IMO the sentence is incorrect. Static type systems would "enforce the stronger constraint" at run time... same as the dynamic type system. Perhaps the dynamic type system can have a fancy linter that does something crazy like running your code... but I'm not aware of any such linter.
> 4. People who absolutely cant stand their families want to spend time away from them.

I don't think this is fair characterisation. If you have kids, working from home can be quite stressful.

> And to all of these people I will say, go to the office if that's something you want, but don't make me go too.

Generally almost no one gives a shit if you work from home or not. The only one caring about that is your employer, and you should negotiate with your employer about that. No need to complain about everyone and everything if you can't find an employer willing to let you work remote.

I agree that the scalp collecting is horrible, but at the same time I am not sure a simple conversation can make prejudice go away that easily.

You're also right that we don't want to drive people "underground". But the head of diversity needs to have a perspective on diversity that is actually.. diverse and inclusive.

Summary please.

It's a lengthy document with quite complex language.

The impression I got from reading the introduction is it was pretty clear which way the ruling went, but some of the comments here seem to be based on the opposite so there seems to be some confusion.

So please can someone please sum it up in 1 or 2 lines?
I disagree -- it's insightful, interesting and thought-provoking to me. I find value in that, and some of the ideas/thoughts he expressed in the post. Further, it's some guy's blog post. He's not trying to Win The Internet.
Basically, when women dont have option of going to work after kids, they end up at home whether they want it or not. I mean, that is literally what it is.
Doesn't convection also require movement of the fluid? Under gravity convection works by changes in density when the fluid is heated (e.g. hot air rises). This movement of the fluid provides an extra component beyond regular conduction. The movement of the fluid transfers heat away.

In low g environments, convection due to density changes doesn't happen (hot air does not rise) which means heat pools around bodies at rest.

Edit: after reading the article a bit, i see that you were quoting a section that ends with "...(conduction and convection) cannot occur without matter." Which does make the distinction the author was making a little more less useful. However lack of convection is an issue inside the space station where fans must be installed to keep air from pooling around heat sources like lights and human bodies.

Somewhat true. There are 300M iPhone install base in China, on an equal bases you can take the 30% of App Store Revenue away to compare to Google's Play Store. But generally speaking iOS user spend double the amount of money compared to Android users.

And to the OP's number, Apple has ~25% market share. Not 20%. Those numbers are shipments, not usage. which is for the 100th times meaningless in nearly all topics.

That doesn't prevent extraction by someone with supervisor/hypervisor access (so if Elcomsoft can't extract it it's only because they are lazy), it just tries to make it less likely that an attacker can extract it from a locked machine they have physical access to (by rebooting into a boot image of their choice and reading the RAM, the so-called "cold boot" attack).

It's mathematically impossible to prevent key extraction unless you put the key in an HSM (the TPM might function as such, but it may not have good performance) and use that for decryption (the most you can do is make the key larger up to the amount of RAM you have, at the costing of wasting RAM).

Even if you use an HSM, the malware can just extract the data itself or even on-the-fly decrypt the disk with the HSM and re-encrypt with a known key and then exfiltrate the known key, so all this does is make the attack slower since you need to read/write the whole disk.

Downvoters: How exactly is having some form of diversity quotas system more fairer than merit? I would rather hire the best regardless of their background than to have a fixed set amount of candidates because of the colour of their skin. The latter is extremely discriminatory.

such a narrow view for a CEO. from what he says I take that he sees no value in a diverse workforce; he sees it only as a cost and he can't spare anything because he needs to deliver growth.

> We can’t get distracted in that mission.

he sees diversity as a distraction.

I read somewhere an interview where he says some time ago he was rejected for a job because they gave it to a diverse candidate. this is his revenge I guess.

edit: it was here https://archive.is/dMTEM

> In 2019, during an all-hands meeting at Snowflake, Slootman told the story of how early in his career he was rejected for a job he was well qualified for because the company needed to fill a quota of hiring more minorities, a former senior Snowflake employee said.
Absolutely agree! This is a really neat use of AR to me. I'm not sure how practical, but can definitely be fun.
We just ship them. Do some initial setup for them, have them boot up on the first day, start a call and make sure they can connect to everything they need, and they are off and running. When they leave, send them a box with the shipping label already all printed, so they ship it back just by putting it in the box and dropping it off at DHL/UPS/FedEx.

