The right has basically as far as I can see said get on with your lives, do what you want.

So I can wear a mask if I want as I understand it.
I can get a vaccine if I want.
If I've had covid I might decide that may provide some immunity.
I can go to the beach if I want
etc.

So while I don't agree with the right on many of their views (ie, vaccine effectiveness to the degree they have doubts there) - the rights views with respect to COVID seem less intrusive.
I wrote an online single player strategy game called Trek and released it on GH pages a few days ago. Link is here: https://vivegi.github.io/Trek

It is free and online. No user registrations. No trackers. No 3rd party scripts or dependencies and the entire web app is self-contained. Just HTML/CSS/JS + media assets.

It is based on interactive 3-SAT solving although I deliberately made a point of not mentioning it on the game's home page to keep it appealing to the widest possible audience, not just CompSci/SAT folks.

Would love to hear what you and your 4/yo think of it.

Of course, open to collabs.
Do you have hard data to back that up or is it just anecdotal personal bristling whenever someone says "privilege"?
Looks interesting. Would be good to see:

1. How exactly it works

2. How it's different from existing remote work tooling (Slack / Zoom / Google docs / Miro / etc)
MariaDB sells MariaDB Enterprise and MariaDB as a service (SkySQL).
I'm a little incorrect in my use of "speed trap," my apologies. I meant where the police are hanging out out-of-view and ready to spring on anyone speeding or doing other obvious violations, not sudden speed transitions which are mainly used as a revenue stream.
Up until I added that line it was "rust" which was doing it. Perhaps the line makes it worse, but at least I'm happy to ignore those requests now. :)

You may benefit from looking up the term "enlightened centrism". Or "pedant".

If you think pro-war corporate media's constant military cheer-leading is as valid a perspective as independent media, I have nothing polite to say to you.
I wouldn't go so far as to say zero value, but I would say that engaging with third-party recruiters is generally an activity with a negative expected value. Generally they don't actually have or aren't willing to share the incredibly useful real and direct insights you wisely point to.

Personally, I've found that high quality messages from recruiters are usually painfully obvious. They lead with the name of the company and show evidence that the recruiter read my profile. These are so rare that I completely skip any kind of bot-ish response to handle them.

Most of the responses I can expect to the kind, compassionate, empathetic script you've so helpfully provided will not contain all three data points requested. At best, we can expect to get a JD and maybe a company name. Comp is usually withheld and the cycle goes around again.

Treating the recruiter-spammers as humans, unfortunately, does not really seem to produce the results we would all love it to. It mostly seems to be treated as proof that the spammer has hooked a fish and just has to reel them in.
I wouldn't call PWAs universal platform when they are very dependent on Google being nice with Chrome. Also, browsers already have integrated blocking mechanism that is supposed to block out phishing sites etc. but that's only the case because so far the browser infrastructure operators(Mozilla, Google, Apple) are acting nice. The Push notification infrastructure is also possible only because the browser infrastructure operators are being nice so far.

At any point Google or other browser makers can choose not to be nice or can be compelled to follow regulatory orders.

The only universal thing about PWAs is the availability of Google Chrome to all major platforms and that's up to the courtesy of Google. They may choose not to do it at any time, they may choose to discontinue their push notification backend just like that.

Browsers are not standalone apps anymore, they are dependent on the backend services of the browser company. That's especially important when they need to run PWA.
You're still not pointing out how this rubric is demanding ideological conformity. The wording of the rubric and the context in which it's presented have explicit language about how this is not in fact demanding ideological conformity. It's presented as a "sample", a "template", a "guide", "illustrative", and "recommended". It implores faculty search committees to tailor the rubric to the norms particulars of the academic discipline. Nowhere is it stated that this mandated and required.

I think one of the main issues here is that you are looking at the DEI component of the hiring process through the lens of the DEI office, which is not necessarily the view of the faculty search committee, who are the actual gatekeepers in the process.

But even if we consider the rubric as presented, I still fail to see where it's demanding ideological conformity. The rubric states it is evaluating:

knowledge and understanding (section 1), track record of activities to date (section 2), and plans for contributing at Berkeley (section 3).

- For Section 1, requiring knowledge of a topic is not the same as requiring ideological conformity to a topic. I think we can all agree on that.

