It sounded incomprehensible to me too but as I did some more learning about the process of building rocket engines I learned some interesting details. First, remember that people have been making high strength metals through careful processing for thousands of years. Second, the parts of engines are not made as part of large-scale industrialized manufacturing. Almost all the parts are made as few-offs, with far more energy, time, and effort put into making sure that a single instance of something is extremely reliable. Third, we got damn good at materials science in the past 100 year, and metals can be absurdly resistant to deformation under heat.
I don't think "straight up illegal" is quite right. More like discrimination is illegal and if they ask then don't hire you, then they're practically asking you to sue them. They might deny it of course.
Texas Tech is a fantastic school. If he chooses to go there and majors in a STEM field, he'll have a bright future.
I also use automatic tests, and most of the time it's the tests inside the functions that detect the error - because the tests runs the code. It's much more simple then trying to prove correctness before the program haven't even run once.

It's useful for this much at least: If I'm in the registry, and someone calls me anyway, then I know that they're uninterested in following the law (modulo the exceptions you point out). That makes me uninterested in their offer, whatever it is. I don't do business with people whose first action is to lie to me, and I don't do business with people who break the law to contact me.
Good point. The software in this space should be open source. This is the only way you can trust it.
For one, phabricator is only used for code reviews, not for issue tracking which is managed by bugzilla. Github issues are nowhere near usable for a large product such as gecko/firefox.

I don't think it's necessary to change recreational activities to use fewer automobiles. Plenty of folks in Europe and East Asia participate in sports with lots of equipment and still take trains.

First you read that chart wrong. 94,130 people make between 1M and 1.5M from the data you linked, an additional 34,060 make 1,500,000.00 — 1,999,999.99 etc. The actual number is (167,593,971 + 358 - 167,409,340) = 184,989 Americans make over 1M per year based on SSA data. Next that number is a massive underestimate based on how SSA calculates wages due to how Federal income taxes are calculated and the normal tax avoidance strategies used to minimize that W-2 number.

Beyond that the relevant question is not what percentage of people currently make that much money out of all people or even all workers. The relevant question is what percentage of people that aim for it eventually make that money. If hypothetically people make 1+M for on average 7 years of their life then your looking at something like ~10 x 184,989 people or roughly 1 out of every 180 people in the population. But again not everyone is in the running, a Teacher is hardly aiming to climb the corporate ladder to millions. Depending who you cut out the actual odds might be as high as 1-5%.

And of course ignoring actors etc who might make that much money but aren’t getting it on a W-2.

PS: To see just how biased official income statistics are try and calculate Bill Gates official lifetime taxable income some time vs how much his current net worth + total donations + 2.4B divorce added up to even ignoring all actual spending.

For Stripe/Coinbase, 74%/89% eng hiring out of Bay Area. Today, a lot of that hiring could be happening in other parts of the US. But before you cheer too much about that, consider that the shareholders of those companies are already looking for ways to hire outside US. After all, if your setup can accommodate someone from Kansas, how hard is it to onboard someone from Canada or Mexico?

A data point - my company is already hiring more than half of the new hires outside the USA. Or to paraphrase a politician, that whirring sound you are hearing is one of the last remaining sources of good jobs getting sucked out of the country.

Several reasons:

* Square displays are what's readily available in the VR form factor (2-3" diagonal)

* Rectangular displays will murder your minimum IPD, which kills accessibility for a lot of users

* Reducing the size/increasing pixel density makes the optics exponentially more complex. We're already pushing the limits of what's possible without pancake lenses.

* Pancake lenses are a nightmare of complexity when you want high-quality images. Ghost images, low transmission, etc. all increase development cost by a lot. And the unit cost is significantly higher, but that's not an issue here (the NREs are the main cost driver)
>Yes, but they are told their whole life "after college, you'll make enough to pay it off easy, no problem!"

If anything, the predominant messaging today is the exact opposite of that. It also doesn't matter because public loans qualify for income based repayment, so it doesn't matter. If you end up stuck working at McDonalds for the rest of your life, you'll never pay back a dime.

Interesting, (as an American myself) I've never heard an American use uni outside of conversation with Europeans.
Anti-vaxxing isn't dissent, so weird to see Americans still politicize it. If you want to be a public health hazard I'm all for putting you on a list.

It's incredibly gross and tone deaf to compare that to the beginnings of the holocaust, especially coming from Americans who live in a country that still commits genocide whenever it wants. Whether that's forcibly sterilizing native americans or selling arms to Saudi Arabia so they can massacre Yemeni people.

