It isn't just a one person show, is all I'm saying. The many are more capable than the one. Even if mistakes get made, there are processes (maybe a better word than systems) in place to keep it from turning into a failure in the wild, and if it does sneak through, it's a relatively simple roll back.

When a new hire comes on, that institutional knowledge must get passed on - hopefully there is good documentation, though it's never as good as hoped. No matter how well a new hire does on their knowledge test, TBH, the most important thing I hope someone I get to work with is culture fit and the ability to learn fairly quickly =[ how to interview for that is pretty difficult, though.
Not in housing. We’ve MADE housing expensive; the market would be making it cheaper if we simply didn’t prevent people from building more.
"But why is your project here establishing a narrow definition of racism with a high burden of proof?"

I don't believe my statement is looking for a narrow definition,
just a valid one. I'd like some level of proof. It doesn't have to be high. The real problem here is the insinuation that people who bring up potentially valid issues related to a low income housing project are racist. Their concern could be a valid one with no racial basis.

"What matters here is the impact, not the intention."

Please, do show me a definition that shows intent is not a component. The dictionaries I looked at do not agree with you. Even then, would it be racist for you to assume a specific race is disproportionately affected by low income housing? If a race is affected disproportionately by lack of housing, are you inviting any of the affected people to share your home? Does that make you racist?

"Systems and policies that have disparate racial impacts are racist."

No, they have "disparate racial impacts".

By your definition, what system isn't racist? Every system has some disparity of racial impact, even if it is meritorious (take the recent posts on here about Harvard quotas and Asians). I firmly believe that without intent, a system is not racist, but could have racial disparities - there is a difference. The definition you're trying to push seems to be more worthy of the insults you're pushing at me.

You mention a racist policy. What policy is that? As there is not one mentioned in the context of sentence mentioning racism.
This supports the theory that Putin is a) a rational actor who was b) fed bad information about Ukraine's political disposition, and so c) appeared to act irrationally. Snowden knew a, didn't know b, and then felt rebuked by c. I would tell him: it's okay, Ed, how could you have known?
Your pay is not due to your education level in this world. It's equal to your ability to demand it. Unions don't magically mean you have all the power in the world, it only helps to level the bargaining table.

My wife is a union teacher, and makes a six figure salary. She's hardly a victim, and it's all thanks to her union, and the work of many union members for decades prior.

It doesn't happen overnight, and that may be the problem your union teacher friends are running into.
Yeah, I didn’t realize that until I saw other people mention it. Felt kind of guilty, since I’d flicked it a few times thinking it set the mode only for me.

What is this mainstream media garbage about tumblr being racist. I used to post gothic poetry on that website many years ago and it would blow up with hundreds, no thousands, of engagements, even though I literally didn't know anyone who used the platform. It's a shame what happened to Tumblr. We live under an oppressive authoritarian regime that systematically bans, blacklists, decimates, and destroys literally anywhere on the Internet where the working class has fun.
This is the sort of person who got a degree in writing essays and was never any good at it. Her target is NOT casino gambling. It's the 'Big Tech' boogeyman that conservatives hate nowadays. And if you cut out the third and final paragraph, you'd never know it. Given that she's such an absolute luddite, nobody should be shocked that she is enraged that casinos and tech companies use... modern product design techniques...

This is old man yelling at the sky level silliness masquerading as rational thought. I'd love to see her essay attacking oil and chemical companies for buying out riverfront land (eminent domain or otherwise) owned by families since before this country was founded to plop down gigantic, polluting refineries that raise cancer rates among people who never work there, but I doubt she likes that sort of parallel narrative.
I completely agree. The idea that X% of new housing has to be sold at under market rate makes no sense to me. It just artificially increases the cost of the market rate units. You would build more housing if it were all sold at market rate (since it’s more profitable to build, and then more will get built/developers will be more incentivized to build) and have lower market rate prices. It seems fairer for the “below market rate” housing to just be the not-new housing at the actual market rates.

