I don't really use Twitter, but this is the first time I've heard of the whole thing since a year ago. If he's on there every day fighting with people, then yeah, he's an addict too. If he's just checking in after a year and saying "hey it's working out for us", more power to him.
The headline makes it seem like they found the gold thread together with the jaw but none of this happened. its just supposition. Another case of bad science reporting based on pure assumptions.
Just think what a school district run by blackstone would do, ESG style.

Brave would be better if they replaced ads with their own ads.

Last I used Brave, it gave me stupid little popups on my notification bar and that's, to me, worse than in-page ads.
Healthy would be normal people using it for things other than speculation. Who’s using it because it makes their life better in some way?
Nice work!

Does Roapi needs to load the data file into memory first, and then answer the queries? Or does it handle the query while streaming through the data?
I don't know. How do you tell an apolitical workspace from a progressive workspace if the progressive workspace claims it's apolitical?

But until we see that coinbase harasses trans people who work there I'll assume they are apolitical as they say and not conservative. If you have evidence that they did harass trans people as you fear then you can bring them up and we can see that coinbase isn't really apolitical, but until then you are just creating a problem out of nothing.

Plenty of companies have policies against politics at work, but I've never heard of a real expample where that caused issues with trans people. Instead people just bring up thought examples. I don't doubt it might have ever happened, but I don't think it is nearly as common or problematic as people try to make it out to be.
If you could tell me what point you think I should be drawing from that link, it would be lovely.

Because all I see is the first half devoted to the sort of generic PR speak that any company does about having an aligned vision, and the latter half is about what they're not doing.

Where's the big reveal? What makes being a 'mission focused' company different than just... actually not making political statements? What did the big meta-political statement add to their company?

Are you a white male? Because that's who likes it there.
No, I'm not implying that. I'm saying that you do not need to heed to advice if you do not wish to become better, for whatever definition of better or 'getting ahead' you use. Saying that you don't want to get ahead is like a null statement. It doesn't add anything and is quite irrelevant to this discussion. It's like saying, "but I don't care; I'll do my own thing". You can say that for anything.
The program starts in Kindergarten, the year they turn 5, and they need to take a test to apply the January before they start. Everyone is 4 except for the January birthdays.

Not sure what you are referring to but they don't allow older kids to test for it in NYC (the PA program) so if you moved or weren't thinking about this program 9 months before they started kindergarten you missed out.

I find it eternally confusing how the narrative is "this change is because of climate change" and not "this change is because we are running out of oil".

Oil hasn't been consistently cheap since 2003, it is only going to get more expensive. We've consistently been using more of the stuff than gets discovered since the 1980s. There is only one way the story ends.

The issue at hand (it seems) was the lack of a warrant. In 2012, the US Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in US v. Jones that a GPS tracker attached to a car was a “search” and would require a warrant. This seems like the same idea.

Why a year? Why not daily? The vaccinations happen throughout the day. Why not per lifetime? You can only get the second dose once. I could pick any interval, either customary (hourly, daily, monthly) or completely arbitrary (per 47 seconds) and get any number as a result. If you can't argue why a per-year incidence is the proper number and not any other, then that by itself disproves the validity of the approach. You can't just pick an arbitrary number for what is effectively a scaling factor and say works for me.

I wanted to compare vaccination occurrences with regular ones. Most of reported vaccine carditis happens a few days after second dose, so I compared those with the average incidence for a few (5) days. I.e. how likely is one to get vaccine carditis vs. background carditis during the same or equivalent time.

Sorry about the last paragraph. I meant vaccine carditis vs. non-vaccine for young males during the same time one would be at risk from vaccine carditis. Mainly as a sanity check for the signal-to-noise ratio.

The segregated G&T model has been shown to make education worse for both students tracked into G&T and those not compared doing same classroom, student-adapted assignments universally—aside from the problems in identification that provide lots of opportunity for subtle and not-so-subtle social factors other than merit to play a role, so if this is executed well, it's good. And there outline I've seen in other articles (not bothering to try to bypass the Times paywall) looks good:

* Eliminate the high stakes test for four-year olds that controls the entrance gate to accelerated programs.

* Expand accelerated programs to all 800 schools instead of 80.

