Ironic they leave out Asian men in the graph at the top. I guess those numbers wouldn't fit their "America is racist" trope.

Other than that though, standardizing pay will balance the playing field towards smaller companies. Bigger companies will face pressure to standardize pay packages per level (see: Coinbase, Uber) which limits their ability to reward top performers. Smaller companies won't have that same pressure. The pay gap is largely a function of how much each gender negotiates on average and if you take away negotiating then people will just leave to places where they're paid what they're worth.

There is also a movement to start school later:

For example, in California, starting this Fall, high school can't start before 8:30 AM.
I doubt that there was anything most WWII countries could do to make the Nazis march back, but if it were possible, while retaining their sovereignty, I Think it would have been wise to do so.

I agree WWII is a poor analogy for the Ukrainian war, which is quite different, but I did not pose the question.

>I don't believe there's anything realistic that can be done right now to make Russia march back to where they came from, other than showing them we won't accept such aggression in modern day Europe.

This is where we fundamentally differ. As in the other thread, I think that Russia would pack up their bags and go home if Ukraine agrees to stay neutral with respect to NATO, and perhaps cede Crimea and Donbas to Russia. I gather that you think this is not the case.

>One of their demands at the start was that Poland and other Baltic countries that joined NATO most recently should leave it, they would call the invasion then

Not that they should leave NATO, but that the US would reduce their troops there, in exchange for Russia drawing down troops from its boarder. This was proposed as a path to lowering tensions and avoid war in Ukraine.

In my personal experience the first to go are the non management highest paid employees, the degree of competence doesn't matter. The really good ones go before the layoffs. The next layer of skilled employees leaves between the first and the second wave of layoffs. Eventually you get a company of drones with some management on top of them. Possibly a lot of management because sometimes they contract the same very people they laid out because they need the expertise but they want to transform capex to opex.

I would hope that China would understand Buddhism enough to know that there is no possible separate authority... I mean, the Heart sutra almost definitely came from China..

Although, I admit that I do have a hard time knitting together Tibetan and Burmese etc forms of Buddhism with what my understanding is (zen). They seem to genuinely worship Gautama Buddha as if he was some kinda god or something.

That's not what we're into at all. He was just a normal dude, in zen... And I mean... Dogen too. Both kinda interesting and insightful ones, ones we probably can learn something from (also learn some negative things from, e.g, O.G buddha walked out on his family (what a cunt!)) but yeah, there's no space laser eyes or anything in my book.

Just some dudes that looked at a wall for some years, and realised they're essentially the same as the local lemon tree. Kinda makes sense to me.

Takes a while though.

Even though I'm a buddhist, I seem to really offend non-zen buddhists in this fashion, which I find kinda hilarious.
No. There was a lot of rationalizing from fanboys attempting to retcon a technical justification for what was clearly a business decision from AMD, but none of the technical explanations hold up.

Most of the stack has a similar TDP to Zen1/Zen+/Zen2. The 5950X has the highest TDP, 105W, which is the same as the 3950X, which is allowed. In practice the 5950X actually pulls a bit less power. Furthermore, the A320 boards (even lower-end) got official support, despite a lot of those boards having utter trash VRMs.

(furthermore, there's nothing that guarantees that every A520 board has a VRM that is capable of supporting a 5950X either! it's not like board generation is some guarantee of VRM quality, there are X370 boards that can handle a 5950X and A520 boards that can't. That's not how support is determined.)

16MB bios isn't a limitation either. B450 boards are the literal exact same silicon - B350 is to B450 as Z170 is to Z270, basically, it's rebranded silicon - and B450 boards with 16MB BIOS got support. There are B450 boards with 16MB bios that support literally the entire range of chips. And once again, so did A320 boards with 16MB BIOS.

Releasing official support for A320 really just blew a hole in every retconned justification that people tried to make for AMD. It's uncouth to say it here on HN, but there really is a large number of people who are super emotionally attached to the AMD brand and willing to stretch to absurd lengths to justify what are clearly business decisions.

And now they're just reversing their previous policy. Wasn't a problem at all, actually.
There are people in the world who do not work inside.

Most people arrive at work between 7:45AM and 8:00AM. Which means they are up at 6-6:30 probably. Having some Sun during this time is nice for most people.
Many parents don't trust their 5 year to get on the bus everyday. High school can surely be moved back for areas with 100% bus availability (my district has not had buses since covid), but elementary school would be a much tougher sell.
We'd have to change work timing too, then, to facilitate dropoffs and parents who want to watch their kids at the bus stops. And at that point, we are back where we started. Better to just not mess with the time, and stick with standard time.
Kids shouldn't be forced to start that early anyway. It's borderline child abuse imo. Maybe permanent DST will lead to school schedules that benefit children not adults.
Grammer conversations are the very pineapple of useless discourse, and I don't see why we don't nip them in the butt. Weather you say "literally" or "figuratively", both are equally understandable for all intensive purposes. So as far as I'm concerned these arguments serve no porpoise and we'd be better off if they faded into Bolivian.
Uh - no. You don’t have to be there to ensure the kid gets on. You teach your kid how to be responsible and a good person so that they get on without you having to helicopter over them for everything.

