But why should I have to pay the entrance fee and why should I have to work? Unless you believe axiomatically that everyone "should" work there is no rational reason why everyone should work. Hunter gatherers didn't work. They hunted, gathered food, took care of the children and whatnot but they decidedly did not work. But now, thousands of years later, we're devoting most of waking hours to work. That's not progress. And all for no good reason. All those developers optimizing ctr rates for ads or building casino sites for gambling addicts, are not adding anything of value to society. They are making it worse. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There's so much pointless work out there that is just work for work's own sake.
Imagine if men or women showed up to work completely naked. For one it might not be the most sanitary, but let’s assume we don’t leave any mess or smell from those lower regions. People would not care because it would become normal. As the previous poster identifies, different cultures have different levels of normal and it is a great comparison of face to boob. In my opinion the fact you hide something makes it more sexual, not less, because then it is no longer normal and it is now rare. From a economic perspective there is not scarcity causing its value to increase.
I think they got rid of akamai years ago. At their scale it makes perfect sense to roll thier own CDN

Yes, this is my favorite Bézier Curves
I think that most people here are mistaking the finger for the moon. If discrimination is really the reason why we have this kind of interviews, the problem to solve is discrimination and not the hiring process that is attempting to fix it or to hide it.

A qualitative hiring interview would be perfectly fine if the interviewers had no discrimination in their minds. The real solution is having minds without it. It's probably a goal hard to achieve with grown up people. Easier with newborns. So any solution starts from their parents, grandparents, etc and will stretch over many generations. Education, mingle with people from every origin and background, etc, pick your favorites.

How many generations? Limiting ourselves to the USA think how long it took for women to get a vote since the Constitution and for an Obama to become president since the end of slavery. We can hope that the trend is accelerating but who knows what's going to happen next. The state of the rest of the Western world is not so different.

This is the optimum. Now the good because there will be interviews to do this year. Any stop gap solution would do but don't invest too much into it because if you don't remove the real problem any fix will be worked around.
I struggle to see how “critical thinking” can mean anything other than the application of tools to ascertain the true state of things. Certainly far from “accept the dogma I am telling you”

Pretty sure some in the religious right considered Howard Stern dangerous in corrupting the youth or society. Really depends on how you define when speech becomes considered dangerous.
> So why do we loudly shame those that don't want to adhere? Who does it benefit?

It benefits them because they're expressing their values and preferences, which allows them to find others like them and build bonds over these shared values. A shitty way to do it maybe, but it always comes back to bonding.

Edit: although some people shame out of genuine concern that the shamed party will not themselves be able to find human bonds. This is a type of shaming you often see from parents.

> We are incapable of allowing people to deviate without telling them how we feel about it.

I'm not sure who "we" is. Society collectively is much more tolerant of deviations from normal dress, appearance and behaviour than they were even 10 years ago. Society takes time to adapt.
My favourite part of this is accounting for some fake grids.

Kudos! I have been so curious lately as to whether this was possible.

EDIT: The next question is which (if any) of these signals can be removed and still get it in 1 guess. Or if there are any other signals. Or how many tweets are needed (is 50 enough? 10? or 1000? 10k?)
I have an axiom I mention on almost every occasion I can when people ask for more granularity on a specific request. "A system that is infinitely configurable is infinitely complex."

They now also added: "In the coming months, we'll provide an option for you to move your non-Google Workspace paid content and most of your data to a no-cost option.

Venmo already has a QR code, which is pretty darn easy.
No: the person who implements the method is certainly working alongside (or has handy) a say, mathematician/physicist/specialist in numeric computation. I would not ask "just an Engineer" (no offense) to understand how to properly implement such type of methods (mostly because they are full of special cases which require a specialist).

Hope you make the jump to that job, which is surely interesting (and pretty hard).

Thanks.

Fantastic Symbols and Where to Find Them – Part 2
There are advantages to embedding. You can retain the host language type system and and object model. If you have a great query language and model but have to write a ton of code to marshal back and forth, it might not be adding that much value (classic impedance mismatch).

While go’s compile time metaprogamming is virtually non-existent, it’s runtime metaprogramming with reflection is more or less complete. There’s a runtime cost to using it, but that can be mitigated.

See https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/tree/master/pkg/sql... for a reflection-driven, embedded logic query language in go that achieves pragmatic goals of writing logic queries over data structure graphs at reasonable performance and pretty good expressibility.
Again, from the article.

Come on, do not simplify like this (I am teaching it and precisely because I am worried, I try to fill the course with relevant topics).
By getting a boat. Getting on someone else's boat is good too, as you can get experience and learn from them. Sailing is easy - you don't need to win races when cruising around the world, so the finer details of trimming will be wasted on cruisers (you can always pick them up on the way). Navigation and traffic rules shouldn't be hard to pick up for the average HN crowd, although yachties like to make a fuss about it.

