What is the greatest challenge in Talent Acquisition?
I'd say the trans protections are one in a long-running series of examples of US law being written in a clear-cut way that should have protected a given group from the start, but nonetheless 'obviously' didn't at the time because everyone knew what the lawmakers involved 'really' meant.

This dates all the way back to the Constitution, which from the very start had a plain-text reading incompatible with slavery, and yet had a Bill of Rights conveniently not applied to slaves because everybody knew what the writers really meant by 'people'.
What the flying fuck. I've never had more than $10k in my life, and that's a recent accomplishment -- most of my life was a single missed-paycheck away from financial insolvency, and for a brief period, I was actually homeless.

For 14 months I lived on a $2,250/mo salary in downtown Boulder, CO. That meant trying to scrounge free meals from meetups or wherever else would feed me.

The idea of having a million dollars, or even making 200-300k a year is so insane to me. If that isn't rich maybe I missed a memo somewhere.
Terminal bell is something that in my opinion was once great but now overused to the point I turn it off. I remember the time I could just sound a bell on an end of a long running process and that would be it. Today I use a visual/audio notification on the ends of my scripts.

osascript -e 'display notification "Completed!"'
osascript -e 'say "Done"'
Have you considered that Mussolini didn't care about the trains which weren't high-profile trains for elites? The person you're responding to said dictators do what they want efficiently, but don't care about what others want. Was Mussolini even trying to genuinely improve the lower class trains?
I had a similar reaction but there are a few archetypes that are very similar to the duties of an IC. She mentions “Deep Diver” and that’s similar to my current role. I enjoy having systems thrown onto my lap and becoming an expert in them as quickly as possible. Then the organization uses my analysis to decide what to do next: keep it or pivot to a different strategic solution in the long-term. Ideally my deep dives result in useful documentation, code improvements, or process automation to allow the future deep diver to come up to speed quicker than I did.

Regarding C, usually you need to wait a bit post IPO until the investors had opportunity to sell their stock. Only THEN it's your turn. It's called lock-up period and lasts usually 180 days (half a year). Just keep that in mind.

Also during sale, investors might choose to execute their liquidation preferences, which means that your shares might become worthless. Employees who paid hundreds of thousands of USD annually in opportunity cost have no such clauses to get their money back.

I'd say it's the reverse. "Daten sind das neue Gold / Öl!" Because of this they don't use somehing like cell broadcast, but an app-based approach. They just don't dare to say so in public, or don't care at all. Do you honestly expect anything competent from any of the current talking heads, making appearances in the mainstream of the presstitutes catering to the oh so sensitive public?

(Yes, Yes, I know, the German service providers (allegedly) didn't implement it so far, therefore we(allegedly) can't do it. It's not like a superspecial Extrawurst, since it's in use in many other places. I guess, depending on the vendor of the equipment it would be nothing more than a configuration flag to enable, since it's already there, just
needs a license for the feature, or something like that. /ENDRANT)
“Production” is imagined differently by different people. Across millions of devices the unit cost premium of an Arduino scales to a non-trivial amount of money and adds an additional manufacturing pipeline into scheduling and availability.
Isn’t Leslie Lamport a distinguished researcher, not a distinguished engineer? Research tracks are fairly different from engineering ones.
I’ve invested in a few startups. The entire seed round is maybe 1-3 million and you don’t source that from 1 angel. Not only is that on the high end of an angel investment (probably approaching VC), you’d be stupid to only have 1 investor. You want a few to be able to leverage their expertise, advice, and social network.

Also your math is way off as you seem to have forgot about taxes. At 300 total comp, your take home is 150-200 for that and then you have cost of living expenses. You also don’t start at 300 AFAIK - probably closer to 100-200k these days for a CS undergrad.

The later part of your comment is about case law, but that’s just one way to do it. On the other hand, German law specifies huge amount of detail, leaving less for interpretation. I agree that all laws are just tools for the people, like the language in which they’re written, passed through all of human interpretation. However, there is a level of system design to legal systems, reflecting the different cultures and histories.
I saw this unfold on infosec twitter, the CEO really dropped the ball on handling this incident professionally.

The security researcher did nothing wrong here [IMHO], they tried to report a security flaw in the app. CEO got pissed, took it as a attack personally instead of thinking of the responsibility of users safety on the app. (All the while promoting her app as a safe place for users to share sensitive information.[i.e. photos, DOB, address, phone number, GPS location).

Sad to see this type of response; the CEO has a lot to learn from this situation about security for users and how to deal with security researchers.

It’s my understanding that Starbucks universally over-roasts their coffee to keep it consistent. Normally the roast time would depend on each individual batch.

Presumably they over-roast it because the most popular drinks have a lot of sugars and creams (Frappuccinos, etc.) so the coffee needs to be stronger. So, it’s not the over-roasting that makes it consistent, but the fact that every branch roasts it the same way.

Dunkin on the other hand seems to make a serious portion of their income from those boxes and their light roast black coffee, so they maintain consistency with a shorter roast time.

