Possibly unpopular take: it does. Cars should not be required for everyone, especially those living in a city. It's never going to be sustainable, and it wastes resources, and many people don't like driving, especially in heavy traffic.

Moreover, it is fundamentally unsustainable financially. Cars should continue to exist the same way phones and computers should, but not everyone should _have to_ own or use them _all_ the time.

OP here, I didn't keep an accurate log, but yea it's all ghosting. I'd estimate it's about 85% "never contacted" ghosting, about 5% ghosting after an initial call w/ company recruiter, and 10% ghosting after doing at least one phone screen. I don't know whether these companies are just incredibly disorganized and forget people, whether the jobs don't really exist in the first place, or if it's just their cowardly way to say "no" to a candidate without actually saying "no".

It is my belief that, like most tech companies, they have pretty much a huge raging river of good candidates to choose from, so they have to use a very coarse filter (ignoring almost everyone), in order to deal with a manageable number of them.

> Society just doesn't have the resources to provide a private tutor to each student, but rich parents can. How do you close the equality of opportunity gap there?

i dont think that's what equality of opportunity means though.

The private tutor is giving the child an opportunity to learn. But a child that doesn't have a tutor will still receive an education from a publicly funded school. So both child will have an education. The assumption that having a private tutor automatically gives that child a better education is not really established in evidence imho.

> For someone interested in sailing, opportunities are quite limited unless your parents have a sailboat

so if schools and tertiary institutions have a sailing club, then the student could join that, rather than having to have the capital to own a sailing boat. Of course, today we don't truly have equality of opportunity, so some people don't get to sail, but i think as time progresses, it would get better.

> Any time you would like to stop doing something but are unable to

That's the thing. People call it addiction even when nobody ever said anything (see my comment) about that part. You are the one who added the bit about not being able to stop.

So, is it really fair to then project one's own fears or experiences with addiction, or beliefs about addiction, onto such a situation? That's better left to clinical territory, not casual relational discourse.
> Are there companies out there

There are absolutely lots of companies that have diversity and inclusion programs, and spend lots of money on these issues.

If your metric of success is "What are the successful companies doing" then you have to admit that basically every major corperate environment these days, has diversity programs, so by your own definition, they are important.
That’s the difference since last week. The actual value is above the label in bold — the difference is in a much smaller red font below.
Just because someone ends up underperforming the market doesn't mean they didn't have any insights.

It might just mean that after doing something right, they did something wrong that more than cancelled it out. This is why it's hard to learn from experience.

For instance, right now, a lot of people may not understand the implications of inflation and sharply rising interest rates. Because people who were adults in the 70s are old and irrelevant, or deceased.
> The cost of living in the bay area is basically the highest in the world. So after rent, taxes, and food, $250k there is more like $100k almost anywhere else in the country.

I have my doubts that cost of living explains the high pay in the Bay Area.

1. Median one bedroom apartment in the Bay Area is about $1.2-1.5k/month more than Seattle, Chicago, Nashville, Orlando, Sacramento, Austin, Fresno for example. That justifies $14-18k/year of pay difference between the Bay Area and those other places.

Also, the median household income in San Francisco is $119k. That's household income, not individual income. That suggests that an individual making $100k should be able to do fine in San Francisco.

2. The average monthly spending on food in San Francisco is about $150/month more than the US average. So that's another $1800 of pay difference you'd need for the Bay Area. Although maybe with the long hours at many tech companies people don't have time to go home and cook, so let's assume that a Bay Area worker needs to eat out all the time. According to budgetyourtrip.com tourists average $32/day to eat in San Francisco, so tech workers should be able to do fine on that. That's a little under $12k/year, so let's be generous and say Bay Area salaries need a $12k boost for that.

3. The marginal state income tax rate in California is under 12% for most tech workers. So maybe that means a company might have to pay another $12k or so compared to what they'd have to pay someone in a state with no income tax.

So far all together that is, with the generous estimate for food, $42k. That's a lot less than how much Bay Area pay is above so many other US cities and thus I suspect something more than just rent, taxes, and food is going on.

