> Competence is a spectrum and so at some level of competence there will be people who are competent but unable to pass overly complex interview questions

Competence is most absolutely not one spectrum. Competence is measured in dozens (hundreds, really) different axis. Everyone will have different scores (if we could realiably narrow it to a score, which we can't) on different axis of skills. Which of the skill axis are most relevant for any given role will vary, obviously. A generalist will have decent scores in many, a specialist may have mediocre scores in many but 99+percentile in their chosen areas.

Leetcode interviewing measures along one single uninteresting axis, the one corresponding to memorization of algorithm puzzles. That axis happens to be entirely irrelevant to any job I've ever hired for. So I don't test for that because I care as much for your skill doing leetcode as I care for your skill juggling frogs. Neither is relevant to the job.

In practice there are three possible outcomes for resolving differences between large groups of people.

1) Some negotiated middle between viewpoints

2) Some converged position based on a winning argument.

3) War

If viewpoints remain diverged for a sufficiently long period, 3 is almost inevitable. Understanding the different sides helps lead to either 1 or 2.

My ask with family members who are on the other side of recent issues has always been to broaden their news/media consumption. Reading the other sides media has given me insight into why they feel the way they feel, even if I don't believe the feeling is valid.
This is the part that interests me. I always thought that the primary reason that Canada and the US has protections against self-incrimination was not some moral stance but because it is effectively impossible to prove that someone can incriminate themselves. With our current technology "I can't remember" is basically impossible to disprove.

IIUC The way this works in the UK and is being proposed here for Ireland is guilty until proven innocent. You need to prove that you don't know something, which is equally impossible.

Of course court rarely "proves" things. It is more aimed at "beyond a reasonable doubt" which does allow some chance for proving both ways. But I don't think that makes much difference to the fundamental issue.

This point of view also cleanly solves the "unlock the phone" debate. They can't make you type your password because they can't prove that you know the password, but they can make you touch the fingerprint reader because whether or not your fingerprint unlocks the phone is something that can be tested.

Of course the question of morality is important. Especially as we are sprinting towards a future where we have more and more visibility into people's brains. It would be nice to answer this question, and with the current direction that governments are moving it seems like the answer is going to be that accessing a suspect's mind is acceptable, which I have very mixed feelings about.
Perhaps I misinterpreted this part?

> But in practice "centrist" news sources are far more likely to present multiple points of view

No, in practice less strongly biased sources are more likely to present multiple points of view. Now, the same amount of variation can seem more diverse when you tend to bucket things into “left/right” binary categories, if the center of variation is near the point where you draw the line between buckets.

But that's an artifact of forcing things into binary buckets making a centrist outlet providing center-left to center-right views look more diverse than a right-wing publication providing center-right to far-right views.
The Diverge was on my shortlist when I got the Topstone. At the time (2019), I think the Diverge defaulted to skinnier smoother tires. Can’t remember which tires specifically.

The Topstone shipped with some pretty knobby WTBs that definitely had an impact on rolling resistance. If your tires are knobby/optimized for off-road, putting a slicker tire (the GK slicks are quite popular for good reason), I suspect you’ll notice quite a difference, but I’d look more at the knobbiness than the fatness if you’re considering a change.

Also worth noting that some knobby tires have a hard line down the middle that keeps resistance minimal until you start to turn, at which point you hit the high traction portion of the tire. Takeaway: even if it looks knobby, it might not be as slow as it looks.

32mm+ is already getting into “fat” territory for a road bike, and for me personally, 38mm seems to be my sweet spot.
I've seen a few clips, they have been pretty bad but with kernel of truths that make it hard to make substantive arguments against whatever he is ranting on. I personally think he's a big stain on news media, even while agreeing with a few points here/there there.

For what it's worth, I've only watched in order to try and understand other people's viewpoints.

More specifically, I think he's terrible because he has mastered the ability to tease out the base instincts of people with his messaging, which makes it hard to either agree or disagree with his statements with logic. He can point to some kernels of truth, and you are left with people saying things like "that's just dogwhistling" when attacking his viewpoints. In other words, he riles up, doesn't cause people to think critically, and overall lowers the level of discourse out there.
>...I don't understand this fetishism with centrism and all opinions being treated equally,

Let's be honest here, the direction of this thread, and people most enthused about the linked article are people who are sympathetic to right-wing ideologies. Currently, because of demographic trends, the right-wing is scared that their ideas will be run out of the marketplace of ideas. The only way to prevent that is to 1. Embrace enlightened centrism, and 2. Complain that their opinions aren't being treated "equally".
Interesting thread. I thought everyone was clinging. How would you prepare if you had the rest of the summer?
Thanks for these questions.
(1) The cases under rule #2 are a mixture of proclitics and common words (such as the two conjunctions and the adverb ou). Most proclitics (including most prepositions, and most forms of the definite article) in fact do keep their accent, so a general rule can't be given. Since enclitics do follow set rules, which are much more complex than simply not having an accent, they are given their proper treatment separately in the last (and most tricky) of the rules!

(2) Analysis by morae, whereby a short syllable counts as one mora, and a long syllable as two, generally allows the rule that an acute cannot go back more than four morae, and a circumflex more than three morae - but you still have to deal with the fact that, as you say, a final long restricts an acute to three morae from the end, and face the exception given in n.13. So we decided to avoid it entirely!

The Pathfinder tires that come stock on recent Diverges are pretty widely regarded as not just the worst part of the bike, but a sort of bafflingly bad choice because they aren't even cheap. If you're looking to spend some money upgrading your bike, they're a good place to start.

