I've read lots of workplace complaints and talked with lots of different people about their workspace experiences and this persons description rings hollow in many places. You are crazy if you think a publicly traded company the size of Apple would tolerate religious discrimination or anything like what is described in this post.

Double so for Apple who has gone woke. I'd expect a white Christian to get hazed LONG before anyone would even THINK of harassing a Muslim at Apple.

Kids lie to avoid eating vegetables... because humans are evolutionary adapted to really like sugar, and they know that higher sugar foods exist.

Sugar = good is no longer an appropriate heuristic given the change in nutritional availability - in fact it is now harmful - so we force kids to behave differently.

It's not clear that school is similar. Is it not the case that people learn better when they are adequately stimulated and engaged? Even if not, how far should we go in making kids miserable to force them to learn more? Do we need to make them miserable or is there an alternative? This is what I mean by asking why, and it's not clear to me what all the answers are (it's a very complex question).

This is an excellent review of various drugs that are either discovered in animal fluids (saliva, venom, urine,..) or still cultured in their bodies [3]

The Indian left wing's fascination with Cow Urine far outdoes any religious Hindu's veneration for it. Both Hindu and Buddhist scriptures venerate the 5 parts of a cow for religious purposes. That aside traditional cultures the world over - China, Indian, Africa (Nigeria) use the urine (and feces) of various animals as primordial pharmaceutical factories since they lacked the machinery of modern chemistry and drug synthesis. Materia Medica, catalog of plants and animal matter, of ancient medical systems like Ayurveda and TCM contained detailed qualities of the therapeutic properties of the urine of various animals.

Even modern medicine has derived drugs like Urokinase from human urine (disgusting) and Premarin from pregnant mare's urine. Urokinase is now made from renal cells cultured in bioreactors but Premarin is still made from mare's urine. Peta is not a fan [2]. Other Animal fluids, horseshoe crab blood famously comes to mind for manufacture of vaccines, are used throughout pharma. See [3] below. Female fertility drugs were first synthesized from the Urine of menopausal nuns [1]. Today the hormone is synthesized in the lab.

Generally speaking, it would be bizarre to dismiss the animal (or human) body as a source of pharmaceutical compounds because you don't agree with a sect or religion that worships that animal.

Congrats on the lifting wins, I could never put up much but the respect the self-discipline and routine required to make gains. If it's about a PR goal, consider how ridiculously arbitrary it is to set an attachment to being able to pick up and subsequently put down a heavy object. Progress never perfection, or something like that :)

Agreed on the time management techniques, they all feel to me like programs developed by highly organized people who were going to be organized and on top of their schedule regardless..
I read the Great Gatsby in high school, not too too long ago, and it instantly became my favorite book. I would guess that English teachers pick it because it’s a short, fun read with lots of issues to discuss and lots of literary merit. I’m glad to see it’s finally in the public domain.
You can get the walkability side in any of northeastern cities such as NYC, Boston, and to a lesser extent D.C. Pay is comparable to the Bay given the cost of living difference.
Thanks for the thoughtful response!

I don't have any doubt that people much smarter than I am have discussed this and thought about it at great length.

I would argue that if there wasn't interest in the discussion from the community, it wouldn't have gained so many points so quickly. Flagging was used to bury it as it was climbing up the front page.

This seems like an abuse of the flagging system to me. Apparently dang agreed, because the flag was removed, but the damage was done - it's aged out now.

I do think there has been a recent change that makes the topic relevant and worth discussing.

I've noticed a disturbing trend over the past 5-10 years of many folks wholly embracing the concept of limiting speech to only those things that they agree with.

It appears to me that this is an increasing trend, and I think our discussion tools need to adapt to meet the new challenge. That's the primary reason why I asked the question.
the SDK will always be free, but that's not the business model. the business model is get more people to buy Windows licenses. to that end, they give you a second-class experience on non-Windows (both for development and end-users). eventually you cave and just use Windows and Visual Studio, and rationally so, because you would be at a competitive disadvantage if you did not.

Not too horrifying: when I open the Breakout PDF in Preview, it just displays a white page.

PDFs are a great format if you just ignore the dumb parts. :)
I was told once by someone in infosec that the PDF spec included a dos emulator for some abstract thing.

That doesn’t appear to be true exactly but isn’t anywhere in the realm of impossible which is a serious issue for PDF.

