The Antitrust Hearing, the Role of Congress, CEO Questions
I once applied for a company here in São Paulo where after the technical interview (no whiteboard) I talked on-site with the CTO and he passively-agressively asked a bunch of random questions and tried very hard to be a dick about it ("oh, you consider yourself a good self-learner? French? I bet you couldn't read some news in French if I opened any here right now. JUST KIDDING")

At the end of this 40 minute nightmare I had a bizarre homework to do at home that involved writing a list of uses to a paperclip.

They took a month to send me an email saying I wasn't accepted.

Thanks for reading and sharing your experience! I go to a gym that's in Northwood Mall, and there are a couple other businesses survive. I should've written about that one too, wish I could've seen it back in the day. The City just bought Northwood and they're turning it into a big police station.
That’s tantamount to saying as long as you don’t share your opinions, you’ll be fine. (That’s the conclusión people have reached, hence the article.) A huge amount of our communication is digital. Neighbors talk to each other over Nextdoor. Coworkers email, slack, and zoom. People whip out their phones to record strangers behaving badly/strangely/in an arbitrary way they don’t like. Any of that can and does get posted online and it doesn’t matter how irrelevant your online presence might have previously been.

Nothing about internet broadcasting is new. We’ve been doing that for decades. People were already talking on forums and Usenet in the 90s, which could be easily shared with a link or televised. In 2010 Facebook had been open to the public for 4 years and Twitter had millions of tweets each day. We didn’t see this same type of mass mob behavior back then. Diversity of opinion was far more tolerated, and the majority of internet users today developed an online presence of some kind in this environment.

Now in 2020, even those past posts can incite the mob, regardless of whether they were controversial or not at the time.
I agree with you. So when the poster I’m replying to says “made with parts” in China, I think they mean designing the pcb the bom. Which isn’t true as many of these are designed elsewhere but assembled in China (though some are designed there too) But it’s also not about assembly or design of the ICs themselves.
The mars rover does have a spectrometer. It's called ChemCam [1], it uses a laser to vaporize a small amount of matter and them captures the spectrographs of the resulting plasma with a camera. That doesn't take away from your point, but it is a cool piece of equipment.

I had the same experience on some vague Postgres question for a Rails job when I was junior. I asked a similar question along the lines of: how often do you use this day to day here?

Similar response.
https://threema-forum.de/ was migrated to "WoltLab Suite Forum" a while ago. I didn't know that software before, but everything seems to work really nicely. Still has the classic forum features but it doesn't feel like it's from 1999. (Note: It's not open source and costs 100€ per year to license. I'm not affiliated in any way, just a user.)
The protestors and rioters are largely indistinguishable. The former do not renounce & expel the latter. The former provide cover for the latter. Legally, each individual is culpable for the act of the mob, the mob is culpable for each individual.

I am curious as to the niceness point. Are you sure he randomly decided not to show up? Perhaps he and management had a quiet agreement where when his chronic diarrhea showed up he stayed home. Work is informed but when you ask they make up some excuse, we don’t want to hurt his feelings, but really that is just the way of not telling you as his medical history is personal and not your business.
David Shor probably got fired because they did not have a disclaimer on their account expressing these are just their opinions.

I once had an employer come after me when I posted a Medium article because of this. Medium appends your bio at the bottom which said, "Working at X, top 25 largest bandwidth consumer."

Employer argued that I was representing the company's opinion and had breached a clause in my employer contract.

The easiest way to interpret this is that the market cap size is what investors expect the market share to be in about 2,3 years. That is that Intel would have about 70% share compared to something like 90% today.

PE or net income is not really relevant for AMD as they are in very high growth phase (and because their gross margins are fine). The most important thing here is that Intel is failing to execute on the upcoming fab process which will unequivocally make them less competitive from 2021 - 2023 (at the very least). The uncertainty of Intel being able to execute here on out is also impacting their share price since they have had a long history of failing to execute on 10nm and now on 7nm.
It is also becoming clear that bread has come after beer, which has come after gruel.

The theory is that gruel from wild grains came first, where soaking them helped to soften them up for consumption. Leaving gruel sit there in certain conditions starts fermentation, so beer making probably followed closely after. There is evidence that larger scale cultivation of grains precedes bread, so it is an interesting thought that we owe the switch to (semi-)sedentary lifestyles to beer ;)
It takes quite a bit of grains to produce bread, so it makes sense that bread was only developed once there was a large amount or surplus of grains available.
It’s hard for me to understand the value proposition of self experimentation.

Probabilistically, It sounds like best case you’re looking at a small level of immunity. Worst case, you’re looking at enhancement.

Doing this to yourself proves little more than you are willing to take a moderate risk. The behavioral changes noted at the end about a change in perception seem particularly dangerous. Assuming you might have immunity makes you behave somewhat riskier. And, if the experiment causes enhancement, combined with your lowered inhibition sounds like a death sentence.

