~Every interview process I've gone through required an NDA at some point.

> I mean - I think it's fully legit for people to have a 'broad sense of the state of the company' - and companies should be prepared to speak to it in some way. But not exactly in the way people are asking.

A "sense of how the company is doing" is not anywhere near enough. The company can be doing extremely well and that still doesn't give me any indication what (for example) 10,000 shares are worth.

If a company won't provide at a minimum the percentage your equity grant represents and valuation at last funding round, you should rightfully value stock at $0.
You've picked one of the most famous sites for drugs in the country, and a video edited to show how bad it is. That's not representative of city streets any more than a highlight video of the mansion of biggest lottery winner ever is representative of lottery ticket buyers.

It's always been a mix. Inlining, unrolling, and otherwise choosing longer sequences of instructions that are faster is still a major theme of optimization and optimizing compilers.

Even on today's high performance CPUs, which are far more sophisticated than the primitive 5-stage scalar in-order R4300 (not sure it even had any branch prediction actually).
That's an oddly specific example. Pretty much everything I've written in Google Docs has been internal only, where I would rarely have an issue with the fuck word.
I think the parent has a good point to the extent that they do like creating content for who they perceive would be vocal about what they want to see. But I think adding shows, rather than taking away content, is akin to all the companies that proudly display "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion" banners but the board room and senior management is still mostly old white dudes. Perhaps with one POC holding the title of "Head of Diversity" or similar (but probably not a lot of say in what goes down). My take is that they're all just covering their bases/asses :D

Burning plastic is clearly dirty, but with sufficient heat and airborne pollutant scrubbers I doubt it's any worse than coal.

It depends on which plastic exactly (which is one of the reasons the whole "plastic=bad" mentality irritates me in the same way as stereotyping), but a regular plastic bag is going to be almost pure polyethylene --- essentially a very long-chain wax --- and combustion of that will definitely be cleaner than coal. At the other end are the halogenated polymers like PVC and PTFE whose combustion products are definitely much worse than coal.
Yeah, I don’t recommend buying coin on RH. They won’t let me touch the coin I bought because of my state.
If anything, they could block withdrawals so the coin would remain in their custody, no risk of sending coin to the “wrong” places (from rhs perspective). It would thus behave as it always did before “wen-wallets”

Highlights from the Comments on “Sadly, Porn”
Maybe, maybe not, we don't know the entire story. We don't agree with torture obviously, but at the same time, if that story is true, it may fall under publicizing homosexuality which I mentioned in my post, and the law is the law.

> simple as long hair

Depends on what this long hair is. Many bedouins have long hair for example, and it's perfectly fine.

> wearing earrings.

Earrings are for women. Effemination of men is not allowed.

> Not sex. Not "spreading ideology"

Those two examples can fall under spreading ideology (context dependent for the long hair obviously).

I'm not too worried about the battery issue. 22.04 lts comes out tomorrow so I'll do a clean install of that and get things dialed in this weekend.
Yes, but the fact that some bunch of idiots think that vaccines can make you grow a third head is not a proof that vaccines can't do any harm. That would be a logical fallacy.

Many good treatments are known still to be harmful for a small number of people with rare genetic combinations. The concept of reasonable risk is accepted in medicine.

So It must be checked still (removing this people from the equation and focusing in the know verified facts, instead to dismiss it by ad-hominem).
Pretty sure mythbusters tested this and were unable to recover anything discernable from pottery in their experiments a.k.a busted. Of course how much you trust the rigor of their research will tell you whether or not you trust their conclusion, but I would be genuinely stunned if such a thing were possible.

The funny thing is, most universities are accredited institutions in their own country. Which means that whoever gets their diploma is accredited too to work in any company in the field of their accreditation.

And this is the norm in many industries to signal your competence (plus the renewal in every X years).

Would you ask a surgeon to do a surgery before you hire him? So why do we put up with all this bullshit that low-IQ HR departments impose on us?

