Well, there's abundant effort already going on to shift away from fossil fuels, as you are surely aware.

I haven't advocated for 100% of cars being electric; you appear to have me confused with someone else. You keep repeating this in every comment (to me and others) and try to hang responsibility for it on other people. It's sufficient to say you don't agree with the policy goal of the Indian government, rather than projecting it onto everyone you interact with.
For context (especially since all of Jim's posts are, guessing, gone from YouTube for the time being), Jim Browning is an impressive 'white hat hacker' (not sure he'd use that term himself) who spies on, stymies, and exposes intricate scam operations. In addition to reversing connections to those who attempt to remote-desktop scam him, his escapades include collaborating with local authorities, accessing CCTV networks of offices where scams are run, and intercepting scams that are currently being carried out on unwitting, scared citizens.

The sad fact is that a lot of software is difficult to compile; isn't documented well, something that is worse for building; won't work well if installed in a non-standard way, whether that is final location, different supporting libs, or different platform; and can take a long time.

I'm happy nowadays when I see there's a binary available, no mucking around with gcc/clang/llvm - just trying to work out which one, let alone which version! - no diving down a rabbit hole of compiling dependencies that then need other dependencies compiled… no deciphering Makefiles that were written in a way that only a C guru can grok, with no comments.

Whatever the benefits are, I prefer sanity.
Abstract:

"We study the results of a massive nationwide correspondence experiment sending more than 83,000 fictitious applications with randomized characteristics to geographically dispersed jobs posted by 108 of the largest U.S. employers.

Distinctively Black names reduce the probability of employer contact by 2.1 percentage points relative to distinctively white names. The magnitude of this racial gap in contact rates differs substantially across firms, exhibiting a between-company standard deviation of 1.9 percentage points.

Despite an insignificant average gap in contact rates between male and female applicants, we find a between-company standard deviation in gender contact gaps of 2.7 percentage points, revealing that some firms favor male applicants while others favor women.

Company-specific racial contact gaps are temporally and spatially persistent, and negatively correlated with firm profitability, federal contractor status, and a measure of recruiting centralization. Discrimination exhibits little geographical dispersion, but two digit industry explains roughly half of the cross-firm variation in both racial and gender contact gaps. Contact gaps are highly concentrated in particular companies, with firms in the top quintile of racial discrimination responsible for nearly half of lost contacts to Black applicants in the experiment.

Controlling false discovery rates to the 5% level, 23 individual companies are found to discriminate against Black applicants. [See Appendix] Our findings establish that systemic illegal discrimination is concentrated among a select set of large employers, many of which can be identified with high confidence using large scale inference methods."

>I have a personal philosophy: "if you can't do it well, don't do it at all". That's because I prize my ability at what I do. I am good at it.

You'd think you don't have to teach people that, but here we are.

You're trying too hard. It's embarrassing.

> who have cancer either stop drinking or become heavy drinker

Is there any evidence for this? It doesn't match my experience at all.
You can, and you'll also end up with a gerontocracy. I see you don't address the sacrifice question so I guess that means there isn't any such thing. Perhaps that will change in the future.
This semester I had the opportunity to work with a classmate with Asperger's syndrome.
It has been a very bad experience to say the least. In meetings he screams and berates us, gets very angry and easily frustrated when things are not done the way he wants to do them, even when the rest of the group has unanimously decided to do them a certain way. One time he started watching a video in the middle of the meeting and screamed at us to shut up every time we tried to talk because he couldn't listen to his video.

My university or department has had absolutely no contact with me or any member of my group to guide us on how to work with a neurodivergent classmate, on how to make the group and project work. It has been a very tiring experience. Can anybody give me any advice on how to try to better the situation? How to make the environment better for him and my group?

> It makes 0 sense since there's too much volatility plus it's open to manipulation by outsiders.

It makes 0 sense only if you assume that they will hodl the coins, which makes no sense if you're using it exclusively to settle a transaction.

You don't need to be expose to the crypto volatility to accept it as a payment method, in fact I don't see any risk involved as long as you find a way to immediately convert your crypto to the fiat currency of your choice.
Fair point, but I don't think you can _read_ the contents of the system clipboard, can you? I thought you could set it but had to wait for a paste event to read it.

