She is brave and principled. Got guts. But unfortunately the world we live in wont tolerate her. Levi can easily be intimidated by minority few same as with our justice system particularly scotus last year. Meanwhile FBI is busy opening cases related to China while local enforcers scared as usual.
Not saying no when you should say no is a form of laziness known as cowardice.
One of the structures of HN is also that unpopular opinions are also heavily downvoted which obscures them, both visually and algorithmically. (And then people heavily downvoted I see can often complain of rate-limiting.)This is not about civility but about whether or not the environment is structurally hostile to certain philosophical discussions, which I understand it might be if one’s opinion is, say, that billionaires are unethical. (I don’t believe this personally but I know I will never get an intellectual, good faith discussion on the subject here.)

I think her point is that the company takes many explicitly political stances all of the time. So why not this one?

In this case, there's a mob of people willing to demonize her and the company. Should mobs rule dominate company politics?

> You want all 150 students in all your classes to come to your office every time you give out a homework assignment?

A class with 150 students should have like 2 or 3 TA, preferably more, so the workload is split. If it's a obligatory homework, the profesor and the TA may have to grade it anyway. It it's optative homework, many students will not write it down, but it would be nice if all of them do it.

Checking an exercise in the first years of the university is easy. If it's correct, you must only check 3 or 4 key points. It's harder if it has a silly numerical mistake and you must propagate the error to see if the answer is "correct" or there are more hidden errors. Also, the important part is to identify why the student was wrong and try to get actionable advice, like study the rule of a derivative of a division, or study the rule of the multiplication of the signs, and perhaps add a 5 minute personalized class on the spot.

We have a list optative homework, and it would be nice if everyone do them. It would increase the workload a lot, so we would have to imagine how to solve that. In particular in a long list the profesor/TA doesn't have to check every exercise, only the ones the student had a difficult time or the ones the profesor know that are prone to error. If there are 10 integrals of polynomials and the first 2 and the last one are correct, the other 7 are probably correct too. In case there is an error, the advantage is that the profesor can explain one or two and ask the student to redo the other and come again later or another day.

The long list of exercises is useful, but in my opinion it's more helpful to write in the blackboard an additional optative homework each class. There are more solutions attempt than just leaving the list to be downloaded from the web page. (And it's easier to check because all the students are doing the same exercise. Also I can check if they are writing correctly the solution, sometimes the students get the correct result but don't explain the intermediate steps with enough details.)
Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here
Dell deletes Latitude CPU Throttling issue after link is posted here.

Dell's new Latitude 5420/7420/7520 Notebooks have a ongoing issue where their CPU are severely throttled when running on any Linux distribution, even on Ubuntu OEM Certified System according to some reports at the forum.

After a link to the Dell forum post was ported to HN, the post mysteriously was deleted in the same day. Many users of this model posted to the forum thread since last year and so far no solution was provided and we only received very unenthusiastic responses from Dell support.

Shocking to see this apparent action to hide the problem.

FWIW, Delphi was the fastest/best way to create early Winsock app for Windows.

> I have a hard rectifying the claim that you are a health economist with the fact that you don’t appear to understand ...

Don't tell my PhD thesis adviser, I guess? He could have sworn he approved a dissertation about health economics but you've uncovered my secret, or something? (And what was I working on for all that time then? It was years of my life! Apparently nothing?!?)

> the bottleneck for increasing the supply of doctors is the number of residency slots.

No, _you_ are misunderstanding what change I want. There is no reason at all for a German, Mexican, British, etc. practicing doctor to have to do a US residency at all after they finish whatever training qualifies them to be a doctor in their home countries.

Read the article again. US medical education takes much longer than medical education almost anywhere else in the world, yet our outcomes are almost always worse along nearly any measurable dimension.

You will say: "yeah, but that's the result of many factors!" Great - I agree. But in that case it really isn't obvious that the extra years of medical education in the US do a lot for patient outcomes.

In fact, not only do I want more residency slots in the US, I want to reconsider that whole residency system, especially for doctors trained abroad.

> I think it’s pretty much universal that each country wants doctors to go through their own version of residency.

Why? That's a big part of the problem. There is literally no reason in the world for a German doctor who has been practicing there for a few years to have to come here and do a residency again. It makes no sense. You wouldn't do it for a C programmer, right?

Example: "Sorry - you learned C in Germany. If you want to program here, you'll have to get a four-year degree in CS again."

This obviously makes no sense. C is (ideally) the same language wherever it is written. And yet, while you have the same number of kidneys as a German and the same nervous system as Russian ... are you seeing the point I'm trying to make? Why require years of extra training for a doctor from one of those countries to work here? That keeps them out of our market and keeps prices high.

> A much more sensible system would to make medical school free so that the salaries don’t have to start off so high.

Let me pull out my economist card again and say: "this is not how that works." Salaries are not high because medical school is expensive. Salaries are high because supply is restricted. That's how supply and demand work.
Personally I like the JAM stack. I refuse to learn things like React as I don't consider myself a pro, and React is a pro-tool. It's like bringing a gun to a knife fight IMHO.
I've hired quite a few security folks in my time (some with criminal convictions) but my answer is an unhelpful one: it depends.