I was hoping FoxIt dropped a lot of the BS spec parts, but it seems they don’t want to “lose out” to Acrobat in the features checklist. At least I know it’s easy to turn JS off by GPO with FoxIt, Acrobat I assume too?
It works because of the booming stock.

7zip is an amazing decompression tool that can handle many formats. You can even use it to extract installer exe files for otherwise difficult situations (like where a firmware blob is only available in a Windows exe download). It’s also free and hassle free. When sending to other people though, it can create zip format.
I feel the opposite way about the eye. The data hosted by the eye isn’t theirs to give away. Their approach feels disingenuous.
The polling I'm familiar with (e.g. https://news.gallup.com/poll/1603/crime.aspx) indicates that there's been a significant shift. In particular I'd point at the "too tough, not tough enough or about right" question; in 1992, the idea that we shouldn't be tougher on crime was quite radical and the idea that we're too tough on crime was practically nonexistent.

As the rare food service worker on HN, I can confirm this is exactly the case. Yesterday I watched an order from a partnered delivery service take just over an hour from the ticket printing to the driver showing up.
Exactly!

So if YECs don't make a good argument, they shouldn't be accepted for publication in a scientific journal, and therefore it's not censorship, right?

Wikipedia[1] lays out a list of common justifications for imprisonment that feels accurate: rehabilitation, deterrence, incapacitation, and retribution. Different societies may prioritize each of those differently.

I don't think it's a stretch to suggest the US has gone long on the "retribution" angle in their approach to criminal justice.

I don't know if it's the cause, but the "polish" requirement is horrendous.

When I left academia one of my most significant thoughts was, "at least I won't have to argue over the 21st draft of a 3 page paper ever again".
On the great hierarchy of potential conflicts that can be caused by taking your vacation on day X instead of Y, missing a new direct report's start date by a couple days is a very minor concern. Particularly at a larger company where a new hire will have to go through a bunch of onboarding busywork and has a buddy.

I can understand why this would be bad optics to someone who's insecure and junior, but it really shouldn't be a big deal.

Mathilda 3 is 'MT03'.
I'm not sure that's actually something we want within the institution. IMO the most important thing is improving the overall _reliability_ of research.

On this note, and admittedly a bit of a (relevant) plug: I work at a startup called scite that's trying to improve this -- https://scite.ai

Citations are the primary mechanism by which scientific papers "talk" to one another, and one of the systemic issues we see in the status quo is a sort of numerical reductionism where a lot of emphasis is placed on "how many times someone is cited" without any indication of whether those citation counts are from papers that support or dispute someone's findings.

One of the things we do at scite is let you see, for a paper, how it has been cited (i.e. not just a count, but the surrounding textual context around the citation, and a classification from our model as to whether the citing work provides supporting or disputing evidence for the cited paper, or just mentions it).

That information is also aggregated to the author level, or journal, and so on.

The hope is that by providing (and improving) this service so that researchers can see how papers are cited, we're able to promote more reliable science (in addition to letting someone explore new subject areas / doing lit reviews much faster, and other things).

I just wanted to share that because a lot of the other comments were more abstract and it might help to include something more tangible that's being actively worked on now. There's a lot of interesting work in general in this space.

If you have any thoughts / feedback / questions, feel free to reply here (I check occassionally) or write to me at the email in my profile.

If DoorDash can’t be arsed to ask for permission from whoever to deliver, then maybe it’s for the better that they don’t deliver that place. Sure, it costs more than just adding the place to their site, but the restaurant is having their image harmed by soggy food. If that restaurant doesn’t want to allow delivery, they should have that option.
That'd probably make the problem worse, by encouraging developers to force JavaScript to see the page.

Nevertheless, it probably can't get worse than it is now.

You'd be surprised how many times I've seen websites which have some sort of hidden-before-load-class attached to the HTML element. When you're not using JavaScript, you can remove this class and it all works fine.

Same thing for loading spinners. If your loading time warrants a loading spinner, you're probably doing something wrong.

Why do you think the skills would change?

As someone who has done both remote and in-person management, some of the tools you use are different and you have to be conscious of different things (e.g. how much time the team has to socialize), but the skills are the same.

The most important thing is to trust your employees (no time tracking, no always-on video, etc.) and if you don't trust them, replace them.
For people who can’t understand it, think about Amazon and the various “1 star; late” “reviews”. To think that the same won’t happen with food is wishful thinking.
Have a similar situation myself.. strategy-wise a niche audience sounds more attractive than a potentially-big-but-vague market. But looking at my own setup, I'm much more attracted to working on my grand-vision low-code app builder tool that has an undefined market than I am to a niche b2c business that's actually making (minimal) profit.

