> To be clear, these are all things that I personally watched happen and had happen to friends in fraternities. Not technically any Stanford ones, so I guess you got me there - maybe they were all squeaky clean.

Not technically any Stanford ones? Can you elaborate on what you mean by "technically"?

Because it sounds like those statements you wrote are not based on any experience whatsoever with the fraternities and other group houses covered in the article. Just your own personal experiences with other fraternities, and an assumption that they're all the same.
Not really. It's more of a wait and see, "lets hope for the best, but plan for the worst" kind of scenario.
Well, they are certainly not moving to stocks. How long are they going to wait until reinvesting their cash, with inflation at 8.6% per year?
Considering that most skilled tech work generally makes plenty to live on, lots of us don’t optimize for maximum salary (or want a “salary” at all).

And “risk” isn’t something that gets shown to you in an excel spreadsheet and then rolled on a die when you start a project. It’s something that you assess for yourself, from very little data, and with your own particular risk tolerance.

With all that in mind, choosing to work in an unauthorized industry is no different than working in any other industry: startups, fintech, enterprise, whatever.

You do it because you like what it represents, or who you work with, or the way it feels, etc; or because you don’t feel like you have other choices for whatever reason.
Well let's pretend Ukraine controlled 67% of all semiconductor manufacturing. Now let's pretend Russia invades them and they can no longer freely produce or export those chips, and since it can take years to get new foundries up and running elsewhere in the world, that means we are all screwed.

Now swap Ukraine with Taiwan, and Russia with China and you have your answer.
It would be unusual to see an epitaph containing any personal thoughts, because most such messages are written by surviving family members, not the deceased.

Out of the 50 states it ranks 39th. That’s not good.

18,407 bridges, 9.3% of which were structurally deficient in 2019

14% of roads are in poor condition. Each motorist pays $500 per year in costs due to driving on roads in need of repair

https://www.wral.com/report-bad-roads-cost-nc-drivers-billio...

Washington, D.C.-based transportation nonprofit TRIP says deteriorating, congested and unsafe roads across North Carolina cost the state’s drivers a total of $10.3 billion annually. In the Raleigh and Durham areas, it works out to $1,442 per driver each year.

The NC Chamber Foundation is calling for the state to phase out the gas tax and replace it with other sources of revenue. It advocates for a mileage-based user fee, adjustments to the highway use tax and dedicating part of the statewide sales tax to transportation projects to help make up the difference.
RiotX existed as an experimental client alongside the original Riot, the intention was always to replace Riot with RiotX and this was made very clear (The original java implementation sucked, although what has become Element still has its many many problems)

> First, you can't preview images in a 7z file. If you have a 7z archive full of JPG images, open it up and double-click, you'll get an error in Windows that says the image can't be viewed. WinRAR on the other hand has no problem previewing images.

But I just tried that for myself and it worked fine.

> Said honestly, if 7-Zip had the ability to preview images properly, I'd probably switch to it even though it doesn't have a recovery record option. When I archive my digital camera photos, I like easy preview access from within the archive, but 7-Zip just doesn't do that. I could deal with the no-recovery-option and the stupid .001 files, but no image previews? Total deal-breaker.

So basically the entire premise of this article is built on a falsehood.

And now it seems you've expanded to every independent student organization, which apparently are all too brutalizing to students and must be abolished, to be replaced by the perfect all-seeing vision of university bureaucrats and administrators.

I can say that my house (which admittedly was explicitly themed around nonviolent activism) never beat or hazed any member of it in the three years I was there. And yet it still has fallen under the eye of Sauron.
I highly recommend you learn the basics of AWK, which is a little language that lets you match on and run commands on every line of input (so AWK "scripts" are usually one-liners). The very basics can be learn in 5-10 minutes, the whole language in a couple of hours (read the first three chapters of "The AWK Programming Language" by A, W, K.)

For searching recursively through folders, I recommend ripgrep (rg), though it won't do number conversions and the like.

Self-promotion (but I think it's useful here) is my GoAWK project, which is a POSIX-compatible version of AWK, with the recent addition of proper CSV support: https://benhoyt.com/writings/goawk-csv/

The pay is insanely high. That's what does it.

Plus FAANG is like grad school for startups. Startups love their CTOs and tech leads to be ex-FAANG. Looks great on the "who we are" pages and slides. You're way more likely to be able to land a top-level position at an early, promising startup with that in your work history. I suspect lots of them round-file any applications that don't have either FAANG or something really remarkable and relevant (say, published research in the same area the startup's working on) as their first filtering pass. They need someone with a history they can sell to investors and early clients.
Bitcoin Core (and most of the rest) have been digital ponzi scheme since around 2017 when Blockstream and other corporate interests successfully temporarily hijacked control of the "BTC" GitHub repo and inject the malicious code know as RBF.

This attack effectivly killed the number one and tititular usecase of Bitcoin, Peer-to-Peer Digital Cash.

