It's not all-or-nothing for the university -- some programs are not.

"Like the CS department, the EE department is no longer ABET accredited. While such accreditation is useful in certain disciplines such as civil engineering, it has no practical significance whatsoever in computer science."

https://cs.stanford.edu/degrees/undergrad/Considering.shtml

Similarly, UC Berkeley also declined to renew their ABET acreditation for their EECS department, and so they haven't been ABET-accredited for the past few years.

"Both of these programs are accredited by ABET through September 30, 2019, but because we have decided not to continue applying for ABET accreditation, we will be developing a single set of student learning outcomes for our department, rather than using the two sets of outcomes mandated by ABET for EECS departments.

George brought it up in the thread and you responded to him. Tesla and Comma.AI are building the exact same technology. Are you saying that we shouldn't discuss these other companies until they have a permit for SF driving?
Neither is 71, 72, 73, 74 and so on, and then one day you really were too old to drive. In a country where driving is a necessity there is no way around this so you get a lot of people driving who really shouldn't be. To play it safe I've set the limit at 70 for myself because I think that if I don't put a hard line down I will always think 'one more year'. This avoids the gray area entirely, exactly because 70 isn't too old to drive.
Programming changes practice quickly and often because it's cheap to do so compared to physical engineering which is slowed down by execution time, high materials cost, and sunk costs.

The interesting question is this: would other engineering pursuits (say civil) have just as much chaos and lack of authoritative practices, if changing practices would be equally fast and cheap for them?
English has some uncommonly used relational terms, like "second cousin once removed" or "great-nephew", which are comparable in complexity. If you're feeling creative, you can even stack on some confusing modifiers like "step-" or "-in-law".

Absolutely not. “Sharing resources” doesn’t work when there is not enough to share.

A civilized society works when supply and demand intersection determines the price of goods and services.

Governments should interfere for specific cases (life emergency, masks, etc) and there are laws prohibiting scalping for these commodities - rightfully so.

Your idea of government intervention would assume that government is a rational entity. The truth couldn’t be further from it. Bribes and political favors from large companies would leave everything worse than it was before.

Imagine you're a low volume medical instrument maker and you need a dozen STM32 chips for your life saving device. Scalpers make sure that these chips are available and ready to ship, albeit at a premium which the company is happy to pay for given the circumstances.

A lot of the brain is for unrelated things. Imagine how many neurons you eliminate by excluding the cerebellum or the brain stem. And if you carved away the brain until only the intellect remained, distilling its digital equivalent could reduce its size even more. And if it were just the algorithm, I think 10TB would be enough.
Regarding the "good intentions" change, the explanation in the linked twitter thread makes sense to me: in some contexts, assuming good intentions is a way of excusing bad behavior.

It's hard to agree on the exact boundary between enabling a jerk and making an issue out of nothing. But the old "assume good intentions" policy does sound to me uncomfortably similar to "if you're offended it's your own fault". Which is generally how people treat victims of harassment in communities where that sort of harassment is tolerated.
Fully agree. This idea that "individuals arent spied on in America" is absurdly naive and ignorant of seemingly common knowledge of past events. Furthermore it's kind of implicitly supremacist - "only those foreigners do that sort of thing".

Police regularly bust young Chinese for marijuana possession by reading their chat messages. And we are just as human and no more special than the Chinese.

A friend of mine was taken into an unmarked van and questioned after some tweets he made while at an Occupy Wall Street protest. The motives absolutely exist in the US.
Protected class if definition even exist can mean completely different things. Saying that US definition is the only one that matters is unwelcoming to people from other countries.

edit: non just unwelcoming, it can be considered discriminating
But that's kind of the point, no? You could literally just have your comment as the CoC and it would be good enough to cover the joke in question.

So why is the pull request necessary? It very obviously opens up the potential to be abused by people who would love to kick others out of the community because they don't like their political opinions.
Having worked in a consulting firm for years, I spent very little time in the office anyway. Instead I was constantly deployed to client sites. I wonder how this will impact those who are working for clients who have different policies. Will the consultants still be remote, or will they have to adhere to their client's policies, some of whom inevitably will require being in the office. In that case, this isn't as sweet a deal as it may seem.
It was a very "have you stopped beating your wife?" question. Snark is not an inappropriate response.
Do you mean "like what most cops do" rather that "most of what cops do"? Because weighting by time, the latter seems implausible to me.

It's really odd to make fundamental rule changes to respond to things like that rather than carving out exceptions for sexist remarks specifically if those are the problem.