I would rather take the effort to pass accreditation each X years and then let me join a company with a simplified process (background check, personal interview, etc), than putting effort into practicing before each and every interview.
...they'd be investors.
Incidentally, I'm not personally very fond of "assigning an if-expression to a variable" since it disconnects the variable name from the value it gets. An example with two variables illustrates the point:

let (value, weight) = let (value, weight)
if values.empty() { if values.empty() {
(0, 1.0) value = 0
} else { weight = 1.0
(values[0], 1/values.len()) } else {
} value = values[0]
weight = 1/values.len()
}

I think the right (the "old way") is more readable. However it requires the variables be mutable or declaration be separable from initialization.
So if they’ve determined old games won’t be profitable, then why do they make it so difficult to access and play games that they haven’t sold for over 20 years? What do they gain from shutting down ROM sites other than the hatred of online communities?
Yeah, distance gets confusing. Things don't seem as big as they should.

But, I found a workaround for this. In VR chat, I walked around several worlds with my characters forward movement speed set to the same as my treadmill. Slowly (a mile or so), the worlds became huge, it was really surreal. It fixed the scaling for everything, and it lasted about a day afterward. Mountains were distant and huge. Buildings looked far away. It was a significant change.

I'm not surprised at all to learn this. The speed of deplatforming these days is extreme - it's really something, when 50 different companies simultaneously boot an entity from their services, completely cutting them off from the web. Almost as if there was some central coordination going on... well now we know for sure.
Every major vendor has a solution, as you can see from peer comments. I am partial to Google Cloud Run.
The fact that The Boring Company spends its efforts trying to build another iteration of a personal rapid transit system [1] as opposed to trying to win contracts for tunneling projects makes me think that they actually value their not-mass transit system design more than actually building better tunnels for existing systems. This is reinforced by the fact that the few times they have bid for transit proposals (e.g., the Chicago O'Hare express route), they're explicitly proposing noncompatibility with existing transit systems. And also the fact that the main way they seem to be trying to achieve cheaper tunneling principally by making smaller diameter tunnels rather than actually improving the ability to make tunnels similar to existing tunnels more cheaply.

[1] Amusingly, I think the Las Vegas one the company built may be the first PRT system to not be automated. For a guy who keeps touting futurism, failing to achieve similar capabilities to antecedents from 50 years ago is pretty ironic.
I recommend using descriptive names rather than marketing ones. Proper naming helps you understand and think about things accurately to remove psychological bias/koolaid.

Another term which is more descriptive for cloud native is vendor cloud lock-in, which could be reasonably but descriptively shortened to cloud-locked or cloud-married maybe.

Native sounds cool but completely loses sight of the cost of lock-in, while locked or married talks to both the benefits and the costs.
It’s not about spreadsheets per se. It’s more how the advent of agile and scrum forced a negative sentiment towards waterfall thinking and large steering committee meetings with lots of Gantts, budgets, and multi year roadmaps. So people turned to Jira to be agile. And here we are, producing good-looking diagrams for executives because Jira is too messy and hard to roll up to something executives can grasp.
I think there's a much stronger argument that cloudformation deploying your stacks gets to being imperative than the way you produce your cloudformation file.

The file is still declarative regardless, and the functions you write to create that file don't per se have side effects outside that file
A YouTuber purposely crashed his plane in California, FAA says
A part of this really stands out to me. The new privacy policy associated with this states that Apple collects device identifiers, your Apple ID and the current (GPS-)location of your device and shares this:
A.) with Apple to “develop new fraud prevention measures”
B.) with your “payment network” (read: your bank).

There is no option to opt-out of this, the privacy policy states that if you do not wish for Apple to collect this data and share it with your bank that you “must use another card”. In other words: you need to participate and agree to sharing this data with your bank or you can no longer use Apple Pay.

