Is there a Wikipedia list of obscure 'race'-isms? I find reading about other cultures or other time period's biases to be informative and wonder what the common elements might be.

Off the top of my head, issues I can think of where an outsider may be oblivious between the "sides" are:

Indian caste

Japanese Barukumin caste

Protestant/Catholic in Europe

Jewish people in Europe/US/USSR

English Class System, or Southern/Northern

Jim Crow, or North/South or Midwest Vs coastal, WASPs, or Nativism.

Ainu in Hokkaido.

Ukraine vs Russian is topical at the moment.
I draw your attention to this part of my comment:

> Google's free rein in its early years surely had a lot to do with the fact that Page and Brin were successfully marketed as nice guys who could be trusted to be responsible stewards of Google. However stupid the rest of the world may have been to ever take this on faith, it is still on Page and Brin to keep their end of the bargain now.

Being the proprietors of Google isn't something that Page and Brin could hypothetically do if they wanted to, it's the job that they already have now. And again, unlike Larry Ellison spending all his money on cancer research or whatever, it's not something that others want to push them into. Being the nice guys who will run Google in a responsible, positive-sum manner is a role that they to a large extent made up themselves and rather successfully auditioned for, and they were happy to enjoy the rewards, extremely valuable rewards, of reduced public and government scrutiny that came with it in Google's earlier years. (It's also more their time and their initiative than their money which is being demanded, but that's relatively incidental.)

It's also not as if they've simply gone "played you, so long suckers" and disappeared into partying or empire-building or personal weirdness with no concern for what the rest of the world thinks about them. It's fairly clear that they still want to enjoy public admiration and respect for some of the things they've been doing. Perhaps because it's good PR for Alphabet, or because it's something that they care about on a personal level: it doesn't matter which. Of course they should be asked about their already existing, more important commitments before they're rewarded with this. Naturally your missing alimony payments or the orphanage you used to support are not off-topic when you're being photographed unveiling the plaque with your name on it at the new lion enclosure at the city zoo.
I think the shift from big companies deciding the winners to democratized content creators Isa shift in the right direction.

However, has anyone tried to quantify just how difficult it is to get those 100? Even for unpaid followers/listeners I've never managed to get more than a handful.
In my research field (CS), large universities have a big advantage. They have more resources (valuable for systems fields) and more students. Even if Harvard may have stronger undergrad students overall than random-U, their candidate pool of undergrads->potential PhD students tends to be much smaller. This isn't absolutely a rule (some smaller schools do very well in specific areas) but it's definitely a force I've noticed.

python actually buffers its writes with print only flushing to stdout occasionally, you may want to try:

python3 -c 'while (1): print (1, end="", flush=True)' | pv > /dev/null

which I find goes much slower (550Kib/s)

So true! Also, there are no decent UI frameworks for Lisp, so it's impossible to build a full stack app that looks good in a modern browser without adding a TS or JS web component layer. And... There's no modern IDE for Lisp.

Thank you. Returning to your prior comment:

> One wonders if the same thing happens after a writer creates the characters and starts having them interact in the story.

I've definitely heard writers say characters become almost independent persons with their own perceptions, ideas, decisions, etc., and interact with each other and the story.
My god, the last thing I'd want is for someone to auto-DM me after I follow them with "Thanks for following, how can I help you?"

In fact, I'm almost sure that would make me unfollow immediately.

That said, is this meant for people or for brands?
> everyone who pointed issues out upfront was marginalized, factchecked™, downvoted and/or vilified

This feels overdramatic. Especially if you're just complaining about social media, where everyone is arguing about everything all the time.

They acknowledged the mistake, therefore everyone who pointed out issues wasn't dismissed.

> Soundararajan appealed directly to Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who comes from an upper-caste family in India, to allow her presentation to go forward. But the talk was canceled, leading some employees to conclude that Google was willfully ignoring caste bias.

> Pichai, the CEO, “is Indian and he is Brahmin and he grew up in Tamil Nadu. There is no way you grow up in Tamil Nadu and not know about caste because of how caste politics shaped the conversation,” Soundararajan told The Post. “If he can make passionate statements about Google’s [diversity equity and inclusion] commitments in the wake of George Floyd, he absolutely should be making those same commitments to the context he comes from where he is someone of privilege.”

Sounds like Mr. Pichai has some explaining to do...

A mechanical keyboard if he doesn't have one. Not everyone likes them and there are lots of different switches that fans argue about which is best about. If he hasn't tried one it is a great gift.

