Almost all the academics I know already share the desire for more diversity, are aware of pitfalls like unconscious bias, and are completely ready to hire people from more diverse background... only to find that the overwhelming majority of the applicants are run-of-the-mill (say, "white male") candidates. :(

One could force up those candidates that would add to a department's diversity, even if there is no indication of prior adverse circumstances. This is however considered undesirable - it might not be fair and also be bad for the candidate's reputation in the long run.

Academic hiring can be great fun but in the end it is already a completely ill-defined optimization problem. I do not see how a CDO could be a valuable addition to the process.
The AirPods are notorious for being absolutely shitty to recycle though. They're tiny, held on with glue and have batteries inside that you have to get out in order to recycle the rest of them.
Briefly: a share which has been sold short can be sold short again by the person who buys it from the borrower/short seller. In practice, this often occurs due to regular market mechanics when a particular company is a hot short target. All that's required is a widespread consensus that the company's financials suck (in not so few words).
Maybe the establishment is still using them in this case.
Got my headphones from my dad in the late 90s, h probably bought them in the 80s. Recently stopped using them, not because they didn't work but because I wanted a wireless pair.

> I believe true webdesigners are in decline. You have lots of people who do this as a side gig after reading a few tutorials.

In decline from when? Picking it up after reading a few tutorials has always been a common way to get into web work, and if anything I feel like it's been getting more professionalized over the last twenty years.
wonder if the other companies are next?
I'm discovering that a portion of HN is salty about what is "slave labor". You were paid a pittance, it's not slave labor. Were you chained to a pole and couldn't leave? No? Well clearly not slave labor. Oh, they left you a hacksaw, so you could have left if you wanted. Not slavery. Soon, "slave wages" will not be a thing because clearly slaves are never paid. Figurative language is not a thing, apparently.
Agreed. I was in ROTC at a very left-leaning campus during the "Bush=Hitler" fad. It wasn't a pleasant experience.
(in fact, resource usage efficiency for each code area could be a helpful metric too; CPU, memory, network, etc)

IRIS.TV | Data/Systems Engineers | Global, LA-time | REMOTE | http://shorturl.at/vPZ38

Would you like to join a small team who are passionate, fun, and talented?
We at IRIS.TV are thrilled to share that we're now looking to expand our team with data/systems engineers!
We're looking for candidates with some significant Clojure experience, who are self-directed and creative problem-solvers.
We're hoping to find people who want to work with us long-term, on a contract basis.
We can work with contractors internationally; details depend on where you are, but we're already a globally distributed team. We cannot sponsor visas at this time.
You would need to operate with some overlap with Los Angeles time, particularly our daily meeting at 18:00 UTC (10 AM Pacific).
We have "big" data today, and much bigger to come... we are doing this with Clojure (and Kafka Streams, Spark, Cassandra, K8s).
Our current tech team is 5 engineers, 2 Ops/SREs, and 1 data scientist. We're processing billions of video views per day across hundreds of publishers.
If you are excited about this, reach out to me by email and please put "DATA ENGINEER" in the subject. blake@iris.tv

I don't think this is unreasonable. (I lack the domain knowledge to call it reasonable or not. Though there are few vaccines that are safe for adults and unsafe for children.)

But it's a stretch to brand that as "the science we have so far."

How does GoboLinux distinguish between packages of the same version compiled under different environments, or compilers, flags etc.? In Nix such changes cause the resulting build to be prefixed in /nix/store with a different hash.
Exactly my thinking. Buying inflated shares is an extremely efficient protest of the lack of regulation.

This time last year I was sleeping on floors, trudging through the snow to knock on doors in New Hampshire in hopes of producing thoughtful political dialogue. Unfortunately I don't think that had nearly as much impact as a few hundred bucks of meme stonks.
The problem is all these review sites are pseudo experts writing copy of how it fits into a hipster/techster/trending life with just substance to pass off as an educated conclusion.

Stuff like that usually causes to walk away immediately from things. Still the overlap of methods is interesting.
There is a high degree of overlap between people who care a lot about "diversity" and people who think bureaucracy gets things done and titles matter.
From what I've seen on Reddit and TikTok, many involved are young and holding to make a point, regardless of the pump. A portion of these are also hoping to make it rich, and get rich quick schemes rarely pan out.
Ok let's address the problems of which you assert 99% can be fixed via xwayland.

First problem identified

> Wayland breaks screen recording applications

Can xwayland fix it? Nope.

> Wayland breaks screen sharing applications

Can xwayland fix it? Nope.

There is very little Linux desktop malware in the wild.

What there is would seem to be minimally effected by wayland example

https://animajav.us/linux-systems-hiddenwasp-malware-trojan/

Instead of worrying about trying to get the keyboard as a non root user logically one might attack the filesystem or just work on getting root.

Linux desktop security vs threats actually already running on the system appear to be more an asperational goal than a reality.

