I think you might misinterpret the meaning of this phrase if you think the U.S.A.-man should not be the one to criticize it.

It has nothing to do with race; there are many similar North-West European proverbs that describe a similar tendency that advise against attempting to be exceptional.

U.S.A. society is opposite; it is known to celebrate and encourage exceptionalism and to reward those that have achieved it, or were simply born so.

And even if your interpretation were true, I see no reason why your country of residence would præclude you from criticizing something you disagree with. — the man who feels responsible for the actions of other by association, I find is is also very often the man who assigns responsibility to the innocent by association.

> Having an outsider's viewpoint is going to be extremely valuable in the coming years, but it's currently out of fashion.

This is wishful thinking, and I've seen no indication that the current groupthink is going to do anything but grow more dominant.
Many conservative viewpoints are perfectly acceptable to share in the workplace. Down with taxes, small government, privatize and monetize, down with regulations, etc.

Well. Except there's some lines. If you work in the oil industry and you complain about regulation of food products, fine. But if you complain about environmental regulations that pertain to your business and an inspector happens to overhear, then your company can expect the worst. So it's in your boss's interest to come down on you, even when the inspector isn't around to hear.

Nah. Plenty know that they're doing what they want at the expense of other people. But the bullies who think they're doing something good are the most dangerous, since they don't have any moral qualms about how far they take things.
Yep, there's loads and loads of config options. Linux isn't a big immutable blob, there's a reason it gets used in both tiny devices in supercomputers, you can build your kernel however you like.

It's not a microkernel but it does a pretty good job of being flexible for a monolithic kernel.

If you're curious, clone the kernel source and run `make menuconfig` and you can play with it yourself

chia claims that its proof of work alternative is "eco-friendly"[1]. This is also reflected in their advertising material, eg. instead of having a whitepaper they have a "greenpaper", and rather than mining they have "farming. While it's true that proof space is less energy intensive to "farm", wouldn't economics dictate that the resource consumption is equal to proof of work's resource consumption? All you're doing is shifting opex (electricity consumption) to capex (hardware costs). We can see this in bitcoin mining hardware. They've gotten exponentially more efficient over the years, but electricity consumption hasn't gone down. Having lower opex only incentivizes miners to pour more money into hardware, which results in resources poured into manufacturing rather than providing electricity.

Would be nice for this to extend to the University level too. Universities here in the US can basically compel students to do anything. With this whole covid thing my school threatened expelling students if they didn't test constantly or sign up to get the vaccine. I'm not denying the vaccine, but this is downright egregious of a public institution being able to do this.
Truth is treason in the empire of lies.
They could have saved the same amount of money by not providing numerous office perks, limiting employee travel, and cramping employees into smaller offices (I think square footage at average home office is less that at Googlepex). So basicaly they took away some benefits. If this to continue long-term, eventually they would be forced to compensate for these loses to stay competitive in the job market by salary raises or by providing some other perks for work-from-home employees.

Advocating for “viewpoint diversity” is sometimes just code for “I don’t want to be held accountable for my racist views”.

Not all political opinions should be tolerated in the workplace. White supremacists, if allowed to run unchecked within your company, will push out people of color. Misogynists will push out women.
Not really, Covaxin was also rejected about a month prior.

However I believe the original comment refers to the refusal of the Brazilian government to commit/invest in any of the vaccines while they were being developed, then stubbornly dismissing the importance of vaccination while promoting snake oil treatments.
The problem is that this isn’t just my problem: being able to use your own router is required by FCC rules and IPv6 access is something that should be standard at this point especially for new build outs. I am happy to help them solve both problems. The point is that a municipal broadband would have it be accountable, while a private corporation has fewer restrictions.
AFAIK unlike storage coins (eg. sia or storj), it's not being used for anything, it's just "burned". Proof of work burns compute cycles. Proof of storage burns storage space.

Guesses poorly too, based on the examples. The crack growth example is almost laughable. These are nowhere close to where real cracks would form. Cracks start on the inside corner of brittle joints.

