I never get these articles. The writer always seems to take a super long and complicated path to the solution. Who has time for all this.

Happy for this release, and excited to contribute to this great query engine.
When you're a minority in any space, it's dangerous to speak about about ways that you are discriminated against. People think that you are trying to come up with excuses for not delivering value. And then you start being treated like a token. Nobody wants that

Even if people don't say that/think that, you yourself want to prove yourself on merits - isn't that the best way to find racism/sexism/ism? Show that it would be ridiculous to be discriminated against.

My experience with women engineers is that most want to dedicate their time to first earning their credibility and only THEN get involved in any D&I efforts.

That's why it's unfair to ask women to be the advocates for gender parity, to ask black people to advocate for more inclusive racial language, etc. The most meaningful change comes from within, from people who DON'T have skin in the game.

Yes, mistakes can happen: See the whole LatinX debaucle, which Latino/a people think is idiotic. But it doesn't negate the responsibility of white people to help fix past injustices.

Lastly, the bar for fixing past injustices isn't "is the term so offensive that it should be changed in every context". It's "Is the term offensive enough that it wouldn't be INTRODUCED today?". Yes, this requires more effort. But that's the only way to fix injustice - it's not to stop from now on, it's also go back and fix past problems.

Good article, thanks.

I just listened to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6wuzm8p16M - The Rangers deployed to find Marcus Luttrell | Tony Brooks, Ranger | Ep. 107

Tony says Rangers are notorious for going out on missions without a safe amount of water or food. He said they nearly took casualties on that rescue mission due to dehydration, and that if he did it again he'd take less ammo and more water.

Also, see Aaron Ralston, the guy who disappeared for a week because he got his arm stuck under a rock in a slot canyon. He says his biggest mistake was not going out alone, but rather neglecting to tell anyone else about his plans and schedule. This kind of thing is super common among experienced outdoorsmen and women.
Customers put trust in us to run the front end, but the verification layer of the blockchain is still maintained by a distributed consensus and we won't be able to tamper withthat. So there is still a small amount of trust with DigiBuild, but much less than any normal database....If DigiBuild died tomorrow, customers would lose the front end functionality but still have the previous data and protections around that data in place on the blockchain and they could interact with it via a block explorer. In the future we will look to fully decentralize once the market and technology (ETH, AVA,etc..) So not fully trustless but trust minimized which allows more efficient transactions between these parties.

These variants have their most severe symptoms blocked by the same vaccine with very similar effectiveness. Influenza viruses, on the other hand, undergo recombination in such a way that the vaccine has to be engineered every year based on guesses of what the prevalent strain is going to be.

I think using units that are individual homes with a small number of owners per property potentially has some interesting dynamics. The guaranteed ability ro reserve a (even if not the single most preferred) high-demand date each year is an obvious plus from that.

Conflicts within the ownership group, particularly over relationships to property management are very much a thing in shared-interest vacation ownership. Typically these are intense, political, but (for most owners) impersonal because of the size of ownership groups. With small-group ownership of individual properties, there would seem to be a possibility for those to be much more intense and personal, both because of the smaller group size that is involved and the greater sense of attachment/ownership of the specific property.
Under at-will employment, yes, you would need to comply, or be fired.

Neat. About that time, maybe a year before a teacher of mine had a TRS-80 all-in-one in class. Decades ahead that one. Also in Ventura County.

> They also didn't actually completely end flexible working hours, they ... required that they be performed during core hours

These are always equivalent in my experience. I've never seen a company that didn't use "core hours" to mean some large window centered around the middle of the day.
I wonder if the price of leaked data dropped after Experian's data leak from Sep 2017 that included basically everyone in the US that uses credit.

I imagine the difference in data since the Experian leak are for people that became adults since Sep 2017 or immigrants or some information about new addresses/names from moves/marriages, etc.
Ah, this one probably had more impact on me than I credit it for. Thanks for pointing it out :)
The device discussion is really interesting on so many levels. Especially for non-phones and remote working.

Let's say you live in a studio apartment and you have your own personal workstation set up how you like it. That would be a desktop workstation, couple of monitors, adjustable standing desk, some chair that you like, internet, etc..

Now a company wants to hire you and they want you to use a company issued laptop. This becomes a serious physical burden on both yourself and your limited space. Using a laptop without external monitors is horrible posture but if you're in a studio apartment you might not have enough space to use a completely separate desk, chair, couple of monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc.. We'll ignore the money aspect of having 2 distinct set ups which in the grand scheme of things isn't too big of a deal.

There's not too many reasonable options here. The company's policy might not allow you to bring your own device and even if they let you use your personal computer, allowing them to audit that or install some remote desktop sharing software that they have free reign over would be total madness.

