I've had jobs where every little thing required a bunch of back and forth. Integration, and spinning up a new product. Slack (or IRC if you aren't hooked on giant emojis) work well for this.

But for the rest of my work there are questions but you can batch them if you think ahead, and write a good email. Or, just put the questions in the ticket and use the right collaboration tool.

I find that all chat-derived information needs to be rewritten (ideally) or being cut&paste into a document because chat is either ultimately ephemeral, or lives in an entirely different system from the rest.

Back up and consider if all of the turns you made to get down this particular blind alley actually made sense. “First principles” and all that.
I...was in a car accident last Tuesday and been taking Tylenol like crazy. They refused to give me any prescriptions because I didn't have broken bones, despite the impact going 84 mph to zero in subsecond.

Thank you!

Do you know what's a good alternative to Tylenol? My chest and shoulder are hurting like hell.

Many medical professionals recommend against alternating, not because it is unsafe but because the mental overhead and differing schedules depending on dose can lead to mistakes and lead to accidental overdose if you aren’t paying attention or writing it down.

Also, make sure you are only taking one NSAID (acetylsalicylic acid/asprin, ibuprofen/Advil/Motrin, naproxen sodium/Aleve) if you are alternating painkillers - if you take excedrin/generic “migraine” formula you are already getting a dose of asprin and should not take anything else with it.

Police say civil asset forfeiture reduces crime – new study shows they’re wrong
For the front-running of orders, I don't think anything beyond regulation and rule changes could fix that. The incentives are too strong.
Modern life is not all about being part of social media. Thanks to social media younger generation now are more depressive than ever.
What I'm saying is exactly what you're describing. You have options. You have the ability to get by one way or another. I"m not saying poverty is amazing. I'm saying that even with all your negative situations that occurred, here you are talking to us over HN. You've made it another day. All because of the wealth of ways you can continually get by in the western world.

This seems like an absolutely indispensable technology for achieving reparations. Most black Americans have ancestors who (slavery) worked a lot of unpaid hours. Having clear metrics on how many slaves there were is a step towards having a well founded number for what the cost of reparations should be.

There are some places in the US which have started, but they're just kind of pulling numbers out of a hat and I don't see that being scalable. But reparations should be paid, if for nothing else, at least for the unpaid hours.

Next we need to figure out who profited the most from slaves and where that money is today.
Yet many people take paracetamol without issue - you just need to read what the max dose you can take is (2x500g tables at least 4 hours apart and no more than 4 times per day) and not for more than a few days at a time.

The bigger danger is people mixing it with other cold and flu medication that ALSO contains paracetamol.
Unfortunately, we can no longer get people to even agree on the shape of the Earth, much less anything more nuanced. Getting the public to accept what a law says is fake news would be a hopeless endeavor. Half will accept it, half will call it propaganda.

That doesn't solve the problem, which is that if the mainstream media said the world was round, showed the math and provided experimentally verifiable proof, and some random blogger said God told them it was a cube, far too many people would trust the random blogger without question. Even attempting to assert that truth exists will make some people angry.
"Does gout come and go..."

Yes it does!! I want to shout here very loudly!

(I guess we're off topic now, but please please please don't do what I did and ignore it.)

Me, age 29, I've mentioned before that I'm a lifelong medium endurance cyclist (4-8hrs, 75-120miles): started to get foot pain. Went to the doc (Stanford Hospital GP), doc says you have gout, here's the pills you will take for the rest of your life. Me: nah, I'm healthy, I'll eat better. I was already eating better. Long story short, moved to a rural area, and had probably 30 attacks over 20 years, and none of the 5 (or was it 8?) docs diagnosed it correctly, or prescribed the pills, which are allopurinol. Take the pills. As you might imagine from my preferred exercise I have a very high tolerance for pain. Or did. I am not suicidal, but there have been several two week stretches where I became quite understanding about how people could be made suicidal from chronic pain.