I’m all for moving fast in many things, but I just don’t see how direct human experimentation provides any scientific benefit at this point. Besides, medical sciences that move fast Have the highest likelihood of additional harm/death.
No one claimed the opposite.
> this article says that a second grade reader can learn a new word after being exposed to it just a couple of times, but I'm not having that level of success to new characters I read in my passages.

This tracks with some self reports for the most advanced L2 language learners though, that your ability to learn new words itself improves while you are learning new words. Maybe just requires a ton of exposure.

MattVsJapan talks about drilling vocab early on, then once he hit a certain level, he could often just look up a new word once and know it almost indefinitely, more like with English.

2nd grade is, what, 8 years of immersion? Exposure to something like 100-250,000 sentences, with practice or exposure for all available hours every day? It's a lot to catch up to.

Even so, with 2nd graders, we're not talking like "perspicacity" or "abrogate." Some words and some concepts will be harder than others.

So there are no barriers to free speech, no laws to be enforced against people saying pretty much anything, but polling indicates people "feel" they "cannot" express their true beliefs.

I'm pretty sure the first amendment has nothing to say about feelings.

Well-developed vaccines, like every FDA-approved vaccine in the US, are good and save lives.

Just trying something some dude (however well-credentialed and intelligent) whips up in his lab strikes me as patently absurd. What, you think it’s more likely that this dude just happens to hit on the cure first try than you’ll have an adverse immune response? There’s a reason we test things.

Not to mention - MIT Tech Review publishing this as if it’s legit science is irresponsible. You know why they posted a white paper and not a journal article? Because it’s unpublishable.

We have medical testing processes to avoid accidents, medical misinformation, and snake oil. At a time when all 3 are on the rise, failing to point out the obvious dangers of individual medical experimentation only undermines the actual scientific method. We’re not going to biohack our way to a vaccine.
Yeah, conservatives can get less afraid of pushing their malarkey when they stop spreading it. I do not care if they and their libertarian friends get "cancelled" because after four years of Trump they've truly shown their colors as the vile politicians they are.

The real issues today are all the civil riots occuring on the streets of America, the government violating the civil rights of its own people, and the media turning the blind eye on it because all of it is inherently biased. "Cancel culture" is a bunch of dead air.
> As far as I understood, the distaste for the support of the drug in the context of Covid-19 was that it hasn’t been proven to be the “miracle cure” some people have touted it to be.

No, it's that in the various clinical trials, it keeps showing no improvement over existing treatments. It's not just not a miracle cure, the evidence is that it's not a useful treatment for COVID-19.
There is now only a single safe way to exist in the public sphere:

- Anonymously over the Internet.

A private text, a public tweet, a personal blog post or video, anything caught by a camera without your consent or awareness. All are susceptible of being used to ruin your life if a large enough group of people are willing to.
I've been thinking about this exact same problem. I also think that unthinkable for one person is not necessarily unthinkable for another - because people tend to create their own mental models, however robust or limited, to help them understand things. Sometimes the reason I have a difficult time learning something is simply because I haven't found the right mental model.

Oh, and human language is a subpar medium to transfer thoughts and ideas.

The effects of finding new mental models can be profound. It spurs advances in science but probably also has the potential to reposition our thinking when it comes to more abstract concepts like existence, god, etc. I think we can become an overall wiser species by searching for the mental models that fit us best.

> "freedom from consequence"

Hiding behind the word "consequence" doesn't fool anybody, you know. It's well understood that it refers to doxxing, intimidation, and attempts to injure the subject's livelihood by inducing their employer to terminate them without cause, none of which is legal.
Funny you should say that. I speak French, and always thought Computer was better than Ordinateur (and yes, it's ordinatEur, it's not a dinosaur :D )
It is easy to terminate straight white men under 40. Anyone else is extremely difficult anywhere with an HR department. Protected classes are taken very seriously.

Justify the practice? I'm the one arguing that Amazon is too large and we need better labor laws to protect workers, but the public isn't helping the matter by crying, then buying stuff on Amazon.

Yes laws exist for a reason, but I dont need a law to tell me stealing and murder is bad. While that's an extreme example, it's to prove that people need to own up to their own decision making if they want to complain. You shouldn't need your mommy around to tell you to do the right thing or who to associate with. Be an adult and be proactive.

> dangerous to take unsupervised

That's not what anyone is suggesting, and it seems disingenuous for you to suggest that it is. The drug is well-known, and it's reasonable to attempt its use when there's the potential for a large success rate. The people "hoarding" it are doctors who can get prescriptions for it - and who I imagine know more about the drug than you or I do.

Based on the Ford study [1], the 10-50% success rate might be a confusion with the hazard ratio reduction, which was 66%. The actual in-hospital mortality rates in that study were 20% with hydroxychloroquine + azithromycin vs. 26% with neither. I'd say a 6 percentage point difference in lives saved is enough to warrant further investigation.

Current high temps is a weird focus. (Hobart gets pretty chilly in winter; I've personally experienced snow in Ballarat. Meanwhile, in snowy upstate NY, I've also personally experienced a 70 degree F Christmas Eve. Temps vary!)

