One problem with this model is that founders shooting for “Mittelstands” may not need/want to give away equity. The author’s previous post actually advised this [1]:

> Advice for Founders: Stay indie as long as possible.

> Take advantage of new bootstrapping tools and non-dilutive funding sources. Raising VC funding increases growth potential but reduces optionality. Startups can always raise money later.

>It’s near impossible to return money raised and get your equity back.

> Trend: It’s easier now to fund businesses without giving up equity.

...and what's even more frustrating is when the latter use it as an excuse to force us into their authoritarian dreams.
Why would you think it's dumb?

It makes as much sense as a talk on racial discrimination or gender identity discrimination to me, so I'm curious what's perceptively different about it to others.
To add to what others have said, the original form was a rebuke: "RTFA", meaning "read the fucking article", directed at people who make ignorant comments without having read the article. I first came across it on Slashdot in the late 90s, but I imagine it may have its roots earlier than that, and possibly from somewhere else.

I think nowadays most people use "TFA" (no leading "R") in a fairly benign way, without the aggressive tone of the original.
This looks nicely done, but for anyone interested I'd like to mention that these courses aren't something that can replace learning the fundamental concepts and theories behind ML/RL, for which there exist excellent books and courses that focus more on math and theory. I would go there.

These courses teach you how to call a library and use an API. You get nearly the same thing from just looking at the docs. Please don't say you "know RL" after this.
For me, I never went to streaming platforms in the first place. For listening to music, I primarily use PowerAmp on my phone (or an old phone that has turned into a dedicated music device). I still have mp3 files in my library that I ripped from CDs or downloaded off of Napster (and later, Kazaa) from the late 90s. A lot was also paid for and downloaded from iTunes and Amazon, and quite a bit from Ruckus too (mid oughts, when I went to college). Amazon still offers the ability to pay for and download mp3s without DRM, which is the primary means through which I obtain music today. A small subset were downloaded from Youtube too.

I've never been too picky about quality, but it has worked great for me. Pretty much everyone around me has moved to streaming services though.

I feel compelled to mention The Laszlo Letters and its sequels. In the 1970s, comedian Don Novello (aka Father Guido Sarducci) wrote a variety of crank letters to CEOs and politicians. He got a variety of responses. He published the letters and their responses in the books. It had sort of a Borat-by-post vibe.

That's so crazy to me that it could even be allowed after an inspection for a certificate of occupancy. I worked for a company that leased space in a very corporate filled with laywers/finance type of tennants, but this company, a video post house, was very much not either of those. The building kept requiring expense after expense (partly in hopes of making it so expensive they'd choose to go somewhere else). Part of these expenses were that all cabling had to be run through conduit including CAT5, phone cabling, 75ohm coax video cables. In the room that doubled as the machine room and small data center, they required smoke detectors every 6 feet.

And these knuckleheads got to build one in what sounds like a wooden hut with no electrical cut off? Sheesh!
Or, for that matter, "sex discrimination"? What discrimination is illegal and what is legal? Some will be illegal even if immoral.

Moreover, it can actually be at least "more straightforward" to reach accurate wall clock timings with an FPGA, than by trying to meet deadlines in a common OS environment, as the FPGA is "just" loaded with a bitstream that will it do more or less exactly what the original chip did and nothing else, spoken strictly in the digital domain.

I'd also like to think that it's more efficient, since at least in theory it could be (cutting down on all the extremely superfluous software overhead for the task), but sadly I don't actually know how common FPGAs really perform in that specific case against reasonably efficient modern CPUs.

This is the thing I find super weird about a lot of the comments in this thread. In the vast majority of cases, it's the majority discriminating against the minority, often a very small minority. (Which makes sense; I mean, most minority groups don't have the clout to discriminate against members of the majority. Sure, it happens [c.f. apartheid in South Africa], but it's not the common case.)

And yet somehow that makes it not worthy of awareness and fixing? It's a very odd argument to make.

We are actually in agreement. What we don't seem to agree on is that easiest way for a corporations to avoid this particular pitfall is by not being anywhere near it. Especially in 2022.
In maths, this does seem very dependent on what work your peers and community recognize as progress. Maybe problems that are more and more trivial should be considered acceptable to publish, simply as being a contribution in filling in gaps. Or maybe the works of many more mathematicians should be tied together in larger contributions.

More scientist will mean that overall we have more time to spend in the dusty cobweb filled corners that have yet to be studied in fine detail. And while many of those corners contain nothing interesting. If even one of them contains something truly undiscovered it's worth it right?
Presumably you're using this comment in support of rejecting "guaranteed longer holidays", but you can just as well use it to support "amending the constitution to treat them as not an employer".
Answering this question is an enormous side track, a category of research in its own.

