What’s the argument for warp drive not violating causality?

(She mentions she explains it in another video but I couldn’t find it.)
Note: not all companies do this, most companies I meet do. Maybe I'm meeting the wrong companies.

Here's my original comment:

Well, the flip side is. Do you have experience with AWS? Not really, but I've known Linux for years, have done stuff on Heroku, Digital Ocean, my own servers, hacked boxes and IBM Bluemix, but no AWS.

Sorry, we rejected you because you have no experience with AWS.

So to be honest, I've been looking into it, because apparently a lot of Dutch (not all) are too short-sighted to see that I've done development and am able to figure it out, or have transferable knowledge (fun fact/example: in part via HN articles that showed how to load balancers [0]).

Also on the money side, it's not that bad. It's $150 for an exam. I think by reading docs and watching this video [1]. It'll be possible to get.

Everything I mentioned here is also true for pentesting as I've experienced something similar there.

Now that you've heard me complain, I am actually for hire ;-)

I'm language agnostic, most experience with NodeJS/ReactJS, junior pentesting as second skill, I'm at my best as a 50% programmer / 50% anything else <-- pentester may be included in the second 50%, or: marketing, business analyst, UX, I'm open-minded and willing to learn.

If no company is hiring me by the first of January and all my applications are dead in the water, I'm starting something for myself.

> ask quesions about legacy services.

There are also some questions that are just wrong because they haven't been updated. Definitely found myself thinking, "ok, technically this is now correct but that's only been true for a few months; this question probably actually wants this other answer that used to be true."
I have always supposed that something that works great on an underpowered laptop would work even better on a full-power laptop.
> the stereotype wasn't even accurate at low granularity

In this single case. This was the first and only sports-guy they had met that was interested in computer-games.

"stereotype had exceptions". Well not really, for these observers, at this point in time, the stereotype had ONE exception, this particular guy.

Personally I don't think it surprising at all that a sports-guy would be interested in computer games. They are games after all :-)
How does Rust reference counting handle cycles? Python is famously reference counted, and even it ended up having to strap on an occasional GC cycle to mop up after those. Or do you just accept that if it leaks, it leaks? Which for most finite-lived programs on generous modern hardware may be a sufficiently acceptable solution.

...

Still, I do idly† wonder if there could be better schemes[sic] than just slavishly refcounting everything? e.g. If you know which values never escape a given scope, maybe just dump them into a single-ownership pool that’s collected whenever execution finally leaves that scope. Which, for lists that compose the program itself, is the entire lifetime of the program (so no need to explicitly collect assuming the OS is happy to clean up after the program exits). It’s really just values that leave their originating scope that need to start refcounting (although, of course, there’s a raft of ways they can sneak out of that).

Although I think the most inventive answer to dynamic memory management was the language that simply tossed all newly created values into a single global cache, from which it periodically swept all values that weren’t touched again within a fixed period of time. (Obviously requiring 100% referential transparency, so that if an already-flushed value is needed again, it can simply be regenerated from scratch.) Alas, I can’t remember that language’s name (I think it’s an older and obscure one), but simple, effective, and sneaky AF? #MeLikes

† Alas, while I have considered implementing a scripting language in Rust (to teach myself Rust as much as anything else), I’m already painfully slow writing them in HLLs that do all that low-level stuff for me. #BoVLB :/

That's the list of checks made by the bsearch algorithm. It will have to do at least one check near the end that's <= 42.0.

EDIT: It will also be probing to the ULP level, which the print could be rounding to 42.0. That could explain why there are at least two checks of "42.0".
The post just deleted all of its legitimate criticisms from other users...now comments aren't allowed. What a joke.

The funniest one I managed to see was:

it depends. In my opinion, each case/ impact is individual

How's your understanding of Moral Foundation theory?

And what do you think of the Liberty/oppression dimension?
I think the biggest thing working against unionization is automation. At some point it just becomes cheaper to use software and robots.

Look at McDonalds. In high wage areas, they use the automated ordering kiosks, but in low wage areas they still have humans taking orders. Because they did the math and realized the machines are cheaper than a $15/hr wage.

My supermarket just massively increased the self checkout area, doubling its size. It's no coincidence that minimum wage in our area goes up to $15.65 in five weeks.

Unions are a good thing, but they have a very fine line to walk between protecting workers and changing the calculus towards eliminating the workers altogether.

Who knows - it’s just interesting because of the proposed mechanism being about regulation rather than inputs.
It's news because it's a new paper. Even if the paper might be wrong, it's still news.

Regarding practicality, you may have missed the thesis, which is that warp drives are more practical than previously thought, because the theory allows subliminal warp drives at finite energy, not only superluminal warp drives at unphysical negative energy.

The part about GR is just the stretch part. It's obvious what she means about GR, that our current arguments against superluminal drives are based on General Relativity.

The topic of the new paper and this comment thread is primarily subliminal warp, not superluminal warp.
Just to be clear, Fulbright is telling you that future applications, such as an O-1, could be impacted if your J-1 waiver application were denied? That's absolutely not true.

