So you’re just writing your HTML twice, essentially. You can’t change your HTML without changing your CSS, so at that point, what’s the point in writing the CSS? May as well just add the styles right on the HTML.

They’re both fundamentally just part of how it looks, and I don’t see a lot of benefit in trying to keep that separate.
Very hard to take that at face value. This is the email that management took as somehow being beyond what an employee at google can do. The title is quite correct IMHO.
I believe that pulling oil out of the ground is way less carbon intensive than growing the necessary amount of corn, and I believe plastic is made from some tiny fraction of the petroleum that isn't used as fuel, so the petroleum would be extracted anyway, but the corn would not be grown anyway. I'm assuming the actual production of the good itself is similar in either case.
Not sure of the best way to connect but could you DM me on Linkedin so I could get your name and follow up?
Not that this is an important part of the post, but in general parsing the output of ls like the author does in the for loop is a bad idea[1].

I think the one-liner would be better as

for i in [0-8]*/*.sql; do psql -U <user> -h localhost -d <dbname> -f $i ; done

or even better as something like

find . -name "*.sql" -exec psql -U <user> -h localhost -d <dbname> -f {} \;

I love this- it’s about time someone took a fresh look at screen sharing and made it truly collaborative.
Great job!
this is always the right-wing rhetorical contradiction:

"less government!"... when it comes to limiting the power of capital, and redistributing its profits to society

"more government!!" when it comes to squashing dissent to capital and existing hierarchies

it's not really a contradiction, it's part of a consistent authoritarian ideology ruled by capital and other oppressive social structures, but it is outwardly hypocritical and often goes against the interests of the people who parrot it
I doubt you'll find any gaming monitors at that resolution for a while. The newest Nvidia GPUs can't hit high enough frame rates at 4k to utilize 120Hz.

Why do you need 120Hz+ for productivity?
Adjustments for disabled people need to be "reasonable".

It's reasonable for a blind person to take their guide dog on a plane. It's reasonable for someone with mental illness to take their well trained support animal on the plane.

It's unreasonable for someone who's struggling a bit to take their pet cow on a plane.
> When you buy into a Crypto you're investing into the technology itself.

This argument of technology + limited supply is fallacious. If the technology is so useful the coin can just be cloned with more supply. The technology itself doesn't force me to participate in a limited supply market in order to get the benefits.
So something I only recently found out myself is that there is actual no real requirements in order to register an animal as an "emotional support animal", I found that out after my sister registered her dog as an emotional support animal to get around her apartments "no pets allowed" rule.

Another interesting thing is that I have a friend who builds apartments in a college town for students. The apartments for years had a strict no pet policy, however people started claiming they were emotional support animals and that the apartment had to let them keep them. So now the apartments just charge you a several hundred dollar fee each semester. If you can't beat em, join em.
I think we're from different worlds, from your profile it's seems you don't work on e-commerce and sass, which is what I'm referring to. Though admittedly I didn't open with that!

Just like I can't imagine the true depth of complexity of game/3d development having dabbled making games in unity, I'm not sure you understand just how complex a sass/enterprise site can get, it's usually issues with actually organising the code that gets you, rather than the code itself.

Your example of i18n is actually quite telling, having internationalized a couple of sites that's actually a fairly simple organizational problem in our codebases, comparatively not really complex at all, just tedious.

That's mostly true, and I'm not aware of which specific hiring efforts she was involved with...

The VP that fired her/"accepted resignation" wrote to her reports about it:

It's frustrating to realize, but unsurprising: the people higher up in the hierarchy will always have more power than those below.
I think worker cooperatives could also be a pressure for material change industry wide, and specifically in the tech industry I suspect that's more attainable than for workers of many other industries.
I think your phrasing of "demand for fees" is kinda weird. Since it really comes down to "demand for validators" or "demand for compute resources on the ETH network."

ETH's fundamental value is that it's the only form of payment accepted to use the eth network. It can and does have secondary value as a medium of exchange but that's what's at the bottom and the reason you need ETH opposed to something else.
> It’s also worth noting that while the performance / efficiency gap between x86 and ARM seems to be pretty sizable at this point

It's really not, though. You have to compare performance at a given power target to judge performance/efficiency, which you can't do for most ARM CPUs. But you can get 8 core x86 CPUs that are 15W, or 1.8w per core (example: the 4800U). Similarly 64 core Epycs are around or less than 3W per core. These are all well within similar per-core power numbers as your typical big-core ARM chip.