Helium is a non-renewable [1] resource. Once it's gone, it's gone forever, and we are running out.

I totally get it and support your take of not signing up for a product that you can't see public pricing for. That said, no one ever said we don't have pricing. It's just not publicly listed at present because we're very early in our journey, are learning a ton about helping teams on-board, and also focusing on helping communities that are currently not well served by other pricing models.

We meant the predictable bit to be more like a promise on our part. We'll talk to you, we'll give you clear pricing once we get a good picture of what you're looking for and how we can help you, and we'll stick with it so you're not thinking about the monthly price of our service on top of another 8-12 on average that you need to add for each new team member.

All that said, I'm going to review that on the site today and find ways to clarify what we mean so that we're clearer.
Take an economics course.
Wave did their marketing push when it was invite-only. The invites were going for $50-$100 on eBay. A lot of people like me weren't rich or well-connected enough to try it if they wanted.

It went on like that for ten months, then with very little fanfare they opened it to everyone. I didn't find out they finally made it generally available until three months later when they said they were shutting it down due to lack of interest.

I'd say there wasn't a lack of interest, there was a bumbling misalignment of its hype cycle and its availability.
This bothers me too. I get tons of social media ads for how to make money from music, one of them is Savvy Musician - a stay-at-home Mom with 5 kids who makes Celtic Metal. Her advice centers on finding your micro-niche, which to me feels like just writing the same song over and over, and then digging in it looks like most of her income is from selling merch, so the music ends up being just ads for t-shirts and mugs.

> But, if few Indian managers discriminate against Dalits, how are their non-Indian peers and managers supposed to correct that discrimination if they don't even understand what are castes?

Shouldn't the managers and decision makers be aware of the local customs, cultural issues and employment laws in the region they manage? You really think it's appropriate for some white American manager to lecture his Indian subordinates after spending a few hours in training?
> When you get a new follower, we send the welcome message. So you can focus on nurturing conversations and making leads.

Seems like a tool to turn a Twitter account into a marketing chatbot that abuses follows as a trigger to start a conversation.

Automatically inserting an uninvited chatbot into someone’s DMs isn’t a great way to foster a sense of authenticity. This is the kind of tool used by marketers who think every channel must be quickly exploited to either convert the person or make them so annoyed they disengage. Not great for long-term engagement.

Side note: I’m always suspicious when PR pieces like this rocket up the front page. I wouldn’t expect a Twitter follow auto-DM chatbot targeted at social media marketers to organically collect this many upvotes from the generally anti-marketing, anti-social-media, anti-chatbot HN audience.
I’ve seen the setting be symmetrical in more apps, which is nice. The last one I noticed had this feature is Microsoft Teams.
Lumping in hindu castes, Christian denominations, and Jewish people in what I assume is the beginning-mid 20th century, makes no sense. Yes, it all falls under xenophobia, but the impact are wildly different.
A lot of folks did this in the early days of twitter and I'd unfollow every time because of how presumptuous and annoying it was. Youve immediately started the conversation on a robotic and overbearing foot when you do this.
Trucks cannot move over hard terrain for instance and communication works way better with direct line of sight.

But yes, they are not easy to hide, are vulnerable and cannot be not deployed on the frontlines because of this, but rather in the back.

Personally I love being gifted experiences. One year I got a tandem skydiving experience for my significant other and I, it was awesome. Another year I purchased my SO and I an intro to pottering throwing class that was fun too. Perhaps you could try something like an aerial tour of the area that they live in? Seeing where you live from the sky is really fun.
I often use my custom timer decorator to time execution of functions/methods. This is not the only way I can do that, but I think it's a very convenient option.
Returns are more correlated with working population growth then total population. The US experienced a generational dividend in the 70’s with a higher percentage of the population going to work as smaller families became the norm and women entered the workforce in large numbers.

I think the best way to put it is that graphics should not distract from enjoyment.

It is possible to create a visually appealing graphics with limited resolution and colour depth, just as it is possible to create glitchy and ugly graphics with the latest technology. Of course, the opposite is also true. Either way, you need people who know what they are doing in order to achieve the desired affect.
Sounds almost like on-demand SaaS compute from the cloud world...but wrt logistics and transportation
It's definitely worth considering that these tools can have a counter productive effect though. It can be really off-putting to a lot of people to get a near instant DM right after following someone which seems pretty obviously automated. That could have been a real customer who now unfollowed or muted you when a non automated human interaction approach may have had a higher chance of conversion to a sale. So the decision to automate isn't always so clearly beneficial.
I can easily imagine using old IRC style auto messaging/replying based on '/notice' '/onjoin' ...etc twitter activity.

