Not reading beyond your first paragraph because I clearly didn’t assert that it’s “designed to facilitate criminals.” That’s a bizarre claim. The talking down tone is also a little much. The problem is the law is merely broad enough to be misused by criminals. There are warnings about uploading road rage/煽り運転 videos from the government and media because the person committing the crime can use the videos against you for ruining their reputation/violating their privacy.
> If your past warnings were ignored and you do not feel that there are any politics / biases / prejudices in active play, it is time to introspect, reflect, and ask:

> “How will I make my case differently next time?”

For me, this usually comes down to "Who will I make my case to next time?" - IE, if you aren't listening to me, making messes that I told you would happen, then expecting me to clean it up, it's time to go. And before someone asks, this has happened more times than I can count.

You can never fully discount politics / biases / prejudices and in general (not just personal bias, but technological bias), I find these are the most obvious answers to how a team makes decisions that are against its own best interest. It very rarely comes down to "I made my argument wrong." If anything, on a good team, even if you make your argument wrong, other people will pick up on it and help to correct the wrong parts, and keep the right parts.

This is a tragedy in its own right. Small businesses create richer communities and help stave off cultural homogeneity. They can be a source of pride for locals. They help de-centralize economic power. I hope we can find a way to rebuild what's being lost here.

This really confused me when I bought an industrial label printer from them. I didn't know what "Amazon Warehouse" was and assumed it was just a used device they used in their warehouse. Didn't get around to using the device for a couple months and it turned on but wouldn't print because the motor wouldn't turn. Too late to return it, and I won't be buying anything from warehouse any more.

Freudian Psychoanalysis is the basis of nothing. Freud never formulated testable, falsifiable hypotheses, and his "theories" were nothing but speculation and pseudoscience, which is why by 1980, US psychiatrists wanting to make their specialization more respectable and evidence-based purged the DSM of all references to Freud.

If anything, it's criticism of Freud and his theories, outside of strictly science-based objections, that is "unsayable":

We punish people for lies that cause harm all the time. Though a bad example to use (because it is dicta unsupported by the law at the time in a particularly repugnant case suppressing core political speech that was later overturned, so that the quote at issue was never part of the substantive case law itself, wasn't particularly supported by the substantive case law, and was issued in a case now widely recognized as having been wrongly decided), the quote you wave your hand in the vague direction of about falsely yelling fire in a crowded theater is also an odd one to raise if you are going to turn around and sneer at that idea.

Apathy towards issues of policy is a political position. You know the political positions, but you became apathetic about the political system.

Good to know. I remember the Tokyo team working on menu item extraction back then, hopefully they managed to make it work. I don't believe we were looking at photo count at all - probably user submitted photos weren't a feature on Maps at the time.

The cross city problem is one of the things I've looked at a lot (I actually wrote a design doc for it at a different company). Even with really good coverage in New York/San Francisco/London/Tokyo due to our teams being based there, it was hard to get significant personalized ranking improvement. Maybe it's better now that they have a lot more data.
Tolerances and path dependence are the fundamental reasons why I've always gravitated towards software and programming rather than building/repairing physical stuff.

It's interesting to me how getting the right physical configuration of something so it's reliable kind of encodes the complex procedure that gets it there.

It's so much harder than a program where you can identify all the parts and modify them in any order. And whenever you make a mistake, you can generally just reach in an fix it, rather than redoing a long disassembly or something.
Graham framing his essay as such is disingenuous, at best:

And the call of the aggressively independent-minded is "Eppur si muove."

In case you had to search for this (I did)[0] It's a reference to Galileo being correct about the Earth orbiting the Sun, and famously so. The presumption of this reference is that "independent" thinkers are right - they are more often wrong. PG seems to presume, or lead the reader to presume, that these thinkers are more right... oddly the rest of the essay avoids the question of conventional wisdom being right.

This is also bad writing. The use of set phrases / quotes in a foreign language without citation is confusing for the reader, and also pedantic.