Of course most coffee places have various beans these days and this doesn’t always apply.
Definitely extremely consistent with Amazon’s Principal Engineers. Internal surveys on time spent coding support it.
While I do agree that mixing for records produces a pretty good sounding final product (and for many people the best sounding album), you are still constrained to the laws of physics. If you have a track that’s mixed too hot, you’ll just throw the needle out and get skipping. I’ve heard of this happening with some rock and electronic albums. With a digital release, the whole album can be mixed however the artist wants.

I’m no expert audio engineer, but the dynamic range of vinyl is limited by the space between the grooves. That being said, it shouldn’t have any effect on the quality of the audio, just the difference in volume of the loudest and softest parts.

These processors are great and OEMs could offer features users want, but they've still been offering only mid-range or gamer-oriented builds for everything else.
Posting from Emacs

It works well enough to post in hacker news. You just need to

far as I can tell you can copy the way that org-mode deals with
src-blocks to automate it, but this works well enough for me for
now.

It even works in emacspeak, which is kind of amazing. I have a

> This is a core feature of every ad platform I've seen and is absolutely not a violation of the GPDR since users are giving consent when they signup.

That's not how it works. Hiding the "consent" in the fine print doesn't count, and at least in Germany, it's clear that you need valid consent and can't weasel out of it by claiming "legitimate interest" etc.

I already had a DPA explain this to one of the companies that decided to give my data to Facebook, and the DPA indicated that they were acting on multiple complaints in that regard.

There's a good chance they'll let you get away with a warning the first time if you haven't gotten in trouble before, but especially if you keep doing it (or if they decide that by now, you certainly should have known), expect quickly escalating fines.
If you are OK with a text being not that bad, hmm ... it is your choice. Readability is an extremely important UX concept, not to mention the accessibility in this case. For the current version of the text, people with less than great eyesight have to rely only on the (tiny) trailing dot to visually distinguish between sentences. Having proper capitalization within the context would enormously improve the text's accessibility.

As for "grammar/punctuation, capitalization of acronyms and proper nouns, backtick highlights, and codeblocks", well ... if the text would lack that, it would have been a completely unreadable wall of text.
Sometimes I feel bad for HN, full of all us fleeing Reddittors
The German DPAs have a FAQ on this topic, and they're very clear about the fact that hashing isn't anonymization and doesn't change the fact that you're sharing PII. (The FAQ also mentions that you need consent and can't claim "legitimate interest").
It works badly in most cases. Hacker News and Google are at the limit of what's usable. For a very lose definition of limit.
The constitution as originally written was explicitly in favor of state's being allowed to legalize slavery if they wished.

Tons of aspects, the 3/5 compromise, the electoral college, etc were very intentional pieces of the system to say 'oh don't worry, you as a state will have federal representation even if you don't consider a large portion of your population to really be full people'.

It very plainly allowed for slaves; no reading between the lines necessary.

Why is it that you can't get a car that hasn't had BS click bate "features" added for marketing purposes that inevitably make the vehicle less reliable and in most cases does nothing beneficial. How on earth does having radio communication between components in a vehicle that could end up in all types of radio environment make sense. What are the benefits? It's slower, prone to interference and certainly prone to malicious interference... Who hasn't experienced interference to the bluetooth connection between phone and audio system whilst driving?

> but I can recall a huge amount of my collection pretty much instantly when someone asks me which records I have by artist X, or which records did I buy in 2019.

When I first started buying CDs, in 1992 or so, I kept them in the order purchased. By the time I went to college, I had about 150 albums on one long rack. No groupings by artist, or publish date, or genre, or anything like that. Just ordered by when I acquired them.*

It was a strange system, but I was surprised how easily I could locate any of them, and I think you're right. The tangibility of it.

Now I have probably 20 times as much music on my phone (plus access to everything else on Apple Music). And It's harder than ever to decide what I want to listen to. I strongly suspect I wouldn't have this issue if my entire library was physically in front of me.

(* Things got muddy when I'd get 10 or 12 CDs at a time, by repeatedly joining Columbia House or BMG under new fake names. Those just grouped together in the rack in a random order within the subset)

True, I just registered.
My mom (Republican, lawyer) assured me (trans) that the Court would of course rule that Title VII protects queer and trans people from discrimination, as the plain meaning of the law forbids punishing employees for not conforming to gender stereotypes. She said that the conservative justices, being textualists, would agree.

I laughed it off and thought she was drinking the Kool-Aid, but damned if she didn't read the future. Kavanagh forsook textualism, but Gorsuch wrote for the majority, using exactly the language my mom argued.
Who's records (new music) were you buying in the early 2000's?
Genuine question; I cant recall anyone selling releases on vinyl around then.
This is a very 2020 defense. It just might work. Depends on the jury.
The saturation applied to a lot of pressings (which gives vinyl its supposed warmth) usually adds weight to the low frequencies and rounds off some of the high frequencies so I can't really see that translating too well to something with such a wide dynamic range. It's far from a perfect representation of the recording.

Perfect sound quality isn't really why you should be buying vinyl - there's far too many points of failure in the signal chain from the pressing of the record, the stylus, the preamp and the speakers.

