> Part of that is making sure the compensation is among the highest for the position

I had the opposite experience back in 2015. We tried to find (locally) a C programmer with good understanding of Linux and network protocols, and offered approximately what we thought to be a fair market salary. The initial attempt has attracted various people like fresh graduates, and also (strangely) a disproportionate amount of bank employees - not sure why, our application has nothing to do with finances. We could not find a candidate that was good enough, but there were several who "almost" did it.

So the financial director approved republishing the vacancy with slightly modified requirements and 2x the salary. Result: all we got was some former developers, now managers. And the flow of talented students has completely stopped. We were able to fill that vacancy by re-offering it to a person who clearly had the relevant skills but applied to a different position. When asked why he didn't apply as a C programmer, high salary and consequently an expectation of very high demands were explicitly named as a demotivating factor.
Thanks for mentioning PeerTube — I've been keeping an eye on it for a while now. It has some of the features I noted, including one I didn't but should have; it's open source.

I think PeerTube or systems like it have a lot promise — particularly if more estblished channels on YouTube, and other media producers, were to start to promote them as alternative methods for accessing their output.
So well said.
FHE is pretty well established at this point. It can guarantee that someone observing the computation has no ability to tell what data they are acting on or what result they are outputting.

But, this is notably assuming that the program is not itself outputting leaky information. For example, if I use FHE to encrypt a program that takes my name and date of birth as input and then output "Taek is over the age of 21", the program itself has revealed data about me.

You can't reverse engineer the FHE itself. But if the encrypted program is outputting information that could be used in reverse engineering, FHE is not going to protect you. Similar to how Tor isn't going to protect you if you go and log into Facebook using your real account information.

Or where the stakes are so high, resulting in this level of terror and paralysis in such a high percentage of candidates. I get the goal and why it is appealing, but in the end these tactics are not useful and are inhumane.
> There's recurring meetings but no actionable items emerge from these meetings.

I'm curious what items are actionable that also don't run afoul of equal protection (i.e. don't discriminate based on a protected class).

My general observation of D&I in the years since it has become a corporate department at many companies is that the D&I department never sets specific and measurable target goals. They say they want to increase representation, but that's where things generally stop. Sub-metrics and sub-goals that would move the needle are conspicuously absent.

If you don't have specific and measurable goals, how do you know when you've solved the problem for which the D&I department was originally formed to address?
As redler noted, you don't want "instead of," but depending on circumstance you might want "in addition to" -- although I think you're stacking the deck a little with your choice. :)

Also, you can invert that -- the story that seems to be about something relatively inconsequential can be a lens on more complex issues. Emily VanDerWerff at Vox is (at least to me) excellent at talking about society, culture and politics by talking about film and television.

To be clear, I don't want everything to sound like new journalism feature pieces, either, and I'm aware we're veering afield from the linked article's complaints. (I don't think I'm fully on board with that article's kvetching, but Ben Smith is definitely no Gay Talese.)
If it (K9) does, I certainly did not find a way to do it. Yet, it does not mean just straight TLS connection at the start of the session. Rather, it means that when the client (FairEmail, in this case) performs the handshake, it also sends its own certificate that the server can verify prior to finishing the handshake, therefore adding an extra layer of security.

Just to emphasise, this is probably not something that most people would ever need, but is certainly an important feature to me and something that FairEmail supports and apart from a rare few, nobody else does.
That has more to do with the lack of marketing of the job opening than a lack of qualified talent out there
Because we take on stuff we don't know enough about.

That doesn't mean it's new or hard, it's often just stuff we didn't do before.

Or we didn't document what we did and months later start from zero.

I don't know if MIPS is the same, but I worked on an other architecture where NOP is 0x0, and it had an interesting effect. If you called an uninitialized function pointer, and it happened to point into zero:ed out memory, the CPU would execute NOPs for a good while until it hit something else. If that something else was code, it would start executing some function from the start, but with garbage arguments. It would often get quite far in and several functions calls down before something crashed. Made for fun stack traces and interesting debugging :-)
I wish people would differentiate between Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies: Yeah, Bitcoin is crappy and way inefficient in different aspects. Anyone who knows a bit about Cryptocurrencies knows about it.

