Henry Ford paid his workers shockingly high wages for the time, which enabled them to purchase the cars they built. A mass consumer economy ensued.

Given the state of consumer indebtedness now, I think our economy is actually underperforming because there is not enough demand due to low wages.

The problem with Fordism is that if you are a manager, there are strong incentives for your firm to defect from paying high wages. If you are the only firm doing this, the consumer economy still hums and you have larger margins. If all the firms do this however, consumers' spending power diminishes over time.

Once the tide has turned, defection becomes a matter of survival as high wage firms become uncompetitive.

Someone like Jeff Bezos has enough market power and technology to turn the tide again like Henry Ford. But he chooses not to.
A factor is that the they have scientist running around their lab growing it. That labor isn't cheap.

The problem is that subreddit is very prone to heterogeneous opinions and groupthink, even among niche subreddits, mostly around what's appealing to mid-20 year old white US males.

The discussion is often very shallow, mostly aimed at "advanced beginners" because that's what appeals to the widest audience and anything else doesn't get traction, unlike in a traditional forum. This is very obvious if you're into a technical hobby like climbing or mountaineering.

Basically, if you don't fit the demographic / skill level mold, even niche subreddits (that aren't the dumpster fire that the large ones are) quickly lose their value.

Exactly. The issue they seem to be having is that they finally have to experience the game like _the rest of the playerbase_ does.

I have played games without SBMM (Destiny 2 recently switched away from it in certain game modes) in periods when the sweatiness is particularly high and people join as premade teams to stomp some noobs. Let me tell you that as a casual PvP player, it absolutely ain't fun.
I suspect you're being downvoted because this post sounds like a denial of very real issues of sexism and racism.

However, the suggestion that employers will work to identify and preemptively reject employees with an SJW bent is not only sound but almost certainly already underway.
Moderna's third stage trial consisted of 30,000 recipients (presumably that means 15,000 since half of them would have received a placebo.) Added with the previous two trials, you'd expect even the rarest reactions to start showing up already.

You can expect that if there are indeed super-rare novel responses, they'll come to light over the approximately year-long roll out.

Additionally, even though vaccines will be rolling out, Moderna is holding 88 trials over the next 2 years. So they're not just ending the trials and injecting everyone they can.

That's just the one company. Pfizer and the others should be similar.

The article mentions rotorcraft, but I would imagine the technology works for propellers just as well, wouldn't it? And many drones in the army are exactly as pictured, propeller driven fixed wing aircraft.

I agree it does seem to be confusing as to exactly what this applies to though. The wording says one thing, but the picture and common sense seem to indicate it may not be as specific as that? /shrug
> You want to strive to test that logging logs and observability observes?

A test that calls code (which counts as code coverage) does not have to verify that something specific happened. Often, this is a weakness of a test. The test does not verify what you think it would for various reasons...visibility, access to resources, etc.
This. I have been arguing the unpopular opinion that most AI ethics work in corporate settings is not designed to empower real research. It was a matter of time before an actual researcher with an ethical compass was removed unceremoniously. Anyone in an AI ethics team at a large company — you need to know exactly what your job means to the company, because it isn’t safe.

That's one of the reasons that a lot of streamers just play with other streamers in squads. Winning a shooter game as a streamer is easy specially with Battle Royale games.

You have huge advantage just playing with your friends in a party because most of the other players don't even use microphone to communicate with their squad, and those that do are just random players matched together.

Also popular Battle Royale games are cross platform which means you play against a lot of console players. A lot the console gamers play on high latency TV screens with WIFI connection. Not to mention that an average console player can't aim as good as an average PC player.
Are people really harvesting links on /newest? You guys should know better of course, but I always thought what drove an article to the top was multiple people submitting the same link. That was my reasoning for a 24h window defining a submission.

For me, it's pretty unprofessional (and cowardly) to hire a well-respected ethics researcher, write some PR pieces about how the company takes ethical actions seriously, and then tell her that her publications have to follow the party line and cannot overly criticize the company.
Back in my undergrad software testing course, we were taught test coverage in the context of a control flow graph.

I think most coverage measurements (at least in the GitHub projects where I've seen a coverage badge) only refer to statement coverage where it checks if every node of the CFG is reached. It's one of the weakest forms of testing and will rarely reveal the more obscure bugs that edge/(simple, prime, complete) path coverage testing can reveal.

I personally think the industry should stop using (node) coverage as some kind of golden metric.
As I tried to note in the final paragraph (I would clarify in hindsight), I'm not trying to say exactly why Hsieh fell — I'm trying to warn others who might fall in a predictable (to me) manner, by drawing parallels to elements that are familiar from Hsieh's story.

Two or three of those I've seen fall are exact fits for "I went from working hundred hour weeks to quasi-retirement", and they did not treat their burnout with the respect and healing I feel it requires. When they took away the overwork, the unhealed burnout smoldered and eventually caught fire and burned them, weeks or months later.

