Having worked for Exxon and Raytheon the salary premium for the same position was substantial compared to Google and Facebook, to the point I was getting paid one level above what I would have otherwise.

F&G make up a lot of the compensation in stocks so total comp looks great. The benefits in Exxon (and Raytheon) were insane, car, house and international schooling were paid and I ended up in hospital for unrelated reasons and paid $0 on a >$500k bill.
> You can criticize, pointedly even, the way that Yelp proposes to enforce this policy; especially in light of their controversial business practices.

Like I said, criticize how they implement it.

But I think it's evident how disingenuous your comparisons are by the examples you've chosen. Witchcraft, communism... neither are provable actions you can "commit". They are thought crimes. Racism is something you commit against a people or persons, is provably true.
Being accused of racism is much more deleterious than of bad service.
I’m a fan of the Sun-Gazette in the DC area, personally. I’ve heard good things about the State-Journal Register, too.

Forgive the snark, but the existence of unreasonable organizations does not preclude the existence of reasonable ones. And even unreasonable ones are not incapable of reason. Applies to people within the orgs, too.
> Basically, if you make RPCs, breaking up your repositories or combining your repositories doesn't eliminate this problem.
I kinda agree with this.

But as someone who has always worked in a microservice environment kept by different git repos I don't understand the benefits of a mono repo. I can see the benefits of a mono repo in a massive code base that produces a binary at the end (i.e. windows). But could you elaborate more on the benefits of a mono repo in the case of many small microservices?
The cookbook analogy falls apart as soon as you question whether creativity is implied. Sure, there is some creativity in putting "cookies" and "bundt cake" together in the Dessert chapter. Is there really any creativity in putting "log" and "pi" in the Math package?

APIs aren't cookbooks, they are toolboxes, and Oracle is claiming to own the idea of putting your Flathead next to your Phillips
So when CNN and MSNBC call that smiling trump kid a racist and assumed he was wrong, we were supposed to believe they had honest intentions from the start?

Newspapers have retractions. Yelp has an extortion policy to remove bad reviews. And you can bet they won't remove that flag even if there are 30 retractions.
You wouldn’t understand the temporarily embarrassed millionaires here. It’s also American to be horrified by my compatriots willingness to accept the bare minimum they receive as good as it gets.
Yeah, I hear you.

I much enjoyed this adventure story.
That’s not quite what they’re doing. But it doesn’t really matter. As a society, we have already very clearly established that as a perfectly acceptable threshold for upholding an accusation of racism.
Everyone here is missing the most important concept in semiconductor manufacturing: binning and yield [1]. They're interconnected.

It's not like Intel can make 5.4 GHz chips for days on. It doesn't work that way. Ofcourse they can manufacture processors capable of some ridiculous 6.0 GHz (not accounting for power consumption)... but that would be 0.1% yield. You cannot run a factory like this.

Nope, this is what dopes everywhere think. It’s scary to ask for more, so you assume you’re getting a fair slice of the pie and never even bother to ask to see the whole thing, much less ask for more. This is the same thought that complains about pro athletes holding out for more millions while never considering how their sport makes billions.
I think you'd have a hard time making a large FPGA actually part of a CPU die due to area. A peer on the memory bus ala CCIX on the other hand...

Microcode strikes me as the natural way to define arbitrary instructions.

I think Facebook and Palantir have to increase compensation to get the same level of talent. The person you replied to formulated it in the inverse way.

Also yes, in general if you work in a nonprofit for a charitable cause you'll likely make way less money. Google et al are certainly not nonprofits, but they aren't in the "evil" businesses of defense/mass population manipulation either, at least not to the degree that Facebook and Palantir are. They are somewhere in between.
Can Waymo cars do left turns into traffic? A few years ago I saw a Waymo car in Mountain View attempting a left turn across Rengstorff and the traffic was pretty bad. I would personally be terrified if I had to trust an algorithm to properly navigate that situation.
Provable how?

Video recording? Easily manipulated.

