I kinda agree as a I have posted elsewhere:

"The scariest part of all this is that people think this is a good way to filter candidates. It shows you that the company is populated by stress tolerant, herd mentality thinkers. I see them as a cross between army grunts and high school nerds. Simple fast logic, drawn to rules and systems, prone to being swayed by appeals to authority. Low sensitivity nervous systems meaning high stress tolerance and low ability to perceive, synthesise and abstract. Working with these guys is like wearing a straight jacket anyway - avoid like the plague. Unless you happen to fit that model, in which case go right ahead, you do you, but please be aware that there are other kinds of human out there who can add value outside of the cookie cutter."

But we have a problem where we are recruiting all kinds of personalities into a market and then after significant investment in education telling them that they aren't suited for the role.

Fundamentally what is going on here is a battle between different kinds of personalities and it's annoying that I'm in the minority. But there is an argument here to say that this isn't a very economically productive situation. You need all kinds of people in an organisation.

But you will find sec.gov (4th result for me), Reuters (5th), Wikipedia (6th), and even this very website (3rd) reporting about her conviction for securities fraud. Given that all those other sites are already posting about the event using her real name, I'm not sure this article would make much difference to the search results.

> Is there a utility function that correctly solves both cases?

If the problems are different a different utility function may be appropriate. (Nobody says “don’t look at the structure of the problem”.)

How so? EE works only with an infinite number of periods.

Grandparent here. Yeah I know how to program, but the point here was to make my players a simple interactive GUI that saves its data somewhere we can all access together (e.g. the cloud). Doing that in R would be well beyond my skillset, even as an R user. Doing it with a web stack would be more appropriate, but even then it would have been a lot more work and I can't think how I'd do it without spinning up a server and setting up some http endpoints.
Speaking as someone who is on an ISO committee, this topic of discussion comes up every couple years.

The bottom line is that there are and will always be costs associated with a running an organization, regardless of whether they are for or non profit. There are overhead costs associated with running a website, conferences, technical review, or collaboration tooling for example. While some revenue comes from participants and membership fees, not everything gets covered. The organization does a lot for the public good and it's unacceptable to criticize these passionate engineers that have dedicated their careers to ensuring proper standards globally.
Well, routing seems like something that needs just ship position. You can easily send that over, for example, iridium network and as long as you won't try doing that 10 times per second (because why?) if savings were actually that big, it could already be done, even many years ago
I only do pickup as it’s cheaper and more under my control - but only Jimmy John’s and Dominos do well with delivery - JJs because the sandwich is already cold, and Dominos because that’s what they specialize in.

I also prefer pickup because if I’m going to pay I’d rather it go to the restaurant as much as possible. (And an added bonus - they start to recognize you!)
Both are engineering and automation work actually, the only difference I see is the required initial capital to run an experiment in hardware vs software space and the marginal cost of distribution.

The smartest people who are stamping parts all day were the people who Ford promoted for higher positions to make the work more efficient. He wrote that most people were happy with the repeated work, but there were a few who were better as leaders or engineers.

Tesla’s growth curve is actually very similar to what Ford’s was at the start.
> This looks like a private industry group set up to proactively influence adopted standards (ie: a lobby) and does so internationally.

Who are you saying is lobbying who here? Are you saying AIBS is lobbying the ICC? Or that the ICC is lobbying the AIBS?

I don't see why the AIBS would engage in lobbying about the contents of US building codes. What difference does it make to building surveyors in Australia what building codes in the US say?
That's some fucking racism right there pal. Hacker news is triggering too, implying a male of russian or Chinese descent. When will you learn?
When something becomes widely known as a proxy to measure an effect, it ceases to be a useful measure, because people begin to consciously influence it. It's a well-known thing.

When scientific results become a proxy to the correctness of a political agenda (which is often a business interest in disguise), they become less and less scientific.

It's a perfect catch-22.

Same sadly applies to the internal tools of science: impact index, citation index, discovery of a novel effect, etc. There is a lot of incentives to game these metrics, and gaming them is, well, not unheard of.

In applied research there is more of a reality check: if the device based on your research obviously does not work, it cannot be produced and sold, so you want your research to reflect reality as best you can. But more subtle things, like public policy, lack this immediate feedback loop. So there is a large hazard for a researcher, when asked: "what is the value of 2 × 2 ?" to ask back: "are we selling or buying?" and find a plausible "right" answer that supports a desired case.

