general view of America. Whether its optimistic or pessimistic. Whether its isolated or systematic. Whether its "racial" or "cultural".

To be blunt, its absurd to label a movement which has millions of adherents as a "racist dog whistle". Its either an overt, racist megaphone or just a difference in opinion.
Terraform Examples
The hammer was "only" $435 and that price is really a reporting artifact.

The hammer was part of a larger contract that included spare parts and R&D effort linked to those parts. When the spending was reported, the same absolute amount of R&D ($420) was allocated to every item, inflating the apparent price of a $15 hammer to $435. By the same token, the engineering work on more complicated systems (e.g., an engine) was an absolute steal at $420 and since the total amount of R&D spending was fixed, nobody really got ripped off.
> one of the worlds largest public healthcare systems

Bypassing the fact that the US is a large country so many things will be "worlds largest" without actually carry any significance, being the worlds largest public healthcare system and also one of the worst in the world, says a lot about what a failure it is.
Probably less than that, to be honest. People sometimes say it when it comes to banning abortion, but those same people don’t seem to care for childcare programs or maternal mortality rates.

Note: above comments relative to the insanity that is the USA, of course.
ooh a bait and switch! I was going to talk about how people with different kinds of brains (you think anyone in this forum is on the autism spectrum? no?) have to code-switch and perform the normal cognitive style to be taken seriously...

but that’s not actually relevant, because this post is about “cancel culture”. Should a person get twitter mobbed for admitting that they’re a bigot? probably not! should a person who says “damn that sounds kinda bigoted” to someone famous get mobbed for saying that in public?? No I’d say no to that too.

but we’ve got both sides saying “my mob is good people telling the truth, your mob is cruel trolls running an inquisition” but somehow that devolves into saying “cancel cultures does/doesn’t exist” as if that explained why your mob has the right to wield pitchforks and the other one doesn’t
The most significant safety issues with this vaccine specifically regard the 250ug dose, which was not used in Phase 2 and won't be used in Phase 3.

As long as it's not a Grade 3 fever, I don't see a problem: many vaccines can cause (transient) fevers. (Part of that is due to the adjuvants used to prime the immune system by causing a localized inflammation).

I got a shot for the yellow fever a few years ago and I felt quite bad for a couple of days. When I was asked for a booster shot for measles, I was warned of the possibility of developing fever for a couple of days as well.
Yeah I’ve never heard of women and minorities having less resistance to anxiety as a group. I’m curious where that’s coming from. Certain psychological conditions I could see, but that’s such a broad category that I think that’s also an over generalization.
You're actually both right.

Is it a race to the bottom though?

I mean, a race to the bottom in the normal sense is cutting taxes or spending money on attracting these companies. We help these companies evade other countries' taxes, not our own.

Also, officially, the entities involved in the tax evasion are not related to the entities that actually employ people. Would Google move it european customer support offices without this tax deal? Theoretically, they could take advantage of it without employing anyone in ireland.

It's all horribly ambiguous. I've never really understood how it works.

> The existing API was served on the same domain so the new React website could've directly interacted with it without any problems. But no, this guy wanted to put "GraphQL" on his resume and so introduced an unnecessary extra component and potential point of failure that the company now has to support.

There's a simple solution to this kind of problem: let the resume driven developer use his skills - fire him.
There's a time and follower threshold where it goes from being a bubble to a cultural norm. IMO that threshold has been greatly lowered by all of social media allowing for a relatively quick (compared to hundreds of years of human communication) amassing of followers to form a bubble. In this way, you can mint your own orthodoxy. Having a large number of people following some idea is a powerful force in recruiting others.

And although the threshold has gone down for new bubbles, it has also gone down for when they get removed. It's become normal to churn through a bunch of different bubbles and seeing which one sticks around long enough.
No, it was found that they have a tendency to cam out and it was later claimed that cam-out was a feature not a bug.
About 50% of luxury car owners lease their cars, and 80% of non-Tesla EVs, compared to country wide averages in the 25-30% range. So while most of the Tesla’s sold with FSD are still on the road, a fairly sizable chunk of the 2016 vehicles may already be on their second owner, with the first owner paying for FSD they never got.