What do I think of government lists of dissenters? They already exist and it's cute to act otherwise. We're talking about the country that assassinated Fred Hampton, of course the three letter agencies keep lists. That hasn't changed since the 70s besides getting worse.
Would you spend all day working in VR?

A few months ago, I would say no.

> I've had multiple people telling me that "we saw people with fewer and less polished projects get jobs".

I have a few projects on github. NO... ONE... EVER... LOOKS. Maybe they will do a cursory glance, but I've never had anyone actually look through them in any detail.

Sure, if you created a library with some decent traction and have a good amount of stars, it might help. But for your average developer with personal projects, no one has the time to look at your code. Even for someone with a hit project, they are still probably just looking at your stars as a proxy for your ability to write production code and not your actual code. There is so much HN advice focusing on having projects to show people and I think it's mostly bad advice.

Here's my two cents:

1) Pay someone professional to look over your resume. If you aren't getting interviews this might be a factor. It'll cost you a few hundred dollars and may potentially earn back many many times that amount. Bonus: Have them look over your linkedin profile as well.

2) Find companies on linkedin that you'd potentially want to interview with. Send messages to developers there. This might required a paid linkedin account for a few months, but again, think of it as an investment. Have your resume on dropbox or similar and then include a URL with a link to your resume in there, since I don't think linkedin allows attachments.

3) Interview, interview, interview. The interview process is very imperfect and it sucks. But every time you fail, go back and see where you went wrong. Eventually you will see that a lot of companies ask the same questions with small twists, so practice makes perfect here.

4) Don't sweat it when you get rejected. Remember it's a numbers game. More interviews == more chances to get an offer. You only need one job at a time.
I agree with @isotarical. Instead of using adjectives that you'd find in gamer subs on reddit, it would sound more professional and less condescending if you were more specific i.e. use the stuff you have in your comparison matrix as the talking point

That said, marketing is really hard, and you're still doing a better job than me.

> Sanitizing the input is wrong. Actively, objectively, unrecoverably wrong.

I agree on the “unrecoverably” (sic) part, but strongly disagree on words like “objectively”. It can be bad only if the input sanitization is poorly done. If that’s poorly done, then it’s also likely that the output sanitization may be poorly done. One cannot then say that output sanitization is objectively bad because someone doesn’t know or care enough to do it properly.

This is a complex topic that deserves more attention, not hand waving away with claims that cannot stand on their own.
Where users debias information
No, I don't. I've clearly stated several times that negative effects will happen. You can slap your favorite label on it, not everyone who doesn't immediately agree with your absolutely ridiculous take is a denier and you can't just shame people into nodding their head. I never, not once, said it isn't real. Again, read about climate change and you'll actually know something about it.
We have a 7-seater for extended family. My nephews come over a lot, so that allows us to transport all four children, two to three adults, and a small amount of shopping bags or picnic supplies.

The fuel efficiency isn't great, but that's why our primary vehicle is a sedan that seats four (plug-in hybrid). Generally we use the sedan, except for large shopping trips or when needing the larger seating capacity.
Yes, but I'd say the old Accord is still closer to a new Civic than a new Accord. For example:

1990 Accord (source: https://hondanews.com/en-US/honda-automobiles/releases/relea...)

Legroom 42.6/34.3
Hiproom 52.4/52.4
Shoulder: 54.8/54.8
Passenger volume: 93 cu ft
Cargo volume: 14.4 cu ft

2022 Civic (source: https://owners.honda.com/vehicles/information/2002/Civic-Sed...)

Legroom: 42.2/36
Hiproom: 51.2/49.8
Shoulder: 52.6/52
Passenger volume: 91.4 cu ft
Cargo volume: 12.9 cu ft

2021 Honda Accord (source: )
Legroom: 42.3/40.4
Hiproom: 55.3/55
Shoulder: 58.3/56.5
Passenger volume: 102.7 cu ft
Cargo volume: 16.7 cu ft

Though granted - too lazy to do the calculations right now, but I imagine a 1990 Honda Accord might be priced closer to a 2002 Honda Civic than Accord too.
Agreed. Tim was an old friend of mine in university, but we lost touch over the years. He was always a good, quirky, creative, and talented guy. He bought an old cosmonaut suit on ebay on a lark and started doing funny/silly photo shoots with it and then photo shoots at rocket launches and then real educational stuff. It's been wild to see it take off (pun intended).

why hire you over a younger graduate?

"In a few cases (N < 5) families were dropped from the comparison group because some history of sexual abuse was ascertained."