“Mindfulness” has a few components:

- self-awareness, ie aware of your thoughts and feelings

- being present in the moment

- emotional regulation

I always use security guards as my example: you need to see what is actually there, not what you expect to be; you need to be aware of your own response, eg not panic or become angry; and you need to both be able to calm yourself and overcome your default not to act, as appropriate.

> What does Stoet and Geary’s propensity ratio measure? Worldwide, women earn more tertiary degrees than men. In Algeria, 62.7% of tertiary graduates, and 53.55% of STEM graduates, are women. Yet Stoet and Geary reported a value of 40.7 for Algeria.

Propensity is when you normalize the value to the base rate of graduates for men and women. 53.55 / 62.7 is the women in STEM divided by women getting degrees, 46.45 / 37.3 is the men in STEM divided by men getting degrees. This gives you the rate of stem degrees normalized by how many of each gender gets tertiary degrees.

53.55 / 62.7 /(53.55 / 62.7 + 46.45 / 37.3) = 40.7%

And conversely same equation for men:

46.45 / 37.3 /(53.55 / 62.7 + 46.45 / 37.3) = 59.3%

So basically they wrote that paper not knowing anything. But I can see why a group of gender studies professors would write that piece anyway for political reasons, as this paradox is very uncomfortable for them.
I am still trying to wrap my head around the problem. Here's my attempt at your implementation in Raku:

sub solutions-filter(@sols, &agg, Bool:D :$flip = False) {
my @aggregates = @sols.map({ agg($_) });

my %d;
%d{$_} += %d{$_} ?? %d{$_} !! 1 for @aggregates;

return @sols.grep({ %d{ agg($_) } == 1 }) if $flip;
return @sols.grep({ %d{ agg($_) } != 1 });
}

my @candidates = ((1..99) X (1..99)).grep({ $_[0] ≤ $_[1] });
my @ns = @candidates;

for 1..7 {
@ns = solutions-filter @ns, { $_[0] * $_[1] };
@ns = solutions-filter @ns, { $_[0] + $_[1] };
}

say solutions-filter(@ns, { $_[0] * $_[1] }, :flip);

Detecting impersonation on Twitter is hard for users, but trivial for Twitter to do at Name/photo change time. They just don't care.

Name changes shouldn't even be atomic, at least for Blue Checks. Twitter UI should show "recently changed name" for a week. (And yes, I've thought about this is not unfair deadnaming. Celebrities shouldn't get to hide their name changes.)

I don't think this is true. They specifically added the line "As part of our compliance efforts, Google Play is blocking the downloading of paid apps and updates to paid apps in Russia starting May 5, 2022." to their announcement.

I believe Google forgot to update their FAQ. Halfway through April, before the notice was added, the FAQ was exactly the same [1]. Now, the notice has been extended to say you can't download paid apps [2].

Sorry, I can't actually find a reasonable way to view that instagram post. Odd, I thought they used to be viewable without an account.

Assuming it's some stereotype about new age self-defined gurus, no, these were perfectly regular and generally friendly people. The situation was extremely odd, which is why I remember it.

Someone else suggested it might be because the state of mind in that situation was wrong for the task at hand. I think it's probably correct, in another context they would have taken immediate action to help but were in an unfamiliar role.
> there is no need for someone to go 80mph in a city and hit and kill someone else.

Hyperbole is not awesome. I don't think anyone was advocating to go 80MPH in a city and to hit and kill someone else.

I don't believe there's some bright line where going 25.001MPH is completely unsafe and reckless and 24.999MPH is completely OK. In the end, the limit is an arbitrary value providing a tradeoff between economics and safety, and people obey that particular exact value to avoid getting fined.

There is a massive difference between Slack and in-person. In-person there is often a casualness that doesn't exist over Slack. It's hard to have a serendipitous conversation over Slack vs in-person. This is what I meant by "I think there is more informal mentoring [in an office]".

> I constantly observe people excitedly blabbing in person, seemingly reaching all sorts of epiphanies, but at the end of the day, the conversation lacked specificity and no one really learned anything. It's a perfect medium for feeling like you learned something without actually doing so

Generally I would much prefer feeling like I've intuited something rather than coming away with specific knowledge because specific knowledge is usually easy to find elsewhere.