For some reason California is obsessed with the idea that housing is too expensive, so we need to force new construction to subsidize middle-middle class housing via a lottery system, which keeps housing expensive
Just like a home lock, this won't keep out the dedicated grifter. But it'll make things a lot harder for someone looking to make a quick buck in an unethical way.
Thanks, this comment really made me think. I noticed a lot of the same things you did, but my impression was much less negative.

Maybe it’s because of the presentation. In many open world games the UI makes it clear that there are “X towers to climb” or “Y camps to clear”… there’s a checklist of goals. Elden Ring just lets players stumble on things as they will. Even as the map design may be similar to other open world games I feel less pressure to “do all the things”; as a result my personal journey feels more organic.

I did recognize the template pieces used in caves/mines and it did turn me off a bit. But because I’m not guided to clear all of them checkbox style it was less offensive. In a way it’s smoke and mirrors: a lack of information makes the design more mysterious than it really is.

A sibling comment mentions that the length makes multiple playthroughs a pain, but I generally am a one and done for souls games.

In another thread I commented that the open world gives a casual player more options instead of getting forever stuck on a single challenge. I think that feeling of freedom combined with faster (but buggy) movement is responsible for the broader appeal and high scores. Oh and the art direction doesn’t hurt.
Inceptor – Template-Driven AV/EDR Evasion Framework
When you have TC (total cholesterol) < 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter) - each 1mmol/L (millimoles per liter) reduces mortality.

When you have TC > 200 mg/dL - each 1mmol/L increases mortality.

The confidence interval was high.

> In the age groups of 18–34, 35–44, 45–54, 55–64, 65–74, and 75–99 years, each 1 mmol/L higher TC increased mortality by 14%, 13%, 8%, 7%, 6%, and 3%, respectively (P < 0.001 for each age group), for TC ≥ 200 mg/dL, while the corresponding TC changes decreased mortality by 13%, 27%, 34%, 31%, 20%, and 13%, respectively, in the range < 200 mg/dL (P < 0.001 for each age group). TC had U-curve associations with mortality in each age-sex group. TC levels associated with lowest mortality were 210–249 mg/dL, except for men aged 18–34 years (180–219 mg/dL) and women aged 18–34 years (160–199 mg/dL) and 35–44 years (180–219 mg/dL). The inverse associations for TC < 200 mg/dL were stronger than the positive associations in the upper range.
I guess that was just an instance of the "Survivor Bias". I burnt hundreds of CD-R/DVD-R/DVD-RW disks from a various of vendors(mostly Sony, TDK, Verbatim, Kodak, maybe some other brands which I could not remember clearly, each brand should be at least 50 as I had always bought 50 pack tubes.) around 15 years ago and left them untouched for around 8 years when I needed to retrieve something from those archives. So I decided to check the health of those disks which was quite disappointing. I simply tried if I could read the first 10 disks in each tube and it turned out, for a brand, all 10 were not even able to be recognized. Other brands performed from 3, to 8 in 10 disks could be read. That was just simply trying to read, so the integrity of the contents were not checked at all. The only good thing was that I managed to locate what I was looking for and it was in RAR format which validates the hash when extracting, it was good. So I immediately tried to move those I wanted to keep to HDDs and the loss rate was over 50%, and for those recovered, I didn't have much confidence regarding their integrity neither as no checksums saved. So basically I wasted lots of time and money by choosing optical drives as archive media. In the mean time, all files I left on HDDs were perfectly fine. This might be another survivor bias too.
"Advanced NPs to substitute for doctors": I suspect future you describe is one driven by a private equity race to extract profit by lowering costs NOT to provide affordable or better care for more individuals.
>Hats off for describing Boneh's fault attack paper as "completely theoretical", though! Bold!

You stopped quoting too soon. I described it as a "completely theoretical hardware attack". In practice it would have to be some sort of glitch attack capable of causing actual bit flips. My point is that it has nothing to do with RSA implementation as it was described in the article.

