As I understand it people were complaining about this in the 90s in SF, so yes you were probably living in a bubble.
> You treat everyone equally. Speak up against anyone who doesn't.

So... how do you square that with preventing a caste bias activist from speaking at Google? What Soundararajan does is quite literally speaking up against people who don't treat others equally.

They're living off the stimulus checks and their crypto investments. At least they were before the checks stopped and the market tanked.
I don't think CEOs of public companies are allowed to say things that they don't mean, seems like the SEC would be up their butt about that that. His suggestions are perfectly legal if executed in a legal way, which they have started to do with Ford Blue split.
I'd be a lot happier if he was calling for the revocation of NAFTA but that would mean a lot of US manufacturers that have outsourced to Mexico would be faced with the quandry of whether or not to move production back to the USA or to accept high cross-border transit fees imposed by Mexico (which is probably what a Mexican exit from NAFTA would entail).

Then there's the sheer volume in trade of Mexico's agriculture and fossil fuel sectors across the border, most of which takes place under some provision of NAFTA or other. I recall hearing claims that crude oil is shipped to Mexico at present (under the 2015 revocation of the 1970s-era ban on crude oil exports from the USA, which may be playing a partial role in current high gas prices). However, I've also hear refined products are shipped back to the USA from Mexico, not sure about that.

Probably just political posturing.
There's 12 random numbers, and I assume banks reject some numbers based on obviousness (e.g. all 0, all 1s, 1234, all 3 groups are identical etc.) so I'd assume there's actually less probability space than what we'd expect.

Even if it's still a pretty huge space.

Apparently GlaDOS was the president of NTT at the time. She really wanted a deadly neurotoxin emitter on every handset, but it was deemed too costly.
> It's so rare, and lovely, when you run into an engineer who can not only figure out how to do the task they're being assigned, but run through the next couple of steps in the future taking the team strengths, company strategy, and product shortcomings into account.

Probably because engineers like that often won't want to work in environments where they're "assigned" "tasks". If you want people who take initiative and lead, you need to give them the space to do that! Otherwise, the rare successes you're seeing are from people who not only have the strengths you outlined but also have the patience, skills and mental energy to fight through a culture and process that structurally pushes them to be low-ownership task-takers.
I like the thick stdlib in go, but it feels a lot slower even than java. The thin stdlib and giant dependency trees is my primary complaint with rust. I like most of the syntax, but async is not my threading style, I mostly use fine grained threads like rayon provides. I'm currently more excited about julia though. Same dependency hell, but super fast and flexible, and the code looks good.
Googled Mexico and Turkey and not surprisingly there has recently been a lot of developments between those countries. They are even 2 letters in MIKTA where 3 others are Indonesia, South Korea and Australia - an interesting organization that i've never noticed before. The Turkey has in the last less than a decade practically become a regional superpower playing pretty independent wrt. global superpowers. Looks like Mexico is starting on that way too as it seems to have sufficient potential for that. In particular similar to Turkey informally building an alliance of and attracting smaller powers in the region, Mexico has the ability to do that for smaller powers in the Americas which may perceive themselves (whether reasonably so or mistakenly - isn't that important) as being bullied around by superpowers like US.
> I'm also not sure that religious identity is to be viewed as 'racial identity' unless you want to revive the definition found in the German Race Laws of the 1930s.

Personally, I'd suggest using the definitions that people use for themselves. And if you do that, you'll find that there are both religious and ethnic components.

I think the ISP didn't ask for an address. Back then I doubt credit card companies were doing address verification, at least for lower-value purchases. (The infrastructure probably didn't exist.)
There is extremely low risk of colliding with a real number, and people didn't feel guilty about using services that had nearly zero marginal cost. Phreaking or fake-cc-number fraud was considered pretty victimless, and if there was a victim it was a baby bell that had just been busted up for being a massive monopoly.
I was looking at the photos and was thinking how it really kinda is it’s own type of photography art. They are so simple but pleasing to look at.
Yes, deadlock-free lock systems are an ordinary part of OLTP database engines. They don't prevent deadlocks per se so much as detect them and dynamically resolve them.

The mechanism is costly but elegant. If a lock you are trying to acquire is owned by another thread, you inspect the locks you own to determine if that thread is waiting on one of your locks. When a deadlock is detected, there are several strategies to automatically resolve it e.g. rolling back one of the threads to a point where forward progress can be safely serialized.

No one wants to use these mechanics for ordinary code, due to their cost. For the fashionable thread-per-core software architectures, deadlocks aren't something you commonly have to worry about.