The perceived gap is larger than it really is, because there just isn't really an x86 tablet-focused market. The M1's jump into laptop-space puts it up and we can really see it shine, but the other ARM jumps into laptop-space were a joke. So comparing equivalent power targets becomes challenging.

But take your articles benchmarks for example. The Snapdragon manages something like 60% of the performance of the A12's. So take the existing M1 mac, cut the performance drastically, and suddenly it'd be not interesting at all. The performance/efficiency wouldn't be impressive at all if it was getting 60% of the performance it is now.

Yes, they rent. But "buying homes after saving for a down payment after a few years" is not a reality in any major metro area at the moment, unless you're fine with small, old, and far out in the suburbs.
Presumably Marquitos Figueroa, alleged to have illegally helped Márquez win election, would at least claim semi-equal status with the government.
I don't think modern HR policy really works like that. If one person complains to their HRBP that the speech or actions of another person at the company makes them feel personally attacked, derogated, or establishes a hostile work environment then the company will be forced to take that matter to the second person. HR isn't looking to setup an Oxford debate between persons A and B. They are required to resolve the hostile work environment allegation, else person A has an actionable complaint against the company.
Private enterprise was usually castigated for not being racist enough. Economics was the 'dismal science' because it didn't support racism, segregation, and slavery.

See, it's not a union. Unions are apparently uncool in the USA. Think of it as Musk inventing the Tube by removing the engineeringly silly parts of the Hyperloop and adding a sharing economy feature to the result :)

Why would you share your "not-union" membership with your employer? Instead, use it as a coordinator between your peers to prevent being underpaid and overworked do to information disparity you normally have in your relationship with you employer and if you get screwed it turns out you have access to lawyers.

Something of that sort.
I agree. I think one day I will be interested in organizing a tech cooperative. I'm not quite ready to make the jump though.
A secret union. Would be labelled terrorists in no time flat.
I feel for them. It's unfortunate that in the US, the party of lower taxes is now also the party that's trying to overturn the popular vote in a national election. It'd be nice if they had a home for their political philosophy that hadn't become grossly anti-American along the way.
PrEP prevents transmission of the virus by having a non-infected person on the medication. So there's no need to worry about mutation, because the only time the virus sees the drug is when it first gets into a new host, at which point it is unable to replicate. You wouldn't want to use this on somebody who is already positive.
There have been theories and allegations that Tether is being used to prop up the price of various cryptocurrencies. When I last kept an eye on the wild world of cryptocurrencies, Tether was at around 4 billion USD in total, and now it has grown to 19 billion, while at the same time Bitcoin is at an all time high.

As long as Tether continues to exist, any cryptocurrency USD prices should be taken with a spoonful of salt.
Congrats on the launch. Waiting for the realtime API to be capable of filtering based on row level security and I'll definitely try it on some "serious" side projects afterwards. Small suggestion regarding the Firebase comparison: Including a package size comparison for various Firebase packages (realtime, auth etc.) vs Supabase.js might be useful.
For starters all the Xbox, PS5, Ryzen and RX chips come from the exact same production line. And the Samsung N8 yield doesn't seem to be anything special regarding Nvidia. Add that repeated waves of Covid lock-downs have made demand explode and that we're in the busiest period of the year anyway...
Initially there weren't enough of them in many areas of Ontario [1], with a suspicious oversupply in others (for example in the Niagara region near the US border). Now there's a concern that the market has swung the other way and saturated in some parts of the country [2].

There's also been some weird ownership questions with former Toronto Police chief Julian Fantino who spend a decades-long career busting people for pot and opposing legalization only to have a come-to-Jesus moment about its medical benefits just in time to start a business around it and cash in.

Here comes the hn, "durrr, I don't get it, it must be fake. There's no real value..."

How is it that a group of people that purportedly understand so much about programming and systems are so incredibly obtuse about a programming system?

Bitcoin has value because there is an unlimited supply and it is a useful tool for moving and storing value, how hard is this to understand?
> they are selling a digital asset at a valuation that exceeds the total economic output of the known universe by several orders of magnitude. If that's not a scam, I don't know what is.

But they're not. There are 2^32 planets. A planet is the minimum unit of personal identity and is meant to correspond to a "responsible adult human". Within a planet you can have 96 bits of sub-identity, if you want to have things subordinated to your own identity (e.g. your IOT stuff, your phone, your router, your car, your kids, whatever). No one is buying a 128 bit identity.

