You don't need to do anything. Newspapers are free to publish whatever they'd like. But if the NYT isn't interested in discovering the truth of the accusations, that lends credence to the idea that their primary motivation is not the accusations but Coinbase's lack of support for racial justice politics.
This is what it made me think of. IIRC spitting out a sports drink was the same or more effective compared to actually consuming it during exercise.

I don't really get where the idea about this applying only to phones, tablets and laptops comes from as the actual proposal says products and not those specific categories. It also specifically mentions "independent repairers" as well as consumers themselves should have access to all the tools/information/parts.

Right that's what the US, France, and Britain did with Germany in WWI. And we know how that turned out. Fortunately, the Allied powers did not intend to repeat the mistake of settling for peace without reforming hostile powers into states that would coexist peacefully in the long term.
HN is worse than other sites because if a comment is downvoted early on by a handful of users, the upvote button disappears and it can’t be upvoted later by others who agree with it. So there is no way of knowing the true score of a comment if the people who dislike it found it first.

HN also literally disappears downvoted comments by making them unreadably light colored and eventually hiding them to all users who haven’t enabled the “Show Dead” setting.

You missed the point of my comment entirely. The issue is how "politics" is defined. I couldn't care less if Coinbase banned people from talking about the estate tax or free trade. However it is a problem when people can't speak up about the discrimination they feel at work.
I very much doubt that's true, as evidenced by cheaper bikes still sporting 3x chainrings. 1x is entirely about removing the front derailleur and all its associated complication. It's especially common in mountain bikes because they experience a lot more opportunity to break.
Your point is exceedingly obvious. It's being refuted by both literal definition and reasonable interpretation of the vast majority.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the immigration and tax rules of other countries but what you mention I see happening more and more with our clients and our immigration laws are going to need to be changed to account for remote/no-fixed address employment.
“I’d have gotten much more accomplished”

Not really. You say that now as if your non partying time would have been perfectly spent toward a goal of bettering yourself. In actuality you probably would have just putzed around in your dorm not doing anything that would have impacted your professional life trajectory.
I don’t think that’s true. It depends on what you’re using zoom for and how.

Tons of security conscious people use zoom, and use it appropriately. I assume any firm big enough to have a digital safety officer is going to have some large user base needing and using zoom.
> A large complicated well maintained and widely used library is infinitely preferable to a large complicated library you need to maintain yourself and used only by you.

Yes, but a large complicated well maintained and widely used library is not necessarily preferable to a small not so complicated library that does exactly what you need and nothing else. And that goes for formats too.

Recently I was involved in a project where order numbers had to be sent from one system to another. Some colleagues insisted that we baked them into a large xml document and then used libraries to both create the documents as well as parse them. In this case the economic thing to do was to write them each separated by EOL. Even the code we would have written ourselves would have been larger if we’d used the XML solution, not to talk about everything needed to include in builds and deploys.
But reproducing research results does produce new knowledge: enhanced validity of the original research. Or on the contrary, decreased validity. Both outcomes result in the creation of new (deeper) knowledge.
Great article. A couple things that crossed my mind...

Stress testing technology in the context of the worst moments in history might have illuminated what social scientists and propagandists have long known: that humans are wired to respond to emotional triggers and share misinformation if it reinforces existing beliefs and prejudices.

Maybe the largest problem here is the appeal of popularity.

The effects of internet-brain used to be theoretical in my life. Over the past couple years, though, internet-brain has started claiming people near and dear to me. I have seen that reactionary propaganda, on social media, can persuade smart people whose personalities are not at all reactionary.

This has taught me that which, and how many, people share a message is more important than the actual content of the message. If enough of my family and friends are certain that sugar is a health-food, I'll likely come to believe it is, too.

Trust in institutions is falling because of political and economic upheaval, most notably through ever widening income inequality.

The internet popularized cynical narratives about the world that remind me of Noam Chomsky or Hunter S Thompson. Those narratives usually strike me as correct, but I'm mindful that it might just be the zeitgeist that makes them seem so.

I've recently started thinking about how much of this societal dysfunction is real, how much is hype, and how much is real but real as a result of hype (a vicious spiral of dysfunction). When we talk about the effect of the internet on public consciousness, it's easy to forget that the internet has warped our own consciousness, too.
That's why I added the "afford it" bit.
You can move to an O-1 or other visa, if you want to move from H-1B employer to doing your own thing. Since you've got a priority date already, you can keep that when you move to the new company, so the wait isn't completely lost.