99% of the industry is a fraud propt up by Blockstream's parent company Bitfinx and Tether. Only a few actual real projects (out of thousands of frauds) remain, namly XMR, BCH and maybe a few others. If you are "investing" in any other cryptocurrency or NTF you are participating in a convoluted ponzi scheme.
Are you unfamiliar with loneliness? A full sentiet AI cyborg is still a machine people made. It cannot relate to you. Even animals are better because we know they are flesh and feel pain and pleasures like we do. To have company is not to chat but having proximity to someone that understands you the way you understand yourself.
Leaving aside the inanity of zdragnar's broad-bush painting of "anti-racism," it's worth noting here that this is somewhat falling victim to some historical propaganda of other races being "inferior" - e.g. "we're bringing civilization to the savages."

There were pretty substantial urban civilizations in Central America and around the Indian Ocean that Europeans (Portugal, first, I believe) waged war on early in the colonial era for reasons like religion, prior to industrialization, and this had a lot to do with shifting the economic center of gravity of the world to Europe from Asia in the first place.

(At a meta-level, this is the sort of thing - pointing out bits of history that often get left out of Euro-centric history lessons in the US - that my understanding of "anti-racist" would include; not stopping attendance in a hiking club... any school administrator who believes a hiking club couldn't be compatible with diversity is wrong... but the existence of wrong people who think they're fighting racism is not the same thing as it being wrong to fight racism.)
We could decide that doxxing amounts to a threat, and charge people who do it.
It's not whether they succeeded, they simply didn't happen where he thought they would, the way he thought they would nor developed the way he thought they would. This was a real, well-recorded problem - after all, his work aspired to be a scientific theory, if the theory predicts things but they don't happen, you have a problem. Dealing with this problem is a pretty big part of the development Marxism, it's simply inaccurate to say nobody thought he wasn't prescient. Marxists had to account for his non-prescience and went at it with great energy. Here's one historical example of many:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism_in_one_country
we had this topic on HN before. i do not believe that many countries forbid individuals to take on a single long term client if they wish. they may have to do their own taxes and register as a sole proprietor of some sort, and in some places that may be complicated, but not allowing an individual to do that would be pretty restrictive.

the onus is usually on the employer. if the employer doesn't have an any legal entity in the target country they can't be forced to to employ that individual.

that said, some countries really don't like individuals to run their own businesses. is sweden one of those?
It certainly didn't help the supply chain. I think the shock to the economy did more to affect people's perception of things in a self-fulfilling way than it did directly.
The architect doesn't really matter anyway, as far as I can tell the main purpose of expletive deleted architects is to make life difficult for the engineers.
I worked at a supercomputing facility for a few years. The codes are typically decades old, maintained by hundreds of people over the years. By and large, they understand their performance profiles, and are working to squeeze as much out of the code as they can.

In addition, the performance engineers tend to be employed by the facilities, not the computational scientists. They're the ones who do a bunch of legwork of profiling the existing code on their new platform, and figuring out how to squeeze any machine-specific performance out of the code.

A lot of these codes are time-marching PDE solvers that do a bunch of matrix math to advance the simulation, so the kernel of the code is responsible for a vast majority of the time spent during a job. So it's not necessarily a huge chunk of code that needs to be tuned to wring better performance out of the machine.

The parallel communication they do is also to an API, not an ABI - the supercomputing vendors drop in the optimizations in the build of the library for their machine, to take advantage of network-specific optimizations for various communications patterns. If you express your code in the most-specific function (doing a collective all-to-all explicitly, say, rather than building your own all-to-all out of the point-to-point primitive) the MPI build can insert optimized code for those cases.

There's some misalignment because the facility will be in the top 500 for a few years, while the code lives on and on and on. If your supercomputer architecture is really out of left field (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roadrunner_(supercomputer)) it's not going to be super worth it for people to try to run on it without porting support from the facility.

My attention is a commodity and I should be able to set the price. Attention theft is legal and rampant.

Instead of advertisers setting targeting me, I should be able to target them (when I deign to pay for something with my attention).
Is it possible this is a consequence of proportionally fewer economic opportunities (i.e. increasing income/wealth gap)? Maybe the combination of low hanging fruit having been picked, and automation and technology allowing for massive economies of scale inevitably lead to a “big getting bigger” scenario. And because the lower hanging fruit has been picked, the risk and hence barrier to entry is very high for non conventional routes.
Soak the rich is what you say when you're trying to get the middle class to vote to soak itself.
A little bit. At least I don’t have to regret not looking at it in my desktop browser.
Not all. Not even most!

I was in a fraternity, and we never laid a hand on a person. Extremely strict zero-tolerance towards even suggesting that someone was required to drink. The worst hazing that we ever allowed was asking new members to go get us some coffee -- if they had time.

But just because your house is ostensibly "devoted to French culture" or whatever doesn't mean you can't get up to some horrible shit. It doesn't give you a free pass just because you're missing the Greek letters.

I mean, do you think fraternities are "devoted to" hazing? That it's on their mission statement?

I am assuming good faith. I wouldn’t ask you why they believe that if I didn’t. Incidentally you didn’t answer my question: “why is that?”
Considering how grateful OP is for the advice shared by the community here previously, my impression is they're open to the continued advice. It's hardly unsolicited. I don't consider it rude when people are trying to be genuinely helpful. If you consider that rude you might be overly sensitive yourself and missing the bigger context.

