As I said, Elizabeth Holmes being pretty much from Silicon Valley royalty was key to the leverage she managed to achieve. I'll be surprised if she's found guilty.
Lobster fed to prisoners was grounded whole, with the shell, which contains a tremendous amount of ammonia. Pretty close to eating a bowl of crab soaked in urine with small pieces of shell tearing into your gums.

That compiles though. You need to CPS the constraint as in my example above. This does the job:

type Test (c :: Constraint) = forall a. (c => a) -> a

testTheObvious :: Test ((2 + 2) ~ 5)
testTheObvious = id

Parts of the anonymous trend started on 4chan. However not everyone involved with anonymous is/was involved with 4chan, and it was also at a time when 4chan was more of an anonymous meme board and less of a pedo/nazi aggregator.

Anonymous doesn't only attack megacorps. First because anonymous is not a group so there's no central leadership to decide who to attack. Second because they're overall involved with fighting injustices of all kinds. It's not the first nazi-friendly site to get hacked by anonymous, but to my knowledge the first nazi-friendly webhost.

Also, depending on your understanding of what a megacorp is, Epik may very well qualify.
I doubt they paid the same before transparent wages because transparent wages didn't cause this.

McDonalds will pay more in one town than another and sometimes pay varies depending on the location in town. They've done this for decades, and it has traditionally caused folks to take on a slightly longer commute to bring home a bit more extra money, but most folks don't because it still isn't a lot of pay.

The bigger point is that you know these things upfront. Want more money? Go ahead and live in the more expensive area.

And honestly, equal pay doesn't necessarily mean equality. Will both rates of pay give you a similar quality of life? Is it more fair that the person in Kentucky has a much higher quality of life than the person in New York?
It already happens in certain cases like divorce and child-support. See Full Faith and Credit Clause.
But that has never actually been a thing in the public policy debate about it which is the wider context we're talking about. I think it was just made up now to exclude certain other inconvenient analogous situations like this.

How was that tradeoff decided, who decided it and where is the justification? And you can start losing weight in your own home, on day 1. That's faster than even a single shot of vaccine, let alone two shots with a delay, plus boosters etc. So that's not a very satisfactory answer as to why some mandates for the greater good are acceptable and yet others are not.
> Firefox seems to be the only hope to avoid a duopoly dominated by forces that are anti-privacy and anti-user. I recently made the move from Safari to Firefox and I am very pleased.

I've noticed that when the words "duopoly" / "monopoly" get thrown around in a thread about Firefox, it almost reads as if people use Firefox for the sole reason that it isn't Chromium.

In that vein, I've always wondered why some Firefox users tend to use it because of something it isn't?

I am not a native English speaker (and I don't work at Gitlab) but I am curious and interested in using proper terms, as I think as developer that naming is a very important skill.

So, I find strange this meaning that you give for a "draft" = that it is something that has connotation of throwing away when building the final product.

I think you are confusing a "draft" with a "sketch" and they are not the same.

I googled the term "draft" and here is what I found:

> "a version of something (such as a document) that you make before you make the final version" [1]

> "A preliminary version of a piece of writing." [2]

While "sketch" means:

> "a rough drawing representing the chief features of an object or scene and often made as a preliminary study" [3]

> "A rough or unfinished version of any creative work." [3]

> "A rough or unfinished drawing or painting, often made to assist in making a more finished picture." [4]

In the case of sketch I see some keywords like "preliminary study" or "assist" or "unfinished version" that indicates that the sketch will not be the final product.

So while it is true that a Draft could be thrown away if someone has new/better/difference ideas while working on it, it does not seem to imply that a Draft should be thrown when building the final product.

As far as I understand it is more that a draft will evolve into a final product or might be abandoned.

Drive-by associations of the morality of FB’s business (which I personally found objectionable enough to leave a few MM on the table over) and the caliber of the engineers who work there are suspect.

The folks are every bit as good as the hiring practices would indicate. These people meet a problem, and in the average case haven’t read the relevant textbook. So they read it, and solve the problem. Sometimes they invent something new. I personally had LSM in production before Dean et al.

Criticize the business all you want, I might even back you, but the typical HN smartass has no idea the world of hurt they would be in if they had to code against an FB new hire.
"PGP" is an algorithm, not an organization or movement, so you can't really say it failed. The algorithm is pretty good, though some implementations are really bad, and most programs who embed it have bad UX.

However, there's still some very good programs with good UX making use of PGP (for example delta.chat), and to this day no cryptomoney scam wallet has ever been as useful as PGP has over the years.

I love this logic, if you're going to take some of my money away I will do nothing instead. Really? Bullshit.

Why should anyone get to take hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars without paying anything back to society in taxes? Simply because they took a risk? They owe nothing to the society that let them do that? All those jobs they created, hired people, who relied on government services at some point from education, roads, healthcare, food, security, etc. Of course they did too, but no. Now that they are making more than almost everyone in the society, they shouldn't have to pay anything back to it?

It's a greedy load of crap justified with weak, self interested nonsense.

This is shockingly bad, but the response is completely inexcusable. Agree with other comments, people should get off Travis-CI immediately.

My concern now is that I will need to double check all my npm dependencies that could have potentially been affected by this, because it's very feasible that creds were leaked that could lead to an attacker surreptitiously injecting malicious code into a build.

And you can know this thanks to the transparency and it help to make an informed choice. And if this policy prevent them from recruiting good worker, they will change it.

In a non transparent setup, they could be doing it a none would be wiser.

There’s certainly value in, at the very least, understanding how shadows can help delineate elements and create depth (which is a huge part of how we as humans create visual hierarchy to determine what’s important).

