It wasn't rushed enough. A basic HTML form with appropriate labels is perfectly accessible and super easy to write.

It's custom controls and using JavaScript to make everything interactive that screws up accessibility, not just for blind users, but keyboard users too.

> In terms of discussions over beer, many companies successfully create taboos around comp. Larger cultures that are squeamish about talking about money, which includes many of those prevalent in the US, make that even easier for those companies.

<-- US-based. In every salaried position I've held, discussing salary with coworkers was very taboo. At the second place I worked, on my first day on the job, the head of the department pulled me into his office before I even met with my team (aside from the two I'd met in the interview) and told me that I should be aware that "here at $COMPANY, it's against policy to openly discuss salaries with coworkers." Then he winked and said, "we wouldn't want to have to lower you to the standard rate."

I was too shocked to do anything except chuckle awkwardly, nod, and leave. I was a pretty junior dev- if my salary was above their standard rate, I feel badly for anyone who'd been there longer. Though I'm sure it was a joke to lighten the encounter, keeping salaries down by discouraging discussion about compensation is a very real thing.
Your reasoning is sound, but I believe it’s untenable in public discourse (for various reasons).
"HTML, by default, is accessible" is at best a massive oversimplification. Arranging react elements in a certain way can break them. If you're writing out <div>s and tables like it's 1999 then sure, I'll take your word that this usually works with screen readers. But it's not 1999 anymore. It's a non-trivial task to make a modern website accessible to screen readers. My past workplaces had dedicated accessibility teams ensuring that the site and mobile apps were usable with a screen reader.

The point is that "websites are accessible to the vision impaired by default and it takes extra work to render them inaccessible" drastically trivializes the work it takes to make a moderately complex web accessible. And it falsely accuses those who don't have the resources to do this of deliberately making the site inaccessible.
What Do You Know About Type?
It’s not clear what the requirements are for being accepted. I’m assuming each candidate is vetted before they get help. For example, is this targeted at software engineers, or any type of professional? What’s the price of the service? If a software engineer applies, are only certain levels accepted, ie senior engineers or those with some minimum years of experience? Do you work with junior engineers?

It sounds like an awesome service but I find that a lot of these types of companies seem to only target people who already have lots of leverage when seeking new roles (Outco, Triplebyte, Hired, Arc Elevate, etc).

All of this seems a bit dubious to me considering your previous description of having simply scraped and mass-emailed all the hiring managers on Crunchbase, and Apple employees don't (I don't think) tend to use icloud email addresses that they're comfortable publishing as a point of contact for a testimonial.

Is this just a funnel into that process or have you done something differently?
If you have children or nephews and nieces I’m sure they will benefit from the effort you are putting in, as well as the benefit you receive.

I remember being very impressed when reading a biography somewhere online of Alexander Grothendeick, that it was a family tradition to keep biographies on ancestors, so he had this knowledge as well. I know very little of my great grandparents, and nothing beyond them, which I am sure is common in the United States.
I have a mental disability which tends to make me excessively verbose and to expect me to never communicate naturally would also create an inequity.

You forgot inequity for children and for ESL people as well who also have trouble following complex texts. I sometimes go out of my way to rephrase or edit what I say to be more accessible.

Inequity can only be eliminated by killing literally everybody on the planet, after which we're all equal because we're all dead. Equity as an ultimate moral good is utterly and totally moronic. This doesn't mean the concept of "equity" doesn't have merits as a sort of heuristic for what we should strive for. In this case, increasing the number of people able to be vaccinated for the collective good of the community and reducing the sense of exclusion that disabled people feel as well as helping them avoid death. Sort of a win/win really.

> If that's higher than the cost to buy an existing Bitcoin, you'd do the latter. So the cost of mining (in electricity-dollars) sets a floor on the price of Bitcoin.

You are describing production cost. Not intrinsic value. Once someone decides to buy a Bitcoin, the build or buy decision is as you describe. But that demand is what causes the value. Not the production cost.

As I understand it, Tor does have a way of detecting whether an exit node is failing to connect users to their intended destination. (With TLS enforced, the only thing a malicious exit node could do is prevent valid connections).

In any case, I don't think anyone is proposing that the attestation nodes be run by random anonymous people on the internet. It would make more sense to have half a dozen or so teams running these nodes, with each team being known and trusted by the distro in question.

I'm not sure what the costs/requirements would be for running one of these nodes, but it might be possible for distros to each run a node dedicated to building each other's distros (or at least the packages that are pushed as security updates to stable releases).

Alternatively, individual developers that already work on a distro can offer to build packages on their own machines and contribute signed hashes to a log maintained by the distro itself.
I'd push back against that interpretation of the developer's design choices. Kerbal's use of patched conic approximations greatly lowers the difficulty of the game (it is a game) for most players; it enables a simple and coherent UI/UX; and it guarantees fixed orbits that make difficult in-space rendezvous like the Apollo program's accessible. Like Minecraft cubes, it creates a reliable foundation of simple abstractions that people can reason about, and build complicated strategies on top of. (Wouldn't Minecraft be unplayable if instead of cubes, it was arbitrary user-defined convex polyhedra? It's like that).