The bar stretch is also completely wrong, there are no stress concentrations at the top and bottom; it should be uniform stress or concentrated strain in the center depending on what they're attempting to show.
My company (a 100,000+ employees bank) also announced they would introduce a new flexible working program, and every employee would receive around US$500 for their workspace at home. Two days after that I read a news article how my company was giving up 3 floors in their HQ, which equals a monthly rent of US$3 million. Guess it all evens out in the end.
People are always asking me, "How much will 1 XCH be worth?". $13.51 on May 3rd is my answer.

There is still a huge hole: all the contact info is available anyway in the phone's address book. Assuming the common practice of syncing that address book to the cloud, the prosecutors just need to subpoena Google or Apple, and they get full Signal contact list of each person.

I am amazed that Signal claims to be private while requiring all chat participants to expose their government-regulated phone number often tied to the legal identity.

Well, if one accepts the argument that identity-based diversity among the workforce is important to more fully represent the perspectives of everyone in society... then that logic extends to political diversity and other kinds of viewpoint/idea diversity as well.

Seems those decrying the article are often aligned with the one diversity assumption... curious why they seem to be rejecting the others.

Chia pre-mined 6 years worth of block rewards. Proof-of-space may be the closest thing we have to a viable proof-of-work replacement but this instantiation of it feels like a get rich quick scheme for its founders.

Edit: My calculation was based on the initial reward schedule of 64 units per block, but when you take into account the fact that it ramps down to 4 units per block shortly thereafter, it's actually a premine of 21 years: https://www.coindesk.com/5-takeaways-from-chia-networks-new-...

> Now the only people who are against interracial marriage are straight-ticket crazy people, and this sorting of society is superficially "polarization"

I'm not sure which metric of polarization is typically used in studies, but the situation you describe (vast majority agreeing, with a tiny minority in an extreme position) intuitively sounds like approaching consensus.

Intuitively, with some survey measure of 0 to 10, maximum polarization would be 50% of respondents responding 0 and 50% of respondents responding 10. Minimum polarization would be 100% of respondents giving the same answer (regardless of what that answer is). I would hope that any polarization metric being used in a serous study would give its maximum value in the former case and its minimum value in the second case.

Variance of survey responses is one statistical measure meeting these criteria, but there might be better measures. Minimum Kullback-Leibler divergence, or earth-mover's distance, from any consensus distribution might also make sense, or a fractional statistical moment less than 2 about the mean.

In any case, tons of people believing one thing and a tiny fraction of people believing something radically different doesn't fit my intuitive notion of polarization. My intuitive notion is closer to variance of survey responses, or earth-mover's distance from any consensus.

Lobbying and campaigning are tightly coupled. Splitting hairs is moot.
Google is one of the most sought after companies, but this is due to them actively advertising Google as a great place to work. Actually talking to someone who works at Google makes it more real and attainable in candidates minds and reinforces Google as a desirable place to work

If Google were to stop attending, they risk newer generations of engineers shifting their perspective on Google, especially these days when most portrayals of Google in the media are negative.

The point of Google attending these events isn't for recruiting. It's to advertise their brand to job seekers. Seeing a bunch of candidates flocking to the Google recruiters triggers FOMO is candidates who might not have been as enthusiastic
Consider: visual novels, even when entirely linear, probably count as “games” for mobile sales. They’re damn popular, are often episodic or series or have DLC to drive more sales, et c. And that’s just one kind of non-“gamer” game that’s huge on mobile.
> a lot of people certainly think around entity-relationship models (yeah, those are UML too).

Chen notation entity-relationship models are about 20 years older tha the first work on UML. UML class diagram notation is sometimes pressed into service for ER Modeling by people already invested in UML, but that’s about the extent of the relationship.

> Besides those, use-case diagrams are nice too. They also emanate that strong feeling that they don't describe the correct idea (just like message sequence for protocols), but I don't know of a better replacement, just worse ones.

The problem I have with Use Case models is that they combine abstract requirements/domain modeling with implementation design in an opinionated OO way. They may be the best way to do those together in one diagram, but I just think that’s usually a bad idea to do. For the first part, I think Level 0 Yourdon-style DFDs are a better tool; for the second, if you need OO-focused diagrams, I would probably go with UML class diagrams, recognizing that interactions are nouns in the domain.

The more crowded a place and the higher the population, the more formal the culture and the more you need mechanisms to protect your privacy and politely but effectively tell a zillion strangers to butt out.