* Train all kindergarten (initially) teachers in student-specific accelerated teaching.

* Hire additional experienced teachers in areas where acclerated programs will be new.

* Screen all students at third-grade for additional subject-area-specific accelerated programs, still to be delivered in mixed classrooms.

Obviously, the details of execution beyond high-level bullet points matter a lot, but this sounds quite good. And even if the plan was excellent, starting a controversial thing on the way out without institutional and leadership continuity of vision to carry it through is very much not ideal.

You’re right, Poland is probably in worse position than Texas here. Texas at least has the promise of a federal system to reign in its more unpopular legislative instincts, Poland not so much.
> merely saying "we as a company [...] don't tolerate anyone who doesn't [share our political stance]" are just... basic things you need to do in 2021

> Anyone who doesn't fully and unambiguously support [our political stance] simply does not belong in polite, modern society

That's extremely divisive and intolerant. Also, it's a cheap rhetorical trick to replace [political stance] with "doesn't want black people to be indiscriminately murdered". Literally no-one is arguing that black people should be indiscriminately murdered. Some people just want to do work at their workplace instead of engaging zealots in political debates that might lead to being cancelled at book burnings. That doesn't mean they want to genocide black people. You should learn to tolerate people who have political opinions different from yours.
Good on you for trusting your team and allowing for such experimentation! We need more people in management with this attitude.
I'd be interested in a user-focussed tool to interpret these system wide - perhaps even a service to share these reports and detect anomalies/trends.
The root comment was:

> The thing I hate about this line of thinking is the supposed "distractions" of being mission-focused are nearly all related simply to basic rights/dignities for marginalized groups. I don't think anyone is saying companies need to take a strong stance on every political issue, but merely saying "we as a company believe the lives of our Black employees matter" or "we as a company welcome and accept our LGBTQ+ employees and don't tolerate anyone who doesn't" are just...basic things you need to do in 2021. They aren't a distraction, I would say not saying them is a distraction.

The context is people asking the Coinbase CEO to make a statement about BLM. You can read about it here:

https://www.wired.com/story/turmoil-black-lives-matter-polit...

This is the start of the first paragraph of that article:

> IN EARLY JUNE, a week after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police, employees at Coinbase gathered, virtually, for an emotional meeting. In the previous few days, mirroring workplaces elsewhere, the company’s Slack channels had been filled with comments about the nationwide protests and demands for more support for Black employees. In the background hovered a specific question: Would Coinbase and its CEO, Brian Armstrong, make a public statement about Black Lives Matter and the racial justice movement, as so many Silicon Valley companies had?

I think it's fair to say here that the root comment changed the goalposts from "make a public statement about Black Lives Matter and the racial justice movement" to "merely saying "we as a company believe the lives of our Black employees matter"". Which, in that case, would fit my characterisation of that comment as a motte-and-bailey fallacy.

I appreciate your intent in keeping the discussion on topic, however in that case I think I was on topic.
For me, it was always classical orchestral music when writing new code and hard rock/heavy metal when debugging. The other way around ruined my focus on either task.
The way you picture politics as a wholly separate thing unrelated to the amount of consideration/kindness toward LGBT people or minorities is alien to me.

Twenty+ years ago, being visibly gay in a workplace was much less popular, to the point that many people made the choice between hiding that about themselves or facing a more hostile workplace. Things are very different today in many places. Did society just get overall kinder, or did it go through a political change?

In the past, asserting a visibly gay person warranted more consideration and kindness was definitely "political". Was there some point it wholly stopped being so?

I think you're overestimating the resiliency of cellular networks.

After the Katrina hurricane, the FCC mandated that cell sites have at least 8 hours of backup power (which isn't a lot when power can be out for days or weeks), but the industry sued and got the rule replaced with 'self-regulation', with the predictable result:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/dyv9j7/how-big-telecom-kille...

According to the latest report by the FCC, about 28.1 percent of the cell sites in the area impacted by Ida are offline, leaving hundreds of thousands of customers without service. Another 354,699 residents in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama remain without landline phone, cable, or broadband service.

https://www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/2021/08/31/cell-ser...

