You know, it is possible that many people like Facebook as it is today considering that it's the most popular social network in the world. I'm also really curious what additional freedom and control over their devices consumers would gain from this antitrust suit given that no one is coerced into using Facebook (or Instagram, WhatsApp etc) and Facebook doesn't even make the devices that run those apps.
Both full time SWEs. The gap exists, you can ask around. It's widely known at Google.

> Without knowing more context, it sounds like she tried to do some hardball negotiating by threatening to leave, and got her bluff called.

Or she was on her way out anyway (or at least ambivalent about staying, it sounds like) and wanted to provoke Google to fire her. These days getting fired as a female minority is a good way to elevate your reputation among a certain crowd, maybe get a more lucrative offer elsewhere, and possibly get a payday if your employer didn’t have good lawyers.

Just look at her Twitter mentions right now, she’s getting an enormous amount of attention, including job offers and lawyer recommendations.
There's no legal requirement for a termination process in the US. A company may choose to give notice, but with a few rare exceptions, they can fire you on the spot at any time for any reason if they want to.

I rather have an open source console ($300) or phone ($400) so I have one specific hardware to test against that most people can afford and have anything spec higher conform to the lower one so people don't have to test dozens and dozens of hardware (friend told me his company has 20+ android phones that they MUST test against because they all glitchy)
How what is possible? That there's a Christian non-profit or that they accept embryo donations?
If you actually want to be effective, the solution is to fix the union, not to engage in completely inoffensive tactics.

I don't doubt that a great many unions are horrible. For a great many reasons, unions are often, but not always, structured horribly with badly mismatched incentives, almost no democracy, and poor accountability. There are reasons for this, that can and have been addressed.

You're simply never going to be able to outcompete your employer in legalized bribery. It won't happen.

Also, if the PACs you're talking about ever get actually influential, there will be just as much politics involved. And you still haven't adresses the most important point, which is that your employer can retaliate against you for doing so without any problem.

In any case, unions can be and often are better, and can be and indeed often are hundreds of time more effective than what you're describing ever can be.
Ethical AI is, like many things "ethical" which originated in elite universities, not really all that ethical at all. It's leaders often have a warped ethical framework as well. That's my take on this.
It is definitely for discoverability!
Troubleshooters never worked for me as well. It's hard NOT to try a troubleshooter, because it's suggested by Windows on every occasion, but after I've discovered that "troubleshooting" in Windows terms means "first try restarting the service, then try restarting the computer, then try reinstalling windows" then indeed I've stopped trying them completely.

I mean, if the user doesn't change system settings at all and uses external drives for their cat pictures then reinstalling the system isn't such a bad advice. The problem is that if someone uses Linux, then this person isn't satisfied with this style of system usage.
> You're stating it like only lottery players don't understand probabilities.

OP doesn't say that literally, and I'm not reading it that way, either.

> In fact, most lottery players I've met DO understand probability

That's great! However, OP might be talking to and about different people here. People who don't know probabilities well exist, and some of them play the lottery. In fact, I think there's a lot of them.

I think all OP is saying that it's better for people to understand probability better, and then decide to play the lottery, like the people that you're talking to.
How to Make Your Code Reviewer Fall in Love with You
Welcome to the Hunger Games Economy
As someone who lives in a small rural town I highly doubt that. The percent has been consistently going down over time, not up and covid housing movement is nowhere near enough for that large a shift in one year.

Suburbs are significantly more people than small towns, and large metro areas in general hold vast majority of population.
Ohhh yes you can. Especially when you include equity which is outside the salary band stuff.

You can absolutely get paid that much more. Companies make exceptions all the time and justify two people doing the same job by paying more if someone is more experienced even if the technical skills performed and responsibilities by both people are equal. Instead of being rewarded for working twice the hours to learn something faster due to whatever reason someone can still be paid more for basically accomplishing the same amount of progress in their career but taking more time to do it.

Trust me there are all kinds of reasons you can get paid three times more.
Do you know what the demands were? I don't think anyone has published them yet.
This is really obviously clear to the point wherein it shouldn't be a discussion. Anyone with two years in any industry has to know this.

If you make an ultimatum to your employer, and they don't want to accept, assume that it's over, right then and there.

Unless you're Michael Jordan, or have some kind of really existential terms with the company.

What good is that if you're an "at-will" employee? They can just change the rules at any time for any reason and fire you if you don't agree to them.

I have enough experience to know absolutely nothing about me employer is guaranteed/permanent in the US.

Relevant story for the HN crowd: I worked for a small company (~250 employees). Real chill place. Six months after I start they were suddenly bought out by a huge multinational corporation. First order of business is everyone needs to sign a non-disclosure agreement and an agreement that the company owns all the code you write while employed with them, even if you do it on your own time. There were some people who were reluctant to sign, it was made extremely clear that if they didn't sign they would be unemployed.

That one didn't bother me, I only code at work anyway. What did bother me was at another employer right after I became eligible for the employer's (generous) match on my 401(k) (after 1 year employment) an email went out a few weeks later saying "Sorry, we won't be matching 401k contributions anymore."

I know a guy (very senior engineer) who negotiated that he would be working from home 3-4 days a week before taking a new job. Employer agreed. Few months later line manager notices that employee is not logged into whatever work chat they use in the middle of the day. Not habitually, once. Next day it was announced that there will be no more working from home.

At the end of the article, he says he’s “been living in a maximalist Airbnb”, the pictures of which are an understated version of what has been known as “Santa Fe Style”. You want maximalist, we can show you maximalist, but this is pretty typical for New Mexico interiors.

Oh what I meant for tiny before was a product you literally built within 24 hour. (Or probably a week). Also, in my case here it usually like an info product or some graphic assets that I can built within short time. In days, probably.

