That would of course depend entirely on what the actual ultimatums were, the leverage and value each individual commanded within google, and to a lesser extent their history with the company.

The phrasing of your comment strongly implies you think her race or gender was a factor, which I think is a very odd conclusion to jump to if you don't have detailed information about all of the above. Do you?
Yes, if it happened then the hard forensic evidence is gone forever. The only remaining evidence would be witness testimony, and if anyone even remotely credible ever says a word they will be destroyed. So... yeah. The world will never get a solid answer on this one, sadly.
She wasn't asked to change it, and she didn't refuse. She was summoned to a meeting where she was informed that the paper must be retracted by her, due to substantive feedback that was provided anonymously, that would not be provided to her. She ask to be given the feedback and a chance to address it so that the publication process could continue. After some discussion, she was told her manager would be allowed to read her the feedback, but she wouldn't be provided a copy; regardless, the paper must be retracted. She was not given an opportunity to edit the paper based on the feedback.

This was the cause of her email to the list. Google hasn't disputed any of these details.
Was asking the same question myself. I am also on the same boat -- flipping through the apps to compare the prices. I thought maybe we are the minorities and the general public just downloads a single food delivery app. The same goes for ride hailing apps, too. An aggregator app that combines every delivery app may disrupt the system. Or maybe they will go for restaurant exclusivity instead of user loyalty. I don't know.
Wow, for such an expert you sure get a lot of things wrong and wrapped up in minor issues if no consequence.

1. Project Morpheus was a mostly inconsequential project just retreading the same areas pioneered by the DC-X.

2. Other than propellant, it has nothing to do with Raptor, likely the most advanced rocket engine ever made. The Raptor is the first successful full flowed staged combustion engine ever. This test alone demonstrates how robust it is in actual use across actual restarts.

3) The RS-25 was not reusable, every single one required many months and full rebuilds between flights. SpaceX has flown the same engines to space within a month with minimal maintenance.

4) The STS could not land autonomously, which is why two Astronauts has to risk their lives on that first launch. The Soviet Buran could and did land autonomously on its first flight.

5) BO isn’t even in the space flight business, it’s never out anything into orbit or even flown a single person or paid payload in its miniature sub-orbital rocket. BO is 15 years behind SpaceX in actual accomplishments.

6) Also you clearly aren’t qualified to judge Starship construction techniques. It’s payload and performance targets have been widely discussed and vetted.

Lastly NASA funded Falcon 9 development with the COTs contract, and got massive launch saving out of it. Far better deal than their Boeing contract. NASA has contributed almost nothing to Starship development other than jumping in late with a small Artemis contract and a tiny in orbit refueling contract.
And although there's other animals that either a) eat their spouses (spiders) b) eat their children (crocs), c) raid the nests of other species, kill their children and get the other species to raise ours (cuckoo).

Homicide, fratricide, patricide, theft, rape (gang and single) & torture are all common place in nature.

The list of atrocities of what's available in nature to me is never a good litmus test of what we as conscious humane beings should condone. We can do better than exhibit the mindless behavior (as a result of our desires) that animals do.
Sure, and you can do something similar with C and obtain a ~10kb executable, or even less if you put some effort. Or write that in Java and need a complex setup including the JRE and a bunch of packages to support it.

The point is that this makes deploying a Deno application simpler. Binary size is kind of the wrong metric to worry about.
That sounds pretty nice. I particularly struggle with density conversions. One teaspoon of flour is how many grams? It's just a quick search away, but having it natively in the app would be a big help.
No, the sense of "ex" here is very definitely "bereft of", and it is specific to financial English. (Why do you think it's being contrasted with cum?) Buying ex-dividend means you don't get the dividend.

It develops, through the phrase "ex-dividend date", from a special sense of ex in Latin when applied to times, meaning "after". (You can see exactly the same thing happening in English phrases like "from now on".) Originally, ex-dividend date referred to a date after the dividend date. This was reanalyzed as referring to a date upon which the instrument becomes "ex-dividend" [nonsensical in Latin], which required a reanalysis of ex as pertaining to the dividend rather than the date.

It is an error to talk about translating "Latin ex" here; this isn't a Latin ex.
Well, there's IronPython - https://ironpython.net/
No he absolutely did not. He tried to cheat through an outrageous request for hand recounts but only in counties he had won: https://www.law.gmu.edu/assets/files/publications/working_pa...