First-hand accounts? Easily fabricated.

Even then, what exactly are you proving? It is unclear what racism even means to this political faction, as we can tell with white silence is violence and similar slogans. Merely choosing to not repeat a political slogan is characterized as racism.

As always, the proper solution is via actual legal channels and laws against discrimination, not a tech website that brands people. If a business is demonstrably racist, sue them and you’ll win in court. That’s how the legal system works.
This surely isn’t always or even usually the case. A local business owner recently made some racist comments on Facebook and ended up seeing a massive lines of people in MAGA gear in the following days.
It's a good thing that Yelp will not be doing that then:

Yelp’s User Operations team already places alerts
on business pages when we notice an unusual uptick
in reviews that are based on what someone may have
seen in the news or on social media, rather than
on a first-hand experience with the business. Now,
when a business gains public attention for reports
of racist conduct, such as using racist language
or symbols, Yelp will place a new Business Accused
of Racist Behavior Alert on their Yelp page to
inform users, along with a link to a news article
where they can learn more about the incident.
Launch HN: Customization of covers for prostheses in 3D in KS
Hello, I am Brian co-founder of coleg.co, a company that creates customization for prosthetic covers, using 3d printing, our future plan is to automate customization processes, making it easier and accessible to all people to have custom-made products, with 3d printing.

We have just launched the covers, for prosthetics we have been working on it for a couple of years, and we are launching the customization platform, in kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coleg/colegco-custom -amputee-prosthetic-covers we have not had the traction that we expected, we know that it is a niche product, and I would like to take the opportunity to ask the entire community for help, publish in your networks and with your connections, to help us spread our work. I hope you try our platform and design and like it at coleg.co
Thank you very much for your time,

The Yelp reviews are already coming in .... power to the mob!

At some point all these Billions from Tech companies funding increasingly fringe woke ideas, will backfire, when the equity for all mob takes power, and aims directly at the billionaire tech oppressors.

(Supposing you're a banker...)

If you extract a fee in exchange for protecting me from fraudulent behavior that is only possible in the first place because your institution has failed to keep pace with modern security practices, are you really helping me?

If what I want is transparency, is doing additional paperwork to create a (hopefully accurate) second source of truth for what happened really a better alternative than just letting me see it right there in the ledger?

Suppose you maintain the ability of my government to freeze my assets in cases where it decides that I'm an enemy. Is the protection I receive from its enemies adequately offset by the corrupting factor that this power will have on my government?

You maintain a system where the cumulative interest on a house purchase is often several times the cost of the house. Do you think that this amplifying factor on class stratification is going to lead to a society that's stable enough for me to plan to retire?

Whatever problems bankers solve for society, they solve them because otherwise we'll notice how superfluous the bankers are. I'm not saying that we should abandon our current system just yet, but I am quite happy that in cryptocurrency it finally has something to compete with.
Hm! Stripe may have (mistakenly?) flagged them for fraud. Could you email me details of those charges at edwin@stripe.com and I can double check?

If you replace “political” with “intellectual” or “social” or “philosophical” I’d agree with you. If you start challenging larger assumptions, you might get a few new insights, but the danger is ending up in the swamp of post-modernism that would make Napoleon’s march to Moscow look like a productive use of time and resources in comparison.
Thank you good catch. Yes, they were flipped unfortunately.
Intel historically hasn't been too big in the console gaming market, at least CPU-wise. Previous generations we've got players like IBM making the chips for the Xbox 360, PS3, and GameCube. AMD made the CPUs on the Xbox One and Playstation 4, along with the upcoming Xbox Series X and Playstation 5.

The only somewhat modern game console I can recall with any Intel Inside was the original Xbox, with what was essentially a Pentium III Coppermine CPU. Other than that, they haven't really been a player in console gaming for nearly twenty years.