Yes, my sample size was 1. Its not a big deal that he didn't know. Not everybody knows everything and with a background like that he can be taught. It requires some hand holding on my end but others have held my hand too so its just part of the job.

Its a sad state of affairs for new grads in these consultancies. I have met Math majors from top Canadian universities, physics, and biomedical engineers. They were learning .NET and similar tech that operates at the app layer lol. I think its a waste of brainpower but work is work I guess. They probably couldn't find jobs in their field.

Also, this was in the US and a small sample of their US hires. I don't know too much of how it is in India.

If you're a European, chances are you earn 1/6th of the salary of an equivalently skilled American in tech. That's why they want to move.

Europe screws tech workers.

Would you trade better politics, as you perceive, for millions of dollars less in retirement when considering compounding investments?

In fact, Europeans can earn substantially more money by moving to the UK or Switzerland even. EU countries are some of the worst places to be for a talented software engineer.

New graduates in the US often earn more than senior-level developers in the EU.

> IAM is a concept built on top of lower level primitives that you do not control, but Amazon does.

Of course there are lower level primitives. And if the public documentation and observed behavior is insufficient I encourage you to inquire more about the various compliance, certification, and third party auditing programs in place https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/programs/. However at some point this approaches solipsism and I can’t prove a negative in a HN thread.

> I'm not talking about Amazon SSH into your EC2 instance - but of course they can do that also - at will, without you authorizing it.

No. Extraordinary claims need evidence. Either you have serious non public information counter to many AWS statements ... or you misunderstand some fundamentals of SSH and public key cryptography.

> Lower level disks, logs, hypervisor, telemetry, etc.. are accessible beyond your control

I would encourage you to read the AWS data privacy statements https://aws.amazon.com/compliance/data-privacy-faq/. Particularly the definitions of “customer content” and the “shared responsibility model.”
The Yuan has got quite a few reasons why it isn't a great reserve currency. The main one to my thinking is it is hard to get hold of. This is due to China running a trade surplus and having restrictive currency controls. This doesn't create a stock of freely tradeable currency to trade.
For some reason, something that's always stuck with me is my grandfather asking the priest at my school (it was a church school) "Do you think aliens exist?" and him replying "I'd be naïve to think they don't".

The sheer number of stars seems to make it likely we aren't alone. Whether we're practically alone, and will remain forever separated from our nearest intelligent neighbours, is a more interesting question IMO (though somehow discovering we are completely alone would be fascinating in its own right and raise further questions).
> "Does Twitter (and the users of Twitter) not have the right to avoid association with people whose views they find distasteful?"

Property owners tried the same freedom of association argument in courts a few decades ago because they wanted to deny POC and other protected classes equal opportunity in housing. The answer back then was the Fair Housing Act of 1968, prohibiting discrimination in the sale, rental, and financing of housing based on race, religion, and/or national origin. Perhaps we need the equivalent today: a Fair Communications Act of 2020.

Twitter and other social media networks don't qualify for the private club exemption because they don't meet the criteria; they are quite clearly the online equivalent of, in legal jargon, "public accommodations".

(May I add that seeing progressives recycling discredited arguments used by bigots of various stripes in landmark legal cases to attempt to justify themselves in the present day strikes me as both deeply ironic and more than a little revealing.)
I've seen some people on the left, at least, who are pretty explicit about their denunciation of reason. These types will say things like:

* "don't argue with racists"

* "the Democrat Party is too nice and reasonable. We need to fight dirty like the Republicans. Our focus on truth hasn't gotten us anywhere."

Seems like you lack of understanding about aviation in general.

You know why Piper/Cessna airplanes look exactly the same and keep using 50 year old engines? because of safety.

You know why pilot spends 30min pre-checking the aircraft? safety

You know why getting a pilot license is magnitudes more work? safety

Everything in aviation works around safety. If you want to innovate, sure, go ahead. If you want to innovate and do it safety and reliable, oops, that's going to cost you a lot and that's the same reason why there are not many players in aviation, engineering an aircraft or new powerplant is a big up-front cost with probably little return.

