No that the table would be taking into account many factors.

Even deciding to prioritise say a certain quality or skill work out what the bast candidate is from a score of say a total of 30/40 based on their application. Then shortlist to give the top few a chance at interview.

Performance at interview doesn't reflect the choice of who is interviewed. The choice of who gets to interview can be based on many factors and if it was important to choose a certain attribute then you can base your weighting on that. Ironically the exact equivalent I have is an example of something which isn't allowed because it discriminates, it was many as a very rough example.

This wasn't meant to be exact its a very rough example of a concept and not to be taken literally. Frankly three use of metrics like this are needed to explain brain dead comments like are you sure you're not biasing against certain applicants... To which we have to show no they just don't meet certain criterion.

Actually allowing the team to reach correct diversity ratios would probably only be a "good" metric to the bosses, bosses, boss. Again never has impact at interview as the hiring decision is made by a panel. Just shows were aware our field is dominated by older white males...

Agreed. Corporate know this can make money, and they do it. Managing your expenses is not their job,…which is, yeah, probably true. But there are things called social responsibility, too.

I can see it happened with numerous service (at least in my country) that give users loan via an app, without usual paperworks. But many of said people are the one that have problem with their money management or lack financial literacy in the first place, and this add even more debt to theirs.

Giant corporation prey on ignorance of already struggling people. Ruthless, when you think about it.

The key issue with buses and trains in traffic is they're slower than a car, so people don't want to use it because it's a shittier experience. When you grade separate they become independent of traffic and thus better than driving so people end up using it more.

Cars vs. transit is a pure throughput issue. You will never, even with 14 lane highways, beat one grade separated transit line with how many people you can move per hour. Eventually you run out of land with roads and cars, with trains you effectively do not.

Super ultra real to me, confirms what feels like the late state of play. Super hard to get stuff started when life everywhere feels so damned expensive. So new value fails to take root & start. And- here's a little more of a gyess- the systems that be ossify.
I kind of wonder why there hasnt been an "uber for bus" yet.

I imagine a fleet of buses directed by sophisticated scheduling and navigation algorithms.

Users select a destination and pick up point, along with an arrival time. Discounts for ordering 1 day early to aid with scheduling. Pay extra to have the algorithm favor a shorter travel time for you.

System makes dynamic smart routes for buses to get people to where they want to go. Make it good at predicting arrival times so people can rely on it.

Seems like such an obvious next step for the whole uber/app-based-transport model. Not sure why nobody has tried it yet.
My question is: who is deciding what is the correct reality to perceive?

For example, this from their questionnaire:

>Kim’s friends told her that she could not come to the concert with them because
they were unable to get enough tickets for everyone. Kim knows they probably
didn’t exclude her on purpose, but she feels rejected. Therefore, part of her
believes she was rejected

What in such a scenario gives the impetus to the charitable interpretation (that they simply could not get tickets)? which they seem to indicate would be what a 'well-adjusted' person free of cognitive distortion would assume.

Secondly, while intentionality can be important, why is there so much weight seemingly being placed on it these days (or is that just my perception?) People can intend one thing and harmful outcomes still result. One could drive drunk without any intention of anything bad happening and still get into an accident. One could fire a gun randomly into the air with no intention of harming anyone and the bullets still come down and hit someone.

The main intent, it seems to me, at least by some, is to obscure the notion that humans and systems may act in ways contrary to their expressed intent. Much atrocity and discrimination has been predicated on actions justified by philanthropic intent, ie 'elevating the savages'.

And I wonder if a person free of cognitive distortions would even be referred to as human, as the quote goes:

If you're looking for a website builder to import them into and host I built https://versoly.com/

It has a code editor to import/edit/export code and has a no-code mode for marketers.

When I freelanced my #1 problem was clients asking for small updates such as a button changes, padding adjustments and adding new sections. I built Versoly to solve that while still being enjoyable for developers.

Usual questions from devs

- Does it include hosting? Yes

- Where is it hosted? AWS on s3/cloudfront

- Can i export code? yes

- Do the pages load fast? 99/100 on mobile

They were making something that would be recognizable as a book (or booklet) at least as early as late republic, which ties in to my point that the format has been refined a long time.
I don't think any of the conjectures in the article are actual loopholes, because exploiting them would be inhibited by the checks and balances built in to the Constitution. If any of them were exercised, it would have to be done with the cooperation of substantial majorities of elected officials, and thus presumably with considerable popular support. Since the Founders envisioned that the Constitution could and perhaps should eventually be nullified by popular action, I think that if such a thing happened it would not follow that it has loopholes.

