I think the problem here is that any criteria you use to choose one person over another is discriminatory -- that's the dictionary definition of discrimination: the choice between multiple competing options.

The problem isn't discrimination, it's unfair discrimination -- that is, discrimination on the basis of something that should have no bearing on a decision to employ someone.

Any criteria you choose will rule out people who aren't able to optimize for those criteria for whatever reason. I believe that's OK, as long as you are aware of the tradeoffs and try as much as possible, in good faith, to minimize unfair criteria while maintaining those criteria that help you hire people who have the best ability (or potential ability) to do the job.
> To get a decent result on any IT project you have to fix the organisation behind it before you even think about replicating that organisation digitally.

Exactly. I've seen this myself back in the day when I supported the MOD's system development (simulators for training, as it happens). As a techie, I was asked to develop some interoperability middleware between disparate systems. As my career matured, my focus changed to trying to get the systems to use common interfaces protocols / standards. Then I thought - why can't they have common requirements since may of them are doing very similar things, and drive tech commonality top-down. So I started working with the respective acquisition teams to get them to adopt common conventions. Then I started to question why they had disparate acquisition teams in the first place. This turned out to be because there were multiple customer project teams. Why was that? Because the different tribes in the army (infantry, armour, etc) didn't speak to each other at that level.

I eventually realised I was seeing a sort of example of Conway's Law [0], and was finally able to develop a proper briefing for a senior decision maker who was concerned about the technical / contractual complexity at one of his training schools (which had multiple different types of simulator, each with out own through-life support programme). This I believe finally led to some coherence-focussed reorganisations of the MOD teams involved, which was perhaps the most impactful thing I achieved in a couple of decades working in this space.

Sorry, my question was whether this meant break even as in “we are extracting resources from Venus and selling them back on earth for more money than it cost to get them” or “Venus is now self sustaining”

If it is the first one, that seems hard to calculate, because if you are extracting that many resources you are going to distort the market on earth.

You comment makes it seem like they will break even by selling houses on Venus? How can they possibly know the market for Venus housing?
They did say "if you've got time for the long game".

I wouldn't say that, it is a mix of masters/phd. the robotics department is quite new, the overall curriculum is pretty rigorous mathematically, but also a lot of lab work.

this is more of a catch all to make sure everyone is able to handle the rest of the program, since depending on undergrad school and country, mathematical maturity seems to be a large spectrum for incoming robotics students

MailASail itself is interesting too. They provide stripped down email hosting for cruisers on low-bandwidth connections (satellite internet, SSB* with pactor modems). HTML, attachments, signatures are stripped away.

The blog hosting is designed for submitting short text updates by (satellite) email, optionally with low-resolution photos, which are converted into blog posts.

* Seems the SSB service is no longer there, or maybe I'm confusing it with sailmail.com

An Engineering degree from even a prestigious University doesnt make you an Engineer in many disciplines. You have to go do a different credential to start putting together buildings and bridges.

Having a Medical Degree (Doctorate in Medicine), doesnt mean you are credentialed to be a practicing doctor either. Doctors btw dont get asked to "go diagnose this patient real quick" during their interviews.

Credentialism in tech is an interesting rabbit hole. We basically do have nurses vs doctors with degrees of speciality, but some places pay them all the same. Some places do pay the backend engineer differently from the front end guys.

Its well known that bare metal C engineers are not making as much as React devs in alot of cities, and most people seem to broadly agree the C engineer has a harder task than the React one.

So we would need to figure out whats the CNA/LPN/NP, doctor, general doctor, brain surgeon, and veterinarian of our fields. But it's not quite so simple right? We might think front end where you are grinding out simple React or PHP apps is easy, but if you are a front end dev on a billion plus dollar selling system or with very high stakes stuff going on you probably do want a "doctor level" dev right? You probably dont need the AI dev though (the brain surgeon) if we continue the analogy.

MP3 in particular has some fundamental problems (even at maximum bitrate) when dealing with short sharp sounds (e.g. castanets), which have been fixed in the subsequent generations of audio codecs such as AAC, Vorbis or Opus.
my grandfather used to drive to another town half an hour away, because toilet paper was one or two dollars cheaper. No one could ever convince him that he paid more in gas than he ever saved. But he always had a small room full of toilet paper! He also kept his bonds in...the trunk of his car.
I’m not saying this is easy.
What you're saying doesn't disprove my point. Obviously they care about external perceptions, but this doesn't mean they think being a monopoly is a problem. In fact they want to achieve this result without the public realizing it.
No, as i've started to reach staff engineer at my company i've been able to influence some of our hiring policy. I've vowed to make hiring policy that is a joy for our candidates. I find the an extremely simple take home project is enough to see meaningful details to have a conversation about and to be able to wave around to internal stakeholders that we've seen something material of theirs. I explicitly tell folks to please stop working after 2 hours very emphatically.
Haha, yes. My first front end job was to rewrite a totally reliable and working software written in an obscure javascript framework, but still, working pretty well, appreciated by the users, and making tons of money for the company.