I view the GRU stealing private data and using Wikileaks to coordinate releasing for the purpose of sowing discord and possibly to help Trump win the election as disinfo.

> After the Soviet term became widely known in the 1980s, native speakers of English broadened the term as "any government communication (either overt or covert) containing intentionally false and misleading material, often combined selectively with true information, which seeks to mislead and manipulate either elites or a mass audience."[3]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disinformation

- March 16: Internal WikiLeaks messages indicate the purpose of the archive is to annoy Clinton and establish WikiLeaks as a "resource/player" in the election.[29]:44–45

- June 14: The GRU uses its @dcleaks_ persona to reach out to WikiLeaks and offer to coordinate the release of sensitive information about Clinton, including financial documents.[353][29]:45

- June 22: WikiLeaks reaches out to "Guccifer 2.0" via Twitter. They ask "Guccifer 2.0" to send them material because it will have a bigger impact if they publish it. They also specifically ask for material on Clinton they can publish before the convention.[256]

I'm not saying Assange is guilty of any crimes, or doctored evidence. But Wikileaks had an agenda beyond "the facts".

Because the center has to be qualitatively different from the others in order to escape the cycle of critique presented in the original argument.

Otherwise, why is critique of the center different from attacking the left or the right? Why would attacking the center be the "craziest narrative"?

The OP's post has a hidden premise, otherwise it does not lead to his conclusion.
No data other than anecdotal but totally agree. I use flats on my road bike and look like an idiot but I go just as fast. I prefer to be able to wear normal shoes so I have less to carry. The whole "you can push while you pull" thing makes no sense, my quads are way more powerful than my hamstrings and you never need that much force when pedalling anyway, cardio fitness is always the limiting factor for me, not leg strength/power.
I completely believe you, but the issue is likely not width per se.

Might it be that your tires have a smooth profile down the middle for going in a straight line, but edges that have a more aggressive tread pattern, which engages the road surface when you tilt into a turn?

There are true fat road slicks that have the same smooth profile all over.

I think, tire pressure is also a factor in turning because of the way the tire deforms on the rim. If you have the pressure way down (which you can easily get away with in 2.5 inches), that could be a factor.
You could get a separate induction wok burner.

My wife and I work for smaller firms. Both of our managers seem okay with it provided we keep American-ish hours.

Free speech as a sacred right means you have the absolute right to put yourself anywhere you want on the political spectrum, but that doesn't mean that one isn't right and the other side is wrong. I also think that "centrist" is a pretty meaningless term. I prefer to think of myself as more of an empiricist. I like policy that follows evidence. 90% of the time that's liberal policy. Roughly 0% of the time is that conservative policy. There's some rallying cries like $15 min wage or forgiving student loan debt that seem like foolish hills to die on, but universal healthcare, equal rights, voting rights, progressive taxation and aggressive action on climate are so blindingly obvious that anyone who questions them is wrong in my book. You have right to be wrong, but you're wrong. Saying that you oppose the poles because they are "cesspools" strongly implies you don't like the loudest proponents and aren't considering the validity of their policy.

It doesn’t match my experience at all. I have a road bike and a gravel bike - same quality range (gravel slightly higher). At low speeds, that may be true - the difference is negligible. But at higher speeds / power outputs, the road bike beats the gravel hands down - by a significant margin (big enough to be felt, without a power meter)

Solar in large scale will be fun. Essentially at peak production it will have zero price or potentially negative price... And then during night you need to generate it from somewhere and pay premium... I wonder would it be actually cheaper soon not to have solar and just get it for free during day and then pay same during dark times...

I recall this period as well (early to mid 2000s) and the fears of overseas workers led me to change my college major at the time. There was also still a big hangover effect from the 2000 dot com bubble. I remember seeing low developer salaries and, although I at least somewhat enjoyed coding and tinkering around with technical things, there were other pursuits I enjoyed more. I kind of regret not sticking with computer science but my career has turned out fairly well (although I think I would have optimized my income faster if I had stayed a computer science major).

Ah, that's fair. Wikileaks' twitter account played much faster and looser than what they published on their website.

I'm curious if we'll ever get an accounting of the internal organizational power struggles that occurred during the 2016 election. It felt like Assange and his proxies were seeking vengeance through Twitter (to be fair, its claimed Hillary Clinton joked "Can't we just drone this guy" about Assange - no lack of bad blood between them), but that somehow never seemed to bleed onto the Wikileaks website itself.
Is there some more modern version of this?

Looking back, it's very easy for me to blame the US education system, which seems to make it very easy for slightly intelligent people to avoid a lot of work. I feel like I learned really bad work habits early on and am cursed with a flawed brain now. I almost envy countries that focus on almost militaristic rote practice. For some of my foreign educated colleagues, there is little in the way between wanting to accomplish something and accomplishing it.

Still, I have also found the quality of leadership really determines my productivity. When working independently, and there are 100 different objectives I could work on, it's very logical for my brain to say none of them are important. I have come to appreciate how helpful it is to have a decent boss who can laser focus on objectives in a way that help me line up my work.
I got my Cannondale CAADX in 2015 right before the gravel hype started. I've put WTB Riddler 37 on it and it's close to a gravel bike but a bit more direct and maneuverable - I love it.

After Cannondale's manufacturing error put me in the hospital for a night followed by a broad recall of a lot of their carbon fiber forks and they new minimalist logo I'm just not a fan of Cannondale anymore. But the Topstone is a great bike!
Snake bite flats are precisely from low pressure. The term comes from two punctures that come from the rim pinching the tire, which is due to inadequate pressure to absorb an impact.

Rock hard tire inflations are prone to failure from the pressure itself.