I did a few RYA training things that cost a lot of money and got me some papers that nobody ever wanted to see (they're important if you want to charter a boat though). You can just buy the syllabus and gain the knowledge by online learning or video courses instead. I recommend going that route - the knowledge in the syllabus is important and very useful. The formal course in a classroom and the certificate are not. Practical knowledge is gained only by going sailing, making mistakes and learning from them, but it helps if you know the knots and the parts of the rigging beforehand.

But the real learning only begins when you get your own boat and have to fit it out and keep it going. Boat maintenance is hard and there's a lot to learn. You can initially substitute money, but that stops working once you get to remote areas where there is simply nobody else to pay to fix your boat and you will have to do it yourself or give up. Many decrepit boats in remote locations are on the market very cheaply for exactly that reason.

I would add that you shouldn't just write about the project. That's kinda boring, to be honest. No one cares about your new feature, sorry :) . (I think this is implied in Karl's comment, but worth spelling out explicitly.)

Write/talk/communicate about:

* problems the project solves
* the broader space the project is in
* technical challenges you've encountered and overcome or sidestepped (for a tech audience)
* how your customers are using the product to make their lives better
> Eventually, you'll need to build a playbook that another DevRel or Marketing person can execute, but you can't outsource this when you're still finding product-market fit.

I think this is the main point, I have many and many pages to create a playbook, but, since the project still finding product-market fit, this is a skill that have to come from the founders.

Maybe outsourcing Marketing things such as analytics and so on, but doing DevRel and evangelism on your own.

Thanks for your point of view!
Personally I think skill at interviewing counts a lot. I've yet to see a data science interview problem that can't be answered with either "look it up in the hashtable" or "look it up in the literature". If you are good at connecting with people, don't say stupid things that offend people (boast about drinking or drugs, make anti-semitic jokes, etc.) and not "lose your shit" it counts for a lot. Bluff and bluster helps with leetcode-style tests as well as all the other tests.

even though I am an extreme introvert who has to spend a lot of downtime to emerge from my lair I can manage great feats of empathy, charm and seduction. I went from being afraid of job interviews to finding them fun.

To be fair I got a PhD in a quantitative field so I find the "leetcode grind" to be easy and intrinsitcally gratifying. Today, even if I am less good at it, I find it more challenging and interesting to grind at art, photography, printing, unusual imaging technology, 3-d graphics and ensorcelling people,.
The phrase is usually "he'd give you the shirt off his back." That's much nicer
When the choice is no internet vs only having Facebook the latter simply gives you more options.

It's not a curated news site, you can at least talk to friends for free and only join whatever groups or pages are relevant to you which is a pure improvement over not having any options.
Probably not. "Steal the shirt off someone's back" means to take everything from a person, even the most basic and least significant item of clothing that they are wearing, and leave them with nothing.
The actual point seems to stand. Left, right, center. All have ill-advised proposals. Some are more willing than others to put their ideas on the table and take feedback (not blanket dismissals).

There hasn't been anyone remotely leftist in power for most of a century, so it's plainly inaccurate for /u/givemeethekeys to say:

In a quick browse last night there was anti-Fauci rhetoric, comments about Marxism cities in California, incorrect information about mask effectiveness and anti-mask sentiments, climate change denial-ism, Covid misinformation, etc. In relation to what we're talking about here:

> I suspect that if this omicron had emerged in 2018 at least with the symptoms and lack of severe disease that we have seen so far…it would likely have been described as a virulent common cold and may have gotten an occasional news mention, but zero public and government panic.

This is so wholly inaccurate, it's beyond the pale. Our average daily death rate from Omicron has already exceeded Delta. Omicron 'seems' milder overall due to the high level of vaccinations which prevent hospitalization and death and decrease transmission. If Omicron came out first, our overall death rate would be far beyond the 870,000 US deaths we've seen so far. And there would have been far more refrigerated morgue trucks at the hospital down the street from me in the initial wave.
I think that the term "entrepreneur" is so fuzzy that there are many different meanings that may well contradict each other. Since your question was phrased very subjectively, I chose the destinction that I found most revealing.

In business, each of us first acts individually. The question is how we meaningfully identify roles in this context. "Entrepreneurs" und "managers" are perhaps not specific enough roles to provide us with valuable insights. Consider your criteria of being able to "deliver on ways to create products/ services to improve lives of customers/ users". This is in no way limited to people who we typically call entrepreneurs. Everyone who has a creative job or volunteer work does this or contributes to it. So if it is not sufficient to characterize an entrepreneur, is it at least required? -- I do not think that neither inovation nor success is a mandatory criteria for the general use cases of the term.

Nevertheless, it might be worth asking what an innovative and successful entrepreneur has in common with an innovative and successful manager and what might distinguish them from each other. As a thought experiment, we can imagine one and the same person (= one mindset) once as the owner and once as the manager of the same business. Would the business decisions always be the same?

It's pretty amazing how much efficient you can build in if you're starting a process from scratch and know what the first mover did. This is precisely how the US pushed the UK out of the textile business. It's no wonder that it happened again after another series of innovations.