Am I the only one that thinks this is absolutely insane and goes hard against Apple’s promise for privacy? Why on earth would you give the bank all that information including the device location with no way to opt out? I also wonder if this sudden one-sided change is even legal under the GDPR considering Apple did not solicit any permission but simply gave a push notification stating “enhanced fraud protection” has now been enabled and that for any payment this data is now collected by Apple and subsequently shared with the bank.
It's already gamed to death.

I live in India and I've found astroturfed products on reddit (It's not popular here).

A while ago, I was looking at pet transportation companies. I came across many innocent looking threads asking for the same which had recommendations for companies.

Nothing suspicious except username which had a pattern. I searched for the pattern and found few more similar username doing same recommendation under similar thread.

In the end, all of it were accounts by the company or market firm hired by them.
Tragi-comedy even!
As a humble programmer with only occasional LP needs, not a data scientist or analyst, I have used Google OrTools with the C# binding. I do not understand the solution techniques, but the interface is simple enough that I have been able to produce useful optimization results without needing to ask an actual data person to help me. The problems I've encountered have just been difficulties in expressing my problem in LP terms. Once I've done so, using OrTools is essentially just typing it in.

One thing I don't like about OrTools is that it seems there are better solvers available if you compile it from source, but I failed to get it built. As a result, I use the "CBC_MIXED_INTEGER_PROGRAMMING" solver because it's built into the precompiled libraries, not because it's necessarily the best one. It's unclear to me what benefit other solvers offer; the solver doesn't seem to be where my problems typically are.
Nintendo, like many other Japanese companies, are very protective of their IP.

It depends on the situation, but by keeping a simpler architecture there's not necessarily any overhead. AWS has huge complexity which is a tradeoff against the complexity of simpler solutions, regardless of the $billing cost.
Posting articles like this from scientific journals like NEJM is not generally helpful to the lay public. Lay readers get no context, no background on the researchers, no discussion about the significance of the topic. This article might be retracted or the conclusion disproved and we would never be the wiser.
Where can I do this without drivers who will kill my kid? Cars (or SUV's and trucks, really) are faster, heavier, taller, more numerous, and driven far more miles now. They are why my kid can't walk/cycle to school.
I've tried quite a few open-source solvers but none of them come close to Gurobi. IMO its worth every penny and has great documentation and support.

> I feel less worried about drug dealers who have a rational economic reason for what they do than an untreated and unhoused paranoid schizophrenic with violent tendencies.

I've spent a lot of time on city streets and I've never seen these putative people. The good news is that these bogey-people are unicorns. I've seen some people acting unhinged, but they are very easy to avoid - much easier than cars and unwanted aquaintences. Just cross the street, or if the sidewalk is broad enough, just walk around them. Better, get them some help. They are completely lost in their own world, and are not able to follow, much less chase or assault someone. They are, in fact, very vulnerable, the weakest people out there.

You should worry more about the drug dealers, who are not making rational decisions (thus their jobs), and may have guns (gun crime being the only kind that is increasing). And even they will be perfectly friendly if you don't have business with them.
> We never use merge except fast forward merges.

Hmm. I've never really liked this pattern. We never use fast-forward merges for anything other than bringing a release branch forward to track the "current release" state[1] (the old HEAD gets renamed to a stable branch name with the version number in its name).

Benefits as far as I'm concerned:

- the merge commit can record information about the topic as a whole (e.g., the MR number, `Acked-by` and related reviews, etc.)
- it records the merge as a distinct event
- reverting a topic is just a single revert command of the merge itself (unless there's some magic to divine what sequence of commits is a "topic" in linear history these days?)
- backporting branches is just "branch off of the old release, merge into all relevant branches" instead of individual rebases and tandem merge requests

[1] This is possible because we keep "the primary branch can reach all branches" as a property as well. We do this with `-s ours` "syncup" merges whenever a non-primary branch is merged into. This is, of course, all done at once by merging a topic into all target branches, performing syncup merges and pushing with `--atomic` to avoid race conditions.
Tesla has long wait list and they are growing very fast.

The only reason they didn't grow even faster this quarter was because of a suprise COVID shutdown in China.

