Not sure it'd go as far back as you're suggesting, but one of the handful of ancient Egyptian stories that survives is called "The Eloquent Peasant" and is entirely about lawyering, basically. ~1800BCE, most likely, but there's a history of Egyptian stories being badly mis-dated, due to both modern and ancient lies about when a story was composed.

Yes, although the central service provides data that a browser-side algorithm can use to put the user into a cohort. The browser history itself isn't directly sent to the service.

Sure, but we usually group these sorts of disagreements as axiomatic disagreements, not bias.

Maybe I'm grossly naive, but I doubt that percentage wise there are many hiring managers who hold racial superiority as axiomatic.

My understanding is that hiring bias usually boils down to assumptions about aggregate intelligence, trustworthiness, and/or work ethic of groups of people. If someone thinks Swedes just aren't that smart, it's not a matter of axiomatic disagreement about if being smart is good or bad in an employee, it is something that objective data can fix. If someone is worried that black people are generally untrustworthy due to criminal pasts, that's something that they can be objectively shown to be untrue.

(Yes, I grew up in a time and place where racist/originist Sven and Ole jokes about dumb Swedes were common.)

I mean, from age 12-18 my school started at 7:30. Which meant I had to get on the bus at 6:45 to make it on time. Which meant I had to get up at 6am. I was actually getting up earlier for school than my dad for work for a while, lol.

And no, it wasn't some ancient history either.
Ask HN: Have you found a good workflow for reviewing PRs on GitHub?
I am beginning to despair. I can't even really put my finger on what exactly it is, but I find reviewing PRs on github extremely painful. For example, I keep missing my own comments when checking back if the author addressed them. Why is there no list of "all my comments"? Maybe filterable by outdated,resolved and open..

"there’s a good reason why Accenture has gotten so large and been so successful, and it’s because they generally provide value to their clients"

This is probably true if 'client' refers to the decision-maker, rather than the entity paying for the services.

Say you're managing some massive government department, that definitely needs some particular change. You and your team don't have the skills, experience or even desire to do the work. But you can't be seen to do nothing. You can hire a consulting firm to do the work. It's not your money, after all, and your team cannot reasonably be expected to have these very specialist skills. So, you hire the firm. Whether the project succeeds or fails, the firm provided value to you (the person responsible for the decision). In the worst case, you get someone to blame, and your reputation is preserved because: how were you to know this famous firm would not deliver what they promised.

If you use the word 'client' to refer to those who foot the bill (shareholders or taxpayers), then it might not be the case that thes mega consulting firms 'generally provide value to their clients'.

This seems like a large enough instance of a principal-agent problem to be worth studying. And, for government contracts at least, the information is public.

Has anyone done such a study?
Interesting content. But I wonder what the purpose of this type of content is related to Retool?
Do you see these types of companies as threats or competitors?
The article seems to be saying that the study shows that hiring managers are able to identify with not a lot of interaction candidates that are well-educated, gainfully employed and earn a high salary and unsurprisingly favors such candidates. This is not class bias - you can't just define class as that which employers care about and then accuse hiring managers of having a class bias when they understandably look for these traits.
The order books are not "real" its mostly bots who place and remove orders on the fly and they react to the price and to the price on other exchanges. There is no way to know how much the price would drop if someone sells for $1MM. also selling all at once, selling it over a few minutes or selling it over an few hours will drastically change the effect. No one who wants to maximize profit would sell fast if liquidity is low because obviously your average at lower then.

Do you have have links for monastery? I have so many questions... how big is it? what does it look like? I love the idea of earth as a building material, and I'd love to see what the state of the art is now. Do we, as a species, possess the skill to build a Guastavino vault as good as a century ago in New York? Or something as pleasing Cuba's National Art Schools?

3d printing a building might be a cursed problem. If it doesn't scale past single-family dwellings, it's useless. Mo sprawl, mo problems. How could this tech scale up to the size of an apartment building? If you have a big crane, prefab panels are certainly cheaper and faster. Maybe if you built in the style of Agadez Mosque, with the scaffold incorporated into the structure, the robots could climb as they build. That seems to rule out toothpaste extrusion as a technique since the cure time would be a bottleneck. (Let's rule out energy intense curing agents.)

