I'm not sure why you think that. Hacker News is amazingly conservative, not in the "God and guns" sense, but in the "please don't change anything ever" sense. I'm not even going to pretend that doesn't apply to me, too. Hate crypto, short AI hype, can't stand Electron apps, refuse to touch anything written in JavaScript, wish code would get out of my damn browser and into compiled executables I can keep on my local filesystem. We're basically all old men yelling at clouds here.

Reflexively, this sounds like a stupid law to me, but unless the LA Times is just lying, it sounds like it's been successful and similar policies are now being pushed privately, apparently by Nasdaq, Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and even the U.S. Chamber of Commerce is behind an effort to do something similar but without actual punishment.

It's probably illegal, though, and seems destined to eventually be struck down whenever it gets to the Supreme Court.

I also share your surprise that all white-male boards were even common before this. Mostly white-male boards I expected, but not 100%, at least for publicly traded large companies. Anybody trying to say that was meritocracy is fooling themselves. There is no way in hell there is that much of a skew in merit across gender and race boundaries.

At the same time, I very much agree with the other comments saying this is focusing on exactly the wrong kind of progressivism. It feels like George Bush putting together the most ethnically diverse cabinet of all-time, but they were still uniformly war hawks, liars, and authoritarians. Making the 0.00001% of the world allowed to have power more diverse doesn't change that power is still way too centralized. It's fine for the extreme upper echelon of women and ethnic minorities but does nothing for the vast masses of actually underprivileged people.
I agree with this sentiment. A little toe dip can't hurt though :)
I'm really late on the reply chain, but hopefully you'll see this.

I wonder if there should be an inductor coil on the power cable. It sounds like some AC is getting through, and an inductor (which is essentially an electro magnet) basically shaves it off.

That's what the mystery box or tube is that you see on some other adapters and sometimes on accessory cables for things like keyboards with built-in USB ports.

Basically the higher the current, the more magnetized it becomes. Magnets are polar, which makes it behave a bit like a one-way resistor so AC can't flow through.
Yup. It's frustrating neoliberal nonsense to be so concerned with increasing diversity in roles that shouldn't even exist while ignoring the widespread impacts of sexism and racism.
I have the exact same wish. On top of that, i'd wish for application data to be stored in the system database by default, neatly namespaced and permissioned, so that you can allow for greater interoperability if desired and manually query and combine data across different applications.

There was some research being done on the concept of a db as a filesystem: https://youtu.be/wN6IwNriwHc

They're not the shining example they think they are.
I think the seriousness of their fraud is what prompted the collapse. It’s one thing to cook viewership numbers and another to impersonate a YouTube exec to defraud Goldman Sachs of $40mn. I guess they got so used to fraud they didn’t realise they’d crossed a line, and the resulting scrutiny finally did them in.
That's because passing unconstitutional laws carries no penalty and little threat.
From the S-1 they have a fair amount of cash on hand and substantial borrowing facilities which are currently unused. They’re clearly able to raise funds privately.
Oh, so if, hypothetically, someone did have to be fired to be replaced by a non-white-male, would you be against it?
This is really comical.

I doubt that you could find many German truckers even if you were looking for them at a German truck stop.
Einstein exists - he worked at the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton and was a part of the institutional science of his day which was very much driven by showing expertise to gain attention from the established figures or start a career as a researcher - they don't accept walk-ups consults from strangers at universities, but most especially not at the IAS.
It’s not like I did something weird, I pretty much copy pasted from

https://lisp-lang.org/learn/functions

I know the reason for the time taken is because it’s not tail recursive, and that making it tail recursive would make it almost immediate, but for me that was not the point.

The thing is, I don’t really know how to write performant rust code, and yet my naive implementation in rust works better than the example in learn-lisp.

To me that means performant Lisp is non trivial (meaning you need deep understanding to achieve it). If you show a slow but easier to understand example, it’s because fast examples are way harder to understand.
Not really laziness; it's about cost and feasibility. Syndicated reporting is nothing new and nothing that'd have come with covid.

You're falling prey to yet another disinformation tactic: "Is it warming or is it cooling? Make up your mind science!"