I have mixed feelings on the ruling. It sounds to me like a crime did occur. But the CFAA is also overly vague... Without reading the details of the case and the statue, it's hard for me to be sure what to think here.

I guess looking forward, this will force police departments and others to be more explicit in their access policies, which it sounds like here there just wasn't any?

I guess that's a win?

Maybe this person didn’t, and it is not appropriate to hold the head of diversity title.

But if they’re doing everything right, and do represent diverse workforce, then is “not having had anti-Semitic views 14 years ago” a job requirement?

>It always links to a wallet

I am Leonardo da Vinci. My wallet is ABC. Would you like to buy the Mona Lisa?

I am NYC. My wallet is CBA. Would you like to buy the Brooklyn Bridge?

The notion that a wallet is authoritative is not grounded in reality. There is no central authority. There is no registry. There is no legal correlation.

And your Octopus NFT isn't an Octopus NFT, it's an NFT with a pointer to a reference that points to an octopus. Great, now I just minted an Octopus NFT with a pointer to a reference that points to the same octopus. Now what?

But you're claiming that we need to backtrace each NFT to some wallet which somehow (even though there is no authority, by design) I guess we'll find a MySpace posting by Mark Cuban saying it was his NFT. It borders on parody.

Could Valve "mint" guns through a blockchain? Sure, they could. There is another game (an F1 game) where they do something similar for tradeables. But that is neither here nor there with the reality that NFTs as currently implemented are effectively equivalent to selling certificates offering people a plot of land on Jupiter.

I'm not sure the solution to that is "so app developers are forced to make sure their app works better in 'your' browser (Safari) because that's the only choice for a large number of users".
And yet diversity goals by definition are discriminatory. Perhaps in positions where merit isn't so important, it seems less discriminatory for some reason.

We should be extremely slow to "universally condemn" things, though. Free speech requires that universal condemnation is very difficult to reach.

The reality of a free society is that we will be confronted with ideas that differ from our own. It will often be uncomfortable. To be free is a demanding thing for a sovereign citizen.

The exact thing to not do is to claim that every situation is potentially worthy of universal condemnation and that we must figure out how every situation could potentially be worthy of universal condemnation. That's the opposite of living in a free society.

> it's impossible to "fix racism" until people stop profiting from trying to "fix racism."

Would you say that it's impossible to fix climate change until people stop profitinng from trying to fix climate change? Is it impossible to fix infant mortality while doctors profit from saving infants' lives?

There is something to what you're saying. There's a process that goes like:

1. People who dislike X want to fix X.

2. In order to put a lot of time into fixing X, they seek out work that pays them to do it.

3. In the process of that work, they build up a lot of expertise.

4. Now they have a natural incentive for X not to be fixed so that they can continue to make money from their expertise.

This is a real thing. A perverse incentive that arises basically in all cases where bad things require deep expertise to fix.

I see very little evidence that this incentive is powerful enough to dwarf the massive desire to fix X for most problems.

Most oncologists are not out there blowing cigarette smoke into people's faces to ensure their job security. Dentists are not plying kids with candy. Most people fighting against racism are not so callous as to completely undermine their own deeply held convictions just to keep themselves employed.

> in fact, it sure seems like things just get worse.

Things looking worse is often a sign of them getting better. You never saw news articles about the environment in the mid-1900s when pollution and industrialization was at its worth. It didn't become visible until people cared enough and had enough power to make it visible.

The "me too" movement isn't about sexual abuse becoming more prevalent, it's about victims finally having enough power to be able to shine a light on it. If we weren't hearing about Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, and Bill Cosby, that wouldn't mean they weren't still abusing. It would mean they were continuing to abuse with inpunity.
"Miniscule amounts" is a very confusing term in situations where even one part per million or billion matters and has a negative effect.