I'd first say that I do not share the default assumption that discrimination is widespread. As if it is some default, rather than an exception. You're far too cynical.

I base this on 2 decades of work experience. I work in a small tech hub with 80 nationalities. It literally cannot get more diverse. We don't have DEI departments, social justice slack channels or activists. And somehow it all works fine. No tensions, no outrage, happy workers.

A mystery, I guess? It's almost as if people are pretty good, by default.

How to make a test neutral? Background check before the interview, to verify claimed education/credentials. Then a test similar to what you do when going on one of those certification exams.

Then the "softer" in-person test, where you collect multiple inputs to prevent the bias of a single interviewer.

I pretty much think that's good enough to give the candidate a 3 month trial period where actual work performance is measured by some agreed metric. Pass that and you're permanently in. The end.

No, a recent version of Monterey finally stripped it (thankfully).
There are no examples of diaspora communities from the Indian subcontinent that have maintained caste discrimination after immigration stopped. If Indians stop being able to tell the difference I doubt the ability of Westerners to do so.

> Yes, coming up with objective metrics is hard, but it's not something that's solved by DEI. Using that as an objection against getting rid of DEI doesn't make sense.

It does though. The objection isn't simply "coming up with objective metrics is hard" but more honestly "there are not objective metrics". This is true for a variety of reasons. A sort of overarching one is that in a Goodhart's law sense, if a metric is public, people will game it. People with more resources ("power", "privilege", "class", whatever you want to call it) will be able to make themselves appear to look better according to the metric, all else equal.

In that sense, a lot of DEI is akin to an abuse-prevention org: figuring out how particular ways of measuring can mislead or harm, and how we can improve or account for those in the absence of any single perfect measurement.
Javelin? Not quite. But yes for sure with M47 Dragon systems. (Especially back then, if you killed the guy aiming the missile, the missile will almost certainly miss).

In any case, Javelin is thermal imaging and thermal smoke probably works as a countermeasure.

The speed of ATGMs is a major downside in any case, leaving room to react and for smoke countermeasures.

I have never worked at Google or a big tech firm, but I subscribe to and have listened to more than a few "Talks at Google." Wikipedia says this has existed since 2007.

The website says, "The world's most influential thinkers, creators, makers and doers all in one place. Talks at Google. Where great minds meet."

The last 5 talks in my feed:
- LGBTQ & Spirituality
- Neurdiversity: How to Love, Live, and Work Better
- A Discussion On His Book "Jews Don't Count"
- A Lookback at Japanese Internment & a Storied Writing Career
- No One Understands You and What To Do About It

https://talksat.withgoogle.com/

I don't think I've directly answered your questions, but these talks touch on social issues, tech valuations, Mars and space exploration, physical and athletic performance, health and diet, and I guess anything else that Googlers would be interested in hearing about.

Note that I didn't call it racism. But it definitely fits the definition of discrimination by race.

>When I relocated from my predominantly Black suburb in Dallas, Texas to an immensely diverse neighborhood in Brooklyn, I didn’t expect to receive so many matches on Tinder and Hinge from non-Black men. I had always found myself in mostly white spaces — college, jobs, vacations — yet white men never took a deep interest in me before I moved to the East Coast. And while I had spent two years dating a German guy who was studying abroad at my university, it was only by transplant that a non-Black person really showed interest in courting me beyond a “you’re pretty for a Black girl” comment.

>Eventually, I stopped swiping on non-Black men altogether. There had been several cases before when a white man would match with me and then DM me something obscure like my skin tone reminding him of chocolate or feeling the need to tell me he’s always wanted to fuck a Black girl. I found it ludicrous that these men actually thought that was the way to a Black woman’s heart — or panties — and would unmatch them instantly. But in New York City, the progressive melting pot of America, white men (and Asian and Latino men for that matter) wanted to take me out for dinner and drinks, probed my interests, and complimented my photos in a respectable manner.

It's a problem here because low-caste Indians do make it to the US, just in very small numbers compared to high-caste Indians. And if they still suffer discrimination, shouldn't we as a society try to fix that? Perhaps it's even more critical here, as the low-caste group is an even smaller minority here, and so you'd expect they have an even harder time standing up for themselves. Especially given that they're often here on H1-B visas (or similar), and making waves at work could get them fired and and forced to leave the country.

It's a hell of a deal with the devil they have to make: put up with the same discrimination they suffered at home, but without any kind of social support network, in exchange for the possibility getting a green card 10 or 15 or 20 years down the road and thus gaining some security residence-wise.
I agree.