If you have a criminal conviction it's unlikely you'll get through the screening process with a regulated business (like banking, insurance, pharma etc) due to some 'out of the hiring managers hands' constraints those industries have. I've seen exceptions to this in the past, where a senior manager strongly advocated for the exception, but it's _very_ rare.

I've worked with several security people with criminal convictions in the past at non-regulated, FAANG and FAANG-like tech companies. They also usually have policies in place to prevent hires with criminal convictions, but the exception process there is easier, particularly in security teams where these convictions are more likely to occur in strong candidates.

The biggest concentration of folks with backgrounds like yours have been at security consultancies, in my experience. Combined with the experience you mentioned with bounties, that would be the place I'd spend most time looking. You might still get rejected from some, for example those with customers that require criminal background checks for employees or security clearance you couldn't get, but there are still quite a large percentage where you could find work. Personally, I've had conversations with external consultancies who say things like "I know you require criminal records checks on all our employees, which we're happy to do, but I want you know >50% of my team will fail them".

A couple of other things:

- No matter where you work, with your background there might be some kind of 'restriction' placed on what you work on and/or how you work (e.g. can't work on project Type X or must work from Office Y). If you do get through a process, ask about this before joining, as it might have an impact on how much you'd enjoy the role.

- Be open about your background. You sound like you would do that anyway, but the more open you are the better, you don't want this to be a surprise to people. What you're looking for is a strong advocate on the hiring team, so building trusting relationships with people will be important.

Don't be too down on yourself, you might have made some bad decisions, but you sound like a talented professional. The criminal justice system exists for people to serve their punishment and then move on with their lives. There are companies that will be delighted to hire you because of your skills. Your road may be a little tougher than for others, but that doesn't mean you can't end up professionally happy, fulfilled and well compensated.

A nitpick: it might be helpful to have some more specific information on integrations - currently the description of each integration is more or less the same thing with the name of the integration replaced... from a user perspective, if they are all effectively the same description wise (as it currently appears), you could move that description somewhere where it wont be repeated and just show the individual integrations
There’s a pretty wide gulf between having controversial opinions on hot-button issues and expressing them to your friends and family, and being in the line of succession for CEO (as well as the current brand owner) at one of the most well-known companies in America and going on Laura Ingraham without your employer’s consent to talk about your views.

There’s an old saw about “you can be right, or you can be married.” Being right isn’t everything. Perceptions, relationships, and influence matters - and the higher you are in the career ladder, the most impact you have. You have to think about that impact with all the stakeholders in mind. It’s not just about you - it’s about your fellow employees and others who you influence, directly or indirectly (to the point of being able to put food on the table) by your actions.
Look at these assumptions that you just inserted:

1. No “common interest, project ...”

2. You just want to be a “"good" socialite”

3. “Forced”: A lot of social interactions are “forced” in the sense that the conversation does not flow completely effortlessly so this applies generally

As to (1): one can have common interests etc. even though one does not see each other regularly. As to (2): this is just a contentless insult towards people who like to socialize, similar to the “loner” insult which is aimed towards people who prefer to be more solitary, so this can be disregarded.

Really dumbfounding to see so many people in this thread who think it’s unnatural to keep in touch with people by way of things like the telephone.

Generally, API support is not that bad, afaik Unity supports .NET standard 2.0, which is a bit old but not ancient - the chief problem is there's stuff like async/await in .NET which is their standard way of asynchrony, but not really supported in Unity without workarounds.

Also the serialization system in Unity tends to interact weirdly with more complex .NET object hierarchies, so expect strange things to happen.

If you're using a language where there is a difference between value-equals and instance-equals, it could cause a very subtle bug by changing this code if the result of it was relying on an instance-equals later on.

I have a pet chihuahua the size of a rat. She does not behave like in the stereotypes, she's a very good dog. I love her to pieces.

Unfortunately she is plagued by seizures, but so far we are managing it. The people breeding these dogs are stupid. She is awesome, but she was like the size of an egg when we got her, and running around a lot makes it hard for her to breathe.

The benefits are obvious, the brain activity involved in the practice of unconditional love is rewarding, and contributes to your well-being. Dogs have an abnormal willingness to form strong emotional bonds. They can't help but love you. We breed them for friendliness, and cuteness too unfortunately.
> kill a pedestrian and face no criminal charges or loss of driving privileges as long as they stop and dial 911

If drivers were to face high consequences no matter what, would a possible result be that more pedestrians and cyclists die because more motorists would fail to stop and render aid/call 911?
You posited a world without rail. That was your initial proposition. That without rail, we wouldn't have needed to synchronize time.

But then we quickly realize that it wasn't rail per se that caused us to develop synchronized time, it was connectivity. So that's the thing you have to cut out. And that's a much bigger ask, because rail isn't the only way to connect things.