And you believe there is a computer program that can bypass that and somehow address your customers' problems without having to expend the effort

If you want to make a business decision to treat your customers poorly and calculate that attrition will be below the cost savings, fine, you can probably do that without a chatbot at just make a longer support queue. But don't pretend you're doing anything for your customers.

Edit: dont believe me, look at the metrics you get from vendors: "deflection" or whatever they call it, how often can you prevent someone from getting real support from a person. Don't kid yourself, chatbots are just a bad guardian of an FAQ. Intent resolution is not the same as helping solve someone's problem.

Also, blaming your shitty customer service on Covid... I guess it's not surprising you care about your customers so little that you'd rather tangle them up with a computer program than actually try and help them. I'm assuming you're relatively senior, it's hard to imagine someone lower level being so out of touch. If so, please at least consider, the reason I'm spending time replying is that vendors are out to trick you into thinking there is technology that can help your customers. It can't, you are being swindled and your customers are being treated like shit. Don't buy chatbot software, dont make covid excuses, do what it takes to support the people buying from you.
The rich just don't like to pay taxes.

Warren Buffet, who gives away a ton of money, famously has been revealed to pay little.

John Kerry, mega-wealthy politician, parks his yacht across state lines to avoid paying state taxes.

Bill Clinton donated his used underwear to charity and took as much as $15 a pair for them. In 1988 dollars!

Of course there are plenty of other rich people who pay next to zilch. It's going to be hard to stop them.

*cannabis use disorder*

not *cannabis use*.

Cannabis use disorder is an addiction to canabis, that's a clinical condition. Not every one who uses cannabis is addicted to it.

According to [2]
>"...
Cannabis use disorders are often associated with dependence—in which a person feels withdrawal symptoms when not taking the drug. People who use marijuana often report irritability, mood and sleep difficulties, decreased appetite, cravings, restlessness, and/or various forms of physical discomfort that peak within the first week after quitting and last up to two weeks

Conclusions and Relevance

The results from these longitudinal analyses show the proportion of cases of schizophrenia associated with cannabis use disorder has increased 3- to 4-fold during the past 2 decades, which is expected given previously described increases in the use and potency of cannabis.

This finding has important ramifications regarding legalization and control of use of cannabis.

This response is simply goal post shifting. Censorship is censorship.

Using a recent example: YouTube removes a video of medical Doctors promoting studies of a COVID treatment, one that could save lives. There’s science to back it up, however it’s not science promoted by the medical majority. Thus, it is censored. As a result, people don’t have access to a potentially life saving treatment and will die - this is censorship.

Are there worse examples of this concept happening over the past century? Yes, of course. But censorship leading to the deaths of millions is certainly bad.
You're not "happily paying the price". That assumes you've had to go through the genious bar destroying your monitor, or losing all your data, or having to buy a whole new macbook because a $1 component died and Apple prevents it from being replaced.

Again, it's just advocating against yourself. Nobody cares until it happens to them, and then they wonder how things have gotten this bad.
I disagree about "usually." I would say it is very common now for the login controls to be in the sidebar and visible wherever. Not to mention how many things you would care about compromising are single-page apps or at least very rich apps that might just use a popover.
It could.. it all depends how the redirects are set up.

You can use 301/308 redirect for either new page/path or new domain, or both. It's pretty flexible. If you're interested to learn more, Google has a pretty good "best practices" page at https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/crawling/...
You're right that Go has those flaws, and it would be nicer if they didn't exist. However, in practice Go is still far, far safer than C and C++. Use after free etc. are far easier to exploit than Go's races.

