I wanted so see the effect sizes not just p values which are unhelpful. But if the vegans are all vitamin b12 deficient, it’s not a surprise their health has consequences.

And my other question is, is there self selection going on. People who go to hospitals have worse outcomes than people who don’t, so the best thing to do is to avoid hospitals. P < 0.001. Right? No, wrong. Did they become vegans due to digestive problems or other health issue?

I’d really like to read the article to see if they considered these things.
Interesting. Based on that data, this has likely flipped since most commenters here were in school.
Have you worked at a publicly traded SV company that pays comparable to MSFT, Amazon, FB, Google or Apple with good stock growth? Nowadays there are startups that don't do algo interviews, so if you've been lucky, then you've never encountered that interview type.

Leetcode is shorthand for algo interview prep, there are many alternatives to leetcode itself.
>It is certainly not a means of enforcing a licensing scheme.

Could you explain what gave you the impression that this was about licensing schemes? That was definitely not my intention.
It's not even clear what's meant by "red meat". In all the studies they mix up consumption of unprocessed and processed meats. In my totally non-scientific metastudy I came to the conclusion that it's essentially processed meat with nitrates that poses the major health threat.
They certainly don't propose 100x, they propose the capacity for $100M/day, which is 11x, but they only propose the capacity for 11x. They don't run it 24/7, but only in spurts, dramatically lowering the power requirements.
yes, whereas I lean (strongly) to the earlier
These types of comments are honestly unhelpful. Unfortunately the said can be about my comment, but I do not have the ability to downvote, alas.

If they held bitcoin would their opinion matter more or less? Why should it matter?
> Thanks for demonstrating, once again, that biased attacks against Israel are heavily laced with Antisemitism.

Antisemitism is such a tired strawman. Am I accused of sinophobia if I critique the CCP? Of course not. But critique of Israel is so often interpreted as 'antisemetic'.

Please think more carefully about using 'antisemitism'. Israeli power does not represent all Jews - and calling 'antisemitism' to deflect critique of it is just disrespectful to the lived experience of historically oppressed Jewish people everywhere.
My argument is consistent. Israel was an illegally created colony and it continues its illegal expansion.

I strongly disagree that we should just give up on stopping the Palestinian colonization. For example, one concrete thing that is absolutely politically attainable would be to completely cut the US funding sent to Israel (billions of dollars a year).

I do not think a colony that's less than 100 years old has to be taken "as a given".
My partner is a lawyer and I am a software developer. We've both been in these fields for about a decade.

The key difference between our professional experiences is that the legal profession is self-regulating, whereas software devs/qa/pms are totally socially atomized.

Lawyers have their own organizations, which give them some independence from their clients. Society accepts that this is desirable for the maintenance of the legal order.

Software occupations should move in this direction, for the good of practitioners (wages, working conditions, fairness in promotions and hiring) and the wider society (complement to government regulation around security, privacy, fairness in hiring and promotion).

The bar association defines the examination that lawyers must pass to practice. Employer/client interviews focus more on "culture fit" and familiarity with specific practice areas than on certifying basic competence. The bar also administers "continuing education" to ensure that a lawyer who passed the bar decades ago isn't totally out of the loop on recent developments.

I would love to see the software sector move toward this kind of self-regulation through unionization. We have the power, we just need to coordinate.

Instead of a high-stakes and all-too-often arbitrary interview every single time you want to change jobs, you could prove your basic competence to practice through an exam, and elect to fulfill your continuing education requirements however makes sense for you, within a framework decided upon by workers themselves.

Such a system would not be perfect. No set of examinations is ever going to perfectly capture ever-shifting real world requirements, for example. But we can hardly do worse that the sector is doing now.

We have to stop letting recruiters (i.e. middlemen) and employers (i.e. counter-parties in the employment relation) dictate terms to software workers arbitrarily. The wider society should support tech worker organization in unions because these organizations would provide a check on executive and investor power. Without such checks and balances, we can only expect more of the same short-term thinking and ethical corner cutting.
first of all, half my family are war refugees from a field that is way more dangerous than Israel has been in the last 20 years, so let's talk.

you're making a ridiculous leap from "worked in intelligence for the government" to "starts selling spyware to the worst human rights abusers in the planet". it just looks to me like you're in the camp of "my country can do no wrong".

I'm also British and feel fine openly criticizing my government for selling weapons to the Saudis.
Thanks for the insight. I’ll definitely take a look. I haven’t used many Microsoft services in the past couple of years, so I admit I’m a bit in the dark with their newer services.
Layout is more important than handwriting for maths, no?
If you read some of the posts on WSB a huge number of people just really have no clue about capital markets, investing, or basic business sense.