Specifically, he demanded recounts of under votes, where the machine hadn’t registered any pick for President. But he did so only in counties where he had won a large majority. Theoretically, this wouldn’t help. Statistically, Bush voters should have been as likely as Gore voters to fail to completely punch a ballot. But by only requesting recounts in counties he had won solidly—I.e. the base rate in the data set heavily favored Gore—newly discerned votes would break in heavily his favor. If he had won the county 2-1, he’d get two newly discernible votes for every one that Bush got.

This was an obvious attempt at cheating. So obvious that the Florida Supreme Court smacked Gore down and ordered a statewide recount. And the Supreme Court agreed 7-2 that recount was still unconstitutional because under votes were being counted using different standards in different counties.

Imagine if Trump had demanded hand recounts of under votes in this election in Wisconsin, but only those votes that were made in person on Election Day. This would be obvious cheating, since the pool of Election Day voters went heavily for Trump to begin with, so newly discernible votes would break for him as well. Gore did the exact same thing. And it would have been a huge news story if the media understood basic Bayesian probability.
Let's forget constitutional rights for a second.

The fact that Youtube is removing content about election fraud while leaving up much more egregiously false information is a huge red flag about their bias.

Have they taken down videos that blame George W. Bush and the federal government for the 9-11 attack?
I relocated to Singapore earlier in the year, and I have to say that the hawker centres here are amazing.

I know the economics require a bit of government intervention (and it only really works in a dense urban environment), but I would love to see more governments embrace this model.

That being said, I also expect that implementing this somewhere like Australia would also require a lot more security to deal with drunks, thieves and generic shitheads. So a lot of it is cultural.

What is too outlandish to you is not too outlandish to others. Some believe the 9/11 attacks were orchestrated by the CIA. Some believe the earth is flat. Some believe a Nigerian prince got their email address from their dead friend’s cousin’s mother’s embassy and is about to send them a billion dollars.

How can you be so totally confident that your own bullshit meter is accurate? Why do you think your confidence in your own ability to decipher fact from fiction is any different than people who believe complete bullshit?

If your main objection to censorship is that it is used to hide the truth, why don’t you object equally to people with megaphones intentionally flooding the zone with shit and distributors that enable that behaviour?

Just as the left–right political spectrum is actually more of a circle than a straight line, it seems to me that the spectrum of censorship vs free speech is also a circle. A bad actor may obfuscate truth through censorship; a bad actor may also obfuscate truth through massive volumes of misinformation. The latter is what is happening here. It’s a denial of service attack on human brains, and like a DoS attack, the only way to weather it is to filter the malicious traffic—you can’t just add capacity in the form of “good counterpoints” since human brains can’t scale like that.
You'd think we were in China considering how many people here think that our internet overlords know better about what we should and shouldn't see. Censorship in China is mostly through private platforms as well. And regardless of that, mostly people there buy the story that a particular bit of censored information is a threat to the nation and worthy of censorship.

Why is censorship suddenly a required response to every supposed existential threat to our nation now? In fact, this trend of censorship is an existential threat to the nation.
What SpaceX is doing is nothing like anything NASA has ever attempted.
One of the bigger differences to me are the limitations of Geforce Now's free plan. You have a queue to start a game, and a one hour session limit unless you pay up 5$/mo. So Stadia is cheaper at that point.

I think that Crunchyroll was successful because Japanese media companies considered the US market a joke. The companies that distribute anime in Japan never tried to sell into the US, they just assumed we weren't interested. Crunchyroll could then show up, say they had some customers willing to pay, and decided $LOW was better than $FREE.

It's still this way; you can buy anime box sets in the US for an entire series that costs less than a single episode in Japan. (They segment the markets by burning English subtitles into the actual video. No self-respecting Japanese person would buy that, right? Ironically region codes don't work because Japan and the US are in the same region! DRM fails again.)
They've already been heavily censoring covid news.
Hunter Biden story suppression comes to mind a few months back. Stories were technically true (or at least mostly true) but fact checkers were going crazy labelling stories as false to suppress propagation.
Linux or bust. I seriously don't see mac as an alternative at all.

How would they even know it's "non-hallucinogenic"?

Parenthetically, the term "halluciongen" is pejorative, and I wish at least researchers would have more sense than continuing to use it.