Here's an actual loophole:

The Vice President, as President of the Senate, could prevent the Senate from conducting any business, including passing laws such as budgets, and thus could bring the federal government to a standstill. The VP could threaten to do this and blackmail other elected officials to do as commanded, or else.

The Vice President couldn't be removed, because all impeachments are tried in the Senate, and as President of the Senate the VP could block all such proceedings.

One example of quality design which I gleaned from reading Don Norman's "The Design Of Everyday Things" is the metal plate I've frequently seen on doors which are meant to be pushed.

The only affordance of such a plate is its push-ability, and the fact that someone actively installed a metal plate (instead of just relying on the door's natural flatness), as well as its location at the point of maximum leverage (all the way to the right of the door, in the door's vertical center), is a clear signifier for such push-ability.

Not only that, but it does its job without offering any other confusing affordances (such as a vertical handle which is also technically pushable, but which many would interpret as being meant to be pulled).

Whenever I need a relatable, succinct example of affordances and signifiers for my engineering comrades, I turn to this one. Anyone interested in design is doing themselves a dis-service by not reading Don Norman's classic.

Ask HN: Joining a startup right after fund raising?
I received an offer from a medium-sized startup recently. The overall package is comparable to my current job but the equity grant is based on a recent round that might have just been finalized, and is not publicly announced yet.

The latest round roughly 10x the valuation from last round six month ago. The valuation can be inflated because it is a crypto startup. The investors clearly wanted to get in, but I am worried about taking the same risk as a new employee.

Any advice on

- how to negotiate the equity grant? Have people seen startup offers to be based on previous valuations instead of the current valuation, assuming the fund raising is super recent. (Of course, I am not thinking about the valuation from six month ago, but I assume there are reasonable recent valuations before the current round)

- If I can't negotiate up the equity grant, should I hold off from joining for a couple months? My thinking is that the valuation is unlikely to go up even more in the short term, but maybe it is irrational to think that the risk for joining a startup is highest right after fund raising.

PL/I was an order of magnitude step from Fortran and Cobol. The earlier languages made direct calls to the operating system while PL/I used subroutine librairies to do the operating system heavy lifting. The library routines in many cases would produce messages of various utility (usually with the number of the failing statement) instead of causing the application to terminate aka ABEND.

Yes, you can use bit strings in PL/I, but the subroutine overhead was ginormous.

This is simply the worst case of PL/I data conversion routines. PUT EDIT and GET EDIT are somewhat less costly.

Structures are a two edged sword. Best to have them STATIC in the owning routine and have them based on pointers for other routines. Otherwise the prolog code can dwarf the code that does useful work.

PICTURE works very well in structures. Assigning between structures with fields of the same name in one PICTURE, and the other in machine format can often be performed without resort to data conversion routines.

Bottom line: Many advertised features are costly while PL/I offers remarkably efficient alternatives.
If you're proficient in building and delivering projects, that's a great start, but unfortunately (and sometimes surprisingly) not the most important thing. I would say at this point it's sales.

Personally I would build a marketing website showing off your skills, talking about why your the right person for the job, and ideally, some examples of what you have done (these don't need to be live/online, can just be case studies with some description on the problem, your solution, the tech, how it helped the customer etc). A random example I just googled: https://www.fromthemountain.co.za.

But at this stage don't overthink it. Just get something up, something you can link to and point people towards.

Finding projects (sales) will be the hardest thing. Personally I would recommend steering clear of freelancer/upwork/blahblah, as it's all a race to the bottom. Maybe its good to get started, but generally I would first look towards your own circle of contacts.

I started as a freelancer 10 years ago, then levelled that up into a custom software agency, and last year sold to a larger company. I'm (slowly) writing my experiences over at devtoagency.com - whilst they are written more towards a freelancer who wants to start an agency, perhaps some posts would be useful to you, e.g. this one about asking friends and family for referrals https://www.devtoagency.com/referrals-from-friends-and-famil...