I don't know how many times I saw people claiming GME would go to $1000 because the new CEO has a brilliant new scheme to turn the company around by going digital! Why "going digital" in 2021 means your company is worth 100X what it was a few months ago I'll never quite understand. I guess no one had yet discovered the opportunity of these computer machines and the World Wide Web!

Or "it's the short squeeze" By people who didn't even know what a short was 72 hours before, long after the shorts had covered their positions.

Sure some people acknowledge they are essentially gambling in equities, but tons of people truly think they have some stunning insight into a business because of some anonymous WSB shitpost they read this morning.
> By the same you could say the same cops that are murdering black lives are funded in part by the taxes of Silicon Valley companies.

That's nonsensical, and completely ignores the idea of power/control. The Chinese government has direct control over Chinese manufacturers, and derives power from them. Derek Chauvin or the MPD (for example) do not control or derive power from a Bay Area tech company Google, and have only a very tenuous relationship with it (if any).

> You could say Guantanamo Bay was funded in part by your taxes. You could say all the ruckus in Nicaragua was funded by your taxes as well.

And if you want to boycott American goods over that, be my guest.
If the half life is that long, it's not very dangerous as energy / time is very low.
OP may be referring to algorithms that rotate between a fixed set of widely dissimilar POW puzzles, in an attempt to make it discouragingly expensive to design and fabricate a rather complex ASIC requiring a lot of die space.

IIRC it didn't work for long (the of promoters of these tokens were likely well aware of this), and ASICs for them appeared anyway, once an ROI probability threshold was reached.
> but we can't ignore a fact in favor of not hurting people's feelings

This should be either a perfectly put sarcastic statement or a result of living in a sort of cultural isolation in the past decade.
You assume the support team lacks empathy. More likely they simply lack the power to do anything more than they already have. I doubt that the support folks have raw access to the database tables for your account and the swaywm repos, for example. In light of that, I agree with the other commenters who say that your "joke" was abusive toward the support rep.
This is the problem with making it about sex or gender.

‘Men’ as a category may not be that group with respect to ‘Women’ as a category.

But there are a huge number of men who are in fact, just as disadvantaged as a huge number of women even if that number is marginally smaller.

There is no reason at all why those men’s problems should not be receiving the same attention that women’s problems are receiving, other than the framing as a response to oppression of groups.
Two of my kids (one a boy and one a girl) act absolutely nuts and "must" have something like ADHD... until you make sure they run around outside at least 4hrs a day, consistently. Then they're fine.

Unfortunately this is effectively impossible to achieve for 2-3 months every year, with school in session and short Winter days. They're in lower elementary school but I think their total recess time per day is only about 30-40 minutes, and much of the time they don't even get that because it's raining or too cold (pft, whatever, wear coats) or something else, and they have them watch a movie more often than not in those cases (nb. this is a "good" school district)

We have one other kid—a girl—who doesn't seem to need this to not "act wild".

The other trigger for "crazy" behavior seems to be when they're presented with unpleasant social situations and don't know how to deal with them. Like, say, being forced to be around kids who are mean to them. Gee, I wonder where that happens a whole bunch.
Young women now earn more than young men on average. Most high paying jobs go to people near the end of their career who are part of a different generation. I think it’s too early to know if young women are still discriminated against in the workplace.
I'm hoping we'll be able to take the good parts and leave the bad. IMO the problem with the app store models is that the certificate system is required, expensive and hard to use.

An optional system that is free and easy to use hopefully addresses these issues.

No one is planning on a mandatory app store or anything like that. We just want to make it easier to sign things and check signatures for people that want to.
A significant portion of developers (and especially developers on this website) have experience with, or desire experience with, these FAANGs and SV companies, and these posts are relevant to them. If you feel like you aren't the target audience, then you are welcome to ignore the post and click on something else. But it's a bit absurd to condescend others just because they have different experiences than you.

And with that said, you too should care, because I guarantee it's only a matter of time before those "hum-drum industries" take a look at the way SV does things and says "hey, we should do that too". This is already happening in many places. Your company could be next. You should be interested, if only to learn to spot the warning signs and nip it in the bud when you can.