'This section shall not be interpreted to defend any communication reasonably seen as sexist, racist, or otherwise discriminatory' is much clearer than changing from 'assume good faith' to 'assume nothing, intent doesn't matter as much as impact. '

Everyone is part of a legally protected class. For example, you oughtn't discriminate on the basis of marital status. Regardless of who you are you have a marital status, either single, married, divorced, widowed, etc. Or you ought not discriminate on the basis of race. Whether it be white, mixed race, ginger, etc. So while it might be the case that being a member of a minority is a particular instance of a protected class, we all fit into various classes, and the idea is that none of us should face harassment or discrimination based upon our membership therein, regardless of what it may be.

> So many people feel they work too much and dream of just getting away to something simpler.

I agree that this the popular sentiment, but I think work is a smaller part of it than we like to think. I think people are simply overwhelmed with the always-on, always-connected lifestyles that fill our every waking moment with outrage-bait headlines and more entertainment media than we could possibly ever consume. Anyone with a phone is always seconds away from piping stress and bad news and drama and conflict and ragebait straight into their eyes for hours at a time. And many do!

Wage stagnation is one thing, but I think the actual amount of work we’re doing gets less and less each decade. When I was young I remember my parents making fun of me for working “bankers’ hours” because my job was 9-6. For them, 10-12 hour days were the norm. Before that, my grandfathers on both sides had to work two full-time jobs simultaneously at different points to support their families. Before that, my great-grandparents started with a homestead where every day was filled with hard labor just to survive when winter rolled around.

Cottagecore aesthetic encapsulates a romanticized version of the laborious homesteading lifestyle but in a way that assumes all of the modern amenities and none of the labor. It sells because most people are so far removed from the idea of how much labor it takes to survive and be self-sufficient that the idea seems downright romantic.

The notion that things would be easier if we simply rolled back the clock to simpler times is demonstrably not true, but the idea of “born in the wrong era” is a common result of romanticizing the past.

If you think about this from a game theoretic perspective, it makes business sense to "defect" first (make this offer to employees). If all firms could be trusted to cooperate, they could pressure workers to return and workers wouldn't have any recourse. But because the first firm that defects has its pick of the remote talent litter, the slower you move the worse off you are.
It's absolutely a good thing that these cameras are required with how many children are run over frequently as drivers reverse their cars.
Let me explain.

See, first people were irate that the code of conduct existed at all, they felt that having a definition of harassment was bad because "some people get offended at everything". Then they were angry when that definition was narrowed, because they felt that it didn't protect them enough.

Obviously, the code of conduct is the only thing in common here, so that must be the problem.

Remember, the code of conduct is bad because "some people" make it their business to get offended all the time - that could have a chilling effect on discussions! That's why we need freedom warriors to protect us with over-the-top vitriol and hyperbole every time a code of conduct is brought up.
First make public transportation as clean and safe as ride sharing, then you'll get demand. Nobody wants to sit next to people that smell like piss/weed/cigs/BO. If you were a Uber/Lyft driver that kind of thing would get you 1 star very quickly.
Straw man argument.

Effectively zero people are angry with those who cannot get vaccinated for valid medical reasons.

People are angry with those who claim "medical reasons" as to why they cannot be vaccinated, when they are lying.

I cannot receive certain vaccines due to legitimate medical reasons: however I can and did receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

Those who cannot be vaccinated need herd immunity to be protected. People who lie and claim to be a member of that small community of vulnerable people put those same people at massive risk by making herd immunity impossible to achieve.

But...like...just say no? Am I missing something? If the current CoC covers offensive jokes like the one in question, then simply assert that the CoC covers it and be done with it.

If someone is willing to go through the CoC with a fine tooth comb, they're likely going to find something they could potentially use to defend themselves. Just say no!

The changes open up so much interpretation that anyone could use it to kick out people for all sorts of silly reasons.
Or maybe you're losing your edge to better-looking people with better ideas and more talent who are actually really really nice.
Living as a SINK/DINK? Yeah sure. Look at just about any show about raising children at or above the replacement rate and the vast majority are all in homes. Even the family in shameless had a home. The only counter example I can even think of is smilf.
I didn't know TPMS is mandatory in US and EU about a decade ago. It's still not mandatory in Japan so most cars except luxury or imported don't equip it. Maybe vehicle inspection program (shaken) for every two years helps to avoid using worn tires. Also maybe due to less people use run flat tires than US/EU, or roads in Japan is better.
Do you think most cases of violence by cops are against violent people?