If you can write in 100% safe Rust, Swift, C#, Java, etc. - and not use any of the unsafe escape hatches they provide at all - that would be best. But using some small amount of unsafety in any of those languages, or using Go, would still be a huge improvement over the typical C or C++ codebase.
Ahh cool, I see! All good, was curious if there was some new special technique maybe I hadn't heard about, haha :)
Amazon Coin isn't a cryptocurrency, so it seems irrelevant to the conversation.
I get it, that manager of yours has lots of meetings to go to or hold himself. Being in the same spot (tho "IT Manager" is not my title and I hope it never will be lol) I do understand how it gets to be this way. I have weeks where I only get to code 0 hours. Others I code for maybe a day total across the whole week or maybe 2. It comes and goes. When we on boarded 3 new guys on the team in the same weeks for example I got to not code at all for a few weeks as I'd rather unblock each of them, answer their questions etc. That's OK by me. I was able to do that because I do code myself still, I know our systems etc. and the regular 1:1s we gotta do (which are important as well) are mixed in with this as well and become actual "meetings" in WFH situations instead of "accidentally bumping into them at the coffee machine".

Now as for IC developers only coding a single hour in a week, there's something very wrong indeed if you ask me.

I'm thinking "The Office" here. If you don't mind my asking what kinds of meetings did they invent for ICs to attend for 39 hours a week?
> Has there ever been an example of that failing in history?

Zune, Windows Phone, Betamax, HD-DVD - maybe not perfect analogies, but there are lots of examples of people throwing lots of money at something to try to force widespread adoption and failing because the market doesn’t want it.
Pretty likely trans women make less than cis women.[1] Pretty unlikely the source data gendered trans people consistently. And pretty likely rounding affected the number more. Under 1% of people are trans.

You seem to assume trans women make more than cis women. Wage data is collected by gender.
Just pip install again under new interpreter. Use distro versions if a script will primarily run there, and ok if an older version.
This isn't really surprising - this sort of thing has been shown for quite a while as the citations showed. I had a friend who happened to be Black and has a very "Black" sounding name tell me that he actually took away his photo on LinkedIn and changed his name and got way more recruiters contacting him (though I've also had similar things said by non-Blacks, so IDK).

I actually did not believe him since he's also in the tech industry and didn't think such things would happen for Software Engineers - alas the table at the end (Figure 9) shows a small difference.

I wonder why the food product industry has such a huge difference.
The mental health implications are also difficult to quantify.

I would also guess most people who develop alcohol addiction did not understand their risk factors when they first started drinking.
Wow, this is shocking that the scammers out-scammed Jim Browning, a well-known YouTuber fighting cyber-scams. I hope the channel is restored as soon as possible! I wonder what recourses are available when you delete a YouTube channel yourself...
Right, to be similar efficiency as Globalflyer without improvements to aerodynamics (which is possible), you’d need to restrict flight speeds to roughly Mach 0.5 like passenger commercial turboprop aircraft (instead of 0.7-0.8 for commercial jets). A turboprop Dash-8 (although aging) with up to 90 passenger seats (~same as the original 737) is relatively competitive for short haul, so I wouldn’t consider that lower speed to be a showstopper. Dash-8 is, after all, a commercial airliner in common use.

But the SCALE of the aircraft is basically irrelevant when discussing fundamental figures of merit like mass-specific energy. In spite of repeating your concern several times, I’m not sure what you think scale has to do with figures of merit that are explicitly scale-less (Wh/kg).
> alcohol use is positively correlated with the tendency to see friends socially

Is there evidence for this, or is this just a gut feeling? I don't see my non-drinking friends less than my drinking ones. I had plenty of college friends who didn't drink and took great pleasure in messing with their inebriated classmates.

Just look it up? I think it was part of many press questions regarding the truck, including Car & Driver. https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a36481590/ford-f150-lightn...

"Applying these results to the F-150 means that towing a modest trailer would put the highway range at roughly 100 to 125 miles, depending on the pack. Towing anywhere near the 10,000-pound maximum rating on XLT and Lariat models (with the maximum trailer tow package and extended-range battery) at highway speeds, we believe you'd be hard pressed to exceed double-digit miles."

https://www.latimes.com/local/california/la-me-adv-asian-rac...

And the way it is done is through "holistic review" process, see:
https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2013/12/the-fa...