> people who want to do philosophy without studying any of it

strikes me as unnecessary gatekeeping. The context here is fairly basic logic and critical thinking that clearly does not require formal study. I hope that more people who haven't ever been formal students of philosophy employ critical thinking, not less!
The right-wing party line on this is that caste was invented by the British to conquer and divide Indians, and has nothing to do with Hinduism. So if you claim castes still exist, you're by definition a Hinduphobic colonialist. The awkward fact that jati/varna is extensively covered in pre-British Hindu scriptures is handwaved away through claiming it's all spiritual metaphors and being a Brahmin was all about mental purity etc, not bloodlines.

Common things webapps use that Rust frameworks don't provide:

Well on its own that phrase alone shouldn't lead to the dark paths, but what I think you're getting at is that the dark paths come from when someone (the 'advantaged') start dictating what those talents are and aren't (especially to the 'disadvantaged')..

Well, this is stupid and darkly hilarious. I'm only slightly ashamed to admit I created something similar, albeit much less sophisticated, several years ago.

Before Reddit started worrying about advertiser friendliness and cleaned up its act, there was a thriving network of hate subreddits. Probably a lot of overlap with the /pol/ population, based on the amount of overt, disgusting racism to be found there.

Anyway, I wrote some crappy Python that would go visit my carefully curated list of racist cesspool subreddits, hoover up all the post and comment text, and add it to the corpus, then some more crappy Python that would ingest the corpus and do Markov chain stuff to spit out some fairly convincing internet hate speech. I think the key to my success was that frothing racists in comment threads typically aren't putting forward the most cogent arguments anyway, so it's a pretty low bar.

I didn't post this little project or write it up anywhere, because I felt bad enough having brought it into the world, but it was good for a chuckle, at least for a little while.

I was never particularly annoyed by spam. But I was deeply annoyed to find that important, time-sensitive work-related mail is merrily flagged by work-provided GSuite, and the best I can do is to try to Rube Goldberg some rules to force it back into the inbox.

In metropolitan areas (where I imagine most Teslas are driven), it often just isn’t possible to maintain a textbook-safe following distance. The instant you allow more than the average distance ahead of you, another car will jump in to fill the gap.
To be honest I'm not even quite sure what you mean when you say "film stores". It could mean stores that sell photographic film, or stores that sell movies. Presumably you mean the former, but I certainly wouldn't call stores that sell film as "film stores". They'd most likely be photography stores or maybe at big box/department/pharmacies. In that respect, asking for "film stores" is like asking for "bacon stores".

Our decision ultimately came down to the facts, not the politics. The choice by the D.A. to take this particular case to trial seemed clearly politically motivated, but our only concern (as far as I could tell) was balancing justice for the defendant and the victim as it related to the incident.
That's... not really caste, though? I mean, ok, caste systems are determined by heredity, as is skin color, but that's not really the same thing. One's caste is enforced by social convention, while one's skin color just... is.
> Something like 90% of the Indian immigrants in the US are high-caste (big surprise, lower-caste Indians are less likely to be able to get work visas and travel), so of course this is a minority problem.

Why do you think this is the case despite one of the most active affirmation programs in the world (just search "Reservation in India" on Wikipedia)? Something like 50-60% of seats in colleges and jobs in the government are reserved for lower castes (not a typo, the Wikipedia page should link you to official Indian constitution websites). I am from India and I genuinely don't know the answer myself.
That's not the same concept: that requires tools and woodworking skill. A CR filter cube requires only a box fan, duct tape, filters, and the box the filters came in.
In largely the same way that segregation was framed as a "Southern Way of Life", yes, that's what it seems like to me too. Civil rights era apologia was filled with descriptions of how separate but equal was a perfectly fine system and how everyone was OK with it down south. I get the same vibe here.
I’m not sure different people having different talents is the problem. Rather, isn’t it that the caste system predetermines your standing by birth, and not by your capabilities? Compound onto that inequality and injustice, and it’s not hard to see how such a system can be abused.
Right, and this is exactly why they need to reject. At least the sender would know and could try to contact the receiver to let them know Gmail/outlook is blocking them.

Right now, when you send an email, you don't know if it was received or not and if the lack of answer is a conscious decision or because of filtering.
Interesting. I wonder how difficult it would be to bundle these features to work across devices like WorldWideWeb.app. If people were okay with a fairly opinionated workflow, you could offer some cool features.

You’d run into the same issues as Create React App for more able users, but you might not encounter that as much with the type of people who would want this.