One of the reasons it's pejorative is that it demeans what one experiences when using such substances as "just a hallucination", whereas it's highly debatable whether that's in fact the case, or even what a "hallucination" is.

Some have argued that these substances open your eyes to the "true reality", and it's this reality that's illusory or false on some level. This is a view that goes back thousands of years back at least to Plato and Hinduisim before that, but even in contemporary society there are people who believe that these substances get one in touch with really existing spirits, or ancestors, or god.

It also demeans the experience as being valueless in itself. It's far from clear that it is, and many people consider the "hallucinations" by far the most valuable thing about the experience, and argue that it is by the revelations that they have on these substances that the beneficial effects come about. This is, as the existence of this paper shows, still an area of research, but this paper shouldn't be trying to close off that possibility by choosing to use terminology whose very definition presumes the contents of the experience is valueless.

Another reason it's pejorative is that there are people who consider these substances to be sacred or teachers, so to call them substances that merely induce hallucinations is disrespectful to these views as well.

conclude that we do not know what actually happened.

Coincidences can and do occur, even wildly unlikely ones. Investigating unlikely ones can bear fruit, but condemning on coincidence alone is not wise.

It seemed to me that Google handled their reaction to her paper in a very unscientific way. They refused to give her any real feedback on why they wanted the paper pulled and her ultimatum was about how to handle the situation. Maybe it doesn't rise to outrageousness but Google handled it in a very concerning way for employees who publish papers.
I'm waiting for them to acquire SadPanda.
At one one place I work we successfully contracted the authors of random GitHub projects to add features we needed, so it is definitely doable. I've also had companies/folks contact me randomly about improvements to open source projects I've worked on. For larger projects there are usually lots of consulting companies able to do that too.

It's very easy if you have incentive, or if you have nothing keeping where you are. Career criminals have every incentive in the world to move to a city where they'll be treated lightly, and often nothing holding them back.
And that bus happened to be traveling to a city which hosts a top-tier biolab with the world's foremost experts on bat-borne coronaviruses. Not a smoking gun, of course, but anyways I think your logical fallacy here is the "reasonableness" heuristic, in which you base the likelihood of some incredibly unlikely event on whether you can "imagine" some scenario where it happened. The fact that you can come up with a story to explain... well, I don't even know exactly what you're explaining, because it's really just a fragment of a chain of causation which has been mostly left unsaid. But anyways, I'm willing to wager that you know very little about disease transmission patterns so your intuition here is worse than ignorance.
The issue with the WSJ is the editorial board and the obvious mutual contempt between them and the news side. It’s not uncommon for the editorial board to run whackadoodle stuff that ends up being ripped to pieces by the news staff.

> They actually have metric to measure those things, it’s just that they prefer to dial down the heat, not kill it. It’s just too good for engagement.

To be fair they are clearly fighting a delicate balance of censorship and community moderation. It's different from say a forum of yesteryear, because a forum can have a clear set of community values that should work for everyone.

Facebook and all social media is a single platform for many communities, and so given the new role of moderator they are in the impossible position of making a set of community values that apply to all communities.

I think the reason a lot of material isn't outright banned where you or I would see obvious misinformation or hate is because of this.
This is an incredible bit of footage. It's so cool to see the engines looking sideways like a chameleon.

Raises a question: I suppose they fired 2/3 engines not because of a failure, but because 3 engines would produce too much thrust.

That does mean that in a high stakes situation (landing) you can't afford to lose an engine. I wonder if there's any margin there for lighting the third engine in case of engine failure.

YouTube's justification here is actually kind of fascinating. They note that since there is no longer a legal path to modifying the results of the election, they're taking the outcome of the US legal structure as a factual indicator of the status of the election results and justifying the takedowns on the basis that they lie about the historical outcome of the election. In essence, they are saying that the federal government is a primary source and they are deferring to the federal government.

I think it's obviously bending the spirit of their policy, but not technically wrong.
Some witnesses, yes, but afaict they've been recanted and refuted. More to the point, even the feds aren't saying that. All they're saying he did was point his gun. And that he was shot coming out of his apartment. And it doesn't sound like the cops announced themselves loudly enough for witnesses to hear.