Gout is not necessarily a virtue test. Take the pills. And you don't want advil/tylenol, you want indomethecin for the pain. For the last 5 years I take a half dose everyday and I've not had a single disabling attack, hallelujah. My joints still hate low pressure weather systems though.
Just make sure you have food in your stomach when you take ibuprofen. I used to take 12 a day in high school to play (badly) at sports and it can do a number on your stomach lining. Iirc the mechanism that causes it to dull the pain also creates stomach acid.
We all pay for Amazon Prime, and yet Amazon is on there.

Netflix is a video streaming service which will "collect, use, track, estimate, or derive personal and demographic information". It will "determine which ads and other content are shown to consumers". It will "apply algorithms or data analytics to personal information". It will "measure, promote, and research user engagement". And "their practices affect children and teens".

Netflix is responsible for an immense amount of screentime, and its algorithms are designed to maximize that screentime to reduce subscriber churn.

Funny, the only people I hear talking about "critical race theory" are people who denigrate those who try to understand it. And with suggestions like "mandatory firing of over-represented groups," a ridiculous and awful suggestion that nobody wants and would achieve no good, I'm guess that you also wish to denigrate those who work to understand racial disparities in the US. But usually such sort of odd sarcasm isn't found on HN.
Interesting that the issue fluctuates between a) Google is incurably racist, and b) the paper said something counter to Google's business interests, depending on who is telling it/what's more expedient
I find the controls very confusing. It's hard to guess whether I'm going to make a move or reorient the cube. Usually, it makes a move when I'm trying to reorient the cube.
Yeah, it's possible that it's not economical. I think I'd do it for a $200 SF to DEN premium. I would expect the train tickets for passengers to be cheaper than the flight, though. A flight is currently $150 round trip. And I'd expect a four person room on a train to be approx $400 round trip.

Never take tylenol "like crazy", the max dose of acetominophen is 4000g per day, but better to stick to 3000 if taking for more than a few days.

In the UK you can get cocodamol (paracetamol and codeine) over the counter for lower dosages, but pretty sure that's prescription only in the US, and more likely to lead to dependence.

In all six major companies profiled by https://recruitinginnovation.com/blog/diversity-in-tech/ (Uber, Facebook, Apple, Google, Twitter, Microsoft), whites are underrepresented. So if big tech is institutionally racist, who is it racist in favor of? Should we demand from these companies a major initiative to improve the representation of whites? How come the BBC didn't see fit to mention these statistics - isn't that highly relevant to the story?

I empathize deeply with Gebru and I have no doubts that she has experienced institutional racism at Google and in tech generally. I do think that, despite me being white, however, there is a good chance that I would be fired, were I to make an ultimatum about quitting unless the company did X. Based on conversations with managers who have worked at big companies like Google (full disclosure, I work there now), it sounded like this was nearly an explicit policy HR holds at some companies — i.e. that ultimatums would never be tolerated and could result in termination.

That said, supposing such a policy were in place, given the understandable frustration she felt about the situation and given the potential institutional racism that led to the event in the first place, an exception likely should have been made. Moreover, one would hope that a company would trust an established ethicist about whether it were appropriate to issue an ultimatum and would take it very seriously if they did, opting to take time to consider it, as opposed to issuing a quick termination.
In Crossplane, we have a similar notion for your apps deployed to Kubernetes. Platform builders would define the schema definitions for their API and then they would create several `Composition` objects, each representing a different way of satisfying the same API. Then app developers include a claim YAML together with their artifact. The `Composition` to be chosen is decided via selectors or by platform builder.

This way you can include generic `AcmeMySQLInstance` (think of it as interface in Golang or protocol in other languages) and then one of the Compositions is selected to satisfy this requirement: `AWSRDSInstance`, `AzureSQLServer` or `GCPCloudInstance` or some in-house configuration. The protocol between app dev and builder is the schema and the credential object (`Secret`) that is being published.

See details in docs: https://crossplane.io/docs/v1.0/getting-started/package-infr...

Disclosure: I'm one of Crossplane maintainers.
None the less, until the pandemic hit the US in March, at least one large government agency still had silly password complexity requirements and expired passwords every 60 days. They seems to have suspended password rotation at some point since I haven't had to change my password since March, but it's not clear whether it's going to come back at some point or not.
At this point in their view, Everything is 'institutionally racist'™

Being a victim is now cool again I suppose. The new 'blames the government for everything' rhetoric is now applied to tech companies.