At this stage, it is like in the late 90s when people said that "The internet was very unsafe" because Internet Explorer 4/5 were crappy insecure. Yeah, everybody with the least amount of computer knowledge knew how crappy Explorer was.
> A reasonable model for the “blowup factor” (actual time divided by estimated time) would be something like a log-normal distribution.

Interestingly, we did extensive time tracking on a multi-year in-house software project and collected data comparing the estimated completion time of tickets with their actual time.

The software department was under a lot of pressure to improve their forecasting, and were somewhat despairing that their estimates were off by a factor of about 1.6 on average, and sometimes a factor of 10 or more. This persisted in the face of all attempts to improve calibration. Managers were worrying that developers had no idea how long a task would take and estimation was futile.

When we plotted the data, in all cases, the actual time was very accurately fit by a lognormal whose scale parameter was precisely the predicted completion time. That is, whether the tickets were predicted to take 1 hour, 3 hours, 13 hours, or whatever, the histogram of their actual completion times followed the exact same shape but with a corresponding scale change on the x axis.

This told me that the developers actually have a really good understanding of the class of problem they're dealing with when they start a task. But sometimes tasks have multiplicative factors that make them take longer than you expect. Sometimes the bug turns out to be two bugs, and so on. Based on this analysis, I urged them not to consider it a prediction failure when a ticket takes 10 times longer than expected; that's just a property of the lognormal distribution, and that estimate likely did a good job of reflecting all available information at the time they made it.

Instead of changing the estimates, I suggested that we pick a safety factor for external facing commitments that reflects this distribution. Padding the estimate by 1.6 factor gives the mean, but if you want to make a commitment you can take to a customer, you can just extend the lognormal up to 95% confidence or 99% confidence or however trustworthy your promised commitment needs to be. Of course, a 99% confidence interval on a lognormal is a pretty big factor. But if that's better than running late, it is what it is.

Another interesting thing is that you'd expect, by the central limit theorem, that sufficiently large tasks would eventually become normally distributed rather than lognormal, because they're composed of a large number of subtasks. But it turns out that lognormals are a pretty pathological case; sums of n lognormals can continue to look nearly lognormal until n becomes really, really large.

My grandmother[1] was a political prisoner and her favourite pastime while in prison was poetry. Since the inmates weren't allowed to have any possessions, not even a strip of paper, she composed poems in her head. She later published them in a poetry collection and I know people who memorized the entire collection. She herself had a phenomenal memory for poetry. Her friends would often call and ask for her to tell them the lyrics of old songs and poems, and even in her late 70s she never failed to answer their request without consulting her library. My mum once challenged her and asked her to recite the 50 minute-long Máj[2]. If she weren't interrupted after 10 minutes, she probably would have recited the entire thing. She was able to memorize a poem after hearing it just once and it seemed that she retained poems indefinitely. I don't know whether this talent was the result of 6 years in an environment where memory is the only means to persist information, but it seems likely that it played a role.

Another less impressive anecdatum is my own experience of about a year with a phone that couldn't remember phone numbers. In the beginning I memorized numbers out of necessity. By the end of the year I had a mental address book of about 30 numbers and new numbers could be added effortlessly. The bewildered looks of people giving me their number without me pulling out a phone to write it down were priceless.

> They had Native American speakers, food, performances and music. It felt so condescending.

How does that even work? Even if we restrict "Native American" to groups that were native to what later became the United States, that's still a whole lot of different cultures across a vast range of ecosystems.

They had different foods and different kinds of music. How could IBM pick which Native American culture's food and music to have? Wouldn't any such choice be essentially foreign food and music to people from other Native American cultures?

In my experience, flying over oceans or less populated areas on the US reduce the speeds to a crawl, if you get any connection at all.