Is this what took down Hsieh? I haven't a clue, and it's unlikely I'll ever know, and I certainly don't intend to bother anyone to learn more about his circumstance. His friends are having a bad enough time as it is and I empathize too strongly to press for more knowledge.

Is Hsieh's story familiar from personal experience? Yes, absolutely. In the couple of press articles I've read, and a couple of quotes from a letter from a friend to him in one of them, there is certainly material enough to remind me of others I've known who worked themselves to the bone, sold it all and rested, and then a while later (a few months to a couple years) self-destructed.
I thought those numbers sounded a little exaggerated and hand-wavey too. I highly doubt this takes into account things like emissions from vehicles used to transport the meats, for example.
We sure could reduce a lot of unnecessary spread by having people no longer physically moved in and out of police cars, jails, courthouses, and prisons for no good reason.

Policies and/or sort of policies can always be weaponized. A highly legible ruleset with less "sort of" might lower the barrier for new contributors but come with its own tradeoffs. Rigidity, for example.

Is getting more contributors involved a limiting factor for wikipedia? Wikipedia's goal isn't necessarily to maximize the number of contributors, or articles. They aren't facebook.

Ultimately, wikipedia is still pioneering its space. There isn't really anything else like it, and all considered, it works remarkably well. I don't see how any version of wikipedia could really avoid adversersarial dynamics. It's those adversarial dynamics that make decisions, even though clear policies or authorities don't really exist. Sure, many will find it alienating. Most people don't need to edit wikipedia for it to work though.

I think what we need is other wikipedia-like things. The ideal solution to a lot of deletionists problem would be more highly active sites that work in different ways.
Awesome. If people are interested in this, I highly recommend checking out the nonprofit Good Food Institute at https://gfi.org/

yes, one might make a moral judgement that exploitation is a tendency of capitalism, if one believes that people who control more capital have structural power over those who control less or no capital, thus narrowing the viable subjective preferences in a way that is "bad".

but ltv on its own provides no such judgement, it simply describes the material relationship.

I have seen more than a few problems be caused by this not being done right. IIRC it was an element in the events that destroyed Knight Capital in just a few minutes.

If there is something in your code that can put your system in an inconsistent state, and your testing has not covered that scenario, then it is irrelevant what percentage of the code was covered by that testing. This combinatorial complexity and history-dependence is the reason why code coverage is a misleading indicator of quality: 100% code coverage is very far from 100% scenario coverage.

> Private markets take 3-5% of a deal

In my experience, spreads are closer to 1 to 5%. The upper end of that spectrum dominates in the trading employees' shares, however, so there is a fair point here.

That said, CartaX isn't comparable to the open secondary markets. The latter are continuous. CartaX is periodic.

The better comparison is Nasdaq Private Markets, who offer a similar tender offer platform. Last time I checked, they charge a fixed fee plus something like $500 per trade. Compared with this, the 2% CartaX charge is only competitive for <$25,000 transactions.

> won't do anything below $100K

This is generally correct for open market trades. (Though folks like EquityZen are pushing the envelope on minimum transaction sizes.) It is not true for tenders.

CartaX looks like a pricier Nasdaq Private Markets. Perhaps that premium--and the ongoing disclosure requirements and lock-in--is worth paying for some issuers.
Right. She offered her resignation. Google mishandled it, but obviously, she was ready to be thrown out of the organization. So saying "She could have stayed if only ___" misunderstands the entire situation - she wasn't trying to stay. She was trying to get the world to understand something about Google and how ethical the folks in charge of Google's AI are.
Thanks for the very helpful feedback.

Last time I used Fastmail, I had to manually setup the aliases in advance, before they could receive mail. It also isn't possible to send from aliases on Fastmail. I find Fastmail's UI/UX to be too cumbersome for what I want to do with my email.

Once I've added a few more key features and polished the UI a bit, I am planning on revamping the landing page to make things clearer.

Thanks again for the feedback. It's incredibly useful.
I think this is all nonsense.

Chickens are incredibly efficient meat production machines. The feed conversion ration on chickens is 1.6: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feed_conversion_ratio#Poultry – that's incredible to consider, 1.6 pounds of feed turns into 1 pound of chicken!

Chickens don't just produce meat, they are self-contained meat growing machines with components to support that growth, including the ability to extract and filter nutrients from food with limited processing, a built-in enclosure for the process with self-healing abilities, a control system to deliver nutrients periodically and maintain system temperature, control systems to create a balance of nutrients at the cellular level, resilient systems to deliver those nutrients, and on and on.

No lab will be as efficient in making chicken meat as a chicken is. And it's not because God got it right the first time around: chickens are human products, but a chicken is product that leverages all of the resilience, complexity, and power of a full organism.