The consensus was/is/always has been that humans are impacting the climate by burning fossil fuels. What has always been uncertain is what impact this would have on the environment/animals/humans long term. Will it heat everyone up? Will it trigger an ice age? Didn't matter, everyone agreed that more information was needed and we had to take action UNTIL a lot of money went into dovetailing that uncertainty into doubt about the whole thing. And here we are still arguing at square one 30 years later.
But this CA law is basically the exact opposite of the 1964 Civil Rights act, which says you can not discriminate based on gender or race in areas like housing and hiring.

This law is saying that you must take into account race and gender in your hiring decisions.
At the edges sure, but why allow that messiness to pervade the system instead of isolating it to the data consuming/producing interfaces?

Common Lisp was on the right track with gradual typing and decent inference, which makes a nice compromise compared to jumping static hoops to wrap the problem around a more rigid language.

The type declaration syntax definitely could use some love, I think it's a shame a more convenient syntax was never standardized. And sum types etc would be nice of course. It's all perfectly possible.

I traveled from NYC to Albania and experienced this... and many people I know here got some type of cold recently.

They all got this cold/flu that was pretty bad, but thankfully it was not covid. (associated with coughing, and upper congestion, but nothing serious, and it cleared within a week).

Even though I stopped using coinbase, I appreciate the company compared to others because:

1) They had a reasonable account recovery process after I lost my phone and therefore google authenticator. Binance's process was needlessly annoying and pointless, kucoin straight up decided this was a good opportunity to just block my account completely and steal my money, even after email verification, as well as me supplying all emails they sent me about account activity.

2) They were the most transparent about new requirements about identity verification than others, and still allow withdrawals without verification.

3) Best UI in the game.
Wasn't this what Microsoft was working on with WinFS in Longhorn which later became Vista but without the WinFS part?

And I think ReiserFS was also working towards this but got abandoned for obvious reasons.
I saw my first Rivian in the wild last Sunday. I live near their head office in Plymouth, MI so I presume it was an employee.

I would say in case of influenza, close to extinction is not close enough and is probably even nothing to cheer about.

What I mean is as soon as restrictions are lifted we are going to see a huge correction for influenza cases with population that has not been exposed to it for the duration of pandemic.

It is inevitable because it only takes couple cases in some corner of the world to ensure it comes back.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but won't WebAuthn with hardware tokens still be vulnerable to MITM phishing attacks? Ones where the attacker sets up a convincingly fake website and forwards the signature to the actual server?
> No, that's not what Federal anti-discrimination law says.

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

> The people who are attracted to government jobs where they get to tell other people what to do aren't benevolent helpers; they're people who like power. All history shows that such people are precisely the people you don't want telling other people what to do.

Why do you think that's not already the world we live in? Police officers are the epitome of this. I'm just not convinced things get much worse with this.

> The second problem is that dictating that people of certain races must belong to corporate boards is just as wrong as dictating that people of certain races can't belong to corporate boards.

I disagree with this. They are vastly different. One is completely excluding a group from the table. The other is ensuring that a group has a spot at the table. And boards, in particular, are the type of position where there are many qualified people. If we did a controlled study I'd be shocked if there was a negative difference in performance of companies with Black board members.

> The only real way to fix corporate governance is for people who would do better jobs than the board members of current corporations to form their own corporations and out-compete the current corporations.

In order to do that you have to fix a bunch of other stuff in society as well. Companies don't live in a meritocratic bubble.

> It’s one thing to cook viewership numbers and another to impersonate a YouTube exec to defraud Goldman Sachs of $40mn

And it's an entirely separate thing for the CEO to defend said fraud as a mental health oopsie, and then the chairman of the Board to defend the CEO for running a forgiving ship.

Clown car, front to back. Every one of the people involved should be investigated, in their activities pertaining to Ozy Media as well as everything else they're supposedly involved with and/or overseeing.
Can't wait for someone to rickroll me with these lengthened "o" links.
Compensation has almost nothing to do with how critical or important (lorry driver) your job is to the functioning of society, or how noble it is, or even how skilled you are.

All that matters is the balance between supply and demand.

Lorry drivers are paid shit because, despite the pressure and bad conditions, they're relatively easy to train up (sure it takes time, so this isn't helping right now), there are plenty of people willing to put up with shit conditions for a few years at a time (always fresh supply), and most of them are hauling shit around for retail consumption which has low profit argins.