It's different for every airline, but I believe the system for Southwest just uses signals from cell towers, which is spotty at best.
TFA says 100MW, not MWh. So it's not clear if this is the maximum discharge rate or the actual storage capacity.

It serves the token holder if said party just declares the ticket or other item a forgery or otherwise invalid, and doesn't let you in the venue or locks your account. It also serves the holder if they want a safe secondary market to resell or trade tokens.

So basically, decentralisation doesn't serve the vendor, only the consumer.
It seems to be that the primary driver is an aversion to social interactions but a desire to have the food. I wonder if vending machines could make a come back, hah.

In all seriousness - are there vending machines that serve warm food in the USA? I know these exist in Japan, but have never seen one in SF, NYC, Boston or Chicago (not that I checked every inch in those places).

An interesting idea would be to use statistics to find out what categories of food are popular at specific complexes (apartment or housing) at specific times. Then restaurants could bid to get space to put prepared food in the "mystical vending machines" at the predicted quantity with the predicted types of foods that would sit well.

Then you don't even need your food to be delivered. Just go to the thing and get it. Done.
I really like that approach. The tradeoff is that you're asking someone to spend a non-trivial amount of personal time prepping and it opens the door a bit more to BS'ing and just memorizing Stackoverflow or whatever. But presumably your interviewers are skilled enough to sniff that out. I personally feel that would be a better way to showcase my abilities.

Well, the linked article points out that Excel's engineers came up with a new, better, and much faster way of doing recalculation than Visicalc and 1-2-3 had at that point -- and it was arguably the first spreadsheet program built for the GUI era. Both of those things were new features, and they really mattered. Excel didn't win just based on marketing alone.

The "willing to learn" case was construed as sexist since she was a diversity hire who did not undergo the same hiring process as her colleagues. While the double standard may have given her an advantage in being hired, it was a disadvantage with respect to her future prospects. The company did not know how to utilize her strengths nor what weaknesses had to be addressed. In effect, they abdicated responsibility for her success within the company prior to even interviewing her. This was not the case for non-diversity hires. Her interpretation is legitimate.
You're right. I was incorrect to state that Brexit hasn't affected the electricity market. Obviously there are different trading procedures in place now.

But there's no evidence that energy volumes moving between the EU and UK have declined since Brexit. In fact, trade volumes have increased on last year, due to the new France-Angleterre 2 (IFA2) interconnector coming online in January.

Additionally, there are multiple further new interconnectors under construction or being planned for the 2020s. Despite changes to the details of how the market operates, the UK will be increasingly closely tied to EU energy markets by virtue of being more physically connected to them.

I see nothing wrong with inviting study groups, research groups, or even small groups of 2-3 students over for dinner, on outings, etc. In fact, I think it's perfectly appropriate, and a great idea.

The issue in my mind comes when you are having INDIVIDUAL meetings in social contexts, with either employees or students. The first question to ask yourself is, "could this be construed as a date". The second question is, "if I wouldn't have this meeting with someone in my romantic attraction group, because it wouldn't be appropriate, then am I unfairly disadvantaging my students who are in that group"

this sounds like a good approach. right now every citation is an endoresement, and the choice is to support a publication or to ignore it. there should be a way to make a negative citation, that allows you to declare that the referenced publication is contradicting. as a result there would be two citation counts for each publication. like upvotes and downvotes. i believe contradicting citations do happen now, but the fact that they are contradicting can't be seen from the citation count.

Steps have been taken toward making this the norm in Chrome but it’s not clear yet to what degree it will be enforced. Already user can chose on install or at a later time to limit the domains an extension is active on (no matter what permissions it requests) and the ‘declarative’ model for interactions (wake on invocation by user or declare rules/lists to be applied on your behalf by the browser itself) is heavily promoted.

Yep, every public cloud provider has their own implementation of serverless workflows.

I did not researched the PS5 collection so maybe that is worth it.