Upping the realism lowers the playability: games and simulators are subtly different things. Otherwise we'd all be playing STK/Astrogator instead of Kerbal, and AutoCAD instead of Minecraft, and sitting in city hall basements debugging spreadsheets in place of Cities: Skylines. The type of limitations that distinguish games from serious simulators are not accidents and not laziness, but deliberate design choices.

I concede this makes certain interesting topics like Lagrange points / halo orbits, masscons, and orbital precession inaccessible. That's part of the tradeoff.

I worked at Amazon India (Retail, not AWS) for about two years straight out of college and experienced pretty much none of the issues described in OP (maybe with the exception of the delayed vesting*) I had the opportunity to work with some pretty smart people (whom I'm still in touch with), on great projects, with manageable oncall, and a good manager who didn't micromanage. In my time there, not a single person in my 40-50+ org was fired. If anything, the problem at Amazon India is that there are too few senior engineers, as most leave for better opportunities in Seattle or at other companies (since better/more important teams and projects tend to be located in Seattle.)

Actually I would. If I can stay out here in the burbs and work is just a 10 minute drive or bus ride from the school/home. But I hate city life so I have to live so far that the commute sucks.

I totally get the offshoring thing tho. The only thing remotely (no pun intended) 'preventing' that is timezones. But once you offshore _all_ the jobs, timezone are much less of a problem. I hope they still would be enough of a problem that we can have the cake and eat it too.

Dude. I just submitted two patents. Patents are the only way a small company can get an edge.

And yes, there is more than software and IT in this world. Good luck to raise non IT capital in tech without patents.
You do when it does that/respects it which isn’t always. The point is that you have more layers. If you’re trying to be as direct as possible, more layers is unhelpful.

Since you get most of the same advantages management wise with lvm while using the block interface (including snapshots, resizing, and all the other management goodies), you’re not exactly getting much extra functionality either.
> Historical levels are irrelevant

Yeah, no. The west industrialized by polluting the world, and it still reaping its benefits at the expense of the rest of the world. Historical emissions are absolutely relevant because they affect the present. Nice try though.

> Only present and future levels matter.

Yes. But present levels are high because of the historical emissions of the west. And presently the west is using way more than their allocated CO2 footprint.

The people most capable of changing schools are the boardmembers and well funded unions. Private schools are simply the best alternative right now.

If you ban private schools, people will “group homeschool”. If you ban homeschooling, parents can pack cigarettes in their kid’s lunch sack until they are sent to continuation school where attendance isn’t required. Then the child is free to attend a “group tutoring academy”.

The solution is to make public education easier to reform by the members of the community.

Reproducibility means you don't have to worry that the developer might have a backdoored toolchain (which also means that they can't pretend that a malicious toolchain added the malicious code without their knowledge).

A talented developer might still be able to create a bugdoor which gets past code review, but that takes more effort and skill than just putting the malicious code into a local checkout and then saying "How did that get there?".
Distributed is fine. Remote too. But what's wrong with lots of towns in the 50-100k inhabitants range? If you have multiple employees maybe even a whole team of 10-20 in that town then commutes would be good enough to warrant a small co-working type space that would make use of in person benefits while not incurring commute or living arrangement sacrifices.

I have felt the effect between our two cars, but I think it's for another reason. I enjoy driving the older car because it is lighter, it responds, and I feel less shut off. The newer car is heavier, is sluggish (but far more powerful at speed), but feels enclosed. There is a disconnect between me inside the rolling box and the rest of the world. There is less highway noise, and the outside world feels "over there". It's easier to go fast without realising.
at that point just use a RAM disk and periodically write that data to physical disk or SSD. no extreme tradeoff required, because RAM disks are WAY faster than SSDs.

Research isn’t sufficient yet, largely due to lack of random data, but saunas appear to be very good for people. At least, those who are healthy enough to use them already.

There’s no data I know of showing that healthy people shouldn’t use them. There is data showing that people with a sauna habit typically live healthier lives. The tricky part is, do healthier people develop the habit, or does the habit make them healthy?

Reubens' comedy is a little more subversive. Letterman had it right:

I think it's different because the embedded systems clients are usually not as deadline driven as the movie industry are. You have deliverables basically every week that you need to show to the client for approval, and, if not good enough, then re-iterate.

Embedded systems usually the scope doesn't change nearly as much after the SoW, where movie is very creative/subjective and it can change every single week.

> but we are not talking about historic levels, we are talking about current and future levels

That's the problem. We need to talk about it. The west is causing a disproportionate amount of emissions despite the climate emergency, and still their citizens are blissfully unaware and ignorant. That's obviously unfair so justice is relevant here. Talking educates people and allows them to do something about it.

Yes it's going to be an issue, but nothing can be done about it. For poor countries like India, industrialization with climate consequences is still way better than poverty!
Love the creativity! That said, the moon stabilized earth’s rotation angle, giving us the seasons, and it also drives huge chunks of life ecosystems and weather with the tides.