I elaborated on this on another reply.

It's something that happened in the late 90s, some time after I was in Japan myself. I trust the source, his Japanese wife corroborated it somewhat embarrassed.
Very true. The old-fashioned telephone handset was a masterpiece of human engineering. I bet with state-of-the-art mic and speakers, it would still be way better than a smartphone for actual phone calls.

Of course, I have to admit that my Bluetooth headset is pretty good, and a first-class gaming headset would be even better.
You are on "Hacker"News...
Only members of the KKK wear a hood, and all members of the KKK tautologically support racism.

Presumably it is possible to be Brahmin, without supporting caste discrimination.

A better analogy would be: Do you feel it should be illegal to mention have a degree from Yale or Harvard? They're both markers of status, and people absolutely discriminate based on that, but I don't think "I have a degree from Harvard" automatically makes you complicit in that.
On social media, the common story is bedroom producer because it is so easy for a major entity to promote anyone they want to stardom with a solid budget behind them.

Many of the most popular influencers on social media are corporately backed with songwriters and million dollar production units behind the bedroom cameras. You can usually only tell this when you search BMI and see how many songwriters and engineers names are listed on hit songs.

The hit making "bedroom producer" with 50k+ followers is now mostly smoke and mirrors...
There is also another notable observation.

Whataboutism and victim blaming do go hand in hand with you.

Again you are blaming Ukraine that it invited, or even conned Russia to attack.

If Russia had any interest to follow Minsk agreements, it would have done so. Instead it did the opposite. It sent more heavy weapons and did not disarm and disband terrorist groups it had established in Donbas.
It's possible he works with bad engineers. What he said is true of working with certain types of bad engineers, just like what you say is true of bad PMs. It is what it is. Working with people who aren't competent sucks in any domain, it's not exclusive to tech, engineering, product, design, whatever. It's everywhere.
I’m not a felon but get so upset at our current system that tries to pretend to care about people with records but in actuality leaves them to rot.

I’m a business owner and my first employee and current operations manager is a felon. I knew this prior as I worked with him before, before starting my own business. He ended up in that position and doing 3 years of prison because America for a lot of people sucks. It sucked for him and he was in a position where it was either do felonious things or be homeless. So he made an obvious choice.

He’s struggled with work since then, because as soon as they see felon they tend to disregard him. It sucks. I know his case isn’t standard, but it also isn’t rare. Society treats these people like lepers and I hope the tides change on this, or we get actual criminal reform. Because what we’ve got right now OP’s business should have went under because it wasn’t needed anymore. But that’s not the case.
A safepoint in the JVM is a state where all the objects on the heap are consistent and the GC roots are known. These safe points are important for the GC to able to safely work.

A safepoint poll points are points in a threads execution where it's able to go into a safepoint and transfer control to the JVM so it polls to see if it should.

You're not off base for now. You are for then. Those were different times.
No. Markets mean that you must indeed do that.
That is most certainly also an option, but likely a bit wasteful and much more time consuming if it’s a small issue.
>I owned 6 Teslas over the last several years.

??????? Why on earth would you need this many Teslas? Maybe if you are buying so many teslas then it makes sense why you don't need them serviced - you barely give them enough time to wear themselves out!
I am not a fan of Tesla at all, so im not making exuses for them when i say this: I wouldn't be surprised if every single company does this during a union push.
And what will you do when Toyota/Honda do the same thing as Ford/Tesla? Looking at things now, it looks like it's how things are going
Some of big tech seems to not have a hot job market and that they're desperate. The number of emails I get from Amazon and Facebook is crazy. And the fact that they're emailing me tells me that that they are indeed desperate.
If you can't get a fix into the backlog either the details of the bug aren't explained well enough or the fix isn't as important as you might think.

I can relate to my first job out of college. I had my first triage session and I was shocked by how many bugs we wouldn't fix. I wanted to fix them all - in fact I stood up and said, "how can we not fix these, these are real bugs!" I eventually learned that the job of SW isn't engineering purity. It is to apply available resources to maximize impact for the customer (and if this is at a for-profit company, to maximize profit). I think sometimes developers can get stuck on just writing the best code possible, and forget the actual reason there is someone giving them a paycheck.
> Maybe going direct is the secret plan, but I don’t see how they get there.