Maybe I'm just a terrible parent, but I wouldn't trust my 5 year old to walk to her stop and get on the bus at a specific time every morning without a parent around to push her to do it.
Morning vs Evening Light Treatment of Patients With Winter Depression

I moved from Indiana to Norway. You just get used to it and it isnt a big deal (sunrise is closer to 10am in December, with sunset around 2 or 2:30pm). Folks with winter depression sometimes struggle more here than they did in Indiana, but the doctors are prepared for this.
Yes the police are in the wrong for torturing him. If the thief says nothing and the police find the car with a dead child inside he gets murder charges added to his grand theft auto charges. This is already the established law when a death occurs during the commission of a felony. It's why get away drivers for a bank robbery can be charged as well with the murders that happened at others' hands inside the bank.

You attack the problem with the rule of law, not unleashing your justice system from the reins of lawful behavior whenever they internally deem it convenient.
Not during the winter if this change goes through. In much of the northern US, sunrise won't be until after 8 am on many days.
* which doesn't need batteries or plugging in *

So, uh, it has to be solar powered only? That sounds fantastically niche and not like something someone would want to design/build.

I think any reasonable "work" performance level would require too large an area of solar cells in order to be practical, especially if it should work indoors.
Because the hours of sunlight are limited, and many people prefer having the sun set in the afternoon over having it rise after the day's routine is well under way. Many people prefer it the other way around. There are some inconveniences both ways, but we'll make it work one way or the other.
Boston is on the Eastern edge of its time zone so it's not a great example. Seattle's latest sunrise will be almost 09:00.
A bunch of missed healthcare appointments (not everyone uses their phone to tell the time!) happen after the change and diminishes over the following weeks.
While speaking from limited expertise, it is my general understanding these layoffs are a vital part in keeping a company lean and reducing bloat. Over time, in any company, some roles will be made redundant and is the reason for these occasional layoffs. If I was an investor, I would see this as a good sign of vision and a clear direction.

> What are you using the first couple hours of your day for except to get ready for work?

Here's 1 day from last week, before DST:

5:00 AM: wake up

5:15 - 6:30: lift

6:30: breakfast, coffee, and paper on the porch, watch the sun rise.

7:15: go shower, dress, pack lunch, get ready for work

7:30: leave for work

7:50: arrive at work

2 things I enjoy, a few hours of "free time", before work. And by the way, showing up at work around 8 is more common than arriving at 9 for most corporate jobs. The tech bubble is real on this site. Guess why? Because we like having some light left in the evening/ending our day earlier, among other reasons.

> We should be pushing back school starting times anyway.

No, learning to get up early forces kids to learn to go to bed on time, that's a valuable skill that teaches discipline. If a kid has to suffer through getting up on 5 hours sleep they probably won't make that mistake again.

Who is the "we" you're talking about here
True. However seems like nearly all cars with enough power to lose traction in normal conditions have advanced traction control systems. After all nearly all passenger cars have ABS these days and it's just a matter of software to retard the timing/throttle as needed to reduce traction.

Even fairly midrange cars like the Subaru crosstrek ($22.6k), Toyota RAV4 ($26.5k), and Honda CR-v ($26.4k) have pretty advanced traction control systems and the average cost of a new car in the USA is $47,077. In fact the traction control system is the number one complaint for those driving in the snow, except for the Subaru. Not of those 3 cars are particularly fast and reviews often mention the lack of power.

Way too soon. Stupidly so IMHO.

I went through the last DST law change, and it took quite a lot of work in many IT areas. Unixes weren't too bad, but there was all the JREs, databases, etc.

And that's not getting into all the embedded and industrial gadgets.
Will this mean sending out an update to every single phone and gadget that changes automatically? On the iPhone you can just turn it off, so I would imagine not seeing it in future updates?

I'd argue being single is the biggest boost to productivity. If you could put those thoughts aside, you have all the time in the world to pursue your goals and activity. Once you have a partner or someone else in your life, now your time becomes divided. You'll have to consider your partner and dedicate time to them to make sure the relationship can prosper.
All I'm going to say is that - after experiencing about a decade of living in AZ and not worrying about toggling time - I'd still be in that camp that support permanently choosing a time.

Sealed in Stone (2006)
It's worth mentioning a satirical essay Benjamin Franklin wrote when he stayed in Paris as part of a diplomatic mission in which he basically chastises the citizens of Paris for not waking up with the sun.

http://www.webexhibits.org/daylightsaving/franklin3.html

Here is a quote of how he suggest to change their lazy manners:

"Every morning, as soon as the sun rises, let all the bells in every church be set ringing; and if that is not sufficient?, let cannon be fired in every street, to wake the sluggards effectually, and make them open their eyes to see their true interest."

