They can legally fire you on the spot, yes, but all that means is that the fired person can't sue their former employer. That doesn't mean it's actually a good strategy for the employer to do so frequently, because the employer's relationship with any given employee doesn't exist in a vacuum, and has effects on the employer's relationship with other employees and potential hires.
I think what they are getting it is that someone called it "pro-abortion". It is usually called "pro-choice", because it is abortion rights that most pro-choice people are in favor of rather than abortion itself.

I've certainly met vastly more people who want to preserve Roe v. Wade because they want to preserve a woman's right to choose than people who want to preserve Roe v. Wade because they think that we need more abortions. I can't recall ever meeting someone who was actually pro-abortion.

Even those who think we should significantly lower the population almost always want to do that through better contraception, not through more abortions.
Because of the light switch.
> For instance the fact that a car owner can travel large distances to work or spend money any time they like is a massively beneficial externality.

You shouldn't have to travel long distances to do those things. This is only considered normal in the US because so much was built specifically for the convenience of drivers.
What does "win" mean, here? If you mean "occupy the whole of the Ukraine", that seems implausible. If you mean "strengthen their hold on the parts of the Ukraine they'd already occupied", then I mean, maybe that could happen?

The west's approach in that circumstance would probably be to leave the sanctions in place indefinitely.
Sure, but - and I say this with considerable respect because it in no way detracts from the impressiveness of the work - that's clearly a bug, and I would hope most production web servers don't fall over quite that easily.

Matrix actually came out of frustration from implementing RCS, and wondering if we could do better. There was no influence from Snowden; the reason that Matrix is E2EE is just common sense to avoid smearing plaintext data everywhere.
I think this is less a simile and more a physical reality.

What is your arm but a series of sensations and connections in your brain? Your arm is a physical thing; but to the extent that it exists to you, it exists in your brain.

So I think the loss of an arm is probably very similar in an actual not just a metaphorical sense. Although I would easily choose losing my arm over losing one of my loved ones.
I mentioned it a few times here already, but why not again :-)

The arcade conversion from way back in the 80s was one of my favorite multiplayer games, especially since you played concurrently rather than turn based. My recollection was that you could turn both the gravity and inertia off and so thrust was fast and instant as were stops. Great fun.

A real highlight was (possibly 3 years to the day) going to the Computer History Museum in Mountain View where they have a PDP-1 and allowed you play Spacewar! against other guests. Better still was that the docents leading the mini-tournament were Steve Russell and Peter Samson. (https://computerhistory.org/exhibits/pdp-1/)

I don't know if that will come back or not, but something special.
Most likely because those who can, don't unless they're paid for it. Which FOSS discourages by its nature.

The thing I don't understand in conversations around affordable housing is why does it have to be new construction?

Of course new construction is going to be expensive and full of bureaucracy. Many US cities have large stocks of older housing in moderate condition -- sure, it'd take some money to get them up to snuff, but nothing near what new construction would cost.

Your manager might also have a specific target for “unregretted attrition”, i.e. getting rid of people using the PIP process. If there is not a clear person who is the weakest link, then the manager will pick their least favorite. And remember, performance is very subjective.

I have seen a couple of people get fired for cause; that was always clear. I’ve never seen an unambiguous PIP.
Indeed. That's a separate issue for society to examine.
One fairly plausible explanation is that Putin is not, as everyone assumed, an evil genius, but is rather an evil idiot. But it was probably largely to shore up his internal position (one of the downsides of being a dictator is that your retirement options are limited, so they often go very odd in their old age as they try to avoid appearing weak), and that might even work. There's some indication he's more popular internally than he was a couple of months ago.

Like, there's no outcomes here that are good for Russia, but there are outcomes which are good for Putin personally, and that's likely all he's interested in.

I don't think it's counter productive at all. There was a period of time, when the appendix was (absurdly) considered vestigial, that surgeons would remove the appendix as a side quest if they happened to have the area opened for some other purpose.

That was a terrible idea, but one that was supported by science at the time. There are practical reasons to be skeptical about scientific assumptions.

Science becomes less wrong faster if we allow history to remind us that a lot of what we believe will likely turn out to be wrong.

They were actually quite nice about it, unblocked my card and down the road I went. Good for them, but they should have terminated that guy because he really did get so obnoxious that I actually thought I was taking to a scammer.
"The measures came into force last year and gave firms with a main executive office in California until December 31, 2021 to have a member on their boards from groups including LGBT, Black, Latino, Asian, Native American or Pacific Islander."

The headline focusing on LGBT is a reflection of the concerns of Newsweek's owners, not the law. The law is dictating a quota of a single non-white, non-straght person on all California corporate boards. Current Newsweek has no relationship to the old Newsweek (which was also terrible) other than branding. This is a spinoff of the International Business Times (also crap.)

