Quick calculations, I’ll leave conclusions to the reader. All numbers from quick googling.

The standard guidance is 1 gallon (~4 liters) of water per day, via all sources (includes food). A gallon weighs a little more than 8 pounds, so that’s 80+ pounds of water for ten days (not counting container, backpack, and whatever else you’re schlepping). Weight will decrease each day, but that’s a lot of weight up front. Backpackers usually try to carry half that, but 80 isn’t out of the question if you’re conditioned for it (eg US ground military carry 60-100 lbs).

A gallon a day is probably overkill for a short term survival situation, though. Having less, especially while you’re exerting yourself, may cause damage, but the survival goal is just to come out the other side.

Some quick googling on actual minimums to survive turned up this thread, where someone calculated it to be 1 liter per day while resting in a cool environment. So that’s 20lbs that needs to be adjusted upward for carrying significant weight offtrail in potentially hot conditions.

If you split the difference and assume strict rationing, you’re looking at 50lb start weight and suffering significant but not incapacitating dehydration. Brutal, but conceivable.

>You'd think the disc players would be smart enough to do a good job mapping HDR to SDR, but here we are.

I suspect the reason is that SDR and HDR have separate color grading/correction applied, so it's basically impossible to automatically convert HDR to SDR. Or in other words, "automatic" conversion from HDR to SDR inevitably looks bad, so production studios manually redo the color correction for SDR.
This is not going to cover 2 years, and I don't think I've ever been part of a hiring pipeline where this would actually pass by unnoticed. The fact they appear to let you glide over it, doesn't mean no one is going to bring it back up on it on the backend of things... but by then you won't be around to clarify and people are sometimes liable to assume the worst.

You're better off coming up with an upfront answer. And I'll be realistic... even if that means you have to lie.

In an ideal world you could just be honest and no one would ever discriminate. And if someone did discriminate and it cost you a job you'd say "well I dodged a bullet".

But in the real world people have bills to pay. So even if you're going to lie, figure it out deeply. Have something to show for it, or be very prepared to explain why you don't have anything to show for it.

-

Also on a more personal level, if I'm in a hiring pipeline and someone has a large absence, I don't really care. That being said the biggest thing they can do based on my experience is ask good questions.

Ask questions that make it clear you're ready to work there. Ask questions like you already got hired for that matter: "what are the difficult things about our job" "what are some domain specific challenges" "does the commute suck" etc.

> the only thing they have is two unhappy clients

It depends.

When it comes to clients (in a freelancer context) there's usually a well-defined scope of work and deliverable. As long as that work & deliverable is delivered satisfactorily there shouldn't be a problem. Going above & beyond that for long periods of time is usually a waste of time if it isn't reciprocated in the form of better compensation for the next deal, and since the primary (only?) reason to take 2 jobs is money I'm assuming this clearly isn't happening here.

When it comes to employers, the scope of work/deliverable is less defined, but assuming he's meeting his employers' expectations and performance reviews, the same would apply - going above & beyond as an individual contributor is rarely monetarily rewarded from my experience, similar to how you need to switch jobs every few years to maximize your comp because companies don't adequately reward their existing employees.

> you are just scamming the people paying you in my opinion

I disagree.

The "scam" is that employers have a set of expectations (that they enforce via the job description/responsibilities and performance reviews) but want to extract more value beyond that without adequate compensation (otherwise the job responsibilities would include those duties to begin with, and prospective employees can judge whether the offered compensation is adequate) out of employees who might not be aware of their true market value. Employers are essentially gambling with undefined odds; I don't see anything wrong with skewing those odds in your favour.

If this guy can truly do their day's duties in 2 hours, their employer should either redraft their contract to expect 2 hours for the same pay or offer them 80% more pay to work the entire day. If the employer is not willing to do that I'd argue they are the ones scamming people.

Also, let's ignore the concept of multiple jobs and say he's working 2 hours and spending the rest of his time making art or some other non-lucrative activity. To the employer there should be no difference in either case.

> Also, it's a small world out there, tarnished reputations have a hard time finding good work.

