For many of these VCs their investment was similar to investing in Theranos. The founders' story, and as controversial as it may be to say, their demographic, was what was being invested in.

Similar to how Elizabeth Holmes had money thrown at her for being a #girlboss, Ozy's CEO and COO were both "people of color". It's that last point that's been bandied about in social media a lot over the past few days, claims that the NYT is attacking a business because it's led by people of color.

For instance the Ford Foundation, one of the company's investors, said: "in an increasingly diverse world, it's no wonder a company founded by people of color is so successful." This was after the NYT article. (source: https://youtu.be/1pE9yqE5yMk?t=314). These investors just wanted to increase the number of companies they're invested in that are from people of color, even if the business fundamentals aren't legitimate.

Reviewable | UX Engineer | 100% REMOTE (overlap with US time zones) | Full-time | https://reviewable.io

Hey there! Reviewable is a code review tool for GitHub pull requests that makes the process of serious reviews thorough yet efficient. It's not for everyone but the teams that need it swear by it, especially in larger companies. We're building out our team and need an experienced UX Engineer: somebody who's a bona fide Front End Engineer, as well as a strong UX/UI Designer.

We're looking for a person who combines both skillsets because it's much harder to design for an audience of developers in a highly technical domain when you're not a developer yourself.

What you'll get to do:
- Have strong opinions about code review workflows and tooling, informed by using Reviewable on a daily basis and direct communication with users.
- Design (and redesign) features for Reviewable, from ideation through wireframes to final layout, bouncing ideas around the team.
- Collaborate on implementing those features, from prototype to production-ready code.
- Launch features, get feedback, and perhaps revise your opinions <gasp>.
- Own the front end architecture and become the go-to person for deep front end issues.
- Own the visual design of the app and the styling / component libraries that implement it.
- Contribute to setting Reviewable's direction as we grow!

Our tech stack is Vue 2.x, SemanticUI 0.19, and NodeJS backed by the Firebase RTDB and GitHub's API, all glued together with a fair bit of fancy custom libraries. You'll know some of the tech and pick up the rest quickly -- we're not worried about this.

We're a small, bootstrapped company that was run solely by its founder for a number of years but we're now growing the team to a handful of people. We're remote work natives and offer most of the usual benefits you'd find in larger companies. We move fast while keeping our code base a place we enjoy working in -- we're not afraid to bang out a feature quickly on occasion, nor are we afraid to take the time needed for a major refactoring. Most importantly, we're our own first customers, so we care intensely about keeping Reviewable's code review workflow smooth and efficient.

If this sounds like the kind of work you'd be good at and enjoy doing, please get in touch with piotr@reviewable.io! Please send evidence of your skill in both Front End Engineering (e.g., GitHub link) and UX/UI Design (e.g., a portfolio). For bonus points, tell me what annoys you most about GitHub's pull request review process!
I had SBCL around Haskell/Go/Java in my "mental model of language performance", but I don't know much about it and I'm not sure how to evaluate it. From what I understand, Racket uses a bytecode VM and/or a JIT, so Haskell being faster wouldn't surprise me.

For Java and Go, that's true, though in both cases that's mostly because of decisions rather than tradeoffs. Go doesn't have a primitive type system because it makes it faster, but mostly because that's a design choice. Same thing for Java. I'd say you can get a good part of what makes Haskell good by using a ML as the basis for your language . Lack of ad-hoc polymorphism is usually a criticism of ML and its descendants, but Go and Java both lack it too, and both added generics 10 years after the language was created, which ML supports from the beginning. Rust seem to have achieved having parametric and ad-hoc polymorphism, but I don't know how easy or hard it would be to "extract" that "part" of Rust (without the borrow checker) and basically stick a GC on it. I also don't know how performant it would be. Lastly, Go, Java and OCaml all share fast compilation times, Haskell doesn't really and Rust is known for being slow.

Again, I'm far from an expert on all of that, but I think Haskell in the right place in terms of performance and expressivity. It's one of these cases where designing a language for performance in the first place instead of retrofitting it makes things much easier, I think.
No one else find it super weird there is an announcement the same day coinbase got hacked?
I pretty much only play guitar in nonstandard tunings. Not all of them are oriented around fifths, but they often are at least in part.

Repetition of finger positions across strings is one motivation. While some of the linked comments suggest reachability, the standard guitar tuning affords a lot more for many common guitar styles. But nonstandard tunings open up a lot of other styles because you can use partial fifths on open strings more readily than with standard.

Two things I think (particularly) guitarists miss:

1. If you’re not doing chord/scale/mode transitions standard tuning is optimized for, you’re putting a lot of cognitive load either on your playing or your practice.

2. Translating guitar tuning to fifths tuning is a lot easier than vice versa if you’re reading tabs or standard sheet music.