It looks like they may be controlled by another creepy religious right-wing Asian prosperity cult, so basically The Epoch Times, UPI, The Washington Times, or whatever Happy Science is doing on Youtube.

Don't be fooled by branding.

"Note From the Editors: As we were reporting this story, Newsweek Media Group fired Newsweek Editor Bob Roe, Executive Editor Ken Li and Senior Politics Reporter Celeste Katz for doing their jobs. Reporters Josh Keefe and Josh Saul were targeted for firing before an editor persuaded the company to reverse its decision. As we continued working on the story, we were asked to take part in a review process, which, we ultimately learned, involved egregious breaches of confidentiality and journalism ethics. We believe that subjects of the story were shown parts of the draft, if not the entire piece, prior to publication by a company executive who should not have been involved in the process. At an on-the-record interview with the subjects of this story, a company official asked editors to identify confidential sources. On-the-record sources were contacted and questioned about their discussions with Newsweek Media Group reporters. We resisted their efforts to influence the story and, after learning of the review's ethical failings, the reporters and editors involved in this story felt they would be forced to resign. At that point, a senior Newsweek Media Group executive said the company's owners would ensure independent review and newsroom autonomy going forward. This story was written and edited Tuesday, free of interference from company executives."
My FAANG team does 2x screening interviews plus a round of 3 to 4 full interviews. We try to interview at most 4 candidates in the full loop. That’s about 5 hours of interview time, and the average candidate will succeed by the 3rd or 4th interview.

Given that we are making a $200-600k+ decision and that the average candidate stands to gain tens of thousands of dollars or more, the 20-40 hours spent interviewing seems time well spent on both sides.

I'd say, just force yourself to beat it. This is what I did with the first Dark Souls, which got me hooked. I hated it at the start, the combat seemed clunky, and I got stuck on the first major boss for days. But the extreme adrenaline rush of beating that boss gave me the motivation to keep playing, and after many more exciting fights and encounters, I came to the realization that it was one of the best games I had ever played. But it's easy to get stuck on the first big hump, no doubt.
Yeah, but the worst will also have an easier time. Missing out on a great developer is still a good deal if you also prevent 10 mishires.

This is why luxury housing and condos is actually helpful for lower-income housing - the luxury housing of 60 years ago becomes the affordable housing as the top of the market continues moving into better places.

Basically all housing whatsoever is helpful. But the optics of it makes it difficult to understand.

This argument doesn’t seem sound. Stigma for drugs increases and decreases over time. That wouldn’t happen if it was a question of the drug being inherently harmful or not. You seemed to have missed a third case of opponents of a drug becoming more powerful than its users and sympathizers. See US prohibition of alcohol and the global criminalization of many drugs in ~1971.
This behavior is ironic considering Marks 'free speech' stance regarding other controversial topics. Also, I was not aware that our pension fund owned 1% of Meta. That has to change.
> I'm not certain GNU parallel's approach to obtaining funding is a good strategy,

Indeed, it's a good question! I know that, for the SGI UV300 we got through an NIH S10 grant, the usage of the supercomputer is tracked by looking for the grant number in publication acknowledgements. Yes, we already got the money, so you may wonder "what does it matter?", but our ability to get future funding (especially as the UV300 nears retirement age) depends (at least in part) on showing how well we used our previous funding.

In our case, the funding came through an NIH grant, so we ask people reference the grant number. But more broadly, and especially for software, issuing a DOI for released versions (through a service like Zenodo https://zenodo.org), along with a request for acknowledgement, gives a way to track usage. For example, the 20150322 release of parallel (DOI 10.5281/zenodo.16303) has been cited at least 63 times (per https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.16303).

Looking at https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=D7I0K34AAAAJ&hl=en, it seems the 2011 version of Parallel has been cited over 1,000 times.

The author is at the University of Copenhagen (per the Google Scholar link above), so it's entirely possible that at least some of the funding for his employment is coming from sources that use citation counts as an indicator that they are "getting their money's worth" by continuing to fund (at least part of) Mr. Tange's employment.
I recently applied for an effectively specialized support job at a FAANG.
After filling up a form ~40min, and one technical interview ~1hr, I got an email to congratulate me for moving onto the next stage and to get ready for 5x 1hr interviews.

In NZ where I am from, this is unheard of, so I asked if they were paid interviews and what is the pay range for this job (since it was not discussed at all at this point). They very carefully made sure not to answer any of the questions so I said I won't proceed with my application and gave a bit of feedback that they are looking for desperate people, not talented people.

Ridiculous, they are not worth my time.

For the curious, eligible movies must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

At least one actor from an underrepresented racial or ethnic group must be cast in a significant role.

The story must center on women, L.G.T.B.Q. people, a racial or ethnic group or the disabled.

