First of all, most people admire Maradona as a footballer, not as a person. His unique skills are admired by fans and footballers all over the world, including Lineker, Emlyn Hughes, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Romario, Pep Guardiola, Mourinho, Zidane, Platini, Messi, etc. If you don't consider his abilities to be outstanding, then you are probably not a big football fan.

Secondly, what's your definition of "being a cheat" in football? Let me remind you that kicking Maradona during a match, trying to break his legs so he can no longer play, is cheating. Punching, pushing, hurting someone on purpose is cheating. Even one of the BBC commentators, Emlyn Hughes, said during the England vs Argentina match: "Oh, that was awful. He deserves a red car. Oh well, looks like we got away with it".

Yes, hurting a player on purpose is cheating (England 1986), faking a penalty is cheating (Germany 1990), and scoring a goal with your hand is also cheating (Argentina 1986).

This is why FIFA invented the concept of Fair Play, to stop the English players from hurting others. And also why FIFA invented the VAR, to stop Argentine players from scoring goals with their hand and Germans from faking penalties.

Please, lets stop with the double standards.

> Second is unions aren't really about "minimum wages."

They basically are. They negotiate the minimum benefits the company can offer for a particular set of workers, which includes benefits and salary, ie. total wages.

> One is that automation proceeds with or without unionization.

True, but it is hastened by unionization. Automation always has a cost involved. Sometimes it's worth the cost, and sometimes it's not based on the cost of the human labor that is being replaced. If the cost of the human labor goes up for any reason (such as unionization) then the cost of automation looks more attractive.
Precisely. It is going to be difficult for people to convince tech employees that the industry needs to change if your two methods of change are either discriminating against said employees during hiring or turning the workplace into a political powderkeg.

> Coinbase's own (unrefuted) numbers show they are far worse than other tech companies. Where is your conception based off of?

They are (were?) at 3% vs 6% average, on small absolute numbers. Not great but certainly within margin of forgiveness.

My conception is based on the scene as a whole, which is extremely international. Look at the public personalities in crypto vs. the wider VC tech scene. It's possible Coinbase is a pocket of prejudice, but it would be an exception.

> stated principles and actual beliefs/actions often don't match in tech.

I agree, but this isn't just a principle here, the mechanics of crypto themselves prevent racial, gender, socioeconomic bias. You can't say one thing and do the other when the code is open source and is the main UI. That's the difference with things like big-tech's empty "privacy pledges" for instance, here the bad thing is made actually structurally inconvenient.

> Floyd was a career criminal unworthy of sainthood or role modeling.

Floyd was arrested for a home invasion, where a 1-year-old baby was present, and he threatened a woman to tell her where the money and drugs was hidden, by pressing a gun to her stomach. After that he was arrested and processed 8 times for crimes related to drugs and theft. The day of his arrest he tried to pay with a counterfeit bill. After his death, Floyd was witlessly treated as some martyr, killed at the hands of racist violent police, and portrayed as a role model for all black people and the struggles they go through, just trying to turn his life around.

Handwritten notes of a law enforcement interview with Dr. Andrew Baker, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner, say Floyd had 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in his system.

Offended that you brand me with racism for telling you an unpleasant truthful interpretation? No, I think me and my wife can live with that. But a little scared, yes. You can accuse me and others of deeply-racist sentiment, and that accusation seems enough to financially and socially damage me. At least give me a "fair" trial: Show me where I lied. Or these racist accusations hold as much water as those in the Coinbase article, and are exposed for the bloody clubs they really are.

There were no claims of openness, because the opposite of “locked down” is not “completely open and here are the spec sheets”. Apple silicon devices let you boot your own code, which means they are not locked down, like say your iPhone is.

Actually, the comments are a fairly accurate reflection of the tech industry and especially in places like Silicon Valley and should not be casually ignored.

The sheer amount of ignorance and justifications for racism expressed on HN, while baffling at times, is actually characteristic of the tech industry, especially in places like Silicon Valley / Bay Area, and while expressed here anonymously, in the real world, there's no shortage of clever "Machiavellians" at tech companies (like Emilie Choi and Kim Milosevich at Coinbase) able to simultaneously pay lip service to "diversity" while also crafting narratives that serve to only further the toxic culture of victim blaming and racism towards unrepresented groups in tech.