Now what’s less clear is how many Tesla owners have re-upped their lease, and how many bought the car they leased. Typically luxury owners lease their cars so they can get the latest features in 3 years, but Tesla hasn’t offered many physical changes to the 3 since it was introduced, with a lot of the changes being done in software.
The causality is backwards. European developers are unable to bid 2 million dollars for a house, which is why they're still cheap (compared to the bay).

Give it time though! The Dublin NIMBYs scream and shout anytime anyone tries to build anything, and then wonder why only tech workers can afford to live in the city centre.
I made the mistake of saying "but police brutality is a general problem, why make it specific to black people rather than try to solve all of it? Isn't it true that all lives matter?", and the person I was talking to basically heard "I'm racist", so it's not only true that it's both true and a racist dog-whistle, but it's also true that after the whistle has been blown, it doesn't matter what else you say.

The whistle should be a red flag, rather than surefire proof that you now know everything the person is going to say, therefore you shouldn't listen any more. I think one of the problems in the US is the pervasiveness of the mindset of "I think you're X, therefore I refuse to listen to anything else you say".
> Not sure what a medical researcher is going to do, plunked down in a country without resources or labs or anything, really, they need to be effective.

It's not clear that this person needs to be a medical researcher. Maybe they need to be an electrical engineer or civil engineer to help build this infrastructure to allow medical researchers to exist. Of course, there's no domestic market for those positions, civil authorities just hire engineering firms from developed countries.

It's also not clear if America needs a supply of this labor from elsewhere. Even if "America" did, if "America" was short on this supply, then wages would rise for the existing labor pool, this would stimulate growth in the other countries for this sector because the market is signaling there is money to be made.

Of course, it's better for American corporations if they can control as much of the talent capital as possible.

Taking in foreign students also distorts the education market place in developing countries. Everyone has heard of MIT, but what is the best engineering university in Kenya? The education industry as a result is underdeveloped in developing countries as well.

We can go into another can of worms about how many students and graduate students are essentially free labor for these institutions, and the 'students' are paying for the privilege. What they really look like to me are unpaid internships under the guise of 'education' in which major universities have a monopoly.
Step outside your statement for a second and consider it in light of PG's essay. Is it possible you yourself are afflicted with orthodox privilege, to the extent where you can't see any legitimate critiques of your own standpoint?

If you continue to allow these statements to polarize and force a false dichotomy that demonizes a group and lionizes another, well, you're not really helping heal the divides either.
Things are very different from one part of USA to another, and even from one social group to another. Though I haven't participated in any social situation where "OMG so excited..." is the norm, it is easy to imaging it exists.
Allow me to elaborate, then. There's an inherent power dynamic in interviews, which creates stress in the interviewees. That effect is magnified for anyone who is unlike their interviewers, who still tend to be white and male. It's magnified still further when the power dynamic within the interview reflect the one that - very unfortunately - still persists in society at large. Lastly, the funny thing about stress/anxiety is that it tends to be additive. Having experienced high levels recently (including in other interviews) makes one more susceptible to new triggers. Thus, anyone who is the least bit "outside" in any way will feel more anxious.

Is any of that even controversial enough to require citation? How many Psychology or Sociology 101 textbooks should I cite? It's easy enough for those who don't feel this kind of anxiety themselves to brush it off, but for those who are less fortunate all those magnifiers can create an anxiety level that's quite debilitating.

> The statement is only raised for the purpose of preventing action from being taken or change being made, in regard to investigation into and prevention of unnecessary deaths of black people. The statement that lots of white people are killed by US police is similarly both true and a distraction.

I'd respectfully disagree on this issue. I think it's possible to be worried about police abuse of force from the context of being a person who is a mere citizen and thus has a lot less rights than the police. No ethnic group has a truly zero chance of dying at the police's hand. Do white people have it better? Yes absolutely. But it's not as though the police only use excessive force against black people.

I think you're missing the possibility that there are conservatives who want police use of force reform too but want to do so in a color/ethnicity agnostic way. The idea that non-black people say 'All lives matter' only to prevent change is probably not correct. And the reactions like the one I quoted above only serve to divide folks rather than find common ground. It's pretty tragic.
There's an "all lives matter" movement?

> its absurd to label a movement which has millions of adherents as a "racist dog whistle"

It's entirely possible (and historically true!) for millions of people to be overtly racist.