I've helped 10ish founders go from H-1B employees to being a founder on O-1 this year, would be happy to chat through the playbook.

Back in the 90s, yes.

I'd consider it if I was still commuting longer distances but covid put a stop to that. The range is a bit too short but if the additional external battery really delivers 70% more range as claimed, it would be a great fit for what used to be my commute.
I typically do "question driven development"[0] combined with Socratic questioning[1] for some of the deeper stuff.

For example, with question driven development in this context it was related to learning how to build a web application in a new programming language or web framework in an efficient way.

But I think the same thing can be applied for a lot of things. It boils down to breaking things down and solving each sub-problem as it comes up linearly and then you bust out Socratic questioning to really explore a specific sub-problem to understand it better.

So for learning a new language one of the first questions you might ask is "how do I install xyz language", which you tackle on the spot. Then you move onto the next question which might be "how do I install xyz web framework", and then you move to the next thing. Before you know it, you're a few hours into learning and you already solved basic things like how to get things installed, have a project generated, maybe respond with HTML on a couple of URL endpoints. Not only have you solved these problems but you have something to show for it too.

Independent of question driven development, Socratic questioning has been one of the most valuable things I learned in the last couple of years. You can think of almost anything, big or small and attack the problem with the same set of questions. It almost works like magic when you combine both for learning and applying something where you're trying to reach an end goal.

It is possible but it's a challenge because there's a prohibition against self-employment in the H-1B context. The options are the O-1 (a high standard but self-employment isn't really an issue) or the H-1B but with cofounders so that the ownership and control are diffuse.
Yes a Zotero app for mobile is something unfortunately missing. Ot doesnt seem too hard to talk to their API though.
Did you know it was diet? Given this article and some of the linked research, it seems like even incorrect knowledge of the caloric content has effects on the system. Would be cool to blind yourself to it and analyze the results of caloric vs diet soda.

It is possible for a Black person to feel discriminated against because of their race even when such discrimination has not occurred. The event mentioned in the article referring to a Black person dealing drugs and having a gun is bad, but the rest of it just sounds like normal annoying work crap. Being talked down to and belittled in a work meeting? I'm a middle-aged white programmer and that's happened to me a number of times over my career.

I would use the Pandemic to argue the exact opposite really. It's the worst disaster most people have seen in their lifetimes but it hasn't caused civilization to break down. For a lot of people life hasn't even changed that much. We are more resilient than many people think.

Yet this very site thinks paying these wages to Google interns is just fine. I have 4 decades of experience and deliver products that make $100M a year and I don't get paid these salaries because I don't work for a FAANG company, nor live in NY or SF, and am quite happy with what I make because the cost of living is reasonable and I like it here.

The median union worker does not make $400,000 a year in any city in the US. Picking extremes and calling it the norm is just picking facts to promote an opinion.

Whether you support or dislike unions in general is no reason to argue without useful facts to allow for reasoned discussion. This isn't Reddit.
Perhaps we could use more cities instead of more suburbs.
The lack of precision leads to increasing error over time in many contexts (off the top of my head, multiplication and division). I still think that if an algorithm can be rewritten to work with ints instead of floats, it will be served better the vast majority of the time.

The employer may have another choice: contract out that janitorial position to be shared across multiple companies or some other way to extract more efficiency from it.

Maybe they end up with 60-80% of the janitorial coverage that they had before.
Super late edit: KRZ: Limits & Demonstrations was not bad, but "The Entertainment" was the interlude I really liked.
I agree. Years ago over a Christmas break I hand ported the Chipmunk-2d physics engine to javascript because I wanted to understand how it worked. (And wanted to have a physics engine I could use for small games).

It only took me about 2 weeks and it was one of my most memorable experiences of the year. I learned a few great data structures, I learned about JS microoptimization (I got an 8x speed up from the first port to the final version of the code). And I learned all sorts of practical physics - moments of inertia, rotational momentum, restitution, solvers, etc.

It was a silly thing to do by most standards, but acts like that make me a much better engineer.

14 grams of sugar is equivalent to a tablespoon. I find it helpful to remember that imagery when looking at the ingredients of something I’m about to eat - would I want to shovel a tablespoon of sugar (or more) in my mouth right now? The thought tends to dissuade me and I have become a little more conscious of my sugar intake that way. It’s shocking how much sugar is in the processed “food” we buy. A 16oz strawberry açaí refresher from Starbucks has 32 grams of sugar. :P

Not surprising at all. Lots of companies like that: developers who only know how to develop, managers who only know how to manage, human resourcers who only know how to… resource. Lots of people who know the cost of everything and value of nothing.