In fact, many of the ignorant and racist comments in HN are likely being made and/or given the silent nod by prominent tech founders, along with entire HR departments, PR departments, fellow coworkers, tech leads, product managers, etc.

I agree with your last point, it's not that hard to accept the fact that your company is influenced by social trends. Pretending that we're laser focused and everything should be checked at the door wreaks of bias.

Clearly, the CEO was not distressed at the events, and wanted to minimize anyone else's negative feelings about the matter because it wasn't important to him.

A better CEO might recognize that this issue was important to the social fabric and therefore is also important to his company's mission.

Imagine if the consultants had in fact found discrimination. Would the company ever report that publicly? Maybe there was or wasn't discrimination, but there is zero reason to conclude based on somebody chosen and paid for by the company.
OK but why is it perpetuated today? My contention would be that it is mostly popular entertainment, movies, music, and media that perpetuates this view of the aggressive black male.

I have had little exposure to black people in my life. The few that I have encountered in school or professionally have not demonstrated any aggressive nature. I have no first-hand experience of aggression by any black man. My parents did not teach me that black men are aggressive. I did not learn this in school or from my friends. The only way I can think of that I might have gotten this impression is from movies, television, music, and media. These are the same people who are now professing and demonstrating how woke and concerned they are, rather than apologizing for their roles as the primary perpetuators of a stereotype.

Therefore when I see media or entertainment figures (I include politicians here) on the anti-racist soapbox, it all falls rather flat for me. They are the ones fanning the flames on one side, and demanding attonement from everybody else on the other side.
I'm a mountain biker, and I also ride fatbikes in the winter. There's a couple other reasons for carbon:

- Carbon fiber is a worse conductor of heat than aluminum. Use some carbon fiber bars, foam grips, and either carbon brake levers or aluminum ones with heatshrink tape over them and your hands will stay warmer in the cold. When it's REALLY cold and you're using pogies (grip area covers) this is particularly important as it means less heat wicking away from your hands.

- In my experience the sidewalls on carbon rims are a LOT stronger than aluminum. Sure, it's possible to break carbon, but it takes a lot more force than it does to dent or crease aluminum. I've ridden carbon rims hard on seriously rough trails, hitting rims on things which have dented my aluminum rims, and the rims are just fine.

- When building bicycle wheels one of the usual steps is truing the wheel, or adjusting the tension on each spoke to pull the rim into being straight and eliminating wobble. This is not a thing with carbon rims. With carbon rims they are SO stiff that instead you bring all the spokes up in tension evenly and then maintain this even tension and ensure the wheel is straight (no radial or lateral wobble). Unlike aluminum rims, changing the tension on just one, or even a handful, of spokes won't pull that part of the rim in whatever direction. The rims are just that stiff, and a well-built even-tensioned carbon wheel will last a long time.

- It's also possible to do far more complicated forming with carbon fiber than one can do with metal, particularly at reasonable weights. Having a very low stand-over height (good for technical mountain biking) with carbon is no big deal; just some engineering. With aluminum it requires a lot more material, which can add pounds (noticeable amounts) of weight.
And both face heavy discrimination and racism outside of the tech bubble of Silicon Valley, both historically and in the present day. To exclude Asians from the definition of POC is to disempower us because you consider one POC “more important” than another.

Indeed, we see this mentality in programs like affirmative action in which the suffering of Asian children is seen as an acceptable sacrifice for uplifting other minorities.

> someone I considered to be a massive cheat,

What's your definition of "being a cheat" in football? Let me remind you that kicking Maradona during a match, trying to break his legs so he can no longer play, is cheating. Punching, pushing, hurting someone on purpose is cheating. Even one of the BBC commentators, Emlyn Hughes, said during the England vs Argentina match: "Oh, that was awful. He deserves a red car. Oh well, looks like we got away with it".

And yes, scoring a goal with your hand is also cheating. Did Maradona scored a goal with his hand? Yes. Did the English team kick and hurt Maradona the entire match. Yes, I saw it with my own eyes.