The number who are actually fluent and culturally embedded is miniscule. I personally know some graduates of this program.
Well yeah, I have a daughter who finished high school and I've observed:

- when I was in school I only cared about results for the subjects that interested me; otherwise i did just enough to pass
- when she was in school she cared about high grades for all subjects
I've seen this too - a fake business (one selling bait-and-switch low quality services through online storefronts) had many 5 star reviews, and if you clicked into their profiles you'd see a smattering of 5 stars reviews all across the country, sometimes in different countries. Some of them also gave a few 1 star reviews to a few places, probably the flip side of the same review selling business.
> > Amazon got in touch with the city and changed the traffic light patterns to make traffic worse for union voters:

> On December 15th, the county increased the green light duration in an effort to clear workers off the worksite faster. There’s no indication that the county was aware of the ongoing organizing drive or any effect the traffic light changes might have on the effort.

Improving traffic flow is somehow now an anti-union activity?

Low wage workers do much less consequential decisions. The issue of making unethical decisions for career is very much issue of white collar people who often have choice.
Trusted review website Which? Investigates review website and find they're not as good as Which?

I do actually think Which? is a fairly good company that does a good thorough job (and I've bought a subscription before), but this is hardly news. Online review companies have no incentive to make their reviews accurate and their customers (the people who they're actually reviewing) are highly incentivised to cheat.
Don't know why the pretty obvious explanation for why this sort of thing is common is downvoted.

Even if you're some weirdo who thinks there is no gender discrimination in the workplace, you can't deny that many women at least perceive there to be gender discrimination, and one of the tips passed around is to stop self-deprecating yourself in front of your colleagues.
Diagnostic names matter and are very often misused. Like saying something is very schizophrenic, meaning multiple personalities, which have nothing to do with schizophrenia at all. But good luck getting people to use words correctly! A great example is "pedophilia". Try telling someone who uses it wrongly that it does per definition only include small children. You'll likely be called a pedo. It's like mentioning Nazis in a discussion.
With shrinking recess time and PE disappearing from some schools, I also wonder if a lot of this is caused by boys having more energy and needing more movement than girls. Energy has to go somewhere so it ends up manifesting itself in behaviors that are deemed "disruptive" (really, not sitting still and being unable to concentrate on tasks).

Maybe it's something that female administrators and teachers fail to understand.

It would also explain the current epidemic of ADHD and especially ADHD medication prescribed to young boys.
Nuscale is targeting the end of the decade for its first project to come online. Terrapower does not have a licensed design yet, so it will be longer.
Roblox is not a game as such, it's a platform for user generated games. I'm not sure why you have such a strong opinion on this if you don't even know what it is
>Because unions lobby more than almost anyone else.

That might be true in the past, but it doesn't seem to be the case anymore. see for instance the numbers for 2020: https://www.opensecrets.org/elections-overview/top-organizat...
I don't think it's simple enough to give a single answer to or to be able to answer entirely (and I'm not an expert at all), but I think there's a lot of factors...sexism, the competition at the top level and the natural aggressiveness of men, rewarding aggression in business, the negative view of babies and women with families in culture (again, sexism).

Honestly though...I think one of the biggest factors is that success in school does not predict success in a job. The traits rewarded in school do not correlate to the traits rewarded in high-competition jobs. Being quiet, listening, doing your work on time, not challenging the status quo, parroting things that teachers want you to, not challenging others...none of those things are traits you think of when you think of CEOs. Not that I think that aggressiveness necessarily SHOULD be what we're rewarding as a culture, but when the only goal is profits...it's hard to think that those things make a top company.

I'll probably get down-voted for mentioning him (and that's fine, I don't care), but Jordan Peterson has some really fascinating talks about personality traits between men and women and why personality traits in men lend toward more aggressiveness which is rewarded in competitive business.
This article is really about (the group) Which? asking for regulatory action i.e. the purpose of journalism isn't only to tell you that the building fell over, but also what the consequences for wider society are.
> People predicted the same thing would happen due to technology enabling outsourcing in the 90s. The only success was at the lower-end of the information economy.

I agree, for a variety of reasons, but there is a joker in the deck: will the distribution of required skill change over time? IOW, should we expect demand to grow faster at the low end of the information economy, in the middle, or at the top? I don't think it is too reasonable to expect the distribution to remain fixed over time.

Right now, we've been seeing a lot of growth in demand at the top end, but that was true for the 'service economy' at the start too. The irony of the scenario where increasing automation depresses the wages of the lowest skill jobs because they can most easily be filled with fungible human labor while expanding the demand for workers to fill them due to Jevon's Paradox should not be lost on us.