But, unlike in elementary arithmetics, nobody knows a certain right answer in many areas of natural science, so an honest mistake is hard to tell from a... less honest one. There must be a colossal pressure to exploit this in a situation of a high-stakes political choice.

I have no idea how to solve these problems. But at least the public should be aware that these problems exist.

> vaccines being promised "soon" with "soon" slowly moving further and further away.

In March 2020, the US government said it would take 12–18 months to get a vaccine approved, and many people even doubted that was possible[0]. Instead, it happened just 9 months later[1].

In the United States, the current president first said it was unlikely everyone would be vaccinated before the end of summer[2], then they shifted to having enough vaccine for 300 million people by the end of July[3], and most recently an announcement that there will be supply for the entire population at the end of May[4].

I don’t know where you live, but at least in the U.S., things have been the opposite of “‘soon’ slowly moving further and further away”.

I find this interesting. I've been told that law schools teach that when estimating how long something will take (not how many hours of effort, but calendar time) they say to double your estimate, then increase the units by one. So what you think is a 2 hour task will actually take 4 days to complete. 4 weeks will take 8 months.

I wonder how much of that is professional wisdom that embodies this lognormal distribution. Law isn't quite the same as dev, since there can be a lot of lost calendar time just due to certified mail, or court dates, or whatever. But I've found that when I apply this formula to my estimates, I'm a lot less anxious when I start to bang my head against unforeseen setbacks.

Of course, knowing which value to emphasize to a manager depends on why they want the estimate. Sometimes they really want the effort estimate, and sometimes they want the calendar estimate, and I'll sometimes give both if the context warrants it.
I suspect it has more to do with trying to serve “all hours” without the associated staffing costs - an American example used to be rest stops before everything went 24hr. They used to have soup dispensing machines and more.

Updating a cell in Excel is a CPU round trip, whereas updating a cell in Sheets is a network round trip. An operation that touches as few as 1000 lines (e.g. autofill a large range, change a value that feeds into many cells) incurs many seconds of latency as it's fed through the cloud and the new cell data is refreshed. The more rows you have, the slower the response time.
Just get rid of the SEC. Its an unnecessary institution.
I know, I'm supposed to be modest but it is the truth. And I did not mean just me personally. Some things I did on my own and for some I had to involve team.

I think one of the reasons is that while I am reasonably good at architecture and programming in general I do not really get hung up on processes / languages / tools / technologies etc. What makes me tick is when I see the product working and serving people. That's the only thing I really interested in.

I like your point about proper scientific units for headlines, and disagree with pumped energy storage. If you aren't gifted with appropriate geology, it really isn't nearly as effective an option, is it? Also, response time is a lot different. There is enough room for both it would seem.
>Who would make an HR complaint over one ill-considered remark?

It's painfully obvious you haven't been exposed to Bay Area/West Coast start-up culture (I envy your lack of exposure).

I've seen people getting reported to HR for the following things:

- Using a photo of a Sherpa (an actual photo, not a character or drawing) in a presentation to describe the concept of guiding people and systems to their desired outcome and state. They were reported for using racist caricatures of marginalized minorities

- Discussing shooting sports in a thread about hobbies. They were reported for making people feel unsafe

- Someone posted a screen shot of a Tweet in support of BLM, but the screen shot was from Blacktivist, a Twitter account that was part of a Russian propaganda campaign. Someone replied to the screen shot that maybe it should be taken down since it was literally created and pushed from a propaganda account. They were reported for being insensitive to PoC employees

These are just a few out of the dozens upon dozens. I'm sure many others here on HN could provide examples.

If we had to categorise interviewing as a science I think it would land squarely in the social sciences.

Difficult to impossible to reproduce results; practitioners with wildly different skills and biases; institutions with systemic biases; individual candidates who can vary wildly from day to day; cohorts that change over time and distance; a lay population with strong opinions.

We'd be better off selecting candidates randomly, but even this only kicks the can down the he road.
I'm not suggesting that Zig isn't concerned with safety, but it's not a language designed first and foremost to offer certain safety properties. For Rust you can say "as long as you don't write the `unsafe` keyword in Rust, you'll never introduce memory or thread unsafety". Is there an equivalent for Zig? Not AFAIK but I'd actually be quite happy to be shown wrong.

That is a good take. Right now I dont even want journalist to tell me what they think. I just want them to present the fact from both side and let me do the thinking. Instead they are actively shaping their readers thinking directions.
But what's the alternative? Ignoring the fact that our data is based on wrong assumptions? Act as if nothing has changed?