1) He replied above with a breakdown of the comp - he's making ~900k total. If he can keep up the charade for a few years and save enough money to retire early, why does it matter? Industry people can be badmouthing him all they want, but he's got a nice house, maybe a family and a non-tech job just to occupy time.

As I grow older (in tech career terms) I realize more and more that the ideal of a "successful tech startup founder" staying in the industry forever is an unlikely dream and focusing on yourself is a better strategy for most people.

2) I have a hard time believing every shitty startup out there has some kind of direct line to a "registry of bad employees"; please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like in the current market, short of a criminal record anyone can get a job provided they can put up with bullshit hiring processes & tech tests and have some experience.
I have helped multiple friends into government housing. Housing didn't suddenly cure their addictions or absolve them of mental health problems. It doesn't remove the victim mindset. Resources such as education and work can only be done if the individual is prepared to do it. But we don't have good resources, therefore the problems are cyclical.

Trusting the word of people is not representative of what they actually do. All of these people claimed to want X but make no effort towards it. People lie, especially to themselves.
I love those articles but that cool bear character's a bit annoying.
I don’t think you understand the point at issue here. You can communicate things that are true, and still be misleading.

For example, if a preponderance of articles about Africa are about something that does not really affect the life of the vast majority of Africans, it gives a misleading impression of how life in Africa is actually like.

That you miss this basic understanding is baffling. A trope or cliche is not false. It is precisely a trope and cliche because, although true, it is misleading overall.

That’s why I have the example of the mass shootings, the point of which you seems to have missed. If all writing about America is framed within the mass shootings, that would be a very one-dimensional view of the US indeed. Writers who perpetuate a fixation on narrow and naive cliches do a lot of damage because the stories that need to be told are being displaced by what is meaningless

Another example is what TFA mentions: if almost all books about Africa have this ridiculous image of an acacia tree on the cover (although there are indeed acacia trees in Africa), it means they don’t actually educate about the varied landscapes and cityscapes of Africa.
And a different edge of said window expanded to include actual ethno-fascists.

This is not whataboutism, just want to portray the scenario in a more complete light.
I joined HN 12 years ago and I don't remember things that way at all. My impression is that it's extremely rare for anyone to claim that FB's demise is imminent, but it seems like it has become more common for HN posters to comment on FB's decline in recent years. ...but you could say the same thing for Apple, Amazon, Netflix, and Google as well -- it doesn't seem to be FB specific to me.
I just found myself logged out of 2 of the 4 places I usually use HN from. Found this thread in the search so I figured I'd mention it.
The green tint was not part of the original theatrical release. The green tint was used in the sequels and then added back to the DVD/Blu Ray release of the original movie.

You can go on Youtube and watch trailers for the original theatrical release and compare them to clips posted from later DVD releases. For example here is a comparison of the original theatrical trailer to a fan made trailer using clips off of the DVD using the infamous "Guns... lots of guns..." scene:

https://youtu.be/tGgCqGm_6Hs?t=91

To this:

https://youtu.be/atqOCj3qzzA?t=110

You can compare other scenes as well, it's clear the original film had no green tint and in fact I personally like it better without the tint.
I'm shocked that FB has so many votes here.

FB may be getting slaughtered by the media, hated by both the left and the right, but the truth is no one is actually leaving FB. It's still the #1 place to find restaurants, buy/sell used items, neighborhood groups, etc etc etc. And if FB Proper were to ever fall behind, IG still has a lot of stamina left.

I don't think it will happen any time soon, but I would like to see Apple decline. Their ideals and design and software quality from the previous decades are nowhere to be seen. Their software and UX especially have suffered from mismanagement, and I wonder how bad it will need to get before people start switching away. The alternatives are still behind, but the gap is closing in a bad way.

'critical to note that she is just recounting of her own perception of herself.'

Tara is outlining why she quit a job she couldn't do anymore because the CBC were ignoring important local stories to focus on CRT, identity politics and racialization of everything, biased reporting and click bait.