"While I respect Judge Mosman," she added, "I would ask this question: If the state of Oregon does not have standing to prevent this unconstitutional conduct by unidentified federal agents running roughshod over her citizens, who does? Individuals mistreated by these federal agents can sue for damages, but they can't get a judge to restrain this unlawful conduct more generally. Today's ruling suggests that there may be no recourse on behalf of our state, and if so that is extremely troubling."
Freudian psychoanalysis was a core component of orthodox leftwing thought up until fairly recently. His influence on the left was massive, perhaps second only to Marx. The idea that you could get cancelled for endorsing his theories today, even the parts that arguably normalize pedophilia by sexualizing infants (eg, their supposed sexual attraction to opposite-sex parents, or their psychological development being based on a progression of erogenous zones) is silly.
unless you're towing a load up a hill or something

This reminds me of how a lot of people are surprised when they find out the engine of a typical semi-truck has "only" a few hundred HP but several times the displacement of a passenger car engine rated at almost the same power. The car engine will wear out quickly at continuous full load, whereas the semi engine is designed to run at full load continuously. Ditto for engines driving generators and pumps --- full load is normal load.
Unfortunately the comment reeks of some classism (though I share the sentiment). When you ain't got the money to travel to find good food or have a nice meal, it's no surprise people like the consistency of a chain restaurant and have their minds blown when the finally try something from a completely different region and have no frame of reference for flavors. I remeber spending my meager savings in college to try Indian, Thai, and even New York-style Chinese as an adult. It was quite scary to know if I'd like it, and I was even a bit afraid to try new dishes on my budget, or a different restaurant of the same style in the same town because I found something I liked. Luckily a developer salary eventually allowed me to open up to trying waay more foods.

I do however feel it's really odd for restauranteurs to feel the immediate need to tailor flavors for the entire menu to the local palate as if people could never dare eat a pepper or something.
> American college grads are not typically seeking to work as skilled assembly workers in factories.

Certainly, and that is almost entirely reflective of labor market demand. Workers pursue skills that are pertinent to jobs for which there is labor demand.

Reflow soldering and other electronics manufacturing skills are not particularly grueling to learn, but they don't make as much sense in a diversified postindustrial economy where manufacturing is not the target sector for most workers.

The USA has a larger manufacturing sector than Germany, but manufacturing is a smaller proportion of the American economy (12%) than of the German economy (23%).

OK. I need to know how.
> the upper class, aka, the aristocracy

It was a bit wider than that, the US was notable at the time for a highly unusual degree of land ownership. After all, there was a lot of land to steal from the native americans.

Regardless, the US was a democracy before women could vote, and it was a democracy before black people could vote, and it was a democracy before non-landowners could vote. It was a democracy in which many inhabitants didn't truly have full citizenship, but to this day there are millions and millions of people who live in the US (including many citizens!) who cannot vote, and it's still a democracy.

I just feel like leetcode style interviews don't touch the surface of my working experience and capabilities

When you play a game, and encounter a particularly difficult level, do you also feel like you don't have the skills needed to pass this level and therefore you should just give up? Treat the interview process as a game. Everyone plays the same game, and some people are better at it than others, but it's just that, a game. Try to have fun with it. After all, you became a programmer because you enjoy solving technical puzzles, right? Maybe having to solve a puzzle with a timer, and with someone watching you is making you uncomfortable, but it still involves doing what you love and what you're good at. If you can't change the world, change your attitude.

By dismissing companies hidden behind this interview practice you eliminate the majority of good SE jobs. You potentially trade a bad interview experience for a bad job. Is this a good trade?

India devs =! Pakistani devs. India has many large consultancies providing services to mega corps, where sub par talent can hide out for years. Pakistani devs (and other devs in countries that don't have similar dynamic as India) don't have that luxury, so they are on average more highly "vetted".
Yes! California should be free to do what Californians want, but California's desires are not necessarily aligned with the rest of the nation's desires.