A bricklaying robot... supplied with bricks via the scaffold in the structure.... could the engineering to do that possibly be cost effective against skilled humans? Or the big crane? We haven't even considered aesthetics.

Cursed. Problem.
So this reflects economy of scale (more turbines per area) rather than higher output/turbine, right?
Unclear to me are what these headers do to the browser.

I mean... the docs say that they are a "site" header that you should apply to a "page". Does that mean that you must apply it to all pages to exclude a site? Is absence on one page taken as opting back in to FLoC?

If the scope is site, then it would be better as a DNS entry. I've a feeling the scope is truly page though and I've also a feeling that most people who choose to add this header will add it on all assets now - which is a bit of a waste of bytes (even with header compression in place) but would be the only way to guarantee that all pages have it.

Think of the absurdity of this situation. We all get together and vote to pay one group of people to keep us safe from another group of people, and then cheer for the ability to evade the people we hired.

It sure seems like the overwhelming majority of law-abiding citizens with an opinion disagree with the extent of electronic surveillance (maybe it’s just this echo chamber). So, is democracy working? Are we all grossly misinformed about the terrible things that this prevents? How can democracy work if we are so uninformed?

People talk about abolishing police, and I wonder what would come of that. I believe that the popular will toward some form of community protective services is so strong that it would materialize out of necessity. But in what form? Even the cartels deliver world-class public safety for their territories, but only if you tolerate their own atrocities.

The justification of electronic surveillance is mostly stated in terms of physical crime prevention. This suggests that the forces on the ground are basically incompetent. Any sort of real-world crime that would require large-scale electronic communication, involves a lot of people, and leaves a lot of physical evidence. It just can’t go on within a community that trusts and invites law enforcement.

Likewise in the electronic world, certain levels of surveillance are welcomed. Most people would probably rather use a platform that recovered funds from hacks and scams. But this doesn’t seem to be its purpose. Actually we have no idea what is being watched or why, and the only thing we observe from officials is political shoe-banging against whatever group of citizens are the objects of today’s moral outrage. So it’s pretty easy to become extremely paranoid, and reject all forms of surveillance in favor of accepting the risk of all those terrible things that it may or may not have prevented.

So if this is the wrong idea, it seems pretty easy to fix with transparency. What do we really gain by operating in the shadows? I see this as somewhat similar to the comparison between proprietary and open source models. The Britannica is dead. Transparency allows trust and collaboration from sources that never would have been able to contribute. And what if criminals knew what evidence is being collected on them? My best guess is that 99% of criminals would give up at the first sign of trouble. Transparency is the ultimate force multiplier. The greatest victory is to win without a fight. We forget this. It feels good to fight and win and get a medal at the award ceremony. Transparent power is boring, safe, democratic.
So does the article.
The discussion here is, frankly, better and more informative than the study or article, which was cross-sectional (non-randomized, population full of unknown confounding variables) and largely doesn't tell us anything meaningful that we didn't already know from firsthand experience or introspection.

An amusing description. As an ex Accenture person, I would say that the company develops and implements tons of critical business systems for its customers. One reason Accenture used to get a lot of flak from the tech side of any of their customers, is that they were traditionally close to the business users and execs in the customer organization. That gave them sufficient insurance in the event of failed projects unless these ended up in court.

But they are a relatively innovative co who have outlived peers and pioneers like GEISCO, EDS and the like, who were not innovative at all. For example, some time or the other in their lives, they depended on a captive set of clients and then the rot set in.

Today, Accenture is indistinguishable from Tata, Infosys and other successful outsourcers. Now you no longer find truckloads of Accenture partners and partner wannabes in tailgate parties e.g., when the Buckeyes visit Ann Arbor.

The staffing mix has changed considerably. The ACN offices in and around the Great Lakes region do not confine their recruitment to Michigan, Michigan State, OSU or Case Western. There are more there now who are alumni of Bangalore and Mumbai universities.

It's not really a blog post, even though it's pushed out over their "blog" endpoint. This post is part of https://github.blog/changelog/ which tends to lean closer to the "git commit message" length than blog post length. Just a statement of changes they've made users may notice or be affected by.

I don't believe this is true. To the best of my knowledge (and a quick Google) Apple has no MMSC servers. I've certainly never input any.