> Custom servers are often not even supported anymore, as matchmaking is used to funnel players into full games and keep them playing even if their friends log off for the night.

This is one of the primary reasons I still mainly play older games. I like being able to host servers with exactly the modes I like, or find servers that have them. Some of the best experiences I've had in online games has been on servers I've hosted for Halo (Trail AND Custom Edition). Nothing matches the feeling of logging on to your own or favorite server and playing with a mix of regulars and randoms, without servers it's impossible to build communities in the same way.
I'd have to read the Postgres docs to be sure. Postgres has really good docs.

> Pathfinder 3 will initially be powered by batteries, Weston said. But the goal is to have the helium-filled airship powered by hydrogen fuel cells, he said.

This is worth expanding on. There is a worldwide shortage of helium [1]. It's being aggravated by ongoing natural gas supply disruptions:

> The helium shutdown in Arzew is a result of high natural gas demand in Europe, due in large part to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Helium is found alongside natural gas in conventional wells. Algeria normally compresses natural gas into liquid form at Arzew for global transport by ship. During that process, it’s economical to extract helium because it liquefies at much higher pressures and lower temperatures than natural gas, explains industrial gas consultant Jon Raquet.

> But now, much of Algeria’s natural gas is being sent to Spain via pipeline, making separation impractical. The industrial and rare-gas advisory firm Edelgas Group estimates that liquefied natural gas production in key regions is down 30% from January, leading to a 10% drop in global helium supply.

And it's not like we're talking about just a little helium, either:

> ... Pathfinder 3, at 600 feet long and 100 feet in diameter, is designed to carry about 20 tons and be able to traverse as many as 10,000 miles using electric-only, zero-emission propulsion.

Running some back-of-the-envelope math, we can think of this as a cylinder roughly 400 feet long (to take account for tapering on either end) and 100 feet in diameter. That's 3.14 x 50^2 x 400 = 3.1 million cubic feet of He just to fill. It doesn't even account for ongoing resupply, testing, etc.

The US is the largest producer of helium at 77 million cubic meters [2]. With a conversion factor of 35:1, that puts the volume of the airship at ~ 886,000 cubic meters. So we're not talking about consuming all of the US production of helium, but it's not insignificant, either.

> The United States is the largest helium producer worldwide. In 2021, the production of helium in the U.S. stood at approximately 77 million cubic meters,

This type of post does not belong on HN, not because of the subject or content but the source. It's a blog post presented as written by an 3rd-party political commentator, then posted on the susbtack of the subject person. I wouldn't even categorize the content here as very inflammatory, but we should all reject hot-button opinion that tries to masquerade as journalism out of principle.

From the homepage:

Let's definitely discuss this topic; let's start the discourse from a higher baseline.
I think a huge thing that is missed in the article is how players have influenced gaming. I like to think players brought cross-play to major games, maybe it was also studios but they wouldn't have pushed for it without players requesting it.

For multiplayer games on the internet that is a huge thing that has shifted in 25 years. Its not every game or every platform but major online games allow cross-play whereas before you were basically locked into playing with only people on the same platform.

Maybe there will be other things players want and studios will listen and implement in the next decade-ish?

I noticed the text of your comment ins grey, which means someone downvoted you. I disagree on first take of your comment, because QA to me doesn't represent a lower-tier of anything. It's a tech job. Women being in tech is good. Indian people being in tech is good. Will you share a bit more about your thinking? Why do you see this as being discrimination?

Sidenote: I once glanced around a team I was working on a few years ago and found most of the product/program managers were gay or lesbian. Didn't strike me as discrimination, since there are, of course, gay and lesbian hardware engineers, gay and lesbian software engineers... it just happened that we all found each other on a particular team.

So that's why I think that's what's going on here, but I'm eager to hear your thoughts, as they differ from mine.
> the local customs, cultural issues and employment laws in the region they manage

This article concerns caste discrimination in the United States.
I got some for you:
- principles, and going as far as extending freedom even if you personally already benefit from it
- civil desobedience is a thing, even though some stances are questionable.

And, I thought the debate for more needs of privacy, and given the threats have been proven to even come from governments (snowden/NSA, pegasus), was settled, visibly it isn't if even on HN such argument is given in the context of such a clear subject. The overstepping body there is the government, not the busines imo.