It's also not that painless to quickly switch around HDMI (or even worse DVI) monitor cables. I suppose you could rig some type of HUB that lets you flip a switch to control which computer your monitors, keyboard, mouse, headphones, microphone, etc. are active for. This way you can use your desk setup for both, but now you can't use them at the same time which has its own set of issues. There's also issues like wanting to copy files from your personal machine to the work machine. So you might think ok I'll just allow SSH connections locally but now you've linked both machines to a point where having separation is useless, or maybe you decide to use an external drive that you can swap between both. In either case the work machine has been tainted.
Quite the opposite in the current venture world. Proving blockchain is a key element because there have been so many bad use cases that slapped blockchain on and tried to raise (hello many ICOs). Might've been true a few years ago but now blockchain makes many skeptical.
> it does seem like this virus is bucking the trend and not necessarily becoming less potent despite increased tranmissability in some variants

I would think causing more severe symptoms is a disadvantage for a Covid strain in terms of selection, because people affected by such an illness are more likely to go into quarantine or a hospital, reducing transmission.
What's mysterious about the flu disappearing? The precautions taken to reduce COVID were extremely effective against influenza. Given that it was much more broadly circulating, and therefore a large percentage of the population had antibodies to dominant strains (more than COVID even now), one would expect masks and isolation to basically destroy it's spread no?
Slightly off-topic: shouldn't the 'new normal' be to wear N95/N99 masks?

We know they're far more effective, and there's been plenty of time to ramp up production. I don't see why the 'normal' option is to wear a non-medical mask.

It's also surprising that societies are entirely incapable of doing a hard lockdown for 3 weeks with mandatory testing at the end. I imagine that would be enough to reduce the case count to near zero, but it seems this cannot be done at a national scale even with time to prepare.

edit Turns out I'm not alone here, here's a Harvard professor pushing for mass use of N95 masks: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/01/26/n95-masks...

I second this; a couple of years back I went hiking with a buddy, we had water but planned for a day hike that extended overnight, and we had to drink water from some streams. While I worried about illness, having water then meant we were able to get back to civilization, where if we got sick we could seek medical attention.

> An important first step is to actually listen to people of color about their priorities and concerns ...

I couldn't agree more, and it demonstrates what is (IMHO) the core problem:

Q: Why are a bunch of mostly white people talking to each other about the definition of racism here on HN? It is somewhat absurd: If the topic was federated authentication, I would shut up and let the people who have direct experience and expertise with federated authentication talk.

But there aren't many African-American or Hispanic people here - or at our workplaces, or in our social lives. (Yes, there are exceptions, but generally it's true for the HN audience.) We don't know because we don't have access to people who have direct experience and expertise (you wouldn't make any serious decision with that level of knowledge, don't try to do it here). That's how many issues well-known in minority communities stay hidden or are easily dismissed by white people - they are not in our realm of experience. We don't come to work and have a coworker upset because their child was abused by police, or can't follow their dream career because of racism, etc.

I've made a point of getting outside the 'white experience bubble' (my term). I couldn't recommend it more - it is perspective-shifting, mind-altering. That bubble, once most of my universe, now seems like a small bizarro-world in the much wider universe of reality. It's not hard: Talk to African-Americans - not as 'Black People' but just as people, with their own experiences, etc. Essential: Shut up and listen; don't agree, disagree, prompt, cross-examine; just give people space; you know as much about racism as I know about federated authentication. Also, look around and notice when, in a country that is ~60% white, your environment is 99% white, and try to find somewhat more diverse spaces. When a bunch of white people start trying to derogate racism, laugh.

To circle back to the article: One way to address racism (and that bubble) is to create environments where minority people feel welcome. Changing some words and customs is a cheap, easy way to do it, even if it's (inevitably) imperfect.
You would think that rationale would also apply to what you Googled last Tuesday, but sadly it doesn't.

Ultimately, your photos don't have to receive world acclaim in order to be interesting. They just have to be interesting enough to be used for ads, embarrassment, and blackmail.
a bit more

A bit more until the virus decides to go away? Or a bit more until they invent a non-leaky vaccine? Or a bit more like when the cows come home? Because that's what you are talking about. A bit more forever.
I hear ya - at UNH if I had a dollar for every time I heard "We are in talks with google to do X" I'd be a very rich man. For years Google Glass in healthcare were the buzz words everyone wanted but could never put together. Google FHIR integration was always just over the horizon. Not surprised to hear their healthcare efforts are folding but like you I feel the disappointment.
I accidentally ‘hijacked’ a number by typoing one number in my online request. I only found out after my wife pointed out my number was different after porting. It took a couple hours with the telco’s support agents, and practically no verification steps, to actually get my correct number back. Very sad state of affairs here.
That would make sense since many businesses invest in real estate and there’s a few states like Delaware that allow anonymous formation of LLCs.
One approach might be to argue that relatively well-off and highly-educated liberal whites — by virtue of their college education and higher rates of consumption of ‘woke’ content in the media, online, etc. — simply understand the reality and dynamics of racism better than the average black or Hispanic. I would strongly advise against anyone taking a stand on that hill.

I'd advise against that wording, which I think the author tailors to sound as preposterous and obnoxious as possible.
I've literally never seen/heard the phrase "virtue signaling" be used in a context that actually persuaded me to agree with the user of said phrase. It's just a magical shibboleth that is completely unprovable.
>Currency loses value over time to inflation, so investors are always trying to get better returns against a baseline. Even at 3% per year, consumption has to double every 16 years if investors only want to break even.