The key point is this: Australia's winters get cool enough to have a distinct cold/flu season every year.
I can sympathize with that. Unfortunately, the opinion of the supreme court is a force to be reckoned with, whether we agree or not.

That's because it's not. "could be evicted over the next four months" is the phrasing in the article, and its wildly unlikely.

Look at the posts at /r/realestate. They show the Redfin/Zillow statistics and people selling their houses for more than last year in every major metro area I've been interested in. There's also a lot of concern that lack of construction during covid will lead to a shortage.

If there's going to be 11M households evicted, why are real estate prices doing better than ever? Because all of America is clueless except this one brilliant Fast Company journalist?

> They have done an amazing job of putting the customer first when everyone else was trying to figure out new ways to screw people over and tell them it was their fault.

They used to do an amazing job at putting customers first.

Then once they got traction, they pivoted to putting themselves first by commingling inventory with random resellers who can insert counterfeit or bad product into their inventory. They even went so far as to remove the option to filter for products only shipped and sold by Amazon.com.

They did this because retail margins suck and they would rather collect 15% for being a platform rather than a few percent accept and they get to shed all the inventory risk as a retailer. So now they’re just a more expensive Aliexpress, as far as I can tell.

> That’s not what is going on. News broadcasters are denouncing it as dangerous,

It is dangerous, it has significant side effects. It is worth it for things where it has therapeutic utility, but clinical trials for it in COVID-19 keep coming back showing no benefit.

> A drug with a 10-50% success rate will still save a lot of lives.

It would. But one with no measurable benefit won't.

> This drug already saves millions of lives.

Perhaps; it is certainly useful for treating certain conditions that aren't COVID-19, and it should continue to go to people who need it for things it is effective in treating. No one is saying it's a bad drug, just that the evidence is that it's not a useful drug for treating COVID-19.

Was Vatican II a Bad Seed?
I figured this out when I discovered hyperoperators and spent a good day or so telling everyone "two and two are always four!"
Except most companies give the take home as essentially a first line screen so the chance of passing is low (as they need to filter out 90+% of applicants with it). So instead of spending an hour per company I now need to spend 8. When you're talking to 10+ companies that adds up quickly. If you also have a family and a a day job it becomes untenable very quickly.
Which is why I only mentioned lowercase l. 1 in some (especially serif) fonts looks like l and in some others (especially sans serif) like I. Definitely not okay in general.
At the same time, there is no evidence that this kind of illegal "kidnapping" has really happened. To even push back slightly on this narrative it to "support fascism" in some circles, which is a pretty dangerous position. Yep, pretty sensible to be nervous all around right now.

You're talking about predicting the future correctly and making the right tradeoffs. Being future oriented means trading off short term goals for long term ones; preparing for the future says nothing about whether we are prepared in hindsight.

You can use "future oriented" to mean being prescient or omniscient, but I think that's a useless way to define the word, because it's not a thing that exists.

The US invasion of Iraq was a drastic pivot of the US towards a more future oriented foreign policy, and I assume we would agree it was a huge mistake, right?

WeWork was a tremendously future oriented company, that wanted to be everything to everyone, but it wasn't, and won't be, the next Amazon.

It would be bad for society for similar projects to suck up all the resources in preference to short term needs.

I really doubt Tiktok's founder has that sort of leverage/power over the Chinese government. The current Chinese regime makes rational decisions, I doubt they'll think banning Tesla and Apple in order to protect Tiktok is worth it from a cost/value ratio point of view.

Huawei is way more valuable to the Chinese government, and they didn't ban US companies in retaliation either.
I think it was (mostly) just a joke about how many language features C++ has by implying they've never turned down a feature request.
Not that that's a real physics paper, but HN has many former physicists; for example, my Ph.D. thesis had the words "three body problem" in it, and it wasn't about Chinese science fiction.
It's more akin to publishing an obnoxious letter to the editor in a 20th century newspaper.

- The circulation was limited but everyone in the blast radius was aware of the affront. Just like today's echo chambers.

- It would generate a huge response from readership. Because people were aware and knew they could involve themselves.

- That could get someone fired. The opinion writer included.

- It could make the newspaper stop accepting any more submissions from the person, often because the paper felt social and economic pressure. Deplatforming!

- It could also focus attention on a problem and get a community involved. Just like social media today.

Communication in ye olde 20th century had roughly the same dynamics. Probably because it was among people.

I gave up on delicious a long time ago, after it has changed hands several times and the code-base had reverted to a steaming pile of pre-web-2.0 shit. The browser extensions has all mostly died a long time before, and mobile apps were non existent. I tried every replacement, but nothing was quite like delicious was in the glory days.

Then raindrop.io appeared. It's another one-dev project, but it's like a polished delicious, has working browser extensions, and even it's own mobile app. Worth a look, no affiliation. (Now if only I could figure out whether it's created by the GRU cyber division to gather intelligence )