'People want to know why, for example, non-binary Filipinos concerned about a lack of LGBT terms in Tagalog is an editorial priority for the CBC, when local issues of broad concern go unreported. Or why our pop culture radio show’s coverage of the Dave Chappelle Netflix special failed to include any of the legions of fans, or comics, that did not find it offensive. Or why, exactly, taxpayers should be funding articles that scold Canadians for using words such as “brainstorm” and “lame.”'

Most journalists know if they get paid they are expected to promote the owner's views - the line between pr and journalism is a fine one - but that they will be promoting wholesome, useful values and information. When the owners lurch too far people leave, both writers and readers/viewers, leaving a weak core.

Google's algorithms didn't create this situation; people chasing high Google rankings did. Had Google used completely different algorithms yet became equally dominant, people still would have poured their hearts and souls into getting higher rankings.

Basically, an application of the tragedy of the commons. Or: "why we can't have nice things".
> Can you show me an example of technical terrain where this line would be drawn?

I'm not sure where the line is, but here is a video of a local mtb park I used to ride a lot and it might give you a good idea: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFYcnQTcmrw

It's pretty rocky and you can carry a ton of speed in some parts. It will definitely eat up cheaper bikes if you aren't careful.

If you want to find more examples of why cheaper bikes struggle to handle that type of stuff, I'd look up "walmart bikes vs mtb trail" or something along those lines on youtube. Lots of videos and they are usually somewhat entertaining. That said, your bike looks better than those and if you respect its limits, then it should be okay. The trails you describe sound fine for that type of bike, just be careful on hard bumps and stuff.
Cool, it's impressive how much can it do with a short sample, although this seems like an easy way for end users to deep fake their friends / enemies saying something.

Not a metaphor. The general theory of relativity is proof of work, so is a bridge. Being too big to fail is an example of proof of stake in a system and how it can be gamed.

> an ever-increasing difficulty in the case of Bitcoin (getting worse with time, on purpose)

This is not how Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment works. It increases/decreases with the value of the block reward. This is proportional to the value of bitcoin, transaction fees paid, and decreasing new bitcoin issuance. Bitcoin users pay miners for their PoW because they find the value of using such a system to be worth the cost.
The main points of this article (roughly, that the supposedly-centrist-but-actually-left-wing media now cares more about wokeness than real news) have been made prominently and continuously since the days of Rush Limbaugh. The old joke about liberal media coverage of the apocalypse ("WORLD ENDS, WOMEN AND MINORITIES HIT HARDEST") dates from 1988.
Almost exclusively when Americans talk about Sweden being "left" they are talking about economic issues. Parental leave (480 days!) mandated by the state, single-payer healthcare, free college, huge amounts of vacation time (8+ weeks on average, 34 days by law!), assistance with childcare, etc.

Compare that to the US with a mandatory rehiring after taking unpaid maternity (only) leave of up to 12 weeks, a complex healthcare system which causes people to go into debt, expensive college costing tens of thousands a semester, 0 (yes zero) vacation time by law, etc.

(I should note that some states goes further than that, but it's very dependent on the state and the most liberal example might be California's generous 6-week paternity policy.)

Anyone advocating any of the economic policies from Sweden I described in the US would be described in the same breath as Bernie Sanders and Fidel Castro.
I am reminded of the Boeing MCAS debacle, except instead of runaway trim, you now have "runaway steering wheel", and far less time to react...
I'm not sure why you asked this question because it seems like you dismiss anyone that argues this is a bad idea.

Regardless intent is a major aspect of ethics. If you told any one of your employers you have multiple other "full time" jobs, you'd be instantly fired. You know this. Therefore what you're doing is deceptive at best but more realistically you're blatantly scamming your employers.

Short term you'll make a lot of money, long term you're picking up pennies in front of a bull dozer.
> My impression was that D&I initiatives are far more prevalent in tech/SV companies than elsewhere

Well of course, blacks in the US are over 12% of the population and are 12% of the L5s in FAANG companies.

Which of course is not the case - less than 2% of Facebook's technical workers in the US are black, 3% of Google overall is black etc.

It's clear that diversity is not prevalent at all in Google, Facebook etc.
You are absolutely correct.