Yeah, the dealership and the state level dealership associations aren't going to go out of business without some good fight. Even though I personally don't like the markup to be paid at the dealerships, but they exist for some good reasons: educate the consumers, financing, DMV paperwork and most importantly service your vehicles. EVs need much less service visits but when they do - it's likely harder for DIYers to tinkle with High Voltage battery systems and/or the infotainment firmware diagnostics and updates.
> Not one of them had any QC issues.

Same in my experience, though it's not as extensive as yours.

It's surprising how often you see negative anecdotes about quality control amplified as representative of a larger trend. It often seems there is an agenda compelling many to work so hard circulating negative opinions.
Correct - Burning Man was already lame by 1999 among the contributing counter-culture!
They talk about trying for a "soft landing", so although there is a downturn in stocks and it will likely go down a little more, the path of less resistance would probably be to try to get inflation and stocks to average at around stopping right now, with a few parabolic moves.

This would consolidate the wealth transfer in favor of asset holders, but would at least not make it worse, and non-asset holders generally don't really understand what's happening anyways so that's why it's the path of less resistance.
> Is there an adapter which allows you to connect an analog phone to a digital phone line?

A VoIP analog telephone adapter (ATA) would be the most common form of this these days. Most will have two analog lines, though other configurations are available.

The Sipura SPA series and it's derivatives (Linksys PAP2(T), Cisco SPA122) are popular, as well as Obihai's lineup. I've used them all extensively and they're solid.

You can connect these to a SIP based VoIP provider or they can operate entirely standalone just calling port to port. With a bit of work you can even link up multiple devices on a private network IP to IP.
Their problem is they have too much churn and are big enough that they have trouble finding people that they would accept that haven't already been through the experience of working there.
The AU/CA/NZ servers were based on the UK server image and the GECOS field of root still says "Queen Victoria, heirs or successors" but is otherwise disabled. The servers are all run by separate orgs in independent data centres and have diverged substantially from the original image. Possibly root may still have physical access to the UK server but the threat is considered minimal.
We don't really update it for each new monarch, it's just a set of rules. They were last changed fairly recently, to remove male primogeniture in case Prince William had a daughter as his first child (though he didn't). Every single Commonwealth country had to pass its own individual bill amending the Act of Succession, and it finished in 2015[1]. It's pretty unlikely they'll change again any time soon, the only thing that's still up for much debate is the requirement that the person sitting on the throne isn't Catholic.

It'd be a hell of a scandal if these laws got out of sync, and yet it would be one of the stupidest scandals in history.

As an American, we don’t have anything like you corrupt aristocracy and class system. But we do have a corrupt billionaire class and systemic racism, so actually it’s the same thing after all. Instead of Eton, Harvard and Yale are the schools of the upper crust; it’s virtually impossible to be on the Supreme Court unless you attended one of those universities.

And instead of a queen, we have Kardashians and Elon (blessings and peace be upon him), who also seem to attract worship for things other people do. It’s almost like human nature tends to reproduce the same problems no matter the system of government.
Just because you don't notice issues don't mean there aren't issues. Tesla is widely regarded by "car people," both those who own them and those who don't, as having some of the worst fit and finish of any production car in the US. It's been that way since the Roadster. Here's a video review of the most expensive Tesla you can buy, by someone who rates cars professionally and rates it among the best he's ever driven, with paint flecks on the mirrors and other pretty egregious issues given the price point - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qen0ZlZM0ZA - and the video is less than a year old so it's unlikely given the long history of these and similar issues that they've made radical changes to their processes in the last 9 months or so.
Reading a lot of comments about saying goodbye to exceptional devs etc etc.

But the policy is One Job, One Pay.

If you get an exceptional dev and you want to pay them as such, simply label their job as "Exceptional Dev". Is this easy? No. But it does define the role more, what the company wants/needs the role to be.

And now if you find an equivalent in ANY country, they get the same pay. But they'd better live up to the terms of the job because everyone in the company knows your job and what you are being paid.

If you act like "average dev" then be sure that people will argue for your pay to match.
What language actually makes it simple?
Their recommendations is very basic though.
This is a different era of ISP. He was not signing up to have fiber installed to his house or whatever (which was not a thing back then), he was signing up to be able to call out to an ISP's server with his modem and get on the Internet from there. So the only thing the ISP knew about him was a username, password and fake billing details, and since the ISP was presumably not a telco, they could also not tell where the call was coming from.
> It's a lie if it's false when you say it - not if it becomes false in the unpredictable future

Isn't this exactly what's happening if you accept an exploding offer and then later rescind your acceptance if you get a better one? The job offer was the best you had at the time, so you accepted it. Somewhat unexpectedly you later receive a better offer, so you have to rescind the first.