Indeed, but I think it's better to just not post such medical advice at all.

How does that work in practical reality so it doesn't just turn into a money making scheme with no real impact akin to Catholic indulgences?

> Also, it's a little bit rich to listen to any sort of climate talk from anyone in cold countries¹. They emit so much carbon just to be warm. Well, I don't, because I live in California.

How many emissions in the US come from the use of AC and heating due to basically zero federal building standards for energy efficiency? [0]

Afaik AC is generally considered way more inefficient, heating can be captured as a side-product from a lot of processes, cooling not so much.

A worthy cause.

Too bad they feel the need to run their own platform instead of contributing to wikidata. They're using the same software, and the data falls squarely within Wikidata's scope.

Even worse that they feel the need to stamp this with a CC license. Not only does this make it incompatible with the CC0/public domain requirement. I consider it borderline offensive to assert copyright over the basic facts of someone's life: https://enslaved.org/record/person/Q405665

This project obviously involves a lot of work. And, taken as a whole, some of that work is creative in nature. But individual records are not.

Luckily, US law does not recognise copyright for databases.

If we're talking about FAANG, I don't believe that they really care about "the process of solving the problem". If you don't come up with a close-to-optimal solution in about 5 minutes, you're in trouble - there will be competitors who are better prepared and thus can. Solving algorithmic questions is a very trainable skill, after all.
I'd advise anyone against trying that for a system not owned by them. (e.g., someone's else website)

Anarchists are part of the left. I think you're thinking of anarcho-capitalists who reject that sort of coercion.

They're against "pay or die" coercion in general, and the capitalist healthcare systems as built on that premise.

I don't think it requires any particular paranoia or self-loathing, just the day-in, day-out grind against the receiver's psyche.

We take it for granted that living with an emotionally-abusive person deeply affects someone's sense of self-perception, but for some reason when advertisers use the same sort of tactics, but at a slightly lower level spread across a greater amount of time, we're supposed to accept it as appropriate?

We all have a finite store of, let's call it "self confidence"; why should we accept as status quo that all comers have a right to drain some of it every day in order to line their own pocketbooks?
I think you mean that the analogy is hard to make in real-life where you can't control other people ;-) Which is true, but I was trying to shift the focus on the problem instead of where it happens to occur. Granted, for open-office plans it generally makes people feel like they can talk loudly because it's a space full of people and that's what you do in such spaces. But it's still the distraction (and noise), not the space itself. The ease of moving around is not available if you put walls everywhere. But that 'problem' isn't really seen as problematic, so the comparison becomes "loud office vs. quiet office" instead of "distracting but roamable office vs. silo'ed office". At that point we are of course trying to value one person's wish to roam as much as another person's wish to not be distracted.
> Interviewer: I suppose if you think that, the next obvious question is do you think Google itself is institutionally racist?

> Dr. Gebru: Yes, Google itself is institutionally racist.

> Interviewer: That's quite a thing to say - you were a Google employee until a short while ago.

> Dr. Gebru: I feel like most if not all tech companies are institutionally racist. I mean, how can I not say that they are not institutionally racist? The Congressional Black Caucus is the one who's forcing them to publish their diversity numbers. It's not by accident that black women have one of the lowest retention rates[, in the technology industry]. So for sure Google and all of the other tech companies are institutionally racist.

There's not really much to discuss or unpack here. There's no defining of 'institutionally racist' in the conversation, so it's impossible to say what standards are being using to determine if something is institutionally racist. Dr. Gebru also provides essentially no facts or evidence for her claims.

Asking if organizations are racist is a fair question, but the conversation will basically only be productive if terms are clearly defined and accusations are based on concrete evidence.

This seems like it was a very casual interview, so I'm not faulting Dr. Gebru for not providing more evidence here, just saying that this interview is not super helpful in the larger conversation around racism. Because an accusation of racism is a serious accusation to make, I wish in these situations that there was more substantiated evidence provided.