Software developers at investment banks (for example) are paid well because there's huge demand, supply of good developers with the right domain knowledge is short, and they work in a lucrative industry.
The only way you could be baffled is if you're on the receiving end of such benefit.

The Brexit referendum was 5 years ago. The market has had plenty of time to react. If some companies now have skilled labor shortages then that's entirely due to management incompetence. They could have hired more employees years ago and trained them to be lorry drivers.
If you have an open board seat, and your other five positions are currently held by "white males", you are now forced to discriminate based on race/gender. By law you would not be allowed to appoint a qualified potential candidate because they have the "wrong" physical attributes. It's abhorrent.
It depends. It depends on your local healthcare system, the vaccination rate, the previous natural immunity rate, the age of the population...

Here in Ontario my unqualified napkin math suggests we might now be able to just fully re-open and get away with it. Over in Alberta where they have 2x as many unvaccinated people per capita, the ER departments and ICUs are in bad shape.

> The head of emergency medicine for the Alberta Medical Association says major components of triage have already begun in Alberta, even though the protocol hasn’t officially been implemented. Dr. Paul Parks said that in recent days some critically ill COVID-19 patients who should be on ventilators are not getting them. That’s on top of previously announced mass cancellations of surgeries, along with patient transfers, as doctors balance medical need with available space, he said. -- https://globalnews.ca/news/8218552/alberta-covid-19-icu-tria...

We've seen triage protocols implemented in various places around the world when it did in fact, spike badly enough. It can happen if you have a lot of unvaccinated old people who all get it suddenly.
> worst benchmark you could use for CL vs. rust.

I wasn’t benchmarking CL vs Rust, but my CL vs my Rust. What I was trying to see is, can I do something useful with this? Or do I need to invest a good amount of time (something I don’t really have now) before being productive.

As for the rust version, I did the “trivial” (and terrible) translation. Match on input, recursive call on the _ arm.

> A bit clickbaity title.

It's the definition of fake news.

Obviously you possibly have hundreds of types of licenses given the many countries and many systems the way licensing works in the UK.

There will be mistakes and obviously you will see if the person sends their resume they have no experience. Like any job ad.

Tom Peck is a anti-Brexit journalist. He once referred to Brexiters as - "Parliament Square was a knuckle-dragging carnival of irredeemable stupidity".

Anti-Brexiters enjoy seeing Brexit fail it gives them a sense they were correct / Sunk Cost Fallacy, so this is big business.

It gets clicks, it controls votes. Fake news or not this stuff it power / money. Look at the comments here eating up something that's not even an admin error, some of those Germans will have driven lorries, for the cost of cents it's worth targeting them. And this in not just a Brexit issue, it's also a Covid issue, but you'll notice that bit is missing from the article.
My favourite are the 10-14 day jams. You can make something really cool with that kind of time limit. I used a jam last year that allowed pre existing code to make a little playable scenario out of my projects game systems and it was wicked for feedback about game feel. Before that, made a little village builder game from scratch.

2 days though? I don’t know what I would do, its not much time

Gun is snake oil.
That would be great! I agree it's not a fair comparison -- the post was meant more along the lines of, "how far can I push Common Lisp and learn some things?" rather than a strict comparison of performance of optimized code in each language. As I said, Clojure is fast enough for my purposes nearly all the time.
If that was the literal rule (you had to fire a white male) then yes, I would be against it. The intent isn't to be spiteful against white males. It's to give space at the table for other groups that are intentionally excluded due to their race.

Some of the cold viruses are extremely infectious, certainly moreso than boring ol' Original Covid or Alpha, and some possibly more than Delta.

R number for influenza is normally reckoned at well under 1.5; it's really not that infectious.

> why _only_ flu disappeared out of huge variety of respiratory viruses.

Some of the viruses which cause the common cold may well have become rare or outright disappeared; we probably wouldn't notice.

But if you assume that measures are equally effective against flu, cold and covid, you'd probably expect flu to be suppressed first, then ancestral and alpha covid, then most colds, then delta.
You have to compare like with like. So try Reddit vs. not just PBS, but literally every TV program you watched and newspaper/magazine you read.
That functionality is mostly an afterthought in ext and ntfs, though. More of a big deal for Apple with hfs but still not something you'd build a database on.
If your belief is minorites aren't promoted by all-white executive boards, this is a very rapid fix that could work across all levels within a company. Worth a shot.