At least there are documented cases of meteorites injuring people I can't find Linux malware available in the wild that would be mitigated by wayland.
Grados seem to suffer around their strain relief in multiple places - not just the plug, but also the earpiece. I have a set of 325s where, after the cable has failed yet again, I am wondering if it is actually worth it to repair them or just bin them - and that is after binning SR80s and SR60s over the years. Sunk cost only goes so far.
CDO's are democrat party political officers who are charged with keeping corporations under the control of the leftist democrat party. That doesn't necessarily mean they will meet minority quotas for executives because racial diversity is not the true goal. Party control is the true goal, and that is why CDO exists and has power to veto new hires who might be a threat.

> Gamestop is nowhere near bankrupt

> On their current trajectory they will go bankrupt

...what?

this whole thing started because some high-profile redditors were bullish on GME, and then it turned into an anti-1% movement once the short positions were discovered.

so, there are two activities: speculation and investing. the whole problem here is that unwitting retailers were tricked, thinking they were investing when really they were "speculating" (more accurately called a pump and dump scheme). now its morphing into this "jail the oligarchs" nonsense because the people that lost money think they were wronged, when really it was their own damn fault the whole time.
shalom from another Yoav. This is such a creative idea! I hate it how much analytics and “secondary” code hurts performance, even when loaded async. Not to mention the potential for added privacy which appeals to me personally. What’s high traffic enough to get onboarded? I’d be really curious to try this out.

Edit: we’re in the 2M visits range, although $950/mo sounds a bit steep... if it gets us to load as near instant as your homepage though, maybe it’s worth it? :)
The AOT stuff is cool, but honestly if we had compelling needs for that we'd just use another language. The scripting engine is incredible, though, and I think a real differentiator for the JVM.
For me, regarding the ones who don't actively code, it's something along the lines of "everything compiles on a whiteboard."
1. why not? it's not like you're getting external libraries either way.
2. if you want complex libraries, you can use external functions (aws lambdas, etc) in Snowflake.
It happens! Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear, etc. :) Thanks for the kind reply!
What I always found charming and cheeky is Islam's solution to this problem (if what my devout Muslim friend told me back in high school is true): something along the lines of all religious figures and movements are essentially failed/corrupted/lost/etc prophets and attempts at starting the true religion, until Mohamed came around and got it right with Islam. They also say everyone is born Muslim but is lost if they are not brought up in a Muslim family. An opt-out religion, essentially. Very neat and tidy ways to wave away things like Zoroastrianism that otherwise suggest these particular religions are just, as you said, mythology.

Ask HN: Non-US Fired after bipolar depression shared with HR. Can they fire me?
Dear hackers. I am a non-us citizen and was working remotely to a US company for 3 years. While I am a contractor my contract doesn't says contract, it says "Employee" everywhere.

Yesterday after a week of severe depression episode where I ended up in the hospital they fired me. I suspected they were going to fire me (scheduled 1am call with HR) and I've decided to share with them 3 days ago my Bipolar Diagnosis. Although I wished not, I shared this this because I've read that in the US ADA would protect me and they would have to accommodate me before firing me. My performance never dropped, only my communication. I never stopped coding.

This was pure discrimination, and they got away with this because I am not us-citizen. The real relationship with them was employee and my salary was in the six figures.

Is there anything I can do? May ADA or similar act legally cover me? They are a well respected and known company. Although I may want to seek some monetary compensation for discrimination, I also am upset they did not care about my condition.

If you know a lawyer that can help me, hope this is a precedent and doesn't happen to anybody else. Mental health is health.

Wish you a healthy day.
It's so "sad" that our auditory pathway is constantly trying to modulate the input from the cortex (especially with information from the cortex). I wonder why those audiophiles are able to distinguish two headphones with an order of magnitude difference in price after 5 minutes of continuous listening... they must have some special wiring, I guess.

I’m much happier that it isn’t a “proper” community with avatars & such, fwiw. Much like I’m not fond of small talk, I’m also not fond of the obligations that come with social media.
Thanks for your feedback, much appreciated.

The current model is that every record (i.e. that entire block) can have multiple entries that are added up regardless of order. So the resulting total is the just the sum of the individual time values. (Here: `8h30m + (-45m) = 7h45m`)

Regarding whitespace: are you referring to some whitespace specifically (like the indentation) or to whitespace in general? Do you have a concrete idea in mind how you would change the syntax? Curious on your thoughts!

I think most legacy users from WSB know very well what they are doing.

I've been on this sub for 5 years and it has always been so that everytime the wsb hivemind finds a good deal it gets media attention and the number of clueless users/investors skyrockets. But people who stick around outside of these short periods under the spotlights know very well what they are doing despite the memes.