The human mind is designed to work with a "tribe" of about 150 people. Above that and we have to layer culture and learned behaviors on top of innate traits to make the whole thing not implode.

Yea commute + kid is the key motivation for WFH for me. My Bay Area commute is 4+ hours per day, depending on traffic. This means in order to guarantee I can be at work for my first 8AM meeting, I need to wake up around 5AM and leave the house at 5:30. My day is over at around 5PM (thankfully I don't work for a workaholic culture start-up), but this still means I'm home by 7:30-8PM most days. I'm basically driving 50% of the time I spend at work, and don't get to see my kid at all besides weekends. It really sucks.

COVID-19 has been a huge quality of life boost for me.
Maybe the standard work environment has been wrong and should be changed and WFH is the way to do it.
then go drown your tears in triple distilled vodka you big baby.
That's quite a leap there. Vite has a different strategy to overcome webpack's slowness, mainly using ES modules and build on demand.

So, even if it were to support more features, it will still be a net gain over webpack.

Not to mention that vite uses esbuild which is 10-100x faster than next best
Single generation? Sure. But do you think there are fewer racists now than there were 10-20 years ago? I doubt it. I have the sense that we passed a low point in racism a few years ago and it has been increasing since then.

>not really a fair comparison given the many-orders-of-magnitudes of difference

As far as I can tell, anti-nonwhite racism in the United States has very little power. Orders-of-magnitudes of difference? I do not see it.

I was once told in code review that using XOR was "too low level" for Ruby code.

This was by a person that sprinkled lazy backfilling behavior throughout the codebase, created magic method_missing dispatches against polymorphic ActiveRecord relationships, and exposed the database as a service through a RESTful DSL that allowed arbitrary method dispatch.

I'm glad I spend most of my time in statically typed, math and binary-friendly codebases now.
“Game” is an overloaded term that encompasses too many types of experiences.

On top of that, peer review is more advisory than adversarial: it’s meant to catch honest mistakes and point out possible interpretations that the authors might have missed.

Catching out-and-out fraud, a la Wakefield, is way beyond the reviewers’ remit.

The key difference is that there is a lot of overprovisioned storage out there currently sitting idle which could be used to farm Chia with only a marginal increase in energy usage. The theory is that as this overprovisioned storage comes online it will make stockpiling storage explicitly for farming unprofitable.
This is definitely not just a British phenomenon. American workplaces have little to no viewpoint diversity these days, and no psychological safety for anyone who is moderate or conservative. Corporations have adopted numerous political stances that are right in the middle of the culture wars - support for Black Lives Matter, support for trans activists' stances, support for affirmative action (racially discriminatory hiring practices), and so on. Reasonable viewpoints like not supporting the BLM organization due to its Marxist founders, or not support transwomen's participation in women's sports, or wanting race-neutral hiring are not allowed. If you display any of these opinions, chances are you will not only be a social outcast at work, but that you'll be fired for "putting others at risk" or "creating an unsafe work environment" or "not representing the company's values" or any number of other vague justifications.

I initially thought this trend would be confined to Google and Facebook but it is everywhere now, including non-tech companies, government agencies, schools, universities, hospitals, and so on. Every space has been turned by dedicated activists into a battlefield for politics, usually with room only for one set of viewpoints (progressive ones). In the case of schools, they have been turned into indoctrination centers as radical activist curricula have replaced more balanced, standard material - all without parents' knowledge or consent.

For those worried about viewpoint diversity in our society, please consider following or supporting some of the organizations that are speaking up below, and consider supporting school choice (https://reason.com/2021/01/27/viewpoint-diversity-will-get-a...).

Immediately following a Biblical Jubilee, a 30 year mortgage is perfectly manageable. 10 years later it is still manageable. 10 more years later, and you might want to cap it at a 25-year mortgage. 10 more years later and new mortgages don't go much past 15 years. Then there's a space of 5+ years that people can only get 10-year mortgages. Then no mortgages for 10 years. Then we jubilee and everything busts open again.

I think it would be very hard to predict all the side effects of such a controlled cycle. It's easy to predict some of the effects. But I wouldn't have any confidence in any model that purported to tally it all up without actually living though several cycles in real life.