You can buy planets right now for $10-$20 on opensea. $20 * 2^32 is about 10% of the annual military budget of the United States, not several orders of magnitude larger than the total economic output of the known universe.
I have to imagine this is a joke or do you actually think the only advantage of the M1 is that you need 1 less fan in your machine?
I consider it a deep out of the money call option. There's a small but real chance that Bitcoin (or another crypto) essentially replaces the US dollar as the world's reserves currency.

Bitcoin's total capitalization today is $200 billion. The total value of the dollar is harder to measure and depends on what you count as money or just money-like. But M3 is $20 trillion, and add in short-term T-bills and money markets and it's substantially higher. So in this scenario, it's possible for BTC to rise from $20,000 to $1,000,000+ or higher.

Given that, I think it's prudent to allocate 1-2% of your overall net worth to crypto exposure. Especially because we expect it to out-perform in high-inflation/low-growth environments, which is the worst environment for traditional 60/40 portfolios.
>The point about being able to upgrade ram or upgrade to whatever you want doesn’t make sense.

If my program needs 64GB of ram, your 8GB highly efficient "memory architecture" can do nothing about it...you have to know that even my gpu has 16GB alone. But i have to say that 8GB are probably enough for your Chrome Browser.
> That's how it is supposed to work.

How, exactly, is it supposed to work? If you are asked to respond to allegations, yet those allegations are not shared with you, what are they actually asking you to do?
Yeah, for what it's worth--I also am dual booting Windows (solely for games, wine isn't worth the trouble) and I've had absolutely no problems with it. In fact, it's buttery smooth with every game I've tried it on (CK3, Noita, Synthetik, Kenshi, Factorio, etc.).
You don’t just go and make ever part of your chip architecture wider by being clever. Well, there was probably some cleverness involved, but it’s not like this has been a one-off trick.
Cryptocurrency isn't actually scarce though, it may be "scarce-like" but the scarcity is an artificial property that can be arbitrarily changed, unlike gold's scarcity which is an unalterable property of reality.
Have “#1 and #2” been published? I don’t see them at the link above or anywhere else.

She will land on her feet. There is a huge demand for ideologues willing to lobotomize ML.

So, are you saying that meaningful (not perfect) herd immunity is impossible for any respiratory viral infection, even in the presence of a vaccine that generates a robust T and B cell response?

Also, regarding the nasal swabs in those monkeys in the nature paper, you're not spraying respiratory droplets all over the place out of your nose when you vocalize. It's coming out of your trachea and oropharynx as those vocal cords vibrate and air gets pushed out of the lower airway. You don't sneeze at the grocery store cashier whether you want paper or plastic.

"We observed a significantly reduced viral load in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid and lower respiratory tract tissue of vaccinated rhesus macaques that were challenged with SARS-CoV-2 compared with control animals"

That's a HUGE win in reducing transmission.

Come on, you gotta be a little more enthusiastic here! These vaccines getting out there are going to have a MASSIVE impact on knocking down this pandemic.
But isn't it commonly accepted that ML systems reflect the bias in the data, and that it's hard to predict and control the bias in advance?
And cars are frequently used to smuggle illegal goods.

Renewable power and everyone being off-grid are not the same. I think we'd all like to be off-grid, but it won't be possible for everyone (eg: people living in apartments).

Curious to know, how much power do you get during the winter vs summer?
Where I work, lock-in is actually embraced. Homogeneity is valuable. It is a boogeyman in HN but the concern does have merit, for sure.
Even if it were the case, responding to "retract this paper" with "No; I prefer to resign" is/should be par for the course for a researcher.
Drug Reverses Age-Related Cognitive Decline Within Days
Final level is heroine, meth, etc, Im pretty sure cocaine was in the lowest prescription level. If anyone knows the article I'm talking about I'd really like to re read it.
"Product Manager" is a title that means different things to different companies, ranging from mini-CEO to Jira-monkey, and everywhere in between. You are absolutely correct to be talking to many different people to understand this slice of the industry.

I'd ask them what PMs do in their organization, what POs do, and what the difference is in their mind. Ask what level of detail they operate at, what they delegate to others, and what types of things are expected to be passed up to their boss.

You also might get interesting perspectives if you explore outside the software industry. Product managers exist in all kinds of companies, with the same overall goal to understand the market and produce the correct product under the correct business model. But the day-to-day of a software PM is vastly different than the day-to-day of a PM that produces retail goods, for example.