Bear in mind too that the average employee, regardless of rank, is more concerned about what’s in their own best interests than what’s in the company’s. It’s only when you’re a director and major shareholder that these are one and the same, and even then you’re not magically immune to making really stupid decisions.

As for “Gust”, my sympathies are severely limited. He remained in a job where he knew his employers were taking the absolute piss out him long enough that he turned toxic himself. I get that changing jobs has its own set of costs and challenges, but thinking that your employer owes you for all your “loyalty” is a fool’s delusion. I’ve been in jobs where management’s been taking the piss while I’ve been burning out, and realizing that environment’s turning me toxic too I’ve walked.[1][2]

After all, my first obligation is to me and my health, and I’m no use to anyone when I fail to look after that. Too often computer geeks have a self-inflicted martyr complex, but you try telling them that their own worst enemy is themselves… (And, hey, fight me if you think I’m wrong.)

Besides, as an employee I know that it’s their work, not mine; so why should I get myself emotionally twisted up in work I don’t own when even its owners don’t care that much?

To add on top of PG's arguments: A podcast with Barry Diller made me realize that small active memory in a person may have a lot to do with them becoming perceptive, intuitive, and thus innovative. Diller underlined many times how he struggles to remember, but has as a result learned to perceive ground truth through experience instead.

I've confirmed this in a number of conversations with founders and other professionals, so it is possible the formal research surfaces more. Here are a few of stories from people I know:

1. A left handed, night owl, bathroom builder with horrible memory, who loves his work and can easily find a way to improvise to achieve the right results on projects, even if volunteering in a different country with different materials and house structures (wood vs brick) where he doesn't speak the language.

2. A doctor with amazing memory (can recite most movie lines ever heard and medical books ever read) who becomes timid and conservative about any new approach unless the best possible route is taken.

3. A founder who has benchmarked their brain on different tasks with different amounts of sleep deprivation. They have noticed in some states (nap, and high protein no-carb meal after sleep deprived state) the brain kicks into gear and comes up with amazing solutions to previously un-crackable problems while in other states repeat tasks flow much faster without over-think.

>I mean, surely computing power is cheap enough these days that you can build all the intelligence you need into the device for day to day operation and simply use internet connectivity to get updates, such as security patches, and the like?

I work on embedded systems that can not fail when the internet connection fails, and it's bonkers just how much you can accomplish with a <$5 microcontroller or even a <$10 chip running linux. But the tide of the industry is pulling toward remotely hosting as much as possible.

Even if it doesn't strictly need networking, the desire for a companion app, firmware upgrade workflow and/or business desire for surveillance often justify it. Once you have network connectivity for any reason, well, then you're not not going to be phoning home to a surveillance system running in AWS anyway. If you have a companion app, making sure you can get a connection between the phone and device is going to have a fall-back path that runs through your servers because even self-styled techy people don't always understand networking.

Now that your networked device is already sending all the data home anyway, why not do more work serverside? Add in the prevalence of developers that can't be arsed to learn to develop for a microcontroller. Or those that can only get by in the very-handheld embedded environments. Now your design is starting to take shape, and you need to do some more number crunching. Do you invest in learning to leverage esoteric features of your microcontroller? Add a DSP to the BOM? Or just say it's easier to do on the serverside with comparatively infinite processing resources and the ability to rush development because features and bugfixes only require updating servers rather than pushing firmware to the fleet?
In this particular post, she referenced causality in one sentence

> Neither does this faster-than light travel necessarily lead to causality paradoxes.

I take this to mean that if you could travel FTL to a very distant place that you could never get to otherwise, like say whatever universe there is that is farther away than light can travel in age of the universe, then there isn't a causality problem. Which isn't controversial. I'm pretty sure there are other FTL scenarios in which there is no paradox.

> Remember: you can go any speed you can accelerate to, it is everything else that can't go faster than light.

You cannot accelerate masses to the speed of light, because if General Relativity holds, you'd require infinite energy to do so.

In addition, every bit of radiation arriving from the direction of travel will be turned into high energy gamma radiation and cook you something fierce real quick; not to mention dust or tiny rocks that would release the energy equivalent of a thermonuclear explosion upon impact.

Since these effects alone will create a practical upper limit to your interstellar travel speed, there's still a huge difference between FTL and reactionless drives. An FTL drive might get you to Proxima Centauri in a month, whereas even the most optimistic subluminal option will take at least a decade.