It would be a civil breach of contract between the employer and the union, right?
Absolutely nothing but some people feel that they missed out and it remains as one of those things forever lingering in their minds. Had they done it they'd probably wished otherwise
As an EEE graduate myself I hear you. But now that I work in pure IT where I write programs for customer's requirements where nobody cares about a rock solid product vs a shiny new one that can ship next week (and I believe that was the context the article was written), and I hate to admit this - can't fault the author here.
> I thought that is precisely how most wars end.

Well I don't know what to tell you, it usually isn't.
As the article says in the second paragraph, the employees that they spoke to left in 2018 and 2019, so this response is irrelevant. I personally find it reprehensible and deliberately lacking context as well but you are entitled to your opinion.

The existence of individual cases does not negate the fact that a systemic effect exists. What is that systemic effect?
Insulting people wasn't my intention, but I have some uncharitable views of the HN community members that cry meritocracy and find founders blameless.

You are correct that the people in the article that either filed complaints, or spoke with the New York Times risked repercussions, but not all of the folks the Times spoke with are identified. People were willing to talk, but not necessarily on the record, or to be identified. That is because they are fearful of reprisal, based on past experiences and observations.

That is the biggest challenge for people confronting systemic issues like racism, poverty, homelessness, or any number of topics. It's not enough for victims to stand up for themselves, because there is a systemic imbalance in the ability to pursue remedies through the courts or other means. Getting justice in civil matters often boils down to the size of a victims pocket book (and especially in contrast to pocket books of the people or organizations that have made that person a victim). There are so many individuals who have left the tech industry after experiencing bad behaviour, discrimination, and abuse, and any one of those people could be the next Hedy Lamarr or Philip Emeagwali, and the industry is worse for not having those people in it.

Again, as a community we do our peers a disservice by not trusting them when they say there is a problem, especially when they are so consistently proven right.
Getting a H-1B for your own start-up is quite straightforward if if you have more than one founder and you've raised some investment. You need to be able to show that you can be fired, so typically having <50% ownership and a functioning 3-person (or more) board who can control your actions is sufficient. You can get one of the other directors, or a co-founder (assuming they are in a position of power, such as CEO or Director or President) to sign off on the petition. They don't need to be a US resident, just an officer of the company.

For new companies, you need to be able to show enough bank balance for 1-2 years of salary (we had 300K in the bank when we applied for my visa).

For salary requirement, to start off with, don't list yourself as CEO or CTO in your first petition, as that greatly increases the salary you have to be paid, this may not make sense in the early days of the company. In reality, for the first 3 years, I was a solo-developer, so I simply listed myself as a software developer. 3 years later, once we had a team, and when my H1B came up for renewal, I listed myself as CTO, and had to pay myself 2x.

Just be careful to list the role that closely resembles what you actually do in the company, and while it maybe nice to call yourself CEO or CTO, in all likelihood, in the first couple years, you're not really functioning anywhere close to that capacity, so take advantage of that :)

H1B => EB-1a (assuming your credentials are in place) is also quite straightforward. EB-1a can be self-petitioned, so you don't even need the company to sign off. Just get a good lawyer (like Peter) and that'll be sufficient.
And on the flip side, if you know a lot about AWS but don't study their exact wording, it's pretty hard to pass. I've been doing AWS for 13 years (which is basically $MAX years) and I definitely get tripped up on some of those questions, even though I know what they're asking about, because they use phrases directly from the documentation that I don't know.
That the breakdown of civilization is possible is clear from the Bronze Age Collapse, the Collapse of the Roman Empire, The Incas,

I would note that "the collapse of the Roman Empire" was a very relative thing. The Western empire split and East empire kept going. Things that seemed collapse-related happened; the Vandals lived by looting civilization for quite a while, population and cities shrank, and Vikings also plundered for hundreds of years. But agricultural society and a number of social/technological innovations continued and in ways made progress. And Eastern Roman/Byzantium continued until conquered by a more advanced society. Mentioning this 'cause the classical collapses of the Maya, precolumbian-society or bronze age societies apparently didn't do this. People left, died, went back to hunting and gathering. Those could be called "true" collapses.

Which is to say that even Roman may have been at the point that a classical Tainter collapse couldn't quite happen. And today, while our create multiple disasters, we seem be well past a point where you could talk about a rise and fall of civilization. What we're looking at is the direction of the explosive expansion of market/technological/social progress. Even a disaster wiping out, say 90% of the human population on earth would see a rebound in a terrifying short period of time, historically speaking.

But anyway, I agree with the rest of what the parent says.
What are the relevant dates: when did you file your I-485 and EAD applications and when does your H-1B expire? Also, do you have any sense how strong your EB1A is?
Not for those who aren’t part of a union. I’m asking to understand the edge case, not to see if an employer could violate a union contract.

I stand by what I said: you weren't commenting on the article. You were commenting about the author of the article, and that you were tired of seeing news about her.
My plan is to get a L1 visa (I'll be eligible in 4 months) and then apply for a green card so I've got 2 questions:

1. When do you think US embassies will start issuing L1 visas (I've heard it's next to impossible to receive them right now).