I don't believe in the theory that there are few people manipulating the entire sub for a pump and dump, rather the entire sub (the few tens of thousands regular active users) knew it was a pump and dump. That this story attracted the attention and money of thousands of clueless newbies is to be blamed on people that reported on it carelessly (medias, celebritites, etc.), not on the people who were doing their things on an internet forum expecting nothing out of it.
Or possibly you're extremely in the right but they have an ego the size of the moon and they will punish you if you bruise it.

Either way you lose.
Can you think of more concrete language that applies equally to all organizations? If so please do share.

Sure, there are the Dilbert PHB-esque abuses of trendy lingo through mindless cargo culting. But the bigger and broader your goals, the more abstractly you have to describe them lest you end up writing a full-on textbook.

Having said that, I have to disagree that your examples are buzzwords. Buzzwords are usually contextless, like saying "synergistic impact" without any hint of what that means.

As just one example, "Probe assumptions" is not a buzzword. It has a clear meaning within the context of software engineering. For example it is often assumed by new grads starting a company that a startup just has to use Kubernetes and microservices. But that is an assumption that is worth probing. Horizontal scaling only becomes a bottleneck long after the millions of users point. Microservices are meant to help giant engineering teams isolate the things different teams work on, but in a startup with only one team you don't have that bureaucratic overhead in your org, so you probably don't need it in your code.
Yep. Problem is I cant remember the headline, and the main points wont appear in the search since it only shows headlines and comments
In today's QE-Infinity Climate - it's not unreasonable to see Chewy's executive management turning GME into a successful e-commerce and brick and mortar play.

The e-commerce business is valued at 10x in QE-infinity terms, on adjusted EBITDA, which means it's not far fetched for the story to become $888/share right now.

The only thing missing is a constant parade of upgrades from the analysts.
> Society is basically brainwashed into believing everyone has free will. The result is that people with the most capital prosper and I assume the foregoing wouldn't be the case if everyone was a determinist.

Why do you assume this? If everyone believed in determinism rather than free will, couldn't those with the most capital (deterministically) say "Well, that's just the way it should be. They can't choose to be different."

I'm not inclined to think that will is all that free, but I can't seem to see the connection between that and capitalism.
I've done something similar without first learning about Markov Chains. One of my more interesting experiments was creating messed-up laws. I fed it the constitution and alice in wonderland, and it made the most surreal laws. The great thing about them is they don't need to know about language. You could make one to create images, another to create names for cities. I made one to create 'pronounceable passwords'. It took the top 1000 words of a dictionary, and then it would spit out things which could potentially be words, of any length. Of course, the pronounceability of a word like Shestatond is debatable.
Is that really an issue? Javascript is basically universally supported on the web.

Users with NoScript will just have to live without some functionality. I'm sure they are used to that already, since a large fraction of websites use JS for styling. (I use NoScript)
They also have a voracious appetite for Georgia Pine which happens to be the material my inlaws summer home is made from. Not to be outdone, woodpeckers also enjoy eating a carpenter bee and their babies, so we end up with holes from the carpenter bees along with a string of holes made by woodpeckers in search of said bees.

Im not really too worried about being stung by them, and I agree they generally dont want to mess with you unless you are actively messing with their burrow. I have taken to putting out sacrificial 2x4s each season that I pre-drill(3/4" holes seem to do the trick) to attract the bees to easier pickings. This helps quite a bit, but I still have to end up spraying a few holes in our siding and deck each year as it will soon be swiss cheese if I do not...
Bad Bunny is barely famous, not remotely approaching the status of mega star. If you don't believe me, check out Google Trends and compare to other, actual stars.

JLo is one of the only mainstream Latina stars and therefore gets the shoe-in invite to thinks like 'inauguration performances' because who else can they chose? Bruno Mars? Who else?

Even Hispaic/Latino winners at the Oscars are almost all from Mexico or Spain, with almost zero actual American representation.

There are 'massive global stars' from the Latin of course world but they generally originate from South America.

Latino/Hispanic USA has about the representation of Asian America in mainstream culture.

There are quite large sections of culture dedicated specifically to that group - news, entertainment, music etc. but it exists within it's own bubble.

>> Nothing obliges the GNOME team to accede to the wishes of people who contribute nothing to the project.

I said nothing of the sort. They have an obligation to the project and its value as a piece of infrastructure used by many (including noncontributors).

I've had to replace the ear pads, which fall apart after 8 years or so, but other than that no problems, they sound fantastic.

(I noticed their pro "cousin" headphones on the heads of many recording engineers so perhaps one of the reasons they sound great is the mix might have been made on them..).
I was not contesting that, I was contesting the claim that you have to be a large organization and/or have a lot of money to be able to run Synapse. This is untrue. Stop moving the goalposts.
This [1] is specific to the U.S. but you should get advise from a lawyer and not good intention folks here on HN. Sorry I don't know a labor law attorney. You could probably call the department of labor for the state your company's headquarters resides in. They could tell you if you have a case so you don't spend money on a lawyer unless it makes sense to do so. They would also know if that company has a history of complaints.