I think you are misinterpreting. First, they say:

"...information was obtained about any possible unwanted sexual experiences of the comparison females or other family members"

So interpreting it as 5 of 84 women is incorrect. It's min 5 people of 84 families. Given a mean family size of perhaps 3.5 (if by "family" they mean "nuclear family", though I bet they include anyone you know about really--Uncle Bob would count, and one report per family with reports) it's more like 5 out of 294 people, or 1.7%. And I don't think they share their exclusion criteria, which isn't a good sign. And there's a significant selection bias given how they recruited (in a newspaper, for people who have the free time and/or low wealth enough to want to do a study, and in particular on female growth and development).

I think your comment is getting attention because you're offering an idea that people like, and some anecdata to back it up. It's a classic problem of the modern world, things that people want to believe get a lot of attention, out of proportion to their actual frequency. I think you, and others here, want to believe the situation is worse than it is, or worse than the data here warrant believing, because you're going to get rewarded for acting as if the appealing idea is the case. I don't mean you are sitting there, consciously thinking that, but the rewards (here some updoots on HN) shape your behavior behind the scenes anyway. This is how we get news that paints a grotesquely distorted view of the world: people want to hear about how a crazed soccer mom murdered all her kids in the bathtub, and critically it is profitable. They don't want to hear that everything was fine in Peoria, IL last night.

I would bet a lot of money that the picture you paint with the study's numbers is substantially false. For one, your interpretation of the numbers they give is wrong. Second, the study doesn't appear well done. It's a little old, but it also has a lot of indicators that it isn't of high quality (e.g., lots of "p<0.05", but no "p<0.001"--see p curves). I haven't read it in detail and won't because my spidey senses say it's not worth it based on what I've seen skimming.

Hollywood accounting only works because the producers are taking the profits out by spending the money on outside firms that they get a piece of. That does not work in college sports: they are just plain losing money... except for the coaches and he staff who are making it hand over foot (even on the small schools with horrible records).

The vast majority of college sports programs in the U.S. are losing a lot of money for the school. They are operating at a detriment to the school's main goal of learning.

You should consider the possibility that the climate skeptics are right, also. Imagine how you'd feel if you gave up your chance to have a family, and then one day realized that the scientists weren't being completely honest (as is now widely accepted to have been the case with virology/lab leaks).

Claims about world records in temperature can be extremely confusing. Many times, newly announced "record breaking temperatures" are actually lower than they have been recorded in the past. Here is one recent example:

https://retractionwatch.com/2021/08/16/will-the-real-hottest...

"As anyone who follows the climate news is aware, July 2021 was the hottest month on record for our torrid little orb, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), with a combined temperature 1.67 degrees F higher than the 20th century average of 60.4 F. NOAA noted in a Friday press release that the previous record was set in July 2016, and tied in 2019 and 2020. But as Bill Frezza, a sharp-eyed reader of Retraction Watch noticed, the agency’s website tells a different story. This press release, dated Aug. 15, 2019, and still live on noaa.gov, proclaims July 2019 to be the hottest month on record for the planet."

The reason this occurs is that temperatures reported by governments are no longer actual recorded temperatures, but rather the output of models. These models significantly change the historical record, both absolute values and trends, in fact they continuously recalculate old temperature values. Climatology doesn't believe you can answer a question like "what was the temperature at weather station X, Y days in the past" because the answer depends on when you ask it. This isn't really a secret but it's also not well known. NOAA explained it like this:

"NOAAGlobalTempv5 is a reconstructed dataset, meaning that the entire period of record is recalculated each month with new data. Based on those new calculations, the new historical data can bring about updates to previously reported values."

Another example is here:

USA Today Jan 2022 https://www.msn.com/en-us/weather/topstories/the-past-seven-... "Europe sweltered through its hottest summer ever recorded in 2021 and set an all-time temperature record in Sicily of nearly 120 degrees Fahrenheit."

Record = 120 degrees Farenheit.

New York Times 1925 https://www.nytimes.com/1935/06/23/archives/127degree-heat-i... "127 degree heat in Zarazoga, Spain"

So 120 degrees is not an "all time temperature record" and 2021 was not the "hottest summer ever recorded".

Try to remember, claims about the end of the world come and go. Our parents were being told the world would end due to mass starvation when population growth exhausted food supplies, a new ice age (global cooling) and of course the ever-present possibility of nuclear war. Humanity survived and if they'd taken the attitude you're talking about now, you wouldn't exist.
I don’t fault folks who have three kids, but with fertility rates plummeting, it’s not something that should be optimized for. Families are getting smaller over time.