Sure, this is not good in the short time. But this is already a smoking gun for climate change deniers; if we were to put this under the rug for another decade, it would become a smoking nuke. And imagine the impact of that.
You're excluding this part:

> I had never received any feedback indicating my performance was poor. In fact, it was exactly the other way around: I’ve never had a role that was such a good fit for my expertise before. So I asked if he could detail better where I failed. He refused to..

It is completely unprofessional to fire someone having never given any feedback. Startup or not.
From what I remember, no more than 5% of people click on their ads( probably more nowadays with their UI gimmicks). They also do work ( not for everybody thought), especially for simpler business, where 2 sentences is more than enough to explain it.
This is not new. It has happened to inter-networking. Well that is why we call FTAM F...

It was a shock for people doing internet (which in 1990s based on us gov std will be obsoleted and all moved to iso/osi). Or in my job doing EDI. It is just crazy. We want to do us gov standard and world standard. But can’t.

Let us temporarily use this lousy Ethernet, to be obsolete internet ... can’t use sna we all know and decnet (iso ?) is too buggy.

At least this ftp, email, telnet seems work. It needs at least 2 working sample before the standard is a ietf paper. And you can at least download the paper to learn what is it.

Good luck we are in 1990s. We never did a migration from the temporary internetworking thing call internet to the grand great hall of iso/osi. Just hope health care do not repeat the same mistake. Only open available standard could work if you have more than 1 parties.
Pizza is one of those foods that can sit under heat lamps and not become incredibly bad - which means it will travel and deliver well.

But they haven’t financially recognized the full amount paid for FSD as revenue...

They’re basically long-term 0% loans like the Cybertruck deposits. They keep it in escrow and slowly recognize it feature by feature.
Well, we are all bad for the planet, but planet does not care. What we care about is OUR PLANET. Someone in the industry or the people struggle for better life may think that is YOUR PLANET. Why bother me to care YOUR PLANET?
I did not pay for FSD, so I won't be getting any of that. My issues with autopilot are about the fact it fundamentally doesn't practice defensive driving. This has nothing to do with how tesla choses to input information as they already have more than enough detail to drive more defensively. They are fundamentally creating a very bad driver who cannot safely interact with other traffic and actively creates more risk on the road.
Clojurescript still has the annoying problem of having to convert between the two language data structures. So even with shadow-cljs(no idea how good it is) Cljs is no smooth sailing either. Immer seems to be the best compromise and more ergonomic approach to immutability in JS. Immutability is also needed much less in single-threaded environments where JS operates where async code is pretty much used for IO 99% of the time.
Good. These politicians fail to realize they work for the people much too often. "Newsom spokesman Dan Newman slammed the push as “hyper-partisan” and a “scheme.”"

Uh no. It's more like he's a bad person and a bad Governor. The gall to say this while allowing Hollywood to ignore the same inane rules you throw at the working class. People don't like hypocrites and they don't like their livelihood being taken away while the rich get richer.

>diversion -- (the scenarios are off track, but saying so advances the agenda of those opposed to action) and,

It is probably worthwhile to note: while the above might actually be a defensive response to these data, the argument is not necessarily valid -- the fact that emissions have been overestimated does not necessarily weaken the case for action. In particular, changes in temperature and precipitation continue to be observed even consistent with "wrong" models[1], and as such the sensitivity of the climate to these lower levels of emissions is not "good news".

Nobody owes you a free publishing platform. He expects that by calling the publishers of some journal "craven" and "scared", that he's going to elicit a reversal of their decision, and positive response from them, something to the effect of "oh, how dare we deny your article, woe unto us, we were so dreadfully wrong"... Really?

The biggest takeaway that I got from his December essay, and this one? A sense of self righteous entitlement, that whatever he writes must be of such great import and merit that of course publishers should be falling all over themselves to print it. Has he taken the time to sit back and consider that maybe he's not as critically important to the English language literature scene as he believes himself to be?

In general, insulting your potential publishing platform only serves to burn bridges. So, good luck with that, guy.

> But the whole point of the diversity hire isn't that you get someone who isn't white and that's it. The idea is that for every job, there are thousands of people who are qualified to do it, and among those, there are certainly people from all sorts of walks of life, and you'd spend earnest effort overcoming your subconscious biases by dipping your hand into the pool of equally skilled candidates, and pulling out the one that this overtly white dominated society we live in has held down since forever.

How did you find a recruiting pipeline where you can confidently say that there are thousands of equally competent potential hires in it? In Software Engineering?