Well, AngularJS was such a trending thing that we HAD to rewrite everything in it. For no reason. No new feature. Bonus time : i was the only dev on this project (because i was replacing the only front-end dev who was leaving) and i had not a single idea of how AngularJS worked at the time.

No supervision, no prior experience, no business goal. I'm not proud of the result. But at least i learnt a lot of things (including CoffeeScript, i'm sorry for who took the codebase after me).
I have conducted a fair number of interviews and never been surprised at their on the job skills. I really don’t see much of a difference between interviewing people for coding positions and management etc.

Leetcode style tests meanwhile are simply a waste of time. I might as well ask someone if they have seen that problem before and know the trick.
Your comment is a potpourri of the kind of fractured logic that has become all too common in this debate.

> Vaccination does not prevent one from being contagious.

I never said it did, that's not even a counterpoint. Seat belts do not prevent car accident injuries, helmets do not prevent concussions. But they all are effective in reducing the probability.

> On the contrary,

Note the common form of the straw man.

> Vaccination could lead to more risky behavior.

"could", an imagining of some sort of scenario that works for whatever reality you're trying to believe in

> Which of these two people are more likely to spread COVID:

Apparently you think those two options are exhaustive?? Eliding right past the public behavior of the non-immunocompromised unvaccinated? Ignoring the point that if more unvaccinated people were vaccinated and boosted, it would be less likely that vaccinated people engaged in social activity would spread COVID? So, no thank you, I will not ignore a reality that hit me viscerally in favor of your theories of what "could" be true.
In hindsight, one of the thing I didn't check was the GPU draw at idle (with a monitor plugged in) when the laptop was in Balanced Power mode.

Typically if I plugged a monitor in I also had the power cord in. And with the Power plugged in, I had the laptop set to highest performance mode in Windows.

There is a balanced mode which is more conservative with power consumption. I wonder if the GPU idle draw would have been lower.

The laptop I used also had the external TB4/USB-C and HDMI ports wired to the NVIDIA GPU. This means that external monitor = GPU on. I wonder if there are some laptops that can use the iGPU for basic tasks, and only switch to GPU as needed.

There are also laptops with less powerful discrete GPUs that might draw less power at idle.
Some companies want you to describe your solution, or say pseudo code is fine. But not every company will be completely honest about how much they actually do penalize for improper syntax.
I did the opposite move, from Scandinavia to the UK - it wasn't easy to adapt to the various identifications methods here like GOV.UK Verify and other platforms versus just using BankID everywhere. It was also weird seeing how every bank here has their own authentication method!
Swapping a gas stove for an electric can easily cost double the price of the stove. Consider running a 30, 40, or possibly even 50 amp circuit and capping or removing the gas line. Neither of these tasks are ones that are ok to be done poorly.
No it's not. Joe Rogan's content is objectively stupid. He somehow manages to amass an audience while entertaining some of the dumbest thoughts I've ever heard. He gives experts and charlatans the same platform, and treats them as though they're equally experienced or qualified.

Refusing to have Jordan Peterson, a psychologist, on your show to say pseudo-intellectual nonsense like "climate doesn't exist" is not censorship, it's just basic editorial sense. Rogan somehow fools people into thinking this lack of sense is a virtue.

True. But FBs target markets were emerging ones, especially India, South East Asia, South America, etc.

I remember seeing huge branding spend via ads and hoarding all across India. With a billion population and 500+ million potential market, India is an important market for FB.

Also while TRAI, the regulating authority in India is phenomenol, the concept of compensation to users is non existent.

TRAI takes preventative and corrective actions policy wise, but does not take any actions that can compensate users.
Oh, not another one!
I did, actually, have the misfortune of using COM (and touched CORBA enough not to want to use it more).

I don’t hate Java but, having started using it in 1995, it felt like the community was prone to sweeping ambitions which exceeded the available time or appetite to improve further. One challenge is that while doing everything yourself allows the most control, it also means that improvements only come from within the smaller community of Java users.
Your point wasn't lost, just poorly reasoned. Joe Rogan is mainstream media, has decades of experience in broadcasting and a multi-million dollar broadcasting deal. He's not an outsider.

"TV journalists" criticize him for spreading misinformation.
> Anyone expecting even a basic level of anything without being willing to contribute at all is not demonstrating good behaviour within society.

Philosophically, why is that? Second question, what should we do about trust fund babies who never contribute anything other than a demand for yachts?
Universally necessary services like communication, healthcare, and social media (the digital plaza) can never be justly managed by private companies. It is an inherent structural contradiction that has failed and will continue to fail our society until we are willing to organize resistance beyond the realm of consumer choice.

That is definitely not clear any more.

What is "antivax"? He was vaccinated against covid! And afaik doesn't question vaccination in general, he just has raised concerns about the MRNA Covid vaccines because of the Spike Protein.