- Section 2 asks about a track record of activities. This is just asking about a candidate's service record, and an appropriate response here would be to talk about any community service experience one has.

- Section 3 asks about future plans. This is an opportunity for a candidate to talk about plans for incorporating community service and outreach with their research and teaching, which is usually a prerequisite to getting funding from top government funding agencies. A detailed service plan is an important part of any faculty candidate's application package, and the DEI letter is a great place to include it.

I don't see how any of that is onerous or demanding of ideological purity and conformity. It seems rather reasonable to me.

The website of the German federal tax office is not GDPR-compliant:

Seems premature to sanction private businesses when EU governments have not yet been able to come fully into compliance. Perhaps the changeover is more difficult than anticipated? As others allude below, it might make sense for the relevant EU-based alternatives to come online/scale up.

Perhaps only cutting edge makes sense to build new, and once there is increase of cutting edge capacity, older fabs will gain spare capacity to be used for automotive and other industrial users.

We have evidence of life on Mars from the Viking landers, we just ignored it because it's inconvenient.
I was rear-ended in Colorado when I didn't do a rolling stop. Had a road-rage incident when the other driving was livid that I would stop under thoose circumstances.

My dad (when gowing up) was pulled over for a cop for doing a california stop in Colorado. The police officer let us off, because we had california plates.

When I got my Tesla, it was immediately evident that _no one_ travels the speed limit. They travel 5-10mph over it on anything other then a local road. or they drive way under it.

This is the problem with our mental model - FSD/Autopilot has to co-exist with human drivers - and human drivers don't follow the law. FSD/Autopilot has to exist in a world where roads do not follow standards, lines are not marked, deer jump in front of cars, people do California stops (it's called that for a reason), cars have accidents.

Computers, today, change none of that.

What does it mean to design urban technology?
It does not need to have a motor. Tesla can generate 400-1000+ horsepower, which is more than enough to pull a trailer at 75+ MPH.

Would just need the hitch to include a power cable, to send power back to the car.
I have to say--none of this advice would be actionable in all my previous experiences with recruiters.

The truest statement is the one the author makes up front:
>Recruiters are just cold calling

More accurately, they're contacting a lot of people who's profile contains their search keywords. No recruiter is contacting only you for a req they're trying to fill.
On the current place to collaborate, there's actually nothing. And at your suggestion, here's where collaboration can start: https://github.com/pavgup/meshitup/. Empty repositories are all opportunity. PRs welcome!

But if my goal is to minimize risk and I consistently see a single person making winning bets, why would I take that bet? It's just bad business.
Nope, defending the right to block ads is a libertarian position because it affirms the autonomy of individual internet users. No individual is obligated to go out of their way to enrich another person's business or support the viability of someone else's business model. Please don't make assumptions about my personal life, you have no idea who I am.
Kind of, but not really. The tumbling transaction is itself public. If anything, this would spread the taint to all other outputs of that tumbler, not remove it from your own output.
Setting aside legality, It's hard to believe that Tesla's FSD has the ability to successfully evaluate its current context (weather, time of day, visibility, vehicle "body language") and decide when a rolling stop is safe and when it's not. Not that humans always do this well either, but resorting to rolling stops always while ignoring the circumstances seems like a bad move.
In that case, you could say it's even more important for all individual agents to adhere to a set of clear and predictable rules.
Well, one of the problems of C is that it's not as simple as it wants you to think it is. :-)
this is the perfect hacker news comment. congratulations!
I'm not sure why it's rational or desirable to let companies violate the law until they get a letter that says "the law applies to you too". Let's fine Tesla for rolling a stop sign times a large multiple based on their data of how often it happened.

We can use the national average fine or use the GPS to match it to the proper jurisdiction. I don't care which.
Memetic driving? Actually with humans in the mix, being "predictable" can be positive for safety.

You can implicitly figure out what the core team does by going to https://www.rust-lang.org/governance and seeing what team does what.

Otherwise, a good way to understand how Rust governance is happening is by reading the various RFCs, I think this one is the most relevant one for you: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html, specifically the "Core team" section: https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/1068-rust-governance.html#c...
If you lack the situational awareness to recognise a police car in the vicinity, it's probably better to actually come to a stop. I suspect that's part of why the law works well enough.
Storm Corrie: plane struggles to land in strong winds [video]

Mux (YC W16) | SF, London, REMOTE (US, CAN, and UK) | Full-Time | Elixir, Golang, TypeScript/React | https://mux.com/jobs

Mux is how developers build online video.