You'd be better off getting a nice soundcard and playing CDs or 24 Bit WAV/AIFF files from your laptop.

Quote by John Peel.

“Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don’t have any surface noise. I said, ‘Listen, mate, life has surface noise'”

People do all kinds of things for different reasons, and when talking about large groups -- network engineers, security professionals, &c -- you really can't boil down the group and distill the traits of the individual.

Early in my career, when I did a mixture of systems administration and security, my mentor on both of those things was a super-chill, skinny-as-they-come mega-pothead. Exact opposite of a control freak.

Dude was wicked smart, though, and the security mindset that he helped me build has paid dividends over the years.

Personally, I went into management precisely because I worked for a few "control freak" types, and felt that I had a sort of moral duty to build teams free of that sort of environment, even if it meant that I had to swap my text editor for a calendar.

I know many other managers with a similar backstory. None of us want to be the PHB.

As an aside, if anyone reading this is looking at management: look to nudge, rather than control. We learn by making mistakes, and sometimes, you actually do need a report -- or maybe even the entire team! -- to make a mess and clean it up, because the process of doing so will make them stronger, and will benefit your organization in the medium-to-long term.

As with all things, there are trade-offs to be made and balances to be struck! But one of the biggest mistakes I see new managers make is investing the bulk of their energy in preventing mistakes, instead of building a team that can recover-and-adapt quickly.

(Also, a nit, which you might not have noticed: "respect they are due")
Yes but there is a chance of them actually providing an incredible service in exchange.

> Existing contract law is perfectly capable of handling two adults agreeing to a mutually beneficial set of restrictions.

I think you'll find that most people - and a number of leading law experts - don't consider click through EULAs for valid binding contracts and clicking next is not the same as signing.

You'll also find that many (most? I stopped reading EULAs years ago) contains something about "the following might not be applicable in your jurisdiction".

Besides, just think of it: can a click on a button, placed in a way that makes it easy to click through for someone who accepts the defaults, can such a click really be considered a meeting of minds?

And do we really think people can be expected to read a number of pages of dense legalese? I remember one EULA filling 13 A4 pages with text in a small font after I gave up and printed it two decades ago when I was young and still believed they were valid.

Besides: Expecting non lawyers to read and understand legalese is as crazy as expecting non programmers to read basic Java or Python: within reach for many after basic self study, but still not something I'd bet much money on random people being able to do on the fly.
And this is the civic code smell that makes things like the treatment of the Bill of Rights such a disgrace. When the case law gets to the point that the statute it is based on can no longer be credibly described as being adhered to, there's a major problem. That goes for many other Amendments enshrining much less controversial rights than the Second which in my opinion is the most aggregious and flagrant semantic violation of all of them. If you can't even honor straightforward simple language to the point where you have an entire caste of humanity who specialize in navigating the morass created by taking carefully crafted and expressive language, and letting someone take whatever they want out of it without question or reconcilation at a later time.

It breeds contempt. Contempt breeds disaffection, disaffection leads to civil breakdown and unrest, unrest leads to... Well you get the picture.
I like this one, too. The moment the people are your adversary in a technical discussion, you have probably lost sight of the actual problem. Much of the time I find it's misaligned incentives or, as Amy wrote here, sometimes it's people working with obsolete context or old grudges. Reframing yourself first, and then the discussion, is very much the way to succeed.
You are too pessimistic.

Negotiations ain't so hard. It's mostly down to BATNA, ie best alternative to negotiated agreement. Why would you want a union?

Do your homework to figure out how much your skills are worth on the market; get multiple companies into the offer stage; then more or less just let them know your demands and let them know that you are more than prepared to walk away if they don't agree.

That's it.

If they decide to call your bluff, then you really just walk away. That's why you want to have multiple companies in the offer stage at the same time, and also want to start interviewing before your old job becomes unbearable.

> They may be correlated with race, but correlation != causation. Poor people shoplift more than the well off, but that has nothing to do with race, it has to do with the culture.

What I said had nothing to do with correlation vs causation. What I said was that "variables that a priori have nothing to do with race (e.g. where you live, how much money you make, etc.) are highly correlated with race." I'm speaking of signals and information theory. The point is allowing variables that combine to be equivalent to allowing the variable of race ends up being the same thing.

Do you understand my point?

> Blacks commit sexual assaults and rapes at a way higher level than Whites and other minorities, even when accounting for income.

Presumably you mean that blacks are _convicted_ (or maybe arrested) for sexual assaults and rapes at a higher level (since obviously what they do are what they are convicted of doing are not the same thing).

Anyway alright fine I do believe that. Do you believe such a general fact has anything to do with individuals and their likely future actions? How? Why?
"GPT-3 is a marvel of engineering due to its breathtaking scale. It contains 175 billion parameters (the weights in the connections between the “neurons” or units of the network) distributed over 96 layers. It produces embeddings in a vector space with 12,288 dimensions."

I don't know much about AI, though I do know about programming, and to me this vaguely smells like "our program is so great because it has 1 million lines of code!"

Does the number of parameters, dimensions, etc, really have anything to do with how breathtaking and marvelous something like this is?
