I've essentially done this. I was in a location where flying the drone was 100% going to get me in trouble. So, I fired up the app, started the camera, and carried the drone above my head as I ran down the street. The gimbal was active and in the end, looked like a drone shot. Did the same thing shooting from the backseat of a convertible. People still ask how I got the footage.
I think you might have the wrong end of the stick.
> I'd really love for the pressure against public transportation in the United States to abate

Biggest issue is that America is so vast. Take for instance where I live. I am 15 minutes by car (going about 55mph) from anywhere. Public transport is only feasible in heavily populated areas.

I've read her email. In my first job, right after college, I have also sent an inflammatory email (nothing compared to the email she has sent) to my manager (not a whole group of coworkers). And I got seriously reprimanded for it by my then manager. Even after a decade I cringe when I remember the email I wrote. I have no idea why people think it's okay to send emails like this and expect not to get fired.

Yeah, to me the solution is configurability with sensible defaults. It increases the work of the developers, but it has the benefit of reducing the number of decisions the developers have to make on behalf of the user.

> not seen that much drama about it than one post

This morning, there were front-page posts about this on the New York Times, Washington Post, Wired, Google, BBC, and Financial Times. It's being covered pretty widely.
The complaint is coming from one of the best players in the world, so... skill based matching is... working. I don't want to play against him.
I'm the youngest of three boys. We were all D1 athletes. I'm the slowest by a pretty substantial margin.

However, I matured faster than my brothers and, having been able to observe them, picked up proper techniques and approaches to training earlier than they did. As a result, I broke many of their age-group records. Once I stopped growing, however, it came down to who had the most physical / mental talent (not me).

The other thing to mention is access to training. When I was in middle school, I was able to train with the high school team because my middle brother included me. I even got to go on the winter training trip to Florida with the high school team. That access to training with older kids who were bigger, faster and more mature accelerated my development both physically and mentally.

That is totally not the same thing as telling your fellow employees to stop working. I like to think I’m a pretty reasonable fellow, but it’s hard to see that point of view.

I felt similarly to you yesterday. Now I’m not so sure. It sounds like she was criticizing company process and was frustrated not being able to have any impact on what she perceived were real problems to the integrity of the process. I can empathize with that feeling, and I’ve done some embarrassing or unprofessional things when I was younger and slightly less wiser in similar situations.

I dunno mate, people here are suddenly trying awfully hard to repeat their points about her personal behavior / paint her as an unprofessional loon. And that’s a pretty convenient distraction if her criticisms were true, wouldn’t you say?
Capitalism unchecked tends towards monopolies and subsistence wage for those lucky enough to have a job. I agree this is a product of our human instincts, but the only thing stopping it - short of a revolution - are thoughtful laws designed to balance the entrepreneurial spirit with the need to treat everybody equitably.
You probably don't need to test any of those things but I would still expect them to be exercised. You can't very well test a class without constructing it.
At least where I've lived the trend for thrifting has mostly made thrift stores just as expensive, if not more, than going to your local fast fashion store and buying a $5-10 thing that will disintegrate after a year of laundry. In the same way that quinoa used to be a very cheap staple food but has been gentrified into an expensive health food.

There is also a floor for how cheap thrift stores can sell things, because it requires labor to sort through clothing donations and figure out what is actually still in resalable condition, and stores need staff as well.
> I'm curious to learn why you oppose legalization

For starters, a 20% increase in violent crime and significant increases in hospitalizations[1] directly related to marijuana use are two concrete examples. There are many more less-direct negative effects (e.g., insurance rates increasing for everyone due to marijuana-related accidents/injury) that probably aren't immediately reflected in public data, but are still detrimental to society.

I had the same issue with my startup a few years back that was classified as transacting via rebates. Because the payment method was a rebate against a purchase Stripe dismissed us. And, like Waffle_es, that's when I discovered Dwolla. Nothing against Stripe, every business can choose who they want to serve.
Years of having a mostly-unenforced law on the books have been devastating for the idea that we are a nation of laws. Every law needs to be consistently enforced or thrown away.

I don't like street parking. It's using public space to store private property.

This feels like the same argument that's been used in League, DoTA and Overwatch that implies the system gives you really bad teammates, and then good teammates. I'm trying to find where I read this, but essentially even minor differences in skill can translate to feeling like you are "curbstomping" the opponent.
There's a difference between Zen3 desktop chips and Zen3 laptop chips. The former has 2 pieces of silicon and the later has 1. They just aren't shipping yet, apparently some announcements are due at CES in January, it's unclear if there will be volume available then.

Much of AMD's current fab capacity is going for PS5 and Xbox X/S CPUs and of course the rather popular zen 3 desktops.
Hype is the product not devoid of imagination and until AI can match human imagination, then the hype will always be out of reach for some.

I would however have some concerns and the whole ethics of AI with imagination does open up many avenues of debate.
The article specifically discusses rotorcraft, but with a photo of a prop-driven airplane. Rotorcraft generate their lift using rotors. Prop-driven airplanes are not rotorcraft - they generate their lift with wings (and the rotor provides propulsion only).
A year ago, the hypothetical would have been "Intel is using x86_64, so AMD can match them".