They have opened 2 new factories in Q1 that will ramp this year.

They have also raised prices and those price races will only be reflected in future quarters because of long lead times.

> And data already suggests this is on the decline. So this needs to be taken in context.

You can't go from making a general statement about demand for auto producers and then just apply it to Tesla. Once you think about the Tesla specific context its the opposite of decline.
I have to stop you right there, I have received spam in the mail and I am somebody and I did like receiving some of it. The California magazines...good paper, sure they're marketed to women, but get this no rapey cookie "consent" contract, like those are just disgusting I hate getting asked for consent it means I'm about to get fucked. Every single time you get asked for consent it's because you're about to get fucked. That's fine for a once-in-a-lifetime thing like a marriage contract, OK then I understand giving consent to getting fucked, by my future wife, perfectly understandable and good that there's a contract. But for clicking on a link in a forum? So that's why I liked those magazines, yeah they were trying to distort your sense of a good price by showing prices inflated by two orders of magnitude but at least they didn't target accurately. That's good, I don't want accurate targeting on advertisement aimed at me any more than I want accurate targeting on pistols aimed at me.
> Henri Poincaré famously described them as "monsters" and called Weierstrass' work "an outrage against common sense", while Charles Hermite wrote that they were a "lamentable scourge".

I wonder if there is a really long compound German word for "an achievement whose greatness is best measured by the degree to which it disgusts experts in the field."
Some people have very basic setups and use everything out of the box and that's fine. I could have an editor with git checked out and publish code in probably 20 minutes.

But there's so much extra stuff to have everything functioning like keymap, licensing, vpn, restoring file backups, password manager, slack, web browser with security / personalisation settings, aliases, zshrc, ssh keys, every other program that I need to function as a dev (zoom etc). At a speedrun my local machine would take more than 2 hours to setup. That would be after I sourced a replacement, installed whatever os.

As for my dev missing the day, that wouldn't be a happening thing. If he wants to take time off he's entitled to but turning up for work means turning up ready to go. I handed him my spare linux laptop and told him to fix his one in his own time. No B players on my team.

I think the problem is that you asked the wrong group. Amateur Radio operators have a huge range of interests, but Earthquake monitoring and SIDs are very much in the province of Shortwave Listeners, eg the very active VLF group at VLF@groups.io

There is some overlap, but the prime focus is on different frequency bands and different areas of propagation research.

And FWIW, there is a large and active interest in VLF propagation research coming from the various universities, particularly centered on Arctic/Antarctic monitoring stations.

PVC and PTFE are rarely found in trash, certainly not in the volumes of the rest of the types.

With a properly made incinerator (which isn't hard to do) burning plastic is cleaner than burning oil or coal. A bit of filtration will catch the halogens in case they slip in.

Vendor lock in is an attribute, or effect, which is not the same as “another term”. You can’t start an argument about semantics only to bend this language so drastically.

Don't be silly. A bottle of malbec or Cabernet sauvignon is only a good start. Half litre of Black Label after a good dinner, that's another thing.
This is pretty much it. I'm a parent now, but I recall my parents telling me to walk to get to appointments and activities when I was in school back in the 90s and 00s. I never did, because it was 5+ miles through car centric roads.

In the city, I see kids walking places on their own. Most places they would go are within a quarter to half mile, all of the schools that they could go to from age 3-18 are within a third of a mile.
Unchecked exceptions work fine. Basic stuff like stream.map(f) is unusable when f throws any checked exception, so the Java world largely stopped declaring them. I consider it a miss in Java’s generics when lambdas and method refs were added.

Well said. You need Tableau/PBI to tell the story of data, and distribute it to stakeholders. They aren't going to read a 10 page Word document of your findings... Maybe in 1999 they did. Looked at another way, you'd never publish a mathematical or statistical based thesis and not include any graphs or visuals. BI is just one of the steps after the analytics that is a necessary evil. It's not even a hard tool to use anyhow.
No taxpayer subsidized my education.