With Mux Video, developers gain access to a powerful API for video streaming--think Stripe for Video. A dev doesn't need to have strong feelings about ffmpeg settings to get started; teams can focus on building your actual product instead of bolting together a video pipeline. And with Mux Data, developers realize incredible insights into how their videos perform from platform to platform, place to place, and user to user.

I'm Ed, and I'm an engineer on the DevEx team here. This is a pretty good place to be, IMO. The team here is sharp, there is a real and concerted focus on not just competence but on the human side of things; one of the company's core values is "be human" and I thought it was marketing stuff 'til I joined and learned to my surprise that it is emphatically not. The onboarding experience is really well-considered and thought-out and it gets a lot of positive feedback from new folks, too.

The tech stack actually manages to balance cool with useful, too. It's a multi-cloud environment running Kubernetes on AWS and GCP, with Elixir, Golang, and some NodeJS (some JS, mostly TypeScript), plus React and TypeScript for all the usual bells and whistles.

Mux is a good place to be and if video is your bag, or even just sounds interesting, you should check us out. At the moment our hiring is limited to the US, Canada, and the UK, but the company is fully remote--I'm in Boston and I don't feel disconnected compared to the SF folks. Feel free to head on over to https://mux.com/jobs and check out our openings; we run a pretty standard interview-loop process and I don't feel like we waste candidates' time. Even if you don't see an immediate spot that clicks with you, feel free to reach out regardless!
There’s nothing magical about a full and complete stop. The reason we do it is to force humans to slow down and give themselves some objective standard for how much time they need to evaluate the conditions of the intersection. And the reason rolling stops are so common is that in many situations, it’s very obvious that the full stop is an unnecessary bit of ceremony. I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable to say that a competent self driving car should be equally capable of making the necessary safety decisions whether it’s paused for a full stop or not. Given the premise that we are approving computers to make high frequency decisions about multi-ton hunks of metal driving around on our streets, there is simply no way in my mind that the difference between a full stop and a rolling stop for them is actually a safety issue.
Of course! And you should definitely run a red light if staying were you are would put you or other in dangers. I'm commenting about running a red light just because the road seems otherwise clear.
In my opinion, it was irrational to ever turn it on.
One of the most famous solar storms in recorded history is the Carrington Event of 1859. This event, which fried telegraph systems – the peak technology of the time – isn’t even detectable in the carbon-14 data in tree rings. So it would be but a whisper compared to the thundering onslaught of a solar superflare

This is not comforting.
LOL. you ain't wrong
Sometimes I say something like "I'm glad to hear you're competitive! I'm currently being offered $REAL_BIG_COMPANY_NUMBER, so I look forward to our conversation." Generally this ends the conversation.
Was it in hot weather? could accelerate reacrions.
>>unless it got to kill-the-company-now levels of fines.

I did mention that possibility - but to emphasize, it'd have to eb effectively death-penalty for the corporation - just wipe them out.

I'm still not sure that would be sufficient, because there are soooo many examples of horrible managers/executives just torching $$millions and failing up. If any of those executives ever got another job much above the level of sandwich-maker, it would provide no deterrent.

It really looks like at many levels, network and data security needs to be treated as a national security level problem, and any decision to fail to implement state-of-the-art level protections treated as a deliberate compromising of NatSec akin to leaving classified material or CUI (confidential unclassified info) on the sidewalk; not sure what the applicable law is, but that level of negligence is at least the start of serious trouble.
Tesla would vastly prefer a situation where the NHTSA allows it to do anything it wants, so it does just that, hoping to normalize this deviance from how the law intends highway safety to be regulated. By this action, NHTSA is trying out a more assertive mode itself.
I don't know if it needs to be this elaborate. I like the idea though.

However...

> Can you send along the company name, a job description and, total compensation details for the role you’re reaching out in reference to?

Should be table stakes. I've started having to walk away from any recruiter that insists on a 15 minute call without providing these details up front. I wish there was some collective awareness around the fact that if someone took a 15 min call with every recruiter ping they got, they'd be on the phone 5-8 hours a day.