They will really begin to feel the pinch from these latest Ryzen CPUs in the desktop gaming market. AMD had definitely been eating more and more of the value market, but Intel had still been holding the IPC/clock rate wins so it often had a little bit of an edge over AMD for those who don't mind to spend a little premium to get the highest framerates. This launch may make this no longer be true.

Poll: How do you indent your Python code?
Not just tabs vs. spaces. :-)

If you use spaces, I am curious to know how many spaces.

If your company requires one style but you prefer another, I'm more interested in your personal preference.

I'm not really looking for an argument over why one style is better than another. But if you have a well thought out reason for your preference, that would be interesting to hear about.

Thanks from a curious Python programmer!

Absolutely wonderful news! Congrats to everyone involved.

Kudos to Apple for following through.

I hope this sets the standard for companies going forward.
I'm tangentially familiar with the process, so let me paint a picture.

Imagine you have enough high-quality candidates such that you could have every single employee interviewing candidates all day every day, doing no other work. What do you do?

In the real world, most engineers top out at one or two phone screens a week, and/or one or two on-site interviews a week. Sometimes more. Each is 45 minutes at least, usually an hour. Each involves writing deliberate, thoughtful feedback and a professional assessment. Candidates that do well lead to decision meetings that take more time for all the interviewers to discuss -- candidates that do poorly can circuit-break.

Then there is scheduling! Is there physical space available for the candidate to interview? Can we get all the necessary interviewers? What if one or more of them can't make it (sick, etc.)? What if the candidate needs to reschedule? Time zones? Holidays?

Imagine Stripe has 100 recruiters (this is at least accurate within an order of magnitude). What does the back-of-the-napkin math look like for their maximum interviewing bandwidth?

Hiring is a really hard problem, even for well-equipped organizations. Even the best in the world do it badly sometimes. And the anecdote cases tend to shout the loudest. Maybe you had a typo on your resume. Maybe other candidates looked better. Maybe there is a nasty rumor about you. Maybe the recruiter was having a bad day. Or maybe you were just unlucky and arbitrarily cut.
That’s fair - if CNN is covering a rando restaurant, things have gotten out of hand. Probably best just to block reviews for that restaurant, no? Because that’s what the feature is.

Regardless, CNN doesn’t often cover these stories. Local news does. And local news doesn’t suck.

Btw, please forgive the snark, but a complete lack of faith in local journalism (I.e. a conflation of CNN and the Altoona Mirror) is a big reason cable news has a lot of power.

TLDR - support local journalists!

Write a letter by hand and address it to the CEO of the company. It'll have much more of an impact and will definitely reach the ears of the employee you recommend as well. I heard of this happening a number of times in Royal Caribbean where a staff member went above and beyond, a family member was working there and received a number of these types of letters; apparently they went straight into the employee's file and definitely impacted their promotion opportunities (in a good way).
Dunno, I’m not sure I’ve ever loved a company enough that I wouldn’t take a six month windfall not to leave?
Hilariously, if it's a work computer, and your employer uses office365 for email, etc, those accounts don't work.

ok...so the government approves acquisitions, and then later regrets those decisions.

Great way to send shockwaves through the M&A space with governing incompetence: rather than pass reasonable legislation and/or empower an existing department, just have a political theater of a committee process which selectively picks those who haven't lobbied enough _not_ to get in front of that committee.

Yes they are verbs in the sense that the object is not "red" but "actively red'ing" -- if one looks at the onomatopoetic language of Japanese it becomes clear that many things are memetic and more similar to the "live photo" transient glimpse of motion than a static trait.

It says it only covers the BMP, which aligns with my expectations that common font formats can't contain enough characters to define all printable characters in Unicode.

Edit: Ah, I see, they use more fonts for higher points - but haven't covered everything yet? Aren't there already font families that cover everything? I was under the impression that Source Sans Pro does.
Oof, that is a complicated question to answer. In short, outside of EO 12333, there is the Constitution, other Executive Orders, federal statutes (e.g., Foreign Intelligence and Surveillance Act, Intelligence Authorization Act(s), etc.), case law, etc. which would have to be considered as part of that process.