At some point you've redefined so much that the exercise is just kind of pointless navel gazing. I don't mind exploring "what ifs", but when it stops being "what if" and starts becoming pure fantasy, it had better come with a compelling narrative.

Because that's the answer to your apparently implied question: What would a world that never had to synchronize time look like? It would look completely alien.

I like the AI therapist from this unique sci-fi novel

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_(novel)

that unlike the sequels reads more like literature than genre fiction.

For my emotional healing I have used many different things. In the last year I have used Betterhelp on and off. Most people would think it is pricey, but it has the big advantage that you can get started almost immediately whereas if I tried seeing a therapist at Family and Children's in my town I'd probably have to wait three months. Betterhelp also has high turnover from therapists who are often working at home while taking care of kids.

The right physical exercise can make a big difference for typing problems. I got relief by doing good old fashioned push-ups. Right now I am getting back into lifting weights but being careful about it because I am limited not by the strength of the primary muscles by but what the tendons and other secondary systems can handle which is frustrating but I know I'll get nothing but more pain if I don't respect it.

Getting into some activity which satisfies your emotional needs could also be a big help. I am a super-introvert and many of the things I do to cope involve withdrawing and I find this really satisfying until I see the opportunities I've lost -- however I can also charge up when I am solitary and be able to out-extrovert most extroverts for a short time. That's my puzzle to solve, your puzzle is different but probably has the same structure.

This guy sounds like a huckster but you shouldn't let that put you off -- even though he leads with bombastic headlines and sells like a TV infomercial (no wonder he has books on writing sales copy in his Zoom background) what he says is congruent with what what I've learned in studying other things.

That video has some exercises for dealing with emotional suffering connected with physical suffering manifest in the body and I think they work pretty well. If I hit the right target with one I will tell my wife the next day exactly what happened to me. For me it is stirring up feelings and overcoming my resistance to the CBT that my therapist wants me to do... I tend to resist confrontations of 'cognitive distortions' because I'll say I am thinking like a poker player or a chess player and just because I think something unrealistic here it is OK because I am exploring a contingency or I don't really believe it. When I have gotten a lump of crazy feelings on the surface and identified with me however I can go right down the list and find a bunch of thoughts that are just plain wrong that I can take responsibility for.
The 'all' more meant for people who wouldn't necessarily pass the stringent NASA astronaut reqs.
Yeah, I agree with you. I think that invalidating tools and procedures like this is just being a little less than empathetic to folks who struggle a bit more with social interactions. It's worth pushing back on the narrative that there is a correct way to have your friendships.
My initial thought as I read the first paragraph was: this seems kind of sociopathic (in a non-dramatic way).

I ended the article with "hmm, a system like this could be directly useful to me, especially at work."
Ditto on the contract experience you had where you gave a rough project-wide estimate. I had the exact same position. I didn't end up finishing the contract because the client refused to fulfill their end of the first, and only, contract.

If I ever get another contract I'll be doing it your way: time-based via a settled hourly rate.
That is completely unacceptable.

Corporations have more than enough power already. We do not also need to allow them to dictate the political views of their employees.

> Based on that alone, beliefs totally aside, she was clearly unfit for the role.

Correct. The role does not fit anyone willing to speak out about issues when they see something wrong or have the integrity to refuse to recant their true beliefs to keep their job.
And the typical solution to such injustices is to change the laws and not to create a dystopian anarcho-capitalist society in which drug cartels, scammers and fraudsters thrive.

So while I understand (and empathically feel) the circumstances leading to male divorcees in the US thinking this would be a good idea, I think there are easier solutions with much, much less side effects.

Or have people in the US given up on changing society via democratic means to such an degree they don't see a viable way to change such a simple thing like divorce laws?

On the other hand, we have finite and overburdened memories. Surely there is a way to get them triggered that doesn't feel mechanical and "fake".
its quite fun to see python api generated from C/C++ libraries. They always go ham on the type specification, making the resulting code unrecognizable as Python.
That's a great question. I'd say we have to buckets that stay on quite the opposite sides of the ARPU-CAC spectrum: the SMBs+, which are typically operationally-heavy(daily usage patters) and the early-stage startups/entrepreneurs who want to protoype or are tired of manually querying a DB and want something more flexible and user-friendly
Yeah, but it sucks when someone reaches out, you go for the paragraphs, and then you get a sentence or two back. You can try and make it engaging, but that doesn't mean both parties are looking to be engaged.
> Slack, then Teams came along and tried to rebuild Slack and then Skype and then Bluejeans came along... and then Zoom... and then Discord and the comms environment keeps evolving and the rent keeps going up. This is life.

Well, you could equivalently say that the problems with IRC are just life. It's relatively easy to have data from my IRC from 15 years ago -- do you think that will be true for people who are using Discord today?

All I'm saying is, if you value your conversations and data, maybe explore the other side of that tradeoff where you don't have to keep moving from one platform to another, but keep working for 15-20 years on continuously improving an open platform; and get to keep all your data into the bargain. And it doesn't have to be IRC. It can be Matrix or Zulip or Mattermost (instead of Slack or Discord).