Look at the past. Computers are making us sad, mad, bad, but rarely glad. The subconscious works on us when we are not thinking. It brings up feelings we don't know what to do with because we don't understand them. The world is complex and we are sometimes tormented in our dreams. Technology is touted as a thing in itself. It all started so innocent. Just beepabopaboop. We crave meaning in our lives. Computers are not delivering this to us. Do we need more entertainment and trivia? We need to remember what it is that makes us who we are.
This is a very good way to put it.

The super pedant in me, of course, would say they're a sliver in the middle because they're targeted at running in a software-implemented VM instead of on a real machine architecture, and that this isn't all that different from in-memory interpreter bytecode or something like a .pyc written to disk...

But then something like the more complicated loaders for native executables is a sliver in the middle, too. And then you look at something like the AS/400 with super-high level "instructions" and these distinctions get super, super muddy.
I've been using GitHub issues for this for a couple of years, and I really like it.

Any time I run into a bug, no matter how minor, I open an issue for it. I then use comments on that issue to track every step I use to fix it - adding screenshots, pasting in blocks of command-line output, linking to debugging tools I use etc.

I usually end up with an issue thread with a dozen or so comments, all by me. I often refer back to old issue threads to remind myself how I debugged something.

Here's an example from yesterday: https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1124
Isn't the definition of "ultimatum" that no further compromise is possible? You can try or offer different alternatives, but if the other person is really at the ultimatum stage then you've both already lost.

IFrames were invented later (and initially, only in IE). You also didn't ever need to put the applet in a separate frame. You could just put the applet on the page. Indeed, putting it in a frame would have defeated the purpose, because there was no way to communicate across frames at the time.
> Ideally their kid should still have access to public school education, with all the tools needed to go on to become successful themselves.

Ideally, but in reality public education is not an equalizer like that. Wealthy parents give their students advantages that school can't provide in our society: e.g. upper class culture and habits, resources for extra education, connections, etc.

Even the institutional bits aren't equal: local property tax based funding mechanisms mean richer people live in better-resourced school districts than poorer people, with better educational opportunities.
Isn't that a different idea than a timetable? "We're aiming for one train every 10min" and "there's a train at 12.10, 12.20, 12.30" are similar, but not quite the same. You can get your approximation without a timetable though.
Hit us up on Twitter.

Eh, I think not.

The "commands" I create are, most often, small tools for my own use, so I don't worry about making the names short.
I always try to make the name a verb, or include a verb, e.g. "fetchbookmarks", "deleteduplicates"; one exception would be in the case of converters, in which case "convert" is implicit, e.g. "csv2xml" or whatever; and there may be other cases where the verb is implied.
The Huffman Coding is important, though, and I have made some tools I use a lot, so I gave them short names. I use gvim a lot, and the wrapper I wrote for it (which does smart finding - it will load foo.cpp wherever it is under your cwd, as long as there's only one) I named g. I don't expect to distribute this tool, so I don't care. :-)
Perl is still actively developed and used. It definitely doesn't have the market share it once had but I wouldn't go so far as to call it dead.
Exactly.

If managing people were the same skill set as computer science perhaps we would not be seeing this play out as it has.

This is seriously a massive failure on the part of Google to handle their own shit. I often wonder if these people are too old or out of touch to appreciate how this kind of thing may or may not blow up on social media.

To not consider how this might cause public relations issues especially when dealing with someone who has an established social media presence seems like a misstep.

On the flip side maybe they thought it was worth it. Weather the storm for a few days and twitter will move one. It's hard to say.

Oh, absolutely. I'm actually pretty sure I can count on one hand the amount times I've seen any of my friends / clan mates who consistently play pvp modes blame themselves for a loss. They are very quick to assert that they're "carrying" when they win, though.

Depends on who is understanding or not, if they reject it.

However, evolving perspective is good as we see past assumptions, not facts, are always wrong to some extent.

Not sure how QM changed who though.

That everything is interconnected and complex, is not new logic at all. Maybe this brings artifacts across scales too. However we only observe effects. Period.

Maybe what is needed is humility.
My favourite part is when Mozart was messing with Salieri's piece.

"The rest is just the same, isn't it?"

And that laugh... I'll never get that laugh out of my head.

Salieri was painted in quite a negative light in the film, though. He was actually a decent musician and a very good teacher. The portrayal as a bitter, envious composer was probably created just to provide a meaningful villain against Mozart in the film.

I understand some of the reasons why some managers think that way, but you can't have such simplistic rules.

An ultimatum like this is an opportunity for a responsible manager to talk and rethink, but it seems like Google jumped at the opportunity to double-down on their mistake and then send out cowardly emails claiming the employee had actually resigned.

If I were to apply a simplistic rule here, I would actually invert it - if you get to a point where you are sufficiently undervalued that you feel the need to issue an ultimatum, you basically have to resign.

Custom attributes (without data-*) are invalid HTML unless you're using them on a custom HTML element. If you're defining a custom element, you're responsible for defining what its attributes mean - outside of that, no they aren't allowed and yes they are unsafe to use, and restrict the standards bodies from being able to move forward freely without risking breaking the web because of invalid code in the wild.