The FCC report shows that as of 11 a.m. Monday, 52% of 2,759 cellular sites across 31 Louisiana parishes were offline as a result of Hurricane Ida. The majority of the downed towers — nearly 65% — were offline due to a lack of power, a problem that could persist for weeks in some parts of the state. In some cases, cell sites are down due to multiple issues, such as power outages, damage to the network or damage to the site itself.

CoWs can help in a small disaster or providing service at a shelter, but when thousands of cell sites are offline, there's still going to be a lot of people cut off from communication.

> Do you consider ISDN separate from telephony or part of it?

It’s kinda of weird. I consider it telephony for sure (half of the TE’s I have are phones and a lot of equipment is T1/E1 equipment for PRI lines) but I also consider it under early computer data networks as it could carry X.25, Frame Relay and other types of traffic. It predates my time using computers a bit, but I believe it was also used for internet connections as uncommon as it was here.

In my experience, time boxing helps to manage stressful work. By this I mean to keep strict hours, for example 9-12 with an hour lunch, then 13-18:00, and getting off exactly on time.

Use lunch time to break up your day so that you mentally have progress rather than a uniform slog that you get if you eat at your desk. It also forces you to get stuff done asap and manage your work better.

Outside of work, side projects helped me stay mentally fit and overall happy, energized. Combined with exercise that will help you perform at work over time.

> Work, including who you work for, is an inherently political act.

Are you arguing that for instance working for a machine tooling company such as MAG is an inherently political act? If so, how?

What about working on a farm. How is that political?

What about working as a contractor for building homes. How is that political?

> The set of coworkers you have is a result of their and your political opinions.

I know many in silicon valley that disagree with critical social justice (CSJ) that work at companies that have been successfully taken over by critical social justice activists to push the CSJ doctrine.

Are you arguing that those people work with their woke colleagues and a woke company for political reasons? If so, how?

> He didn't simply ban politics at work, however: he just refused to acknowledge the Black Lives Matter movement. Prior to that Coinbase had Black History Month events they conducted; now they don't.

A lot of enterprises are regulated by politicians, so of cause they have an interest in better regulations, but what we are referring to here is radical activism for a social revolution.

Activist employees turning companies into vehicles for doing activism for a radical social revolution like critical social justice is rather new. Most agree that this is inappropriate and disruptive to the core company mission. Most of us are tired of our woke colleagues and their constant focus on politics over the company mission, always whining. I understand that you disagree with this.
EOS did the same subterfuge in the daily auction system when it launched.

There's nothing stopping the seller of the tokens (Richard Heart, or the EOS people Block.One) from taking the Ether received as proceeds from day one's auction and reusing it to participate themselves in the day 2 auction, receiving 50% of the day 2 tokens for free (the ether goes back to them) (plus the ether from the other 50% of token buyers), then recycling it in on day 3 to get 66%+ of the token issuance for free, et c. They actually end up getting even more, due to the fact that the self-dealing Ether pool increases each day as more legitimate customers send in money (and get a smaller and smaller payout per unit each passing day).

This way they end up with all of the ether that was spent by token purchasers, and the vast majority of all the issued tokens, too.

It's a brilliant scheme. It also makes it look like more and more customers are interested every day, too, when really the majority of each day's volume are just self-allocations of tokens via self-payments of Ether.

It's a similar scam as huge value NFT sales that make headlines. I imagine the majority of it is self-dealing via a proxy, for publicity and/or money laundering.
Ok, yes, the US spends a lot on the military, but the vast majority of taxes goes towards social programs (specifically SS and healthcare programs) and the current administration and majority of Democrats are trying to spend more on common infrastructure and additional social programs with an emphasis on families. It sucks that we have a terrible implementation of government that requires using vastly inefficient loopholes to fund programs, but it is what it is and we should do the best we can with it.
I think you’re making a lot of implicit assumptions here. For example, in this discussion there is no guarantee that the average current mortgage is the same as the mortgage held by the current landlord charging the prevailing rent. In my experience it’s pretty typical for rented houses to not be recently purchased.

If you have evidence that it’s the norm for landlords to rent below their operating costs, by all means provide it. But from what you’ve provided so far, I am unconvinced.