Remembering that when they're called to a violent crime, usually it's already over, but when they're called for a non-violent offense the perpetrator is more likely to be there?
Right. Definitely stupid and probably a stretch to call it sexist. Would something like this really get you banned from a mailing list?

I don't think it's necessary to believe that the DMV's evaluation means anything about the quality of self-driving (and I don't think it means much).

The fact that they're permitting it means it will be happening in practice, which will generate lots of data points, which (a) will help the companies improve their software and (b) assuming it's not a disaster, will get people used to seeing self-driving cars that really work, which (from a practical-politics perspective) will make it much easier to get permission from other regional governments, and to expand the permits.

wtf does this have to do with "Hacker News"?
The software is as sturdy as the day it was written, there has been no deterioration - if your copy has become broken, the builder can easily supply another copy using his own silver.

On the other hand, if the customer finds out that their door is inconvenient and it would be much better to have it a bit to the right, noone expects a house builder to fix that at their expense, you bought what you saw. And the same thing if it turns out that the house is very difficult to maintain because it's inconvenient to get to the piping. And ifthe customer buys a bigger car and the garage needs to be adapted to fit it, that's their expense.

Those three would be the main equivalents of all the commonly seen software "best practices" which generally either refer to feature design, the maintainability of the code, and ensuring compatibility when an integrated system changes.

I remember a discussion on Twitter about abolishing possesive pronouns, because they allegedly express a relation of power and, well, possession. Like, you shouldn't say "my wife" because she doesn't belong to you.

The thing is this: for a lot of things we have experts, and we listen to them. We know we should listen to medical doctors instead of improvising uneducated opinions.

In the case of language, there are also experts: linguists. They can educate us about the various uses of possesive pronouns, which express more than just a naive idea of possession.

But somehow in this kind of heated discussions nobody consults linguists for guidance.
> Having scalpers in the mix raising the price for all components worries me that the chip shortage might not end for many years, as they can self-fund by raising their prices to stock up on new supply.

Tough. Then run a fab or start carrying inventory.

Just-in-time and fabless had risks that everybody simply ignored over and over. I'm happy to see companies taking it in the shorts for that.

Everybody loves the "free market" when it works in their favor and whines when the same winds turn around and bite them in the ass, personally.

And how many people drive more than 300km per day AND don't have the time to wait 50 minutes, but only got 5? The replaceable car batteries is technically possible (heck, everything is possible with engineering), but totally useless.
Yes. The one nuance in this case is to evaluate these factors as the receiving party, to determine how relevant the content is to you personally. E.g. for the police chief of that department, knowledge of this incident is very much necessary. For the random internet perso who's going to forget about it tomorrow, perhaps not so much.
Establish 1 year product road map. Break down that year into quarters and so on.

You're way overcomplicating things. Uber already handles this kind of stuff. Driver gets paid on the person who threw up's dime ($50-200), driver is responsible for cleaning it up. It'll just be a centralized maintenance hub instead of the driver. You won't get dinged unless you consistently get reported, because Waymo (like Uber) will follow the Amazon model of customer-is-always-right.

These are all solved problems.
It is inappropriate if you want to convince people of your viewpoint, which is what I stated. The aptness with respect to other goals could vary of course.
Lots of Java Frameworks (definitely Spring) will generate wrapper classes for your code to handle things like method level authorization, pre/post method logging, Exception transformation. This is generally termed "Aspect Oriented Programming". This is exactly whats going on with Spring's @Service annotation. In order for you to still be able to call your methods even though the class will be some sort of proxy at runtime, an Interface is required. It may seem silly but it all makes perfect sense when you understand whats going on.

Edit: Surprised I haven't seen this mentioned in any other comments. I had thought this was pretty common knowledge, at least amongst people with Java experience.
The PR author elaborated further in the linked Twitter thread: he believes that a policy of assuming good faith is bad on its own merits because it tends to benefit white men. (https://twitter.com/JakeHerrington/status/144328685321023079...)
"I think people are simply overwhelmed with the always-on, always-connected lifestyles that fill our every waking moment with outrage-bait headlines and more entertainment media than we could possibly ever consume" I completely agree with you. I think the worst thing that happened to modern societal culture was the invention of the pay per click model. Everything changed at that moment; politics, consumerism, even they way we form opinions and gather information. All for the worse.
In my opinion it keeps listings looking more professional. Should gender matter here?