Conventional wisdom in startup land is to focus on one thing, but I find myself disagreeing with that notion and kinda want it all ;)
How about, “I’ll get started on that as soon as you confirm.”
But when your parents have the expectation that you are their trained slave but meter work unfairly among siblings, you learn to resent work and leaders. Also when they criticize you for not doing it right, you just give up.

Speaking from experience and having debrainwashed myself from said mindset.
The CDC was also underfunded and the US's pandemic response budget had been slashed. The events of March are a damning indictment of letting small government do a big government's job, but not more than that.

Anyway, I'm happy to concede that the market will take about a month to figure out vaccine distribution. In fact, I said "a couple of weeks" in my original comment that said the market is "extremely slow." So I suspect we have the same actual time span in mind, it's just that you think that the description of that time is "quick" and I think it's "slow".

In particular, it sounds like you think it's quick by comparison to potential alternatives. But I'm saying it's slow by comparison to the author's argument - that additional days or weeks of delay cause serious exponential growth.

So we should at least ask what could be faster, before being satisfied with one month. I know of absolutely no way to make the market faster. I do know of ways to make the government more competent and faster, even if our current government agencies are not competent or fast.

For instance - do you think the military would take more than a month to do this?

(Also, the current government-run distribution regime is actually vaccinating healthcare workers, as we argue about this, and it's taken much less than a month from approval to getting real people vaccinated.)
I'd like to express a controversial opinion. I am totally indifferent to the suffering of violent criminals. If you have consciously used violence against innocent people - if you have broken into an occupied home, if you have accosted people with weapons, committed sexual violence, or given drugs to children - then I would not object to your summary execution.

In my eyes, the lives of people who make such choices are worth less than those of loyal pets, or innocent farm animals. It is clear that greed and longing for status fuels crime in our society. Violent criminals are not responsible providers with families who have simply fallen on hard times. They are people who make choices. And in my eyes it is these choices which dehumanize them.

To be perfectly clear, I am not talking about thieves, destroyers of property, or people who sell drugs to adults. I'm only talking about people who use violence and violate consent.

There is more than one effective method for penal administration. I think we should be taking a closer look at Japan. Its penal system is notoriously harsh, with criminals who have served time in both the US and Japan unanimously agreeing that Japanese prison is a far more terrible experience. Japan is also a remarkably peaceful society, with a remarkably low recidivism rate. The mistake that US prison administration makes is that it allows prison criminal culture to develop and prosper. In Japan no such thing is permitted. People are required to maintain strict order, and are not permitted to socialize or speak freely. Beatings and solitary confinement are routine.

Conversely, prison records are sealed, and once prisoners have served their time they are free to find work and integrate into society. There are many groups of people who deserve our limited sympathy before violent criminals.
DoorDashers have a tendency to pick up multiple orders at the same time without informing me. So I’ll order food expecting it’ll take 20 minutes, then it takes 40 because the dasher decided to take 4 orders at once. With a friend, I know they’re going there and coming right back, and if not, they generally let me know and I can reconsider.
The contact map seems to be based on area code: https://github.com/michael-danello/iMessageWrapped/blob/cef2...

Relevant XKCD entry: https://xkcd.com/1129/ In my case my area code (650) is where I went to college, and many if not most of my friends and colleagues seem to be in a similar position.
I believe all publicly funded research is open access after a year. NIH at least.
Garbage is a strong word. I think there's definitely a moderate to strong correlation between h-index and quality of researcher. The downside with the h-index is that it also measures your ability to play the 'game' (i.e network, cite your peers, etc.), but I really see no way around that. You can also argue that this is an important skill to have. If you produce the most amazing research in the world and people don't cite you, that could point toward a number of red flags (e.g you're an asshole, your work isn't clear to understand, you don't appropriately cite your peers, etc.)

Often it’s the first step to reproducibility though. Am enormous amount of scientific effort is figuring out how a researcher did something they published.

President Biden will order a national mask mandate for all 50 states, making the mandate last from January until the end of April. The mask mandate will significantly decrease the number of covid cases in the US, alongside vaccines being more widely available to Americans. Some other safety measures may be put in place as well, making the US reach herd immunity by summer 2021.

I think it's the right call.