The G3 and G4 chips were much faster in their time than comparable Pentiums, as well.

The M1 chip is faster, currently, but it's not invincible.
> But at the end of the day they have to do what's best for the business

Why? Why is this accepted in our society? Why do we have to overdo everything we do? To keep expanding in every way until we're met with opposition (of whatever form)? It is our nature as a dynamical system I guess.
But why can't we just relax and chill for a change? Why do we work our lives away for things that do not matter?
It seems weird to view it as an either/or. "Billionaires exploit people." -- "No, they build things people want."

I think that you may be able to become a billionaire without exploiting people, but it's like playing on the high-difficulty mode. In other words, it's easier to be "successful" (from a monetary point of view) when you don't care about others. It's also easier to be successful coming from a privileged background. What's more, there can be a correlation between only knowing privilege and not caring about others, which perhaps leads to the number of billionaires who exploit people (double-advantage).

But it's all very complicated. Sometimes a modest background is an advantage in that you have less to lose, and can provide unique insight in connecting with people. Or a modest background can lead to a survival-of-the-fittest or harsh-world mentality, which leads to the exact opposite, which can also be an advantage.

At any rate, I've chosen to play on high-difficulty mode, for better or worse.
I remember reading somewhere that this was likely to be the consequence of how distance metrics work in high-dimensional manifolds.

Excerpts were already being leaked on HN.

The 'email from Timnit' doesn't exactly look good... I would expect a manager posting company lists in that manner to be dismissed (or a junior employee to receive some mentioning about professional conduct, if not dismissed).

I don't believe anyone has published the ultimatum email, which I think would be more accurately described as what precipitated the outcome.
Did it blow up in Google's face? A bunch of perpetually angry people on Twitter are angry. So what? Google's actual operations are affected not only tiny bit by this episode. Outrage has no power.

Social media is not real life. Every company, Google included, needs to simply ignore social media outrage and focus on their mission instead.

Internet outrage only has power because companies give it power. Angry words and hit pieces from biased media do nothing on their own. If you don't let them make you afraid, you have no reason to be afraid of them. The internet screamed at Coinbase after the company showed their internal activists the door, but Coinbase is doing just fine. See? Nothing to be afraid of. Just get rid of troublemakers.

They're not, really. They lend themselves to monopolies and oligopolies, and lead to high levels of capital concentration and thus income inequality. Government intervention is required to correct this, but hasn't in over 40 years. I'm more or less making an appeal to authority to Piketty here but, people generally agree with him.

I keep roughly the same amount of clothes and get new articles if the existing ones get worn or no longer fits. Typically I'd purchase a few tshirts, socks and underwear at the half a year or a year mark to replace ones I've gotten rid of.

Lately though this hasn't been going as well. I think partly due to Covid lock downs I've gained some weight around the middle and some jeans no longer fit. I'm resisting buying replacement jeans hoping to lose the weight instead. Not going well so far.
Yeah, I discovered a while ago that spending more for good clothing that lasts a long time saves money over the long term versus buying cheaper clothes. I can get 10 years out of a nice Columbia or Carhart flannel, something I pick up on Amazon might be half the cost but it'll be less comfortable and last one season.
> In some jobs workers are given 20 PTO days to use as sick or vacation as they please. In other jobs workers are give 10 vacation days and 10 sick days.

To compare, this is how I have it, in Slovakia:

* 35 days paid vacation -- by law

* sick days as much as needed, with doctor's note -- by law

* 6 sick days without doctor's note -- company benefit

There is a limit for the extra sick days, that you can't take more than 2 in a row. You usually take them if you hope that the sickness will be over in a day or two, for example if you get a cold on Friday; or if for some reason you do not want to visit the doctor during the first day of sickness, perhaps because that's when you feel worst.
> I don't see a lot of benefit to using man pages other than "because that's how it's always been done".

Man pages are organized, categorized, indexed and searchable. It's a common format that can be read by multiple pagers (including dedicated GUI browsers for those so inclined). They're also available when the command might not be. There are definitely benefits over command --help other than the syntax of the invocation.

> I find pagers annoying because it's hard to switch back and forth between typing a command and the docs.

less -X

If people don't know about man, why not teach them? A simple line in the summary -h gives that says: For more information, read the man page: man foo.

> Plus, there's still the cross-platform argument.

This just makes me sad. I don't know exactly where we'd be if every computer system didn't feel it needed to be garbage just because Windows is. But I don't think it'd be quite as bad as where we are.
> already happened and assume it will happen again

Fully agreed, the performance is atrocious.

But a lot of other critics feel like the person haven't tried setting the view to "classic" or "compact".
From what I read it sounds like Timnit cleared the general idea of the paper 2 months before. The paper itself seems to have been submitted for approval 1 day prior to the deadline. Another HN commenter says that submitting papers for approval "hours" before the deadline is common at Google.