However, nice to know from your perspective, that $500 is actually quite big in my country (a developing one). So really appreciate that info @onecommentman
Wouldn't that go both ways though? Why was Gebru so confident that the bias is because of something else other than the training dataset? She immediately assumed that there are other items contributing to the bias and devolved the quality of the conversation as well by making those claims in a frustrated/exasperated tone.

The most obvious and easiest way to clear this up would be for the original researches to train the model on a "Senegal" dataset as mentioned by LeCunn and see what the results are.

> I doubt this actually holds, because thermodynamics.

I trust vegan thermodynamics as much as I trust vegan logic, vegan honesty or vegan diet. So if I am a bit skeptical, I hope you understand.

> Since meat animals neither photosynthesize nor can they convert energy from plants with 100% efficiency, eating meat means you just indirectly eat even more plants.

Because humans can convert energy from plants with 100% efficiency right? Humans are much less efficient than herbivores. So using your logic, we are back to eating herbivores. Sorry.

> We could farm people and kill them for meat by the same argument kill less animals by the numbers.

"it's sophistry"

"The best diet for humans, animals and the environment is the hunterer gatherer diet. Unfortunately, that isn't possible with modern civilization. So the current industrialized omnivore diet is the best we can do. If you truly want to destroy the environment and animals, then industrialized veganism will do that."

If you truly care about the environment and animals, then go live a hunterer gatherer life. It's the absolute best diet you can have for the environment and animals. If you hate animals, environment and humans, be a vegan. I know your lack of nutrient has robbed you of your ability to concentrate and think, but try your best. Even a vegan suffering from vegan mental fog should be able to understand why the hunter-gatherer diet is so good for the environment and animals.

Who do you think harms the environment more? A privileged virtue signaling vegan consuming a globalized industrialized vegan diet or a native living off the land? Which do you think is responsible for more pollution, oil use, animal deaths, etc? The privileged virtue signaling vegan.
In theory the free meal was on him, right? The rich business guy could easily pay for the meal out of his pocket, and the police chief actually choose to use his power (as suggested) to get a free dinner. I am not saying it is not true.

>There is still a civil way to accept a resignation, with proper timelines and transfer of responsibilities.

that just reminded how Marisa resigned - if i remember correctly she just called on Monday morning to notify that she is already at Yahoo. So the "at-will" works both way.

>> certain aspects of the email you sent last night to non-management employees in the brain group reflect behavior that is inconsistent with the expectations of a Google manager.

as my friends managers explained to me - a manager represents the company to employees, i.e. when a manager speaks it is basically the company speaks and thus [until the company reacts quickly by disowning the manager's words] the company bears the burdens and responsibilities that the manager made promises/representations about - similar to that relationship between Pope and God pictured in the Dogma - so managers are trained to be very accurate with their words, and understandably a manager going off-rails is like a fire emergency to be dealt with immediately.

Against Redeeming Catastrophe: In Memory of Ruth Klüger
Illegal numbers would never reach 5% of the revenue of legal state lotteries. Probably not even 1%. Plenty of law-abiding people with little or no connection to any underworld activity are nevertheless bombarded with legal state-run lottery ads out in the open and available to play at the grocery or convenience store they visit frequently, even daily -- illegal games wouldn't have ads, wouldn't be at 7-11, drawings wouldn't be televised. Further, all numbers games are low-stakes... there is no crime syndicate which could ever afford to run a Powerball or MegaMillions game with 9-figure prizes. Even 6-digit prizes wouldn't be affordable, even if it was, who would ever trust an underground game with that kind of money?
Indeed. Can you imagine the alternate reality if the Saudi branch of Islam was something more like Sufism instead of Wahhabism, given the number of mosques the Saudis have funded all around the world with petrodollars?
> IPv6 is better than IPv4 in literally every sense

The addresses are harder to type, harder to yell across an office while setting up equipment, and impossible to remember. I honestly think this is it’s major failing that has prevented wider adoption. Aesthetics make a big difference, like it or mot, and IPv6 is far less accessible than IPv4.

Beyond that, IPv4 is arguably generally simpler for someone not well versed in networking to get a baseline understanding of.
That depends, full AC draws 5kw for me, so you'd need probably a 10kw system to get coverage for most of the day, and that's a big one, I think requiring a 3 phase connection. I dare say unless you have a fortunate roof shape (all flat or pointing all the right way) you wont be able to fit that on either..
Fake news, I'm underrepresented and I never felt like one, I hate playing the minority card and I just focus on being a top performer. Some teams at Google cry all day specially non-eng folks playing the minority card because their work can't be quantified. So they mix up their lack of skills with race BS. I was a SWE and was actually pay very fairly for the work I did, that was my presentation card.

I've never heard about - and experienced myself - such erythropoiesis stimulation side effect of Nootropil. Is it documented in multiple solid studies somewhere? I'm wondering about whether it might be a potential side effect of a very limited scope (i.e., affecting only a small subset of people).

I have never tried modafinil (or any other nootropics) - will read more about it. However, based on my very brief review, it appears to be much less safe than Nootropil along with a questionable effectiveness as a "cognitive enhancer". Plus, unlike Nootropil, it is considered a controlled substance in the United States.

Do we even know what her demands were? I haven’t seen them posted anywhere. That said, it’s not behooven on either party to be transparent — to the public, or even other employees — because that’s just lawsuit bait.

All we know is that she gave a hardball ultimatum, and Google accepted option 2. I don’t know enough about what’s going on, but if you say “Do this, or I quit,” you have to be prepared for them to show you the door immediately. That’s how at-will employment works.

I've worked with the UAE's SWF, and imo, they'll never collapse. Corruption is nonexistent nearly in the investment authorities, since they are highly regulated and treated essentially as defacto Western companies listed in the NYSE or something.