So does Zelle, and I expect the Fed’s instant payment system going live next year to have it as well based on the public collateral they’ve released around account aliases.

Payments are going to the way of QR codes and existing banking accounts, which is definitely cool that existing cameras and displays (and even QR codes printed on paper) can do the heavy lifting instead of yet another speciality tech and the decades long life cycles of said tech.
When they say they favor the false negative, that doesn't mean that false positive wont happen, is they would rather tradeoff a with a process that produces more false negatives if it produces less false positives because they have a firehose of applicants to chose from.

I think they realize their process isn't perfect, and worse of all, all processes are imperfect and this is the tradeoff set they've chosen. Google also tracks how successful people are after the interview process, so there is a feedback loop inside it. I think it's partly why they dropped the degree requirement from applicants, because their internal data showed no correlation with internal google success.

I think leetcode is bad, and I've tried to get interview processes to change to go full work sample at my big tech with relevant coding exercises, but it's hard to do! And in some sub-specialites where you are implementing graph algorithms and more, a subset of algorithms is in many ways a relevant interview question.

I think slowly the industry is moving away from no-leetcode, but it's going to take a generation or two of startups to really succeed at that, and most vital of all, it has to become a FB / Google level company that defines the industry for the next decade. The current millenial and gen z wave suffering under the leetcode regime and think it's bad need to become the next directors of companies and push for no leetcode in their interview processes. This is just starting to happen which why you see some companies like slack doing no-leetcode in their interview process.

Before leetcode we had microsoft defining the industry interview process with bullshit lateral thinking puzzle questions, and now nobody knows about their existence, nobody complains about them on HN and you never, ever run into them. I think in 10-15 years, leetcode will be the same and we will all complain about impossible work sample coding exercises and take homes.
There's a book called Why the West Rules--For now that basically explores the social development of the Western and Eastern cores since the dawn of civilization. One of the striking things in the book is that the author charts social development as measured by a formula with lots of variables. The kicker is that if you zoom out to look at the whole history, at that scale, the chart is basically flat-lined near zero until a couple hundred years ago.
Yeah, it actually does matter. Intent is incredibly important in law.

See the childrens' book "Mailing May", which is (IIRC) based on a true story. They put postage stamps on a child and mailed her on a passenger train that also carried mail, because postage was cheaper than fare for a passenger. They bent the rules that allowed mailing live chicks to cover her.

Tangentially related: Duchesne, Utah, wanted to build a railroad station, in the hopes of attracting a railroad. They mailed the bricks for the station to the town, because mail was cheaper than freight rates on wagons.

> Where was Fauci during the development of the vaccine?

This is such a weird question because the answer is obvious, he was working in a leading role as the head of a government agency who has to be involved with/aware of what is going on with the vaccine.
Sounds to me like you've defined "prejudice" as "pre-judging that I think is bad" and "pre-judge" as "pre-judging that I think is reasonable". Also it sounds like you've defined "ration(al)" as "things which I agree with"?
Facebook page is not necessary communication. That's telephone and mobile networks. Healthcare is successfully managed by private companies all around the world - even in Europe (the funding is organized by law but still the hospitals are private companies and half of EU countries have private health insurance companies). The horrors of publicly managed social media were already tested here in Europe too and we never want to go back.
This sentence stood out to me most: “executioners often claimed the clothes that their clients wore to the execution”. The word “client” is what shook me.
Plenty of ways. In the past being a good mechanic was handy.
Today being an engineer is highly valuable:

Electrical: 110v 60 Hz, 220v 50 Hz and 12v for 12v DC for electronics while you run 24v dc for the rest.
Networking radars, GPS, AIS, plotters has become incredibly complex.

Sewing: having a commercial sewing machine has proven to be useful (to make friends). Repair sails, awning, various canvas

Digital media: most popular boats have satellite com on board and produce one quality youtube video every week. Photos, blogs, manage fans on Instagram. You were hoping to get away from the hustle? You will be back in it quickly.

Refrigeration skills: get yourself a set of gauges ($50), vacuum pump, several cans of refrigerant, soldering equipment. Whomever can produce cold (freezer, cold beers or ice cubes) is king in the tropics.

I can add to this list. The world of handymen is incredibly unskilled. Come with a mechanical engineering or EE/CS background, you will be making friends faster than you can think.
> Biden said that if we take the vaccine, we won't catch coronavirus. This was misinformation. Why hasn't YouTube banned the White House's channel?

I think the suggestion is for something more like the Bar Exam.

At least in California, you don't have to go to law school to take this exam, and if you pass it you are just as qualified to practice law as someone who did go to law school. I doubt that happens very often but at least it's possible.

OTOH a Software Bar Exam would probably be much worse than the leetcode grind because it would inevitably become something you can only realistically pass right after finishing a very good CS degree, or equivalent study, in your 30's at the very latest. And it would become a de facto requirement for the better jobs, making the privilege bias even worse.