Good luck. Going out on my own was the best thing I ever did.
I don't think this is a particularly serious attempt at a programming language but it's impressive coming from a 13 year old.
> For example, this from their questionnaire:

You get more free GB but once you do they’re at the full original price. Busy sites won’t see any meaningful reduction in their bills, and smaller sites we’ll need to be mindful of this as they grow. Another way of looking at this is that they’re giving up the first $8.50/$85 of egress charges but only that first part — if you’re paying substantially more, that’s how much your bill is going down.

What it does do, however, is favor their CDN over the competition. If you use Cloudflare, Fastly, Akamai, etc. you used to pay roughly the same egress rate as a CloudFront customer, but now you hit the free tier limit 10 times faster.
I worked at a small ISP/web host in the late 90s. A very common web server at the time was a cheap white box PC running Windows NT and IIS. We had many of these systems on this interesting “rack” that was more like a multi level table or three d chess board.

These systems could handle a ton of traffic very reliably. Consider that there was very little dynamic content and what there was barely taxed the CPU at all (e.g. a Perl CGI script to query and display some tiny amount of data from (LOL!) an Access database.

Coincidentally enough, on Monday I had a call with my AWS account rep, she was asking what plans we had for the next year. I told her that we were evaluating some of our spend to see if there were places we could economize, but our biggest plan was to move from S3+Cloudfront to Cloudflare R2. "Have you heard of R2?" "No, I'll check with one of my S3 engineers and get back to you."

Sounds like SOMEBODY over there is trying to address the Bandwidth Alliance announcement.
> If you don't think AWS bandwidth pricing is something in the real world I don't know what to say :) AWS is now broken out in Amazon financials - worth a look to see what they are raking in and the margins they are getting in the real world :)

This comment confirms that you have a misunderstanding of how organizations can and have bought bandwidth via high-cap Internet offerings in the real world given how you've misunderstood my argument completely. My point is that organizations like AWS, Cloudflare, GCP, and many, many organizations around the world still buy Internet connectivity this way (directly). My unchanged statement, all along, has been regarding the egregious margins AWS makes on bandwidth that they charge for in a very asymmetric and oversubscribed manner. It's hard to have an conversation about these things when the basis for how businesses operate aren't understood by those making comments, unfortunately.

> His entire business depends on the fact that AWS pricing is clear and public.

I'm not sure how many enterprise agreements you've helped derive or review, but you can get agreed pricing from any cloud vendor - Cloudflare included. If you're spending any amount monthly beyond what appears to be a personal account this is not your issue.
Yes, I misread. But I would still scrutinize the reasoning expressed by the sample for the same reasons.
Yeah, so why did my comment get flagged?
> What in such a scenario gives the impetus to the charitable interpretation (that they simply could not get tickets)?

The cognitive distortion is taking uncertainty and replacing it with the worst possible interpretation.

Or, inserting artificial uncertainty into a direction and using that opening to pretend that an alternate explanation is true.

> People can intend one thing and harmful outcomes still result. One could drive drunk without any intention of anything bad happening and still get into an accident. One could fire a gun randomly into the air with no intention of harming anyone and the bullets still come down and hit someone.

Your examples aren't really relevant, though, because they have concrete and definitive harms.

The article is about imagined harms that only arise from different subjective interpretations of something. There is no subjective interpretation of getting hit by a bullet or killed by a drunk driver in which the person isn't harmed. Claiming good intent doesn't bring someone back from the dead.

You're making the mistake of equating speech with violence, which is explicitly discussed in the paper.
https://www.hetzner.com/cloud gives you 20TB bandwidth for €3.49/mo VMs, which I've essentially regarded as Hetzner gives unlimited free bandwidth for all servers.

Being lynched for egregious egress fees is only something I've experienced when using mega corp's clouds, where economies of scale suggests their vastly larger size should allow them to provide even better value.

But that's in a normal market, not the artificial lock-in mega cloud corps enjoy where they're able to distort customer behavior from artificially high pricing.
I must disagree with you on maps. Google maps is a fantastic geographic aware search.

It is a horrific map. On any given screen there is an 80% chance that the major road I'm interested in is not labeled. Finding the name of a relevant cross street is a nightmare.

I feel like it used to be better. Way better. I think the map aspect has been dropped entirely as a real feature now that they supply directions (search) primarily instead.
Thermal regulating shower/bath faucets are relatively common: https://www.deltafaucet.com/design-innovation/innovations/sh...

Actually, no you didn't misread. I did.