It's not happening here, but: I really really don't understand people who get offended by "unsolicited" advice. Chances are it's coming from a place of honest care and concern. Just ignore it if it doesn't pertain to you. When you get a strong reaction from someone in response to unsolicited advice, I find more often than not it's actually striking a chord and probably more needed than the person realizes. I'd want that feedback whether I solicited it or not, personally.
Well, you can read my longer comment downthread but 'nobody accused Marx of non-prescience' just isn't true. Marxists did! Pretty much right off the bat.

If this is your criterion for working at a startup, then you are too conservative to work at one. Every job carries risk, and looking to eradicate it is pointless.
Unlike men who are constantly generating gametes (sperm) women are born with their gametes(eggs) and don't make any more throughout their life. This means that all the eggs of your mother (one of which became you) were created while she was gestating inside your grandmother. Now, how much your grandmother starving influences _your_ eyes is up for some debate, as epigenetics aren't well understood.

Hope that helps
> CPU time is always cheaper than an engineer’s time.

But my time is sometimes cheaper than 10 other developer's time. Or 50. Or all of our customers now and in the future: https://xkcd.com/1205/

Additionally, a fatal flaw of most project management theory is that it measures time as the constrained resource, which is rarely if ever the case. The real constraint is not time. It's either attention or energy, depending on the context (and motivation). We are not machines. Taking 10 minutes off of a process doesn't necessarily allow us to get 10 more minutes of work done, while taking 5 minutes off of another may actually save us 15.

"Government oversight is how we have adopted widespread and enduring controls against unwanted behavior across time."

True, but not universally effective. We can look at things like the war on drugs or even cyber bullying.

If we're actually looking at an effective law, it would be one focused on educating industry participants, not simply pushing the age higher and hoping that a couple years makes them smarter.
At some point you have to accept that if you want to know something, you have to learn it. At one point, you didn't know grep, awk, sed, etc... And then you learned them.

Or you can just stick with the old tools if you prefer not learning a new thing - that's a perfectly valid option.
Consciously off-topic: Posting on an open forum invites it.

The comment to which you're replying makes some good points and isn't finger-pointy, and is more suggestive of potential gaps to fill. Any long-term relationship requires hard work, and so advice is often a helpful reminder of this, whether the advice is good or not it can trigger a re-evaluation of perspective; a view from the outside of what may have become taken for granted from the inside.
That was a depressing read, knowing where things went afterwards.

//EDIT: Decent Roger Waters album, though. I should hunt it down on vinyl.

"The Shallows" by Carr - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Shallows_(book) - was even worse. Published in 2010, based on research dating up to about 2008, it said, "Huh. Reading stuff on a screen is weird. We need to be really, really careful about what we do with that going forward."

And it was entirely ignored as we launched into the smartphone, attention-vampire model of personal electronics.

nationalistic societies don’t keep to themselves. They each consider themselves “the one true society”, and generally try to expand as much as possible and make everyone else second class citizens.

By “keep to themselves” i don’t mean communities should reject outsiders who want to join. They just need to not bother outsiders who don’t support them and don’t want to join. People from completely different cultures can and do exist together, however they share some other beliefs or commonalities; people who are polar opposites generally can’t coexist unless they’re separate.

Even then, a community which rejects all outsiders and secludes itself would be fine. Like that one native tribe who attacks any modern intervention. As long as they’re not subjugating their own citizens and preventing people from leaving like North Korea.
I wonder if this is just the march of "accountability" that comes from ubiquitous cellphone cameras, cloud photos and the general erosion of student privacy (both self-inflicted and external)
Eh, a lot of the work at a FAANG, or a GAMMA, or whatever acronym you want to use for "big stable tech companies", is on products that people use and like and the changes you make matter to people. You may be a cog in a machine, but it's an important machine.
How do you count cash flow? Nominal? Or inflation-adjusted?

> systems thinking would indeed say to pay strong attention to extremists.

Incorrect. Systems thinking demands that you look at the system (government, dems, repubs) in their entirety. "System" not "part of system". Anyway, g'day I'll let you have the last word if you'd like.
I don't know where you're going with "if for whatever reason you buy into that" or whatever.

But it's just mathematics. Normalization, basically. If there are X high school seniors in the country, and Y incoming seats in Stanford's next class, you can't take everyone. So if everyone works harder on their profile it's the same as if nobody does.

I don't think it's in question that this has happened. I would also go a bit further and say that I believe that assembly-lining more "directed" academic effort into every bit of students' time is going to be counter-productive for innovation and creativity, since those are by nature more spontaneous.
"technically not Stanford" meaning I have heard horror stories from 15+ fraternities at 5+ schools -- but not Stanford.

So hopefully you'll forgive me if I generalize. Especially when one of the most widely-storied campus sexual assault cases in recent years happened at the Stanford Kappa Alpha house [1] -- the first fraternity house mentioned in the linked article.