Excerpt: From colleges’ perspective, “holistic” is just shorthand for, we make the decisions we make, and would rather not be asked to spell out each one. It’s a way for schools to discreetly take various sensitive factors—“overrepresented” minorities, or students whose families might donate a gym—into account.
There is a reason Fed and central banks exists. Governments just have to ban the transaction of crypto to any hard currencies and there goes the 2x in 5 years. The works to ban are now in the works and will be rolled out within that time frame. Good luck holding it for 2x. It will have values, but not for mass consumers markets. It is a musical chairs except the last one won't really get the chair to sit but more like a spiky seat.
I guess my feeling is that doing something like this when your machine is already compromised is a little like putting your key under the welcome mat instead of leaving it plainly visible. Perhaps for the very incurious attacker they won't get around it but it's not much effort to find.

You've got some valid points there.

I'll say this for Toyota-- I've owned a Prius and 3 Lexus, all bought used. Those cars simply don't wear out. I'm sold on the idea of Toyota quality.

So if they're behind, I hope the catch up quickly. I want to buy an electric car, but I want one that lasts like a Toyota.
I’d find it hard not to moderate: drinking every day makes me feel like shit and puts me off alcohol.

But fuck the UK drinking culture I remember a 16 year old laughing at going to the US and someone thinking a litre pitcher of beer was a lot and one was enough. Terms like “lightweight” and “what’s wrong with you” if you drink water between vodkas and beers.

I'd recommend writing down questions that the recruiter asks and then preparing for them for future interviews. Even at a more senior level, the initial chat questions are the same. You shouldn't memorize lines, but it sucks when you get caught by another, "What's your biggest weakness?"
There's a truly stupendous amount of generalization going on in this thread, is there any evidence for this?
I struggle with this sort of case. I guess it’s the difference between some random half rate web developer and a major corporation. Like if random web guy says he won’t build websites for gay people..no harm done other than an asshole being an asshole. But if, say, Amazon said they’d stop letting gay people buy things from Amazon.com it would be a much larger scope and I’d be much more angry. On the face of it, I guess that’s pretty irrational thought on my part. But I just know that if I personally went to get a website built and the dev said no I personally don’t think that middle aged men with beards and receding hairlines should be allowed to have websites I’d just call them an asshole and move on with my day. And yet I’d probably try to make a huge deal if it was Amazon. Like I said..I know it’s irrational. But I feel like it’s one of those “scale” things to me. Like how Twitter can be seen as censoring free speech but I personally can’t, because they’re essentially a public forum (thanks previous hn commenters for pointing that out to me in the past)

This is one thing where I see Rust (and probably Zig) making headway. A lot of the newer Rust software isn't in package repos yet, but I don't mind doing a Cargo build. It might take a while to compile, but it always seems to just work.
In the main body of the paper they say "We find that distinctively Black names reduce the likelihood of employer contact relative to distinctively white names by 2.1 percentage points, an effect equal to 9% of the Black mean contact rate".

I think we take that to mean that it's an absolute 2.1% reduction, and if it's also 9% relative reduction, then that would have black applicants getting a response 23.3% of the time, and white applicants 25.4%.

It's possible that they do last longer, but the track record is not there yet. There are a lot of Toyota vehicles with over 1M miles, you can look up high mileage Toyotas for sale. That does not yet exist with Teslas. I have heard (not first hand) of Tesla having some quality problems, so immediately jumping to the conclusion that they are future proof seems like a mistake.

> Electricity moves through a network

I know. We haven't interconnected the entire planet. So it still depends on what region we are talking about. Even inside a country some regions might be barely connected (see the Texas power grid).

> might cause a coal power station to be started in Poland

It also might cause a natural gas station to be started up. Again, that depends on the location. Usually it would cause a natural gas power plant to start up. It could also be pumped storage hydro, or even batteries.

Since you are talking about lack of knowledge, it's useful to point out that coal is very unlikely to be used as a peaker plant, just like we don't start nuclear power stations for the same purpose. Generally they are used for baseline power.

We aren't going to be starting coal plants because France is using more power. Some countries might decide to build more though, to account for the predicted energy usage growth.
It's 2.1 percentage points which they say is about a 9% difference.