2. Is it possible for a company to apply for an employment-based greencard (EB3) for an employee that is based out of the USA? How does the timeline look for those (when is the moment where it's the absolute necessity to arrive in the USA)?
Simon Willison has good posts on implementing full text search on top of sqlite[1]

I'm not sure why, but you're taking my comment as a personal attack. I was not personally attacking you, or trying to quash your 2 cents. You gave your 2 cents, and I disagree with the main thrust of what you said, so I gave my 2 cents on the topic. That's all that's happened, you're not being run out of town on a rail for speaking outside the overton window - you just suggested that this research was a waste of time and I argued that it does not seem to me to be a waste of time.

It seems like you have some resentment because you don't feel your personally acquired knowledge is being valued correctly? That may be the case generally, but it's not the case here, I assure you.

it might need more context to extend on it

> are you more interested operationally in getting your tasks for today done, or are you more interested in an idea for its own sake even if it doesn't have pragmatic function

This is such a discriminatory way of thinking. For some of us, our "tasks for the day" are full of interest, complexities and possibilities. For a lot of us, our "tasks for the day" are repetitive, prescribed and uninteresting.

Please find a way to talk about people's individual psychology without making it contigent on their relationship to however they make a living.
Dual ISA would be pretty cool. The more I learn about the differences between ARM and x86, the more it starts to seem like it really is not that much of a stretch. Just need the market for it.

> You are delusional if you think that 200 years of modern mathematics, physics and astronomy can be mastered by a single person, let alone an average person, who rarely has the mental capacity to even understand most of the material en detail.

You are delusional if you imagine I said you should master everything. In fact, I said you should make the effort. Recall, John Nash said that in graduate school he had to reinvent 300 years of mathematics for himself? And just how many books did Witten say he studied in a year in graduate school on his own?

Try to calm down and question your assumptions. I'm not your enemy.

Trying to understand stuff before asking for an opinion is a habit. If you don't practice it, you can't do it, and you shouldn't be surprised if you instead believe that the default should instead be relying on others who practice the habit.

Importantly, the habit of doing your own homework is actually a muscle: if you don't strengthen it, it will atrophy or never develop. The stronger it is, the faster working through physics and mathematics and chemistry papers becomes. Perhaps we can do better than our masters from the Renaissance if we try?

Thanks! That's kind of you to say. It's a struggle but I'm getting there.

You think music is simple? You are totally trolling me. I like your sense of humour.

H-1B is going to be super expensive for a pre-revenue company to hire you at (with the new H-1B changes). If you've raised money for the startup, you might be able to afford it, but the O-1 is a better visa to look at (and cheaper for the company).
To what extent are Java and C# proprietary? I lost track, especially on the Java part.

Or what about Go? React?

Ok, some of these aren't proprietary, that if the big company supporting it would drop?

My point isn't to now learn AWS because everything else is proprietary. My point is that quite a few popular programming languages have corporate interests and can also give a bit of a vendor lock-in, to quite a degree.
Its enough to demonstrate nonsocial results, IMHO. Especially when dealing with mailed paper ballots, and computerized tabulators.

No way Biden outperformed Obama with Black voters in key swing states and underperformed him everywhere else!

The results in some of these ridings has the hallmarks of election fraud. This is why its still not getting certified by so many states. And I predict will go to legislature to pick electors in those states
Please don't bother replying to something you know will be flagged, as now we have no context for your comments.
The article implies that a number of the Black people who left did so because the compliance division was relocated and they didn't want to relocate with it. It doesn't say how many people's decisions were influenced by annoying work crap that they interpreted as discrimination.

This is a really dishonest article. It tries to lead one to believe things (e.g. that 15 Black people left Coinbase because they were belittled in meetings) without stating it outright or making a case for it. Just insinuation spun up from a few concrete situations that themselves are mostly vague or not obviously discrimination (the gun and drugs thing being the obvious exception).

I feel like someone needs to put a big flag at the top of the comments section asking people to at least skim the article. Maybe the problem is the paywall? Anyway, the people they spoke to all left the company prior to George Floyd's death.
Ok, let's accept what you say as fact and ignore that an exception was made for the single White employee in that department which wasn't made for any of the Black employees you are referencing. Let's also ignore the weirdness of 40% of the company's Black employees being on a single seemingly small team. That still leaves 7 other employees in other departments who left the company in a 6 month window due to feeling discriminated against. 35% is obviously a better number than 75%, but it doesn't allow you to dismiss this problem.

Special relativity is sufficient to introduce the paradoxes associated with superluminal travel.
I see your point and I agree. I hated being constantly interrupted on my previous job, and I got them to stop doing that and only interrupt me when something really needed immediate attention.

But the thing is: communicate in the way makes sense for the situation/environment. Not by forcing people to send everything in emails, and even, sending way more emails than necessary
The argument is that they're impossible, because they require negative energy (which not only doesn't exist but doesn't make sense), so it's fine.

In the presence of negative energy you can form closed time-like curves in general relativity, which would violate causality, but these are not valid solutions because negative energy is not a thing.

It's just like saying you can travel faster than the speed of light in special relativity, you just need imaginary mass (ie. m^2<0), but mass is unfortunately a real quantity rather than a complex quantity so you can't.