This is why FIFA invented the concept of Fair Play, to stop players from kicking and hurting others. And why they invented the VAR, to stop them from scoring goals with their hand.
You absolutely can give a shit and work all kinds of hours. The only important thing about working hard is logically analyzing a problem, implementing a solution, and presenting your work appropriately. Sometimes that takes two hours, sometimes it takes thirteen.

If you say, hey why aren't you solving more problems then on lighter days, then that sounds like some jerk taskmaster dictating a rate rather than someone concerned with solving problems.
I'm sure the moon has it's own environmental factors that would impact materiel choices and make some more suitable than others. So having a wider spectrum of light at suitable levels to tap into, whilst that opens up the possibility to tap into a larger spectrum at the required power levels to generate electricity. It maybe that being able to use some materials have advantages and tap a part of the spectrum that would not be viable upon earth proves more suitable.

I ride bikes a reasonable amount, half for leisure, half for getting to places and I can tell you the main reason why one of my next bikes is going to be an e bike: sweat.

I sweat more than most people unfortunately, and I live in a moderately hilly city (300ft hills all around the area) that is very humid and hot in the summer. I absolutely love biking to work, the store, etc, but it's uncomfortable and embarrassing to be drenched with sweat after a 10 minute bike ride.
Carbon frames are worth it for the damping factor alone if you ride for more than an hour a week IMHO.

While I’m doing all of this, these shiftless people were making excuses about kids having to be places, or wives who wanted their husbands home, or people who always seemed to be sick. I didn’t understand.

I think Brad Fitzpatrick described in Coders At Work or similar being frustrated about how people would clock out at the end of the day, when all his energy was invested in the company. And that it took him a while to realize that it comes with the territory of being a founder. You have a massive stake in the outcome, that employees aren't offered. The incentives are just wildly different, so it would be amazing if the behavior wasn't also wildly different. In fact, startup employees are often undercompensated, compared to their brethren at publicly traded firms.

Not to derail this, but life doesn't have to end. We aren't trying hard enough to solve death.

Here's a reverse salient / step function improvement:

Clone monoclonal decephalized humans and grow them like plants for blood, organs, and basic research. Remove their heads before birth with developmental gene cutoff of neural crest development, or for the easier path, surgically decapitate them before they have brains.

Grow them in transgenic pig uteruses, then hook them up to respirators and gastric feeder tubes. Electronically stimulate their hearts. Inject them with hormones. Grow these clones into adulthood and keep them in vast warehouses.

They don't have brains, so they're not persons. (I'm not looking to debate this with anyone who disagrees.)

Suddenly we have the best experimental platform for researching every non-brain disorder. We can do studies experimentally rather than population summary statistics and identify all the negative environmental and dietary inputs.

Infinite insulin, infinite blood, infinite organs. Nobody dies waiting for a transplant. Bonus: the clones don't express surface HLAs and epitopes that trigger immune responses that require lifelong immune suppression.

We can put young blood and young organs into people. Replace thymuses, the leading cause of immune system decline.

Today's approaches in biology are punch card slow. We're doing double blind clean room science because we're too afraid. The field is content with running gels, and that's why I stopped pursing it academically and am trying to forge my way with money. We have to try harder, bolder things.

The field needs an injection of the engineering mindset. This isn't the only thing that needs to change, but it's a start.

The human body is a machine. We can duplicate and clone these machines for spare parts and basic research.

Spin off the tech and do the same for cows and pigs, and suddenly you have ethical meat that isn't fake.

If I ever have a big exit, I'm throwing my weight into this problem.

I have no doubt we could reduce deaths by cancer and heart disease if we had this platform. I also think we'd drastically increase health span.

If you want a longer life for yourself and your loved ones, clone humans.

The company that does this will be the biggest company in all biotech. Every other company will license your supply, and hospitals will be buying from you constantly. It's got a worldwide market, too.

If we don't do it, China will.

The general thesis of the diversity trainings I've attended is that white men believe they are superior to black men (sometimes consciously, sometimes subconsciously, depending on the fervor of the trainer). White men are racist just by existing - being part of the "white patriarchy" gives them a sense of entitlement and many advantages, whether they are aware or not. So let's say for the sake of argument all that is true...

Then why would a white man ever feel threatened by an angry black man expressing his opinion?

And anyways, what white person in 2020 complains to HR about an angry black man? And if they do, who listens? Get real.