It is entirely possible that entry-level software work will become as much of a dead-end job as being a customer service representative.
How would that be "totally incorrect"? There are only 24 hours in a day. It's incorrect to claim that there's 25, 26 or 27 hours in the day - even if it's useful and proper, it's not technically correct.

If feels like this could be solved if Google/Yelp/Etc wanted to solve it, but it would cut into their profits.

Give the business an app to generate unique QR codes for each customer, and then have that customer use the code to make the review.

Now everyone knows that the review comes from a person who actually bought the product, the reviewer is more likely to be honest because their identity is known to the seller, and the business can even remediate the issue because they know which customer left the review.

To those saying anonymity equals honesty in the review, I really don't think that's the case, nor is it fair to the business. Much like our courts require an accuser to identify themselves to their attacker so their attacker can defend themselves, businesses should at least know who their accuser is, even if the rest of us don't.

That's a matter of taste. Argument permutation is evil, IMHO. It's also dangerous. If someone can't be bothered to order their arguments, they also can't be bothered to use the "--" option terminator, which means permutation is a correctness and security headache.

But it's the behavior on GNU systems, and it's even the behavior of most applications using getopt_long on other non-GNU, non-Linux systems (because getopt_long permuted by default, and getopt_long is a de facto standard now). So it should be supported.
Oh I don't know that freelancing is the best choice when one wants "lack of dread"... :))
To put these in perspective, the US consumes 500 GWh of electricity every hour. Of the 23 GWh of existing storage, 20 GWh come in the form of hydroelectricity. 100 MWh of storage only amounts to 1.4 seconds of electricity storage. We don't need megawatt hours worth of storage. We don't need gigawatt hours worth of storage. We need terawatt hours worth of storage. We're 6+ orders of magnitude off between the amount of storage necessary, and the storage we can feasibly build.
I recently started designing t-shirts aimed at gamers. It's not art, more like graphic design. I uploaded the designs to a Print on Demand (POD) service. Sales so far are zero (which is what I was expecting) but the main movitation was to improve my design skills.

Here are mockups of some of the designs:

https://postimg.cc/KkLKJkxd

What I would love to hear from anyone (especially gamers) is:

Are these designs any good or likeable? Or something you would never wear?

The game controllers are not meant to imitate actual game controllers (e.g. Xbox) but are a stylized interpretation. But I wonder if gamers prefer a copy of their favourite console controller instead of something more generic or abstract?

And for those interested in more detail...here's what I've learned so far designing t-shirts:

- Keep it simple: A design that is easy to understand and be seen from a distance can work well.

- Choice of type matters: This makes a big difference. I haven't mastered this by a long shot. Still learning and practising.

- Colour is important: finding a pleasant-looking combination of appealing colours is really hard.

Fun fact: The design with the wording 'Ready to play' was rejected by the POD service. I later discovered it was because it is a trademarked phrase!
Pirating goes beyond copyright infringement in my jurisdiction.

I've never had a startup offer to pay close to what FAANG gives in terms of compensation. And no the equity worth as much as pre-COVID toilet paper doesn't count.

edit: And I've never seen a startup offer enough equity to offset the average risk of that equity being worth nothing (and things like not being able to invest the money). It's fine to take a gamble, the payout can be nice, but in terms of average expected money after X years startups are light years away from FAANG in my experience.
It's both. The individuals themselves are to blame for the fraudulent reviews, and Google and other services are to blame for fostering environments that allow fraudulent reviews to be so prevalent.
Thank you for the kind words!

We are friendly with Semantic Scholar, and have used their "open corpus" dumps as one of several URL seed lists for crawling in the past. Their search and discovery tech is more sophisticated than ours is likely to be any time soon (https://medium.com/ai2-blog/building-a-better-search-engine-...). We would love to get to the place where groups like AI2, which are primarily research-oriented, could build on an existing open catalog and corpus, and not need to duplicate time crawling, merging catalogs, cleaning metadata, etc. As of today Microsoft Academic (used by Semantic Scholar) might be a better option.

Want to be thoughtful about ranking signals, and are deeply skeptical of journal impact factor, h-index, and most bibliometrics. "Has this been cited more than a handful of times" seems like a reasonable coarse boost. Hope to include more curated signals, like "won a paper prize", "journal in DOAJ and other reviewed indices", etc.

Have been working on a citation graph, keep an eye out for something about that in coming months. One cool thing we hope to do with the citation graph is find "missing works" not yet in the catalog (eg, don't have a DOI, especially for pre-1990 era).