Agree on the tube in London. And it has many more challenges than Paris, narrower, deeper and older tunnels. But somehow it feels like a more civilised crowd, people are queuing, not pushing (the narrow crowded platforms would be lethally unforgiving) letting people out first, the cars and tunnels aren't filthy (with the notable exception of Saturday night).
Because they are a for profit business. As opposed to HN, which has a much more user friendly interface because this is not a for profit site.
>But they do have better rhetoric and are more invested in the debate

For anyone unfamiliar with r/sino:

They believe the Tienanmen Square massacre was justified

They believe the Uighur concentration camps are justified

They believe an invasion of Taiwan is righteous, and there is generally a lot of extreme vitriol directed at Taiwan and the Taiwanese

They believe in and spread a lot of misinformation concerning the HK protests, and there is generally a lot of vitriol aimed at Hong Kongers

You are banned if you question the CCP at all, with a most ridiculous ban message.

They are just as bad as r/t_d was.

Being anti-ccp is also not being an ignorant hater. Looking at their actions, it is a pretty reasonable stance.

Also, should be of note to other HN users, there is a reddit account with the name "dirtyid" which has a pro-CCP bias and a very strong anti HK democracy stance.
I really can't think of any green field project that would be started with PHP today. Maybe if there is some specification to use something PHP specific. But any use case I can think of, Python or node is a better choice. Maybe even Java. And Rust is on the rise now, in case speed is needed. PHP isn't dead yet. But it definitely is not growing.

Also arguing that choosing a language based on ugliness is a stupid idea is a stupid idea on itself. Quality of life during development is not an insignificant thing. The resulting project will suffer greatly if the chosen language makes me want to tear my hair out.
Perhaps prioritize a --help flag over a man page, but add both if time permits. In any case, a man page is static text and much easier to implement than --help, especially if you have multiple help modes (e.g. verbose or different sets of commands).

Not changing when your environment changes is how everyone who is out of touch ends up well, out of touch. If Genghis Khan was still around roaming the steppes pillaging I'd hardly excuse it with "he's independently minded and ignores people's expectations, it just pisses a lot of people off"

> I think you're seeking an explanation where one is not owed.

Forgive my curiosity and desire to make things better.

> If it wasn't working well, it would be changed, just like the brain teaser questions of the early 2000s pioneered by Google.

This is a gigantic assumption, though. Tech has been exploding for a long time and basically all companies are ravenous for engineering talent. It’s not at all clear to me that this interviewing process is the cause of this growth or in spite of it. If I had to guess I would bet they’re wholly unrelated.

> And look, I get it, it's frustrating. I share in that frustration as someone that wants to switch companies but knows that I will have to put in the effort outside of work to prepare for that.

I have no problem passing these interviews, I just think they’re silly. Their prevalence in the industry frustrates me because I think they give an unrealistic portrayal of what’s important in software engineering. But then again my greatest area of expertise is legacy software maintenance, which is the work that nobody else wants to do.

> But I still think the process is much more meritocratic and predictable than virtually every other industry.

That’s an extremely low bar.

My favorite approach that I’ve seen is Latacora’s hiring process, in which they give you a work sample problem that can be graded quantitatively in stages as well as any prep materials that you need for it.
IANAL, but my best guess is that she was just let go without cause. Your employer can fire you at any time and technically doesn't need a reason. Typically, "terminated with cause" is a specific thing where they fire you and give a specific reason (e.g. stealing) that might have bearing on whether you receive unemployment benefits, accrued vacation, etc. It's hard to imagine that they fired her in that way and that she was just plain-old-fired (there's a reason for it, but not legal cause).
Do you by have a link to the footage anywhere? I'd love to see how it turned out.
Eh, having studied prions (and related conditions, like diabetes, and alzheimers) I think it's just because they're "exotic". If I just called prion disease "contagious alzheimer's"... You'd probably be more scared of ebola, because the way that it kills you is more painful, and you're going to be isolated, so you will die alone except for by people in spacesuits, with the only major difference being that the prion diseases are currently incurable. But if an agent is being successfully weaponized, infrastructure for curing more conventional conditions would be stressed to the point where you would be likewise incurable (we were stressed in many places by COVID-19 and outside of the risk that you go critical, that is very much not a scary condition for a huge chunk even of people that get it).

Some cryptosystems like RSA are based on secret primes. Density of primes is about 1/log(n), so there are plenty of primes to choose from.

> Politics is fine.

Politics is fine if it's discussed like it is on HN†: level-headed arguments are debated, discussed, and, if a consensus isn't reached, we can agree to disagree. Reddit is polluted by absolute political drivel, except for a very small subset of subs. Low-effort "Trump is bad" posts that get massively upvoted just gets old after a while, especially when you see it every single day.

† HN has been historically center-libertarian (which is a bit of self-selection by entrepreneurial folks), but recently started leaning much more left, no doubt due to an influx of non-startup-founding users.
That's an angle I had not considered. She has a reputation for retaliation using -isms and those reviewers were able to successfully ask their employer for protections against a historically confrontational coworker. Google as a company takes the hit, as it is in their great interest to prevent their less-vocal employees from getting raked into a public fight.