The math does not check out. 1.03^16 = 1.6, not 2 like you'd expect if it was "double".

Moreover, inflation only necessitates that the money supply grow infinitely, not economic activity and/or resources. If we doubled the bank balance of everyone overnight, and the price of everything doubled, that's not really "growth" in any meaningful sense.
OneSignal (YC S11) Is Hiring a Head of Product Engineering
It's a lot of both and then some:

- Phone-to-head maps poorly to using-phone-as-reference (addresses, maps, calendar, notes)

- Even with speaker, headphones, earbuds, earpiece, etc., toggling between various apps is fraught.

- The mapping of functionality between digital and paper formats ... varies. Digital most definitely does some things far better (search most especially). Others ... not so much. Arguing that digital is an unambiguous advance ... is simply false.

. The device OS may decide it wants to kill specific applications at any time, without notice, or apparent consideration as to significance.

- My office desk phone never stole my contacts, or personal diary, from my rolodex / paper notebook, either while I was on a call or when it was left unattended. (I'm rather surprised nobody's picked up on this particular element of the piece and discussion.)

- Paper gives working area. A desktop is 30 or so times the size of a sheet of A4. My 9" tablet is larger than even today's "phablet" phones ... but has only the display area of two 4x6 index cards. Paper stacks, shuffles, and turns right-angles (e.g., cross-stack sheets portrait then landscape to create divisions) in ways that digital docs don't. If I sort paper in a given order, it doesn't periodically go off and decide it would rather be sorted differently. Yes, the total data density is low. But the real access, input, output, and processing bottleneck isn't the paper, it's the human interacting with it.

I may have heard of headphones at some point. I'm checking my notes.
The evidence is that a US President [1], however unpopular, and a US Senator [2], and multiple Congressmen/women have been censored [3] , and numerous other people, or messaging attached to their communications [4] . In some cases, unpopular causes, or causes contrary to a BigTech interest have been censored [5]. At the same time, certain terrorists have been permitted to distribute their messaging unhampered [6]. Although a national platform can be an issue, that hasn't stopped BigTech from stooping down to censor unpopular local govt [7] .

In some cases, governments have colluded with BigTech to censor their political rivals [8] or to flag content that a state government found undesirable [9]

Please provide your evidence to the contrary to disprove the truth of it.

This doesn't make any sense to my terminal. I think your domain is supposed to be 50km, but my terminal thinks its ku.cou.
> it will ALWAYS be abused in harmful ways. This has always been true, and will always be true

This is demonstrably false. There are countless regulations that are vital to your every day life which serve absolutely no nefarious purpose.

Your flaw is assuming that corruption can only come from government. You risk allowing yourself to be ruled and abused by corrupt corporations (many of which are larger and have more money than some governments).

Make no mistake, there will always be people who will try to take advantage of you. They will flock to places where they have power over others. Some of them will end up in government and some of them will end up in corporations. As a citizen, you may have the power to vote out the ones that exist in governments. You have zero power over who is employed at a corporation.

You want to weaken the thing you have at least some measure of control over to allow yourself to be ruled over by something you have no ability to control or influence.

I don't understand the willingness to subjugate yourself before powerful corporations while also tying your own hands behind your back as you bend over for them. Is it because you believe that they will be benevolent rulers? History shows us they will not. Does it make it easier to pretend that you aren't being ruled? History shows us you most assuredly will be.

Maybe it's because we don't talk much about the long history of abuses people suffer when they allow themselves to be ruled by corporations. Maybe you think that those horrific abuses which happen even today overseas could never happen to you even if you weaken the government which currently protects you from those very same conditions. It's a bit like watching someone beg to be enslaved while insisting they'll somehow have freed themselves once they are...
Yes, a lot of these drugs make it very hard to sleep for 3-12 hours (depending on the drug and dose).
Do you really consider your payslips as work stuff? From a legal point of view it seems unlikely that they could claimed your device was used for work if it was used to transmit payslips. To me this doesn't seem comparable to having Slack/Email on your personal phone which means that some corporate possibly classified info made it to your device.
No it isn't. That literally the dumbest thing I have read in this thread. So your friend is the CEO two of the most successful tech companies of the decade.

Specially a person with the history of having the exact follow-through you criticize him for. Have you literally not been around for the last 2 decades?

Funny that this person that you have diagnosed drug addiction is widely more successful then you are.
One time I bought a replacement battery for my ThinkPad, only to have it "die" after only a few hours of use - on A/C power. It wouldn't even turn on anymore. I dismantled the whole thing and pored over it for days, before thinking to remove the replacement battery and run it on A/C power with nothing in the slot. Then it started working again.
That would be nice, but I imagine there's a perception problem with that.

Simply offering the option would bring the risk to the forefront of people's minds, and once you start exchanging money, lots of other thoughts and liabilities begin to enter.

If it is kept free, then the conversation ends there.
Just asking: would they also be effective in a slightly clueless general public? Eg they only work when they are in your face, fitted, etc.

It could be that cost/actual benefit looks worse when you factor poor usage.

It’s not the same. The seller in this case is someone who worked for the company for years and received the shares as compensation. The buyer is probably a fund or a speculator.