I'm not necessarily saying I agree with this practice, but I do agree it's pretty close to what Coinbase is doing with the roles reversed.
I use Torchlight (https://torchlight.dev) for syntax highlighting on a static site (https://keygen.sh) and it’s been great. I use Torchlight’s CLI to precompile the code snippets during the build step. Much better than highlighting client-side with JS.

Isn't Go proof that this works just fine, arguably even better, with the blocking model?
err.. no they don't. An indie publisher is typically one or two marketing dudes sitting in an office somewhere and pretty good at writing press releases. Walmart is a massive retail chain with.. like.. millions of employees and like.. thousands of brick and mortar stores.

Oh, perhaps you thought I was talking about the platforms like Apple, Google, Steam and the like. I don't begrudge them their 30%
Same country, but restricted to DSL speeds because the sole vendor who provides near-gigabit service in this neighborhood is Spectrum, whose service quality is so low that AT&T DSL is still a better option.

Go two miles in any direction from our neighborhood, and you have multiple providers with gigabit or near gigabit speeds, including AT&T.

Regulatory capture indeed.
Many of these wrecks are declared War Graves, not to be disturbed.

The value of scrap steel which pre-dates the nuclear age, shielded by water is very high: it can be used to make MRI/NMR and low-background radiation equipment.

In general, the scrap metal of all kinds now exceeds the cost of recovery for many shallow waters, and these gravesites are being robbed by locals (who have lost income from fish stock losses) and non-locals (who invested in boats to do this)

They not only destroy war graves, they release huge amounts of toxic sludge from sump oil, fuel bunkers, tanks, and associated waste.

It's a disaster. Good map btw.

I'm 100% sure that countercultures still exist in general, and I think most people who say otherwise are from a specific counterculture that's gone mainstream.

Think about things that are outright criminal, that breach the TOS on most websites, or that are wildly offensive or ridiculous. Being repulsive doesn't mean something isn't a counterculture; in fact, it can be sign that it is.
Maybe it's wishful thinking, but I don't believe this will happen, and unless I'm mistaken, there's absolutely 0 evidence for it. People are usually attached to the artist when it comes to music. You buy a Bowie album because it has his name on it. You learn about them, look forward to their future work, maybe go see them live, etc.

Will computers replace EDM and elevator music? I don't know, maybe, who cares?

Another nutritional epidemiology study with an absurdly large effect size that is almost certainly due to confounding factors.

Yes, the researchers did an admirable job trying to control for confounders. Doesn't matter. Confounding factors for health are impossible to adjust for, whether it's healthy user bias or nutritional choices or a million other possible factors. There's just no way to take this sort of causality seriously when humans are living infinitely complex lives. Stop wasting money and do an RCT.

Also, traditional media is still embarrassingly bad at communicating correlation vs causation. How does this get past a science editorial board.
The problem is that a month or two of severance wasn’t a reasonable expectation considering what they were offering.

Look at this from the angle of an insurance company pricing in risk. For example, I might consider a job paying 500k TC for a 1/3 risk that the company goes bust in 2 months. I might also accept an offer for 300k at a company that has a 1/10 risk of going bust in 2 months. And there are a lot of people who would accept working at a company that pays 150k for a 1/100 chance of going bust in the same timeframe.

The thing is, the overall compensation for all of the above scenarios is exactly the same, but the risk is priced differently. Unfortunately some companies are deceptive, and don’t fairly articulate the risk to candidates, which can wildly swing the market value of their compensation. When expectations doesn’t match reality, people feel like they were taken advantage of.
There was a major hue and cry by founders, esp in Bangalore about how ungrateful the prospective employees were, when they ghosted the founders after accepting offers. These founders never really tried to understand the simple market dynamics and that they would do something similar to employees, should the market go down.

The playing God shit by founders has to end and this move by Coinbase gives a huge boost to employees to hedge their offers. I won't be surprised if employees accept 2 offers, join one and after a a couple of days say no to the other or ghost them.
I had that same issue but got over it once I started diving into rust. What really helped me are the compiler error messages. Without that i would have given up learning it

Since other colleges mouth the same platitudes about the benefits of diversity and the systemic racism they must atone for, Occam's razor demands we assume their admissions are similar unless proven otherwise.
The thing is... inflation numbers do not include house prices.

So these are two variables which are related in a very much looser way than it would seem at first sight.

I'd say if you have money to invest, forget about the inflation variable...it is not meaningful for your requirements