This is just your belief in what people would want to do, and is irrelevant to whether people out there exist, and I am claiming (seemingly successfully, as my comment is resonating with a number of people) the same thing would probably be said with just as much confusion by anyone who really considers how utterly pointless a baseball card is.
But future NPV isn’t known. Yes, everyone would value future earnings of say $1B the same, but they don’t all agree the future earnings are $1B, thus they value it differently.
Although printf is affected, not every aspect of printf is affected.

IIRC, one nasty area is floating-point numbers, when you're in the locale that doesn't have . as the decimal point, but your program's requirements are such that . is the decimal point.

Like, oh, you're writing a programming language which specifies that.

Like, you know, C does for floating-point constants.

Why not get people to give a shit about others and get vaxed. If enough people did that there’d be way less COVID in the news.
Interestingly, there is a Cambridge ML (binary was called CML not to be confused with Concurrent ML CML), which seems to underlie the Nuprl theorem prover (http://www.nuprl.org/book/Metalanguage.html), and was used in Cambridge FCS courses (https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/teaching/0910/FoundsCS/usingml.html). There was also Cardelli ML (https://smlfamily.github.io/history/SML-history.pdf). I am not aware of either being called CaML but who knows maybe there is more history out there.

Uh, ok, the front/linked page confused me. Thanks.
I wrote a few small test programs to run doing continuous inserts to the master, and tested shutting down, firewalling off, and killing the process of different members of the cluster and how it recovered and if data loss was experienced by comparing data sets.

It was sufficient for me to not feel like we were taking on undue risk by using it, and since our use case is not one where we're in major trouble if a problem does come about (restoring from daily backups should be sufficient) and we're not doing anything transactional, that's good enough. As I mentioned earlier, it was a vendor requirement, so we just wanted to make sure it wasn't something that was problematic enough to make us question the vendor's decision making.

No. In WebAuthn site A can only request credentials for site A there is no way to say "Oh, er, I'm totally site B, give me the site B credentials". Everything is cryptographically tied to the exact DNS name of the site.

So the attacker at best gets valid credentials for their phishing site, which in WebAuthn are deliberately uncorrelated to other credentials, the attacker can't do anything useful with that information. In practice, of course you don't have or want credentials for their phishing site so they just get a Javascript error and give up.
You've installed a physical device. Just have it interfere with the actual code typed to the 2fa page so the target's login fails and automate the login with the correct code.
Coinbase has been the slowest to adopt new bitcoin features since they realized their business model is actually an altcoin casino.
I think Microsoft and others like IBM failed to “get it”. They tried to adopt blockchain tech without the cryptocurrency aspect, failing to realize there needs to be a built-in incentive structure for people to participate on any blockchain network. Mining, staking, and other proof / reward systems are required for any blockchain tech to get off the ground.
The slash is there, up and in one from the lower right corner on the question mark key. Seems sort of sensible to put the backslash key next to it too. It's symmetrical and not far from where one would expect it. I don't know what the key to the left of Alt is though.

I don't mean to be that guy, but I think if you are selling a product the production values on the video should be higher.

I am interested in the product, but I found the distorted audio to be distracting. I would recommend removing the twitch-like view of the narrator and focusing more on the product, with a higher quality mic.

If the narrator is going to be shown, I would recommend cutting directly to them, while preferring voice-overs, as again I think the product itself should be the the focus.

I would also recommend using less jittery transitions, and avoiding green screen when showing the live action narrators, rather I would recommend showing the room they are in as well as the product, so we can see them use the keyboard early in the video. Lighting and camera stabilization would be important here.

(Disclaimer: I am not a professional in any capacity and my words should be taken with a grain of salt. In fact I would highly recommend hiring a professional to assist with marketing and PR videos like this one.)
fact check: coinbase did not get hacked
Very interesting. I have a couple of questions, though... Have you ever experienced things that just "happened" without any clear explanation of why and made you wonder if you were somehow the cause, without any obvious proof? Have you ever felt the urge to dabble in anonymous crime fighting on your days off? Do you own any spandex or capes?
On multiple occasions, I've stumbled upon really old high school physics textbooks and they usually had a chapter on the physics of musical frequencies. It seems to be a weirdly forgotten subject.

The octave is a doubling/halving of frequencies, and so is very recognizable. The fifth is the next lowest whole number frequency ratio 3/2, 2/3. So liberal use of fifth interval makes notes often end up low whole number ratio frequencies of each other which sounds harmonious.
Wouldn't you just see ingroup hatred then? Do you have any suggestions for my friend or a group for him to belong to?

You've described the "pure" and "join" operations (in Haskell terms), which are two of the three requirements for a monad. The third and final requirement is that there must be a way to lift an arbitrary function on plain values to work on "wrapped" values: (x → y) → ({x} → {y}).

There goes my side project
I've worked with hundreds of engineers at YC unicorns, the Navy, and Fortune 100 companies in my career, and Pete is easily top 1%.