At least 30 percent of the cast must be actors from at least two of those four underrepresented categories.
Its closer to a config file / internal functions that modify the state variables of a system instead of generating objects. The junk DNA doesn't explicitly get read, but it interacts in nonlinear ways with the executable "text" portion of the DNA.

It is always wrong. Compiler optimization and CPU dark magic like instruction reorder will wreak havoc on your unprotected reads. That is what undefined behavior really means, not “it’s actually defined but we don’t want to tell you”.
Well my hypothesis is that there is too much talent applying to each offer. So companies have to build a process that evaluates all candidates to be sure they only hire the best according to them. It's FOMO.

In the past company I was working, they boasted off only hiring the best, and having like 5 interviews, skipping tons of candidate. And the one they were hiring at the end were consistently worse developers and product managers than average.

I don't think that skill of tech employees is strongly linked to company performance (but I have no data on it). Meaning hiring the best developers will not impact the financial metrics of a company. As a result of that it doesn't really matter if your hiring process is performant or not
It takes 10 minutes to drive 5 miles at 30mph, walking that same distance would take a typical person about 90 minutes. 5 miles is a large distance and wanting to go somewhere that’s 5 miles away is normal for any place in the world.
That’s pro-semantics. I’d rather not play word games. If you’re pro-choice you are pro-abortion
That is still huge. Mostly these are ordinary people pursuing their interests and sharing. The profits may be modest, but are on the same scale as employment they are qualified for and with much better fit and volatility.

I would say either a field requires calculus or not. If yes, then you need to know it, full stop. And if it doesn't you don't need it, full stop. It's not the case that if you need it, it makes you 10x more productive.

All architects needs architecture knowledge; you can't just say "knowing architecture makes architects 10x more productive".
That same article, in analyzing the trends, gave the opposite opinion though: that we were less likely to enter a recession than some had thought:

"Wednesday's figures, suggesting resilient consumer spending and strong-than-expected housebuilding, is likely to ease fears that the US will enter recession."
I've worked at a FAANG for almost 5 years. I know probably a dozen or two people who have been PIP'd. I even know one guy who was PIP'd twice and then left when he was given his third PIP.

This is one of several comments you've written where you've acknowledged you don't know what the use case is. But you've stridently insisted that they should have used Aurora Postgres or Aurora MySQL. You get how strange this take is, right?

One thing that would have helped your writing on this thread: a lot more question marks. It's OK not to understand something! Asking questions helps everybody.
You're not out of touch, the industry is.

I firmly believe that nobody knows what they are doing when it comes to hiring and everyone is just following each other.

It's as if interview loops are so long winded that only the ones with enough willpower/endurance survive. They also tend to expand so much time that each company is hopeful to find a better candidate in that duration. Yet corporations don't tend to take into account optimal stopping into their hiring practices and end with less than ideal candidates or come out with no candidate at all.

Personally I think more companies should hire faster and improve their performance evaluation processes to fire faster. It shouldn't take more than 2-3 interviews to get enough "data points" that someone has potential to grow in the position. Especially at this level of pay and responsibility, you should have something online to show you're competent already. Everything else is corporatism and appeasing the social agenda.

Some big tech companies you can get hired and never get fired. Other companies you can get PIP'd although you'd be a 10x contributor at another big tech company. The goal posts will continue to move as tech jobs become more accessible to the world. I think that's a good thing, but I think we should challenge what is normal to land a job in the first place. 5-7 is ridiculous and costly for all parties involved.
It is clear that parasites do change our genome and how we express our genes in order to further transmit themselves. It would not be surprising that good looks, lower body fat, etc increases sexual contact and therefor transmission.

Good on your company; PIP should focus on shoring up skill gaps or finding better role fit or invinting someone to take unpaid LOA to work through whatever life challenge they have.

I'd love to know what, in his view, creates the inevitability that Democracies die (or become autocratic) during times of war. Is it because the state becomes more aggressive/potentially overreaching in order to combat an enemy, never releases that power, and citizens either absolutely hate it or go along with it?

While I don't support the war on Ukraine, it's fascinating to hear this guy's perspective. Especially if Russians are largely choosing to support the war as recent articles are saying, it can only help us to understand why people would embrace it.
There's only a very, very small difference between those two things though. I'm not hiring anyone based on either of those bulletpoints or similar ones; no matter how many there are.

It's so easy to inflate your role on a project and what you contributed and the people who are best at it are usually also able to talk, talk, talk.

The first interview question I ask is so easy that I don't think anyone should be paid to write software anywhere if they can't solve it. And yet, I have candidates with plenty of nice bulletpoints like your second one on their resume who can't solve it or take 30-45 minutes to solve it. Good candidates take less than 10 minutes, very good ones take less than 5.