I believe it is inherent to a remote environment. I also believe it can be overcome, but it's not the path of least resistance.
Colombian here:

There is a lot of beautiful places that weren't accesible a few years ago and you can go and visit nowadays, war indirectly has protected those places but ironically there are people deforesting those places now, the government is also trying to access mining and oil resources which can put these places in danger. I hope the international community can start looking how we can preserve those forests and all the species that they have.

The entire site is weirdly mobile (or perhaps just mobile Safari) unfriendly.

The home page also has some issues with elements clipping/overlaying and not registering clicks.

I say weirdly unfriendly because the graphic design is very $CURRENT_YEAR, which is usually designed mobile-first (since that’s where most of the traffic is these days). But the author clearly spends more time on the desktop (the article _is_ about tmux) and didnt check how it performs on mobile.

If it is just a safari issue I’m sympathetic. Testing for safari is a nightmare if you don’t have Apple hardware available.
Yes, nothing about Chiba has fundamentally changed since the 1980s.

I’m puzzled: The authors say it’s impossible to accurately guess who the consumer is, and that the idea that you can show them the ‘right’ ad and that this quasi magical targeting will make broad-reach, low-impact ads (also called banner ads) work is BS; and people here on HN go on arguing about Spotify’s recommendation engine and if it’s any good or not.

Please read the article again.
Fourth, I've never found a recommendation engine I like. Maybe I have weird taste in music, but Spotify only ever recommended one song that I ended up loving (oddly, the very first one it ever did).
There's a marked difference between a dip and a cliff.

A dip, by definition, implies a continuation through a period of depressed price/earnings/some-metric. Buying at the bottom of a dip is logical.

A cliff implies a discontinuity. Almost nothing survives a fall of a cliff. Buying at the bottom of a cliff is therefore illogical.

The key is identifying when something is heading for a dip or a cliff.
> The thing I never understood about this argument is that it seems to imply that working from the office makes one immune to the same outsourcing.

They key is the lack of friction. If all the employees are in the office, your one remote outsourced person is the outlier and teams will get annoyed having to deal with that person. If everyone is already remote, then there's no pushback at all from having another remote person -- and if they're already remote, why not hire from somewhere cheaper?
I’m happy to take criticism of the tune of “head out anywhere”. Having said that if the best example of his philanthropy you could find is him donating all the money he made from Ukraine back to Ukraine, I hope you see the irony of it. He probably hoped to (and probably did) make more money by proclaiming this in public than actually sending.

Importantly, I didn’t use the word philanthropy because it’s clearly not the only or even a good way of helping people. It doesn’t even have to be strangers heck. The only time he and his guests discuss “not them” is when they could learn or extract something from said others.

I wish the story had given a more precise definition of "mindfulness" because they seem to be talking about a very specific type of meditation and there are many more kinds of mindfulness than that. In fact, I'd say "mindfulness" is the wrong word for an activity that consists largely of emptying the mind. It's great for relieving stress, improving sleep, instilling patience, etc. but if it's used as one's only alternative to maximum multitasking then that seems far less than ideal. There's a lot to be said for learning how to focus the conscious intentional mind on a single thing or idea as well, but nobody seems to teach that.
We have almost anything you could look for, but for some reason, we don't have a good selection of computer parts and accessories. Its like all of the electronics shops decided not to use Shopify or something :)

You can find a rough breakdown of our product counts by category in our "Why Shopify is the best (only?) alternative to Amazon" post: https://blog.vendazzo.com/why-shopify-is-the-best-alternativ...

Of the 140k shops we currently have, the vast majority are clothing (shoes, shirts, jewelry, etc), home & garden (furniture, kitchen, cups, glasses, etc), and vehicle parts. The other categories still have a significant number of products in them, but we're light on the computer accessories, and much of what you find will be either older generation or enterprise. Its possible that the 140k shops that we selected just happen to not be electronics/computer shops, but until we're able to index the remaining 1.2M+ shops (that we're aware of) we won't know for sure.

One other thing to point out is that the filters (after you search), can be very helpful We're still not at a point where we can build out semantic search, so using the filters to select a category, colour, etc, can drastically improve the relevance of your results. Hope that helps!

BTW, I have made changes to remove the "Route Protection Package" from our index, and it should start disappearing over the next week or so. Thanks for pointing that out!