Much of the article might not be exactly “business value focused” but neither are the technical deep dives of database systems, though you’d never hear this kind of comment on that kind of post.

tl;dr: it’s someone nerding out a bit, it doesn’t need to create “business value”

> If you eat 2000 calories your not going to be obese, no matter what your eating

BMRs are estimated between typical ranges 1200-2400 across the population (with 1200 being short people with no muscle, and 2400 being tall toned people; body builders and athletes can be significantly above this). If you're 1.6m tall and are not working out at all, eating 2000 calories per day will quickly get you overweight.

> There's nothing really bad about a fast food burger. No one is getting obese eating a cheese burger.

> The problem is the fries, juice, milk shakes, sodas

Well, the burger bread, especially if its sweetened + sauces + the cheese are more than half the calories in the burger, and just as empty as the soda, fries, juice, milk shake. The tomato and pickles are fine, the meat is ok.

Even then, your deeper point, which I assume is that 2000 Cal is 2000 Cal, whether you get it from lettuce or burgers, is almost certainly wrong in practice. While in the short term it's true (i.e. someone with a generally healthy diet will not get any more fat by eating an extra burger than by eating an equivalent amount of extra apples), it's very clear that in the long term there is a significant difference in CI (appetite) or CO (BMR, sedentariness) for people on junk diets vs better food.

The reasons for this are unknown, and candidate explanations range from "delicious food" addiction, gut microbiome impact, sugar addiction, metabolism-impacting contaminant (with various candidates such as PFAS, trace mineral oils from industrial cooking equipment, etc).
No.

If someone outperforms another person, you have to be able to prove that with numbers. Being upfront about pay does mean that you are upfront about pay differences. For example: Alex has a higher degree or more experience, Robin tends to be finished before the last minute.

Things like job performance are harder to measure unless folks are put in very similar situations. For example, if you measure a cashier's performance by the number of customers they serve, the overnight cashier is almost always going to perform badly simply because there are fewer customers at night.
After reading the comment again, isn’t the first example equal to:

await Promise.all(
arr.map(item => item())
);

The async keyword is just syntactic sugar for immediately returning a Promise for whatever the function eventually returns, so the async-await inside the map is extraneous if item() is already async.

There are often good teams but they need to work with a compensation department/committee to get actual numbers. IMO it seems a bit early to judge the company culture just by an interaction with the recruiter.

But maybe you consider that to be a part of company culture too. What I’ve noticed though is even fantastic engineering companies might crappy departments for other things.

> security is something that is not of immediate value

Yeah exactly. It's a huge cost upfront and zero immediate benefits. The investment is worth it to prevent losing value due to a breach, but unfortunately it seems pretty OK for for-profit companies to "loose" data from millions of their customers without facing any sort of consequences.

I'm not exactly saying it should be entirely okay for non-profits, but these generally don't have the resources/budget to ensure any form of security so i don't have the same standards. In my book, a for-profit business leaking user data due to preventable mistakes should be dissolved instantly by law for endangering uselessly their customers.

Another pair of telescopes should be sited in Shackleton Crater, 21 km across, at the exact south pole of the moon. https://apod.nasa.gov/apod/ap110423.html

One of them would be a conventional radio telescope. The other, an infrared telescope.

The temperature within the crater is a nearly-constant 90K. You could power it with solar panels rotating on vertical axes posted at strategic points on the crater rim, that are almost always in sunlight.

The crater is so big that, for the infra scope, you could build it out of optically flat mirrors placed around the circumference.

The crater always points to the same spot in the sky, so you could get really, really long exposures. That you can't point it is OK, because there is so much to see if you are looking far enough away. At some distance and red-shift it would be an X-ray telescope, others an ultraviolet scope. Maybe a gamma-ray scope, at the extremum?
They mention it's used in oral literature as an aid to memorization. It can also be seen as a human error-correction technique, just like a transmission over a noisy channel this allows the text to be preserved using oral transmission over many generations.

There are many other literary techniques which can be seen in the same light, the simplest of which is rhymes. There's also alliterations, verse-lengths in poetry being restricted to the right amount for chunking, anadiplosis, chiasmus in a more general sense...

I've been working on a series of texts that combine these techniques with mnemonic systems to try and achieve super-human speed in vocabulary acquisition for fun but they're really hard to combine into a text that is somewhat natural.
I've never seen that weighing or justified anywhere. Do you have any sources on that?

Mandating overweight people lose weight is not more invasive than mandating people undergo unwanted medical procedures. Forced medical procedures are actually an incredibly serious and problematic issue with a long and dark history.

The problem I have is not any one particular procedure, it is the idea of coercion, and the bullying and excluding of people (disproportionately disadvantaged, non-white, etc too, I might add).

I'm not normally in agreement with "the Atlantic" which tends to a middle-right perspective to me.

I thought this review was spot-on: The biography is flawed, makes critically wrong assumptions, about Thiel and his relative power, but in the end confirms (to me) what we think about Thiel: he's pretty a-social, and doesn't care. He's a product of his situation, master of his own fate, and not remotely interested in social equity. Obviously I don't like this or agree with his world view. I would hate to have a biography about me, which drew conclusions from such false premises, but I still find enough meat in this biography to confirm what I think we see: Thiel is not here to make other people happy. Thiel is here to make Thiel happy. Perhaps the rest of us are fools (I am confident Thiel mostly thinks so)

If the quote about womens right to vote is correct, Thiel has alienated 50% of his market. Perhaps the quote is wrong, or he fails to appreciate how dependent his wealth is, on the economic power of women? I doubt the latter: he's not that stupid. (this assumes Thiel did not liquidate his share holdings, which are in enterprises which target women, or reflect the reality: Women make many significant purchasing decisions)

Palentir would lose contracts from many governments, which demand certain social obligations from their providers. Even the US army is required to respect these obligations.