Yup, the interesting data point would be what did Amazon pay for their oracle usage vs smaller companies? I would guess that as long as Oracle gave them a reasonable price Amazon would be happy to stay on - except for a question of long term independence and vertical integration.

Amazon is probably in a unique position in that providing data and database services is a core competency, and so vertical integration off of Oracle makes a lot of sense even separate from the cost leverage question.
Should You Explain to an Expert Why Their Professional Opinion Is Wrong?

In the article it says the company wanted the author to retract their paper. Doesn't sound like they were being vague about it.
So when we speak of body fluids transmitting STDs during intercourse, particularly HIV, are we talking specifically about semen and preejaculate for men and cervical mucous for women?

And do those virus particles wind up in those fluids not through any targeted mechanism but rather are pervasive in the blood and essentially leach out into all tissues and interstitial fluid? So when the semen is generated and collected in the epididymus they've been soaking in virus contaminated fluids lying dormant until release? Is that accurate?

Also for the women half I suppose the mucous glands on the cervix make a steady release of virus particles? What's going on here exactly with these viral mechanisms as they relate to tissues and the fluids they produce and precisely how the virus winds up in the fluids.
And yet the most unionized industry in the US (at like 75% of overall union membership) is white-collar federal employment.

There's nothing working class about that.
They were doing hourly inspections of the structure ever since the report came out a couple of weeks ago.
> 4 of the cores on the M1 are efficiency cores and are very low performance (but sufficient performance, at incredible efficiency, for a lot of casual ongoing background things).

I think you're underselling the small cores a bit. Their microarchitecture is roughly comparable to a Cortex-A75, which was the high-performance cores in Snapdragon 845 phones like the Samsung Galaxy S9. But Apple clocks them about 26% slower than the SD845 did, so maybe we should be comparing against Galaxy S8 instead: flagship Android performance from 3 years ago. That's capable of a lot more than just casual background processing. Samsung introduced their DeX docking station for smartphone-powered desktop usage back with the S8 generation, when their phones only had as much computational power as the Apple M1's smaller cores.
I think the only long-term solution is cultural. Different cultures have different relationships to intoxicants, and they can change over time. Over the last 60 years in America, drunk driving "high-functioning" alcoholism has been denormalized. It's still a problem for a lot of people, but there's more "loss of face" associated.

Looking at the stoners I knew in college, you'd think that pot was a pretty destructive drug. But now, working with successful professionals who buy dispensary weed on the weekends, it seems like harmless fun. Besides any class stuff going on there, I think that hanging out with people who want to do bong rips and zone out on the couch leads you to a different relationship with THC than having friends who will look down at you if you get too high to hold a conversation.

A Peruvian friend told me that their mother served coca leaf tea to the family on a regular basis. It was traditional, it wasn't treated any differently than we'd treat coffee, and it hadn't led anyone in her extended family to seek out more refined versions.

So how would cocaine legalization look in America? Would coca tea go on the menu at Starbucks? Would people stop there, the same way that lots of folks drink a pot of coffee a day but relatively fewer take caffeine pills? Probably not, that's not how we do things here. Without regulation, bodegas would be selling single-serve bumps in little tear-open packages with Scarface on the label. We will sell you as much "here, go destroy your life" as we can.

Up to a point, regulation can tamp down the market for cheaper and more powerful intoxicants (like, alcohol prohibition was hopeless but cities can successfully prevent malt liquor and everclear sales if they think that cuts down on alcohol-related deaths) But I think that attempting to shape the culture of consumption around a drug is probably a better long term strategy than full prohibition.
Agreed.

>Do you know what happened since? Silencing in the most fundamental way possible.

"Silencing in the most fundamental way" to me means physically clapping your hand over someone's mouth or murdering them, neither of which I believe she actually meant. This email would have greatly benefited from peer review.
Exactly! Credit Card fees are supposedly set according to risk. However, the way the networks are setup is a legacy from last century.

The way I always think of it is like this: You would NEVER accept to pay to send an email per number of the words in that email, at the end of the day it is just transferring bytes. However the payments industry has been working like that for too long, why does the cost of sending some "money transfer" bytes be a function of the number you are sending? (like, sending $9156 is more expensive to transfer than $100000 bc of compression)

That's why I joined Paystand [1] to do "Payment as a Service". Similarly how you pay a fixed monthly a month to receive emails, you should be able to pay a fixed amount to receive payments (using the Paystand network). Nevertheless, we have to support legacy networks such as Mastercard, VISA or Amex which still charge customers per transaction.