Pete is who I go to for help with big picture architectural ideas. He'll casually respond with solutions that nobody else had thought of that are more reliable, and that cost a tenth as much.

If I'm at my wit's end and cannot get past some code/network/cloud-config problem, Pete is who I call.

This post is typical of his style: wildly understated, not bragging, just getting things done.

He doesn't know I'm writing this comment, and I'm a little concerned this sounds like blown-out hyperbole (ala Chuck Norris meme or something), but the guy is just genuinely fantastic, and if you're hiring, you should absolutely speak to him.
> None of those statements demonstrate purchasing power for a cloud product…

What does this even mean? Are you trying to say I don't have enough money for the offering? Maybe so :)

I am indicting Coinbase for what they are - their lack of support, lack of useful options even for well-moneyed players in the market, lack of useful crypto products. Their API is fine, but that is standard.

And now they want to be the new Infura/Alchemy? I mean, why? They already don't provide a great product. My Uber driver yesterday was asking me if they should buy Avalanche after I casually mentioned crypto. Yeah, democratizing finance for sure.

Use it if you want, you seem axed on the product. Hope it works out for you!
I regularly work with Clojure.

This is probably an unpopular opinion in this thread, but despite having worked with it for years, I still don’t much like it, mostly because it’s far too terse and the syntax is so far removed from that of C-based languages. The other day I wrote a Java-based DTO and it was refreshing how clear and verbose everything was, despite the almost comical volume of code it took in comparison to what similar functionality would look look like in Clojure. Plus, the state of tooling in Clojure is not the best.

I would also add that while you might initially do well with something like Clojure, it may be difficult to maintain, especially if you plan to make it a legacy product with O&M support in the future.
To some extent they should have some similar properties since a fourth is basically the inverse of a fifth (modulo an octave). In theory you should also be able to shift a tetrachord on an instrument tuned in fourths you'll just go the other way and be off by an octave.

> I wasn't referring to Fed Discrimination Laws. I was referring to the California law. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

It wasn't since you explicitly said "Federal government" in your previous post. I agree that state laws can say different things.

> Why do you think that's not already the world we live in?

I didn't say it wasn't. If you already agree that what I said is the case, then you should be all the more opposed to more of the same.

> I'm just not convinced things get much worse with this.

Any extension of government power makes things worse. If the increment of "worse" seems small with some particular change, well, the phrase "frog-boiling" wasn't coined for nothing.

> One is completely excluding a group from the table. The other is ensuring that a group has a spot at the table.

You are misunderstanding my point. The current state, where many corporate boards are all of one race and one gender, is not a product of government fiat; it's a product of private decisions. But there have been cases in the past where similar states were products of government fiat. Those past government fiats are now pretty much universally agreed to have been very bad things. My point is simply that this is the same kind of thing, and should be considered bad for the same reasons. The issue is not "spots at the table". The issue is government fiat.

> In order to do that you have to fix a bunch of other stuff in society as well.

Like what? If you mean, like certain corporations having huge advantages because they have privileged access to things like loans with government printed money, lobbyists with the ear of government officials, and so on, yes, I agree all those things need to be fixed--and they're all just more examples of government power being misused. As the saying goes, the root problem is not that politicians can be bought but that they have something valuable to sell. That is what needs to be fixed.

> Companies don't live in a meritocratic bubble.

In a free market, where the government did not play favorites at all, they would--they would either have to make and sell something people want to buy, or go out of business. That's the only kind of "merit" that matters to us as consumers. But we can't exercise that ultimate control if the government keeps getting in the way.
Indeed. But also since it’s told from Klara’s pov, she is clearly conscious, and not just appears to be. You can’t write from first person without that person being conscious. The closest I’ve seen otherwise is Cibola Burn in the It Reaches Out chapters, but that’s really third person omniscient telling the readers what is and is not conscious about the protomolecule. Miller yes, the reaching out, no by design.

Anyway, the humans in Klara and the Sun don’t even question that aspect of AFs. It’s more of a biological snobbery and that the AFs are short lived like Blade Runner replicants, and replaced by newer models.
A lot of people seem to be answering by explaining what 5ths are. That isn't really the question. The question IMO is why they tune to 5ths rather than something else like 4ths, as a guitar often is.

4ths are really just 5ths backwards, but I've always wondered that about violin, too.

Even within a single country, I imagine the rural Alabama white is quite different from the rich, privately educated executive board member.

I was born and raised in a poor, rural town with a high crime rate. Neither of my parents had a trade nor a university education. It is very obvious to me that I am culturally different from a lot of other educated people in tech. Hell, the military even covered my education. I don't hold the same values or interests as my peers, but I'm a white male so I get lumped into a "homogenous" group.
To be fair an early investor in Bitcoin and Ethereum from pre-2015 could have the same ‘spending power’ as a successful IPO founder, which isn’t trivial!