To me it bears so much resemblance to people's imminent fear of having a late sunrise.
Time doesn't have an "off"-ness when it is solely the way people measure the time between sunrise and sunset. If the methods used to measure time is changed, it is changed, but not in the consequence of it being "wrong" forevermore.

I suspect HN skews Californian, and as a Californian with 4 kids, none of them have ever ridden a school bus.

In theory the secondary school kids can take the city bus, however to use my junior high kid as an example, that changes a sub 10-minute drive into a 20 minute walk that crosses a state highway plus a 20 minute bus ride, so what actually happens is the school parking lots all back up onto the local streets every morning as each parent drops their kid off at school.
From my perspective it pretty much depends on if you are an internally or externally structured person.

I am far more productive when I am single, since my whole day is structured internally and I can focus on the things I am really interested in for as long as I want to.

Whereas a partner sets timeframes, which can also help to structure your day but isn’t very intuitive.
Think of all the code that needs changed. I can wait another year or two, just as long as we actually commit and follow through.
Then perhaps school buses can change their protocol so that children don't have to be waiting outside for the pickup. Or maybe there can be some sort of notification system installed. Or some other solution to fix this specific use case without upending everything else with a massive clock shift. This is a technology forum.
That's why law is hard. Even the contrived situations occur.
I am arguing against the following assertions:

"I wouldn’t have left this seemingly negative for no reason comment had you not identified DO’s documentation strategy as an early insight. It was an early insight, but absolutely, definitively not theirs. They raised the VC to get exposed to this audience and successfully presented nearly all of Linode’s business insights as their own, and it’s understandable that it seems that way if you didn’t follow Linode before DO.

The first several years of DigitalOcean’s existence made it very clear they looked at Linode and said that, but with funding rounds. And that’s fine. They’ve done well. But let’s not attribute insights to their copies of things; their primary corporate insight all along was realizing Linode was handicapped with bootstrapped capital alone. And to give them credit, it was undeniably savvy to apply Linode’s successes to scaling DigitalOcean. It just means it’s not their ingenuity in any sense of the word."

I did follow Linode before DigitalOcean. I did espouse the wonders of Linode, day in, day out. I did resist switching from Linode to DigitalOcean for years because of brand loyalty. I do consider Linode very important in shaping the industry, but I categorically disagree with the assertion that DigitalOcean's core insight was that Linode were cash-poor and all someone needed to do was "Linode but with VC". Your time at Linode and your damaged relationship with Linode are not evidence that DigitalOcean is Linode-but-with-money.

We aren't discussing your lived reality, we're discussing your dismissal of the achievements of DigitalOcean.
A300/A320/X300 were always the exception to the Zen3 lockout code. You could run a 5950X on a $30 trash A320 board with a 16MB BIOS and a 3-phase VRM, but not a Crosshair VI Hero.

anyway, there's nothing stopping vendors from releasing support for A300, Asrock simply has abandoned the Deskmini A300 and doesn't want to support it anymore. That one isn't on AMD, Asrock just seems to have abandoned it.
Federal law currently allows states to opt out of DST and use permanent Standard Time. It doesn't permit states to use permanent DST.

It's not a big deal. The phrase "solar noon will occur at 12:59pm" is perfectly intelligible. The scheduling of human affairs is political. The time shift is completely rational and even points to the fact that we as humans take up nature and put it to work for us. We give it meaning, we humanize nature. There is nothing wrong with this. Nobody is trying to legislate the position of the sun relative to the earth. The terms will retain a perfectly clear meaning in their respective contexts.
Does no one realize that this means that we all have to get up one hour earlier year round?

9 months after the final change, it'll just be regular time and it'll no longer be early.

That kids will have to travel to school in the dark for the majority of the year, including in most cases standing around in the freezing cold at unlit bus stops?

Why are your stops unlit? I mean, that isn't due to the time, but a basic infrastructure failure. In some areas, though, a neighborhood will communally pay for a streetlight - you might be able to get some installed in your neighborhood.

I'll mention that kids here (Norway) walk to school in the dark and freezing weather. They stand at bus stops, too. Not a big deal.
I really do not care enough to argue for and against either one. Neither should you, because this discussion will be used as a justification to retain the status quo and I do not accept that either solution is worse than the status quo.
Those people can get up later?

It really doesn't matter whether we're on daylight time or standard time, schedules will adjust to whatever makes sense for that particular locale. Just stop changing the damn clocks back and forth.

I didn't realize the "Scratch" interface was called "frame based editing" [1]. Interesting.

My experience with novice programmers is that they have the most problems with code syntax and formatting. The fact that one misplaced comma or semicolon can prevent the whole program from running is incredibly frustrating and for many, is a significant obstacle that prevents further progress. I've seen with my own eyes, 10 year olds break down crying in frustration over a missing semicolon.

But I think it's too early to "standardize" on this particular solution to the problem just yet. I feel we need a few more iterations before it is fully baked.

Millions of people around the world code every day at all levels of ability. When a better development system is devised, it'll just naturally take over and we'll see it everywhere. This isn't it yet.