International unions would prevent that. Can't cut corners if everyone you hire is united to ensure everyone is treated equally by the company.

That's what a "farm team" is for, developing folks with a growth mindset. Never thought of it as either miserable or terrifying.
There exists a non-zero total cholesterol (TC) concentration in blood which is correlated with the minimum all-cause mortality in human beings.

Meaning: lower cholesterol is not always correlated with lower mortality.
The difficulty is that as a society we have already gone some way towards identifying protected group status, even though there is some disagreement near the edges. The definition does not cover the distinction between people of Scots-Irish descent living in Appalachia and those from Northern English Puritan descent with a history in New England. Perhaps it should, but it currently does not, and so until we shift the broad definition of protected group status, that sort of distinction is casually tossed into the "don't care" bin by current social and legal norms.

I personally am in the "class matters more in terms of discriminiation than race", but I acknowledge serious and well-intentioned and well-informed objections to this understanding. I would prefer to see us focus on class-based discrimination (with class defined primarily in economic terms), because I think this more equitable and ultimately gives us greater (social) bang for each (legal) buck. That said, the category of "underrepresented" in the CA law is broadly (though not precisely) in line with current legal understanding, and I'm not sure it's based on a different concept that current civil rights laws or jurisprudence. The real issue is whether the state can pro-actively discriminate in an attempt to remediate the discrimination it has stated as its target.
You haven't said anything real here. Everyone agrees you should have to do at least some extra paperwork to get the tax breaks. The point of contention is how much paperwork. Is it 1 page? Is it 100 pages? Is it 10,000 pages? A day of extra paperwork or 5 years of extra paperwork? How many hurdles exactly are needed? That's what the discussion is. Many people think that what this Twitter thread is describing is too many hurdles. Are you saying you think this seems like a perfectly correct amount of hurdles?
The thing about cliches is that they only become that via repetition.

For example at one point it wasn’t a cliche to talk about Lord of the Rings characters over alternating bouts of English folk music and heavy rock. And then it was. But in the middle there was the part where people waited in line outside the record store and rushed home to get it on the turntable and had their minds blown.

As someone who was around and actually working as a record producer in the same era this letter was written I feel confident saying that the ethos described here was in fact out of step with the mainstream approach to making rock and roll records. Doing things the way he’s describing was in fact an “alternative” approach to coin a phrase.

That it was rapidly becoming the mainstream at the time and eventually a cliche is also true. But I think it’s fun to evaluate things in the relevant context, or you’ll skip right from considering things obscure to overdone and miss the exhilarating part where something genuinely valuable and novel is gaining mass acceptance for the first time.
Am I the only one that seems to think there is some correlation is not causation here with the numbers?
That’s the biggest problem with optical disks. With no automation, it’s totally impractical for one person to maintain a full backup of everything they care about. 100TB is like 2000 discs plus parity.

Using a Kindle isn't the same experience for small children as being able to pick up a book and either flip through it or have a parent read it to them.
Housing is yet another example of how the more government - The Fed + Federal and local - weighs in (read: thumb on the scale) the more things get distorted. Slapping "fixes" on top of that isn't going to fix anything, as we keep seeing time and again.

Those calling for more and more of that same? You're part of the problem.
> looked up a little on K (18-27Ghz) and Ka band (26.5-40Ghz), but both seem to be still unfeasible for long range communications

umm, Ka band is rather popular for satellite communications (very long range by most standards!). Yes things like L band are great for propagation and penetration, but the fundamental motivation for going to higher frequencies is that they can carry more data. This is the same reason you don't get music on AM radio--there's not enough bandwidth for good sound quality.
Speculation in the discussion section is that while lower TC (below the limits cited above) is correlated with lower cardiac risk, it seems to be correlated with a higher risk of death. So the implication is there's something else bad for your health about being out of the sweet spot they observed in the data.
Horrible edge cases when dealing with music
If unions were actually beneficial to workers, then companies would have a very hard time hiring non-union workers.