My question is how much upload bandwidth this needs. The article linked here mentions it in passing, but that's always been the pain point for things like this for me.
Right? This should be trivially solved with some sort of temporal filtering on detected objects. If you detect a traffic light at (x,y) in one frame, and it disappears in the next, but there's a new one at (x+dx,y+dy), then you shouldn't place a new one down in the world frame. You should only place a traffic light down if you're confident it exists and is operational. At the very least, the lights should be detected on the back of the truck, but they should move with the truck. At least that matches what's happening.

I don't understand why this is hard for Tesla engineers -- I was doing this kind of thing in grad school a decade+ ago and it worked fine. I've seen it in other demos where object classifications rapidly cycle between person, bike, car, etc. Are they not filtering anything? Is this a symptom of "AI-ing all the things"? Because we did it with bog standard computer vision techniques back then and never got behaviors like this.
> It seemed like the logic translation of collectibles from the physical world into the digital world.

Predictive Coding Can Do Exact Backpropagation on Any Neural Network
In what way does Apple do that?
> Users don’t choose an app store based on how good the processor or download is, or even on discovery, but on trust.

Yes. For instance if people could install the Steam store on their phones, gamers would do so in droves and Apple don’t want people to be given that choice.

That would cut into their ability to tax and control all commerce happening on the user’s device, which to be clear, is not Apple’s property.

The monopolistic AppStore we’re forced to use is a BS arrangement and Apple is just afraid of what real competition would bring.
"Snowflake" is the actual name of the company. I'm so used to seeing that word used as an insult that I assumed the Bloomberg author was using a sassy and editorialized headline.

When was there ever a guarantee that HW worked?

ECC memory was deprecated in consumer machines 15 years ago or more. This was a conscious industry choice that reliability in hardware could be sacrificed to other concerns. That's just an example.
This question was specifically addressed to those that have the option of avoiding it and still don’t. I was under the impression that there were several options of escaping bumper to bumper traffic on your daily commute in the New York City area.

In fact I’ve often heard people from that area complain more often about lack of parking near their commuter rail station. Which indicates that people do rather tolerate circling the parking lot in their park-and-ride rather then risking stop-and-go traffic jams.
Let's view this practice in the light of another HN truism: The traditional Big-tech hiring practice (e.g. in person whiteboarding) does a terrible job at predicting future job performance.

In light of this, let's assume for the sake of argument that in any technical hiring practice, 20% of the candidates that get through are going to underperform. Given this, it is a sensible approach to inflate headcounts by 25%, and couple this with a mandate to cull underperforming employees, allowing the org to converge on the result you'd get with a hiring process that perfectly predicts future job performance.

One group that benefits from this strategy is developers as a whole, particularly those who don't interview well. It gives more developers a spot at the company and opportunity to prove themselves.

Not to diminish the many comments about Goodhart's law. There's a lot of ways this scheme can cause more harm than good. Having per-team/per-manager quotas is also problematic, and shows an ignorance of basic statistics. Even if you know that 20% of your employees are underperforming, you shouldn't expect them to be evenly dispersed across many "two pizza" teams.
US to give ransomware similar priority to terrorist attacks
As a software engineer, I will never, ever work from an office again. There are zero reasons to.

And this isn't even related to Covid, I've been working remotely for 6 years.

Everything I do is carefully tracked. Every line of code is logged and timestamped. All my assigned tasks are viewable by anyone, with every associated line of code one click away. When I am connected to the VPN to access work resources, everything is carefully logged.

If we need to do a meeting, we use Microsoft Teams. You can chat with me whenever you want, and can schedule a video call whenever you need to.

At least with my job, a senior software engineer, there is zero need for an office.

I realize not everyone is in my position, and there are plenty of jobs that do require you to go into a physical office space. This career is not one of them.

When I read the headline I was quite confused at first, a big why why why? Then it came to me, it's a business bet on wealth concentration. Conventional first will always be far more comfortable, private far more convenient, but supersonic easily outdoes them both in bragging rights. And think of the networking opportunities when (if?) passengers are almost as packed as in coach despite paying a huge entry fee!

And the environmental aspect won't feel too bad actually: if you are traveling first you produce x times as much CO2 for your trip as others (how many more could they take aboard if that are was as densely packed as regular?), only because you are, well, too soft to sit out a few hours. But if the CO2 happens because supersonic, you get something very real in return. Time! Who could blame you?