It all starts with better nutrition. CAFO cows that end up at the supermarket are fed low-quality grains and feedstocks, rather than grass that they were evolved to eat. The difference between grain and grass fed beef is amazing.

USDA processing is a complete farce. I can only sell locally, because I am not willing to send my animals to such facilities. Instead, I can only sell here in my home state, because that's the only way I can say that my animals were born, raised, and died humanely on my farm. The butcher will drop them where they stand, eating a final meal in the conditions that they were raised.

If I want to go with USDA in order to sell my products out of state, by the cut, or to resellers (e.g. restaurants), then I must load my animals onto a trailer, haul them almost two hours away, and allow them to suffer the trauma of that experience before finally being slaughtered in inhumane conditions. I can tell you right away: that experience severely damages the quality of the meat.

Big ranches can afford their own USDA facilities, but small farms must share the slowly dwindling number of processors that still serve the public. There are less than two dozen in my entire state, so you currently need to book them further out than the entire lifespan of the animals that you plan to raise. Right now, my processor has completely booked 2022; a new farmer cannot get any animals processed there until 2023!

Seriously, fuck the USDA.
Unfortunately, I think a lot of people implicitly or explicitly defend "wokeism" as interpreted in the most severe and uncharitable way.

I try to be charitable in my assumptions, but even then, it's hard to argue that it's safe to criticize any DIE or "woke" initiative. There always seems to be some risk in being fired/blacklisted or otherwise attacked for even modest criticism of the DIE movement.

Andrei Tarkovsky:

> If you look for a meaning, you'll miss everything that happens

> What matters to me is that they arouse feelings, any feelings you like, based on whatever your inner response might be.

That's great and I like introspective and symbolic films, but arousing feelings is not Zen. Tarkovsky wants us to think less and feel more, which I think characterizes most art. Some people might say something like "I feel good about cats but I feel bad about dogs" (as an example) or "there is a special melancholy in the dawn fog." This is all well and good and what it is to be human, but feelings are subjective and about personal identity and experience. There is nothing inherently good or bad about one or the other when you compare cats and dogs. That's about you, not about cats or dogs. Likewise, there is nothing melancholic about morning fog. Other people might feel intense joy at they way it burns off as the sun rises. Others might feel sad and go back to sleep.

Zen not only gets under the thinking, it gets under the feeling, to experience reality as it is without judgement or processing. Zen is seeing things clearly and calmly. It's clarity without the filter of thoughts and feelings.

I can't know how other people experience the world so I can't tell if my way of achieving clarity is the way other people, such as a Japanese Zen master, experience clarity. Tarkovsky may have achieved his clarity through emotional intelligence and that's what he puts in his films. I'm grateful to have found a way that works for me. It's really no concern of mine that other's have a different way. There is no one way but that's an opinion of mine. When in doubt, I meditate and wait for the clarity to return.
An other thing does not help is how some sites gate content from being scraped. Also forums are not as popular today again reducing the amount of indexable content. Think about some sites have migrated from using forums to something like discord.
Yeah, this is the logic and data that I used. I plan on engaging in fairly 'risky' behavior when I can (social dancing), so I'm assuming I'll catch Covid at some stage, so I'd rather catch it with a vaccine (as I think the risk of vaccine+covid is less than unvaccinated covid). At current rates of 20,000 cases/day, everyone in New South Wales will get Omicron in just over a year, so unless you totally isolate yourself from society, it's highly likely everyone will catch it at some point.
All that cost, and they still screwed up with the 737MAX...
The Mediamass Project: Media criticism through satire
"In the US, it would be required that the doctors report it to the VAERS database."

From my personal experience and what I've heard online, that seems like wishful thinking. I know two people who had bad heart reactions to the vaccine whose doctors insisted it couldn't be from the vaccine and wouldn't speak of it being connected. And it seems like I've heard similar stories online dozens of times. My guess is the VAERS data dramatically undercounts incidents.

The Pfizer whistleblower paper claimed that even in the early days of the vaccine, internal Pfizer incidents weren't even reported. And given how hostile the entire internet is to discussions of vaccine safety, the idea that people are extremely reluctant to report vaccine injuries seems believable.