I highly recommend taking a look at the Intelligence Community Legal Reference Book published by ODNI [1]. If you're into that kind of stuff, it is a fascinating read.

>These posts always skip over the problem of the GUI. Compared to macOS, I've never found a Linux desktop even remotely as good, and the problem on the BSDs is even worse. Then there are the details that everyone seems to miss, like the fact that OpenBSD has no bluetooth support at all.

90% of the time it's from people who just do coding on the backend and/or web development, plus use web and mail.

If you work or have hobbies that have to do with photography, music, audio editing, video, multimedia in general etc, it's more of a wasteland.

E.g. when it gets to DAWs your options get very limited, very fast (BitWig, Reaper, iirc, and some FOSS ones that are not up to the task). Same or worse for VSTs.

They way modern CPU design works is that the development team maintains a cycle-accurate software model of the CPU. Changes can be made to the pipeline and memory system, those changes simulated against a real workload, and results reported without ever laying a single transistor. These models are part of the secret sauce to figuring out how to eek out 19% IPC. Yes the simulations are slow. But you can get a lot of value out of 50k or 100k simulated clock cycles.

It used to be until really recently that we showed respect for our elders.

In 7000 years of existence, most major cultures that survived gave hero-like status and higher offices to elders that survived to old age.

They were the source of knowledge, experience and truth.

It is only in our degenerate times in which we think 71yr olds are more than a hindrance and less of an asset.

We turn around and instead give a platform to a 15 year old Greta who could not even narrate what it is like to have a baby and has no clue about life.
We send 18yr olds to collegr to criticize the foundations of western society. They are still living off their parent's dime.

s/Facebook/FAANG/g
Banned means that an account's posts are killed, and only users with 'showdead' turned on in their profile can see them (with the exception of posts that enough users vouch for as good, which certainly hasn't happened in this case). If you turn on 'showdead' on, you're committing to see the worst of what the internet has to offer. If you don't want to see the bottom of the barrel, turn off the setting and you won't.

We don't delete posts outright except when the user who posted it asks us to. So yes, banned accounts can continue to post, except the posts go into [dead] status immediately, which removes them from public view. Only the tiny minority of users who've signed up for 'showdead' see them.

That balance is the best we can hope for on a site that allows anyone to create an account. If we stopped banned users from posting altogether, they'd just make a new account, and post the same stuff except now they wouldn't be banned anymore. Edit: In other words, it's an optimization problem and this seems to be the optimum, even though it's not entirely satisfactory.
I think the fact that you can copyright which recipes are in a cookbook is on the level of an API, which is why I think its absurd the government grants exclusive ownership for such a thing. I don't know how we got to this point where we think any of this is a natural or sane state of affairs.
One keen insight I have had recently into the stratification between mathematics and language is that language immediately presents the 5 or 6 main "Who, what, when, where, how," as we introduce more language. Mathematics can start with few axioms or many. Taking those points in mind, I think there can be a lot of similarity when thinking around an equals sign and the verb is/to be.

As always, the proper solution is via actual legal channels and laws against libel, not dictating how a tech website should meet the needs of it's customers. If a business is demonstrably not racist, sue Yelp and the newspaper Yelp links to and they'll win in court. That's how the legal system works.
You will find that management consulting firms (and the companies that hire them) have fairly clear rules about how they approach and talk about pricing and competition to avoid the appearance of impropriety. Most notably, they would never ever: 1. Indicate that their advice always is to raise prices 2. They would never share the pricing advice they gave to a competitor.

I don't know if what Patrick does is problematic. It wouldn't surprise me if he was trying to be glib and his actual advice is more nuanced.

If one interprets it literally: Someone who receives advice from him to raise prices can look down Stripe's customer list and find its competition and feel confident that the competition will receive the same advice.

Again, I don't know what he does. All I know is that what he says if read by the right person would be sufficient to trigger their curiosity to ask for records of his correspondence and find out.