Why why weren't there body cams and dash cams? Those readily-available evidence-gathering tools that are so necessary to deliver the accused to justice? Can we corroborate the police's accounts with hard evidence? No, for some reason, none of them thought that would be important. Ain't destruction of evidence if you don't collect it... no, you're not going to convince me that Reinoehl's death wasn't an execution.

Rittenhouse attempted to turn himself in, but was actually turned away. Reinoehl claimed self defense, but his victim was armed with a knife, not a plastic bag. It's true that Rittenhouse got hit by a skateboard later, but that was folks rightly defending themselves from an active shooter.

The problem with the cops isn't just racism, it's the whole authoritarianism thing too. Fascists love the cops and cops love them.

And the president celebrates the "hero" for murdering a person who threw a plastic bag.
This is really cool! I wonder how the performance would be on a Jetson Nano!
Yes that's right AnimeLab is owned by Sony. I wonder if they are going to consolidate the two into one service. There is currently a lot of overlap between the two catalogues and I can't imagine that's good in the long term...
Is there a right wing bias to HN?

She didn't resign. She wanted to have a discussion on her difference with the company and would agree to a date of resignation that would give her working colleagues time to adjust or takeover her responsibilities or whatever if they couldn't agree.

When a company arbitrarily sets the date of "resignation" without informing the party involved that is a dismissal.

What are the exact reasons Google stated for her dismissal?
Oh wow. Too quote:

The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States—Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m.on November 4, 2020,is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000.For former Vice President Biden to win these four States collectively, the odds of that event happening decrease to less than one in a quadrillion to the fourth power (i.e., 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,0004).

This - of course - is only true assuming votes are evenly distributed though out each state, and urban centers vote the same as country areas. He doesn't even mention that in his affidavit.

And he tries to use Z-scores to claim that it's impossible this mean people voted differently compared to 2016! That's ridiculous and - very notably - he fails to to do the same for eg Trump vs Romney or Obama vs Clinton.

No wonder trust in science is decreasing with people asking us to take this crap seriously.
Now you are just making things up. SpaceX definitely needed the COTS contract to build the Falcon 9, but NASA got a massive cut in launch costs out of it.

NASA has contributed very little to Starship development. The in orbit refueling experiment contract is tiny, as is their Artemis contract.

And Musk used a Falcon to promote SpaceX in Washington DC, what’s your point?
It's weird that we have people on the right calling for the death of gay people yet you find this objectionable. If this represents the tyranny of liberal hegemony then I'll gladly take it.
That's... not especially consistent with the facts that have come to light.

* Timnit pointed out that language models have unavoidable flaws, including reflecting racial biases in their training data. This is sort of an obvious claim if you ask me but google stands to make a lot of money if it isn't true.

* They demanded she take her name off the paper entirely. No changes requested. Research careers advance largely by publishing papers, and this is several months of her work they want disowned.

* She agreed to take her name off provided she could have an explanation of what she was and was not permitted to say. IMO being a researcher and having publications yanked at the last moment based on unspecified criteria is not a tenable position.

On one side, we have an unemployed researcher whose future credibility & employ-ability depend on not being caught lying (the easiest way to do this is not to lie, but who knows).

On the other side, we have a billion-dollar company who have not been shy about spending significant sums of money to push their PR lines.

Obviously either could be telling the truth but one seems markedly more likely than the other to me.
Unfortunately we (Cloudflare) can't allow Host header rewrites like this as they could be used to bypass other customers' Cloudflare security settings. However, both of your examples can be done with Workers. I wrote a more detailed explanation a while back here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25058579
Even if true--and this is disputed, to put it mildly--none of that means that enough judges or elections are corrupt enough to flip the result of the election.
What is the evidence of the said "ultimatum"?
> then in many scenarios it'd be a lot easier to deploy

It's not. Most advanced deployments nowadays use container orchestration where deploying is as easy. For simple deployments (eg SSGs) there're enough products on the market.

Integrating the build step hides it at the same time (good for beginners) but creates many other problems in the long run if we just talk about repackaging the run-time.
Seems like containers and kubernetes is the newer method rather than stateful and mutable cfm controlled boxes. Love Nix though in comparison to either approach. Nothing quite as amazing as your entire box effectively coded via nix to be setup a particular way. Makes me wish it were even more popular than it's already becoming.
Right, but that would be a firing; you even said so. Google wants to have it both ways, to be rid of her and pretend that she quit.