And they do. Everyone wants to work at union shops where I live (midwest). UPS, or any other Teamster shop, John Deere, you name it. It's hard to get on.

You can get a job at any old non-union warehouse though. They can't keep people. I'm shocked you even made that statement, in the everyday world everyone wants a union shop job or government job. Most everything else is exploitation in pay, benefits and protection.

Yes, that electromagnetic spectrum chart is totally weird. They go directly from microwaves to ultrasound. Based on wavelength? No mention of the RF spectrum from UHF, VHF, HF, LF, VLF....

There are lots of uses for terahertz waves, if they become cheap to generate and sense. Lots of things could use high-definition short-range radar.
Right now, experimental radars are pushing 300GHz.[1] Most commercial stuff is below 100GHz.

Have you ever been in a job or taken a class with other people and not been able to see the different between the more competent and more incompetent people?
This isn't a guaranteed full time job. For all intents and purposes, it's a short term contract with very little notice. Dev time is like anything else, if you buy in bulk (say... 2000 hours a year) and on a regular schedule, you can get some pretty good discounts.

I'm in the mid-west, and that's a little under my rate for short-term low-notice (read: emergency) contract work. I can't imagine anyone on either of the coasts is going to jump at it.
The municipality that I'm in lets developers ignore the state-wide law that mandates certain amounts of affordable housing to be built in new developments. The developers and real estate investors that are government officials also don't like to recuse themselves from such matters, either.
So like QuantConnect?
> Unless you meant that new functions could be annotated as pure in order to avoid future errors in code not yet written?

Precisely. New functions can be written to treat all pre-existing memory as immutable, and we can be confident that that data won't change.

For example, if the pure function sees a unique_ptr<MyThing> somewhere in pre-existing memory, we'll know that that MyThing existed at the time of the pure function call, and will keep existing until the end of the pure function call; nobody can destroy it in-between.

Also, it's surprising how many functions in C++ are already effectively pure, and can add the annotation with little (or zero) refactoring. But we don't have to do this, the benefit for new code is enough.

> I'm not so sure a mandatory system would go over well for C++ since many who use it want shared mutability

This is opt-in; we don't have to annotate all our functions as pure, and we can still use shared mutability freely outside of pure functions. We can then hand a shared-mutable blob of data to a pure function, which will then treat it as a shared-immutable blob of data.

That's why I like this approach: one can write an entire program without it, and one can start using it whenever they want. It composes well like that.

Also, if one wants to leverage the region borrow checker outside of pure functions, that's possible too. In Vale, even when not in pure functions, one would make use of `iso` objects (little isolated sub-regions in an otherwise shared-mutable region, similar to Pony's `iso`) and treat those as immutable or mutable as one desires. I suspect it could work in C++ too, but nobody's tried it so I can't say for certain.
> This has more to do with communication and task choice than anything.

In some cases, task assignment instead of task choice. Sometimes by unluck of the draw, you just get assigned to a shit project with no visibility. You could be Einstein, write entirely bug-free code, and you’re not going to get rewarded for the work.

I’ve seen really mediocre people brown-nose and schmooze themselves onto a rocket ship project that takes off despite their mediocrity, and they get promoted to the moon. That’s how some VP’s and Directors are made. Meanwhile, a literal genius languishes away improving the performance of InvisibleInternalTool by 500%.

The older I get the more I realize how much corporate tech performance evaluation has to do with politics and bullshitting and “being highly visible” and how little it has to do with performance.
> I can’t imagine a situation where a bigoted foreign police officer is going to say “oh this person is probably just a privacy oriented civil libertarian, not some <insert horrible name for sexual minority>.”

Is this the case? I seldom deal with 3 interviews even; though I have been with my current employer for 3 years.

Have things changed that wildly in a couple years? If a company dragged me through 6 interviews I’d automatically assume they weren’t serious / were incredibly unorganized or unprofessional - and I would obviously take it as a red flag.