SMS and MMS sent on iOS use the same servers an Android phone would. But when the target phone number is detected as being iMessage capable that whole system is ignored and iMessage is used instead.

A lot of Gen Z (18-23) are not using their Instagram accounts, or they have so many instagram accounts that they don't check and it is a high probability that you receive their "thirst trap" account where they just collect followers to look at their body and ignore. Not necessarily to consciously ignore, but just never check the messages at all because their personal instagram with their group conversations are elsewhere.
Heirloom: A low-cost approach to direct air capture via mineralization
> "How much energy can we get out of a plot of land of a given size?"

I don't believe this is an answerable question in this format. The size of a plot says nothing of land topography, nor the average wind currents for any given timeframe.

Wind farms are great tech, but adequate calculation of efficiency and cost/benefit is always subjective to individual installations. Solar farm efficiency calculations are easier because the variables at play are much more consistent. Essentially: panel efficiency * sun exposure * array size. I don't believe this formula translates to wind farms.

Finding a more efficient design for wind-to-energy conversion is a lot like making an improvement in the "panel efficiency" part of solar arrays. Or maybe wind has an "array design" variable to consider since one turbine's design can affect the wind energy capacity of another. This isn't the same for solar, unless panels overlap during certain times of the day.

> First, you note how many pencils are available -- three. Then, each time someone asks you for one, (which we call "down"ing the mutex) you subtract one from the number in your head and give them a pencil

Isn't that a semaphore rather than a mutex?

For ELI5 on semaphores, it's like going at the train station, airport, or Mc Donald's: There is a single queue for multiple counters. Everyone is given a paper with a number, and once a counter is free, the one with the lowest number can walk to it. A semaphore is just the number of free counters, it decreases when someone goes to one, and increases when one leaves. If the semaphore is zero, there is no free spot, and people will have to queue.

It's quite close to another synchronization primitive, barriers: if you have to wait for n tasks to finish, you make one with n spots, and release everyone when all the spots are filled.

To me, mutexes are semaphores, but with only one counter: there is only exactly one or zero resources available. If you take the mutex, others will have to wait for you to be done before they can take it. They can queue in any fashion, depending on the implementation: first come, first served; fastest first; most important first; random; etc.

A bunch of reasons: key decision makers being pretty far removed from the day-to-day of projects; everyone lying about how poorly the project is going to CYA; project timelines being so long that these projects end up losing visibility in the C-suite long before completion; etc.

In some cases, like Hertz, they do actually damage their partners. But most of their clients are massive multinational conglomerates who can readily suffer from a string of failed multi-million dollar projects. Like any parasite, they know not to kill their host.

> because you can't hoard the entire market cap doesn't mean it is ridiculous or not a useful measure

It sort of does. We can talk about the monetary base, but it's not a great way to understand the value of an individual dollar because the whole isn't really meaningful in a precise way. A whole company can be purchased and still have value. That gives market cap, as a metric, grounding.

https://medium.com/@MidwesternHedgi/teslas-driver-fatality-r...

> Remember that BMW and Audi combined had 9 driver fatalities in nearly 900,000 vehicle years? Clearly, 11 Tesla driver fatalities in 265,000 vehicle years is not a good start. But even those numbers likely understate the danger of driving a Tesla...

> Even without making any adjustment whatsoever for missing fatality data, Tesla drivers are much more likely to die than their peers driving other luxury cars. Eleven deaths in 265,290 vehicle-years is a stunningly high driver fatality rate of 41.46. That’s quadruple the rate of Audi and BMW, and more than triple the rate of all luxury cars combined.

The issue is whether design decisions by Tesla are leading to fatalities. They are, if you compare them to the luxury segment they are in. Advertising an autopilot feature which does not work, and moving standard controls to a distracting, inconsistent touch screen interface is leading to more crashes and more deaths.

If land is your dominating cost factor, its how many kw per acre can you generate. So dense circular turbines seem good.

If the cost to produce the turbines is the dominating cost factor, and traditional turbines are "cheaper" to build, it could be a win in some cases to use more land with normal wind turbines. The more you spread them, the less problem you have with wake on downstream turbines.

Or it could vary based on land value of where you are installing a given plant.