"Criminal" is strong word here, there is no "rule of law" in Argentina, it is not one of the country's values.

Crime is the norm, not the exception, starting with the government and trickling down to the people.

It is the wrong culture: "If higher ups cheat to get ahead and get away with it, why shouldn't I?".

Result: scaled up crime - corruption, tax evasion, robbing, slacking, etc.
Of course they choose to ignore misinformation over Neil Young. It's about who brings in the most money. Now if Taylor Swift, Adele and all the other big celebs follow suit that could pressure things, but think all those big names have too much too lose vs Neil Young, especially over such a devise topic where even if they 'won' and went back on Spotify they'd lose a lot of listeners in the long run and most young celebs aren't going to lay on the sword.
SPOILER ALERT: shows today's answer!
The problem is always the same: to do things right, you need people who know what they are doing. Redundantly. Yet, most of us don't know what we are doing, so in practice we end up creating proxies for "the people who know what they are doing according to their certificates certify that I know what I'm doing". Because otherwise you wouldn't be accepted in a cool position, and we all want to be in a cool position. And that's how we end up with so much shit overflowing in the world, but people still pretend they have their own under control. Feeling greedy? Play pretend. A few hours later... Want to be accepted? Play pretend. A few hours later... Want to not be left out? Play pretend.

People have ideas about remote work on board, but for various reasons this rarely works out in practice. Internet connectivity is poor and intermittent, your schedule is ruled by the weather and having to work seriously distracts from the fulltime job that cruising is by itself.
Cumulative worldwide Covid deaths since the start of the pandemic : 5.63 million

https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explor...

Yearly deaths due to hunger : 9 million

https://www.theworldcounts.com/challenges/people-and-poverty...

More people may die from hunger than Covid :https://www.forbes.com/sites/shaynaharris/2020/07/09/more-pe...

Yearly hunger deaths are nearly double Covid deaths.

One of the major issues with hunger is that you can not just ship food from a place that has it to a place that doesn't, that ends up wiping out local farmers and creating more food instability.

GMO are the best way to create crops that are drought and insect resistant. This is huge in bot resisting the effects of global warming and also reducing the amount of pesticides we use.

The idea that we can have food that is better for us and the environment and yet there are people that do their best to prevent it's use is insane.

The really infuriating part is that these same damn people were just screeching insistently about how "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" is unrealistic. The kind of savvy it takes to not slip backwards in a high inflation environment is exactly the same kind of savvy it takes to pull one's self up by your bootstraps.

Regardless of how realistically achievable you think the latter is does not change the fact that the cognitive dissonance is apparent.

This will come back to haunt them. People don't like economic uncertainty but they can't do much about it so they just deal. People really, really don't like spineless shysters that change their opinions to whatever is convenient that minute and they can marginalize said shysters in response.

Where is the captain of this ship? Why isn't there someone with a longer than next week timeline saying "hey let's stop lighting our credibility on fire like this"?
> Very sad. The internet was crafted and promoted in a spirit of radical social experimentation, where all kinds of ideas could be shared at light-speed all over the world, each man could have a mouthpiece, and we'd have access to the greatest library of unfiltered information ever devised.

That experiment is failing just as much due to its own internal contradictions as it is to any kind action by internet companies.

I'm not sure why it's not a reasonable career for someone leading a movement. Unless/until the movement can pay them to be full time, they have to do something to eat. I would imagine people leading a movement would prioritize a lower number of work hours to distract from that and a flexible schedule.

That said, this appears to be a mod of a subreddit, not the leader of a movement.
Upon further inspection I agree with the quoted parent. This novel is not appropriate for middle schoolers, and hiding that fact behind a veneer of “you’re trying to suppress information about the Holocaust” is shameful.

I've always found these self driving car moral questions incredibly weird. If your self driving car is a position where it needs to choose between killing your family or the pedestrians crossing the street, something has gone seriously wrong and it's a false choice because there's no way you can trust your sensor inputs/interpretations to know that's even what's happening.

Well, I was using vaccines as an example because it's mentioned in the article (which appears to be prompted by some flak from the Guardian).

I don't know about Palestinians and Nicaraguan socialists. Are they demanding that their critics be silenced? I doubt they're in any position to even imagine demanding that.

"It's an old (very, very old) insight that rules for censorship are made with the excesses of the right as legitimation for it, and then used against the left."

Maybe it's old because it's no longer true? I'm approaching middle age now, and the best examples of right wing censorship I can think of are all related to sexual morals and porn. But at least in the UK left wing parties usually support censoring that stuff too, e.g. here's an old article about the current head of the UK Labour Party being concerned about internet porn and other Labour party figures supporting the idea of internet censorship:

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2169509/Internet-po...

If the left has ever been the side of free speech it must have been some time before I was born. I suspect the reality is that the people who want censorship are typically those in power or most aligned with power, and that swings back and forth over time.
