LOL and true to my experience. In the 80's was a United Airlines employee on a project where Arthur Anderson (aka Accenture) was the consultant. The project included approximately 75 entry level AA programmers that were brought to the office on two big buses. My job was to write specs for them. The specs had to be 100% detailed, every "if", every "loop", except that I had to follow the AA methodology and write the entire program basically in flowchart form. Pencil and paper. The spec was a looseleaf notebook of diagrams. The spec would then be stored in a box, like, the kind you would use for moving, and the boxes put into a storage room. If I needed to change a spec, an AA employee would have to climb the piles of boxes to find my box, and then I would use actual scissors, actual glue, to make the change.

It. Was. Insane.
Rocket Fuel in Her Blood: The Story of JoAnn Morgan
If you talk to a Republican supporter they will say the same thing about their side, that the useless Republican politicians in Congress won’t stand up to the Democrats and actually accomplish anything, and the Democrats are full of dirty tricks that the Republicans just roll over for, and so on.

For both parties it’s partially right and partially wrong, but what it’s not is anything unique or inherent to one side.
So what placing wrong incentives because they neutralise a bad incentive in one component is still bad.
Occupy Wall St failed because it had no agenda in my opinion.

The agenda for LGBT rights movement? Marriage equality in law. You’ve got a clear goal.

Civil rights movement? Equal suffrage, repeal of discriminatory laws.

You can’t take action when no one is asking for a specific action.
I would not even say those things would count as “real peer review.” Peer review is supposed to involve replication. Unfortunately that almost never happens these days.
This is just reframing the point of the article. Diffuse harms are ignored unless they're useful for pushing an agenda.
> You never have the thought, "I'm not being payed enough for this shit?"

More like "no amount of money is enough to make me happy doing this shit"
I would’ve thought that the product photo was a strength of the offering (proof of legitimacy given designed hardware is expensive and shows commitment). But the redesign hides it away and uses illustrations like every startup’s MVP site! Seems insane.
I appreciate the messaging too. It definitely feels as a person wrote it and not a faceless corporate entity. However, as the self-proclaimed reigning typo champion several years running I will say you'd think a PR person would do a once-over on the text for mistakes before publishing.
>I think this is where we are headed with Microsoft and Linux.

It's been doing this already for some time now. The list of kernel devs on their directly taxable payroll grows each year, as more and more weird features are implemented that nobody outside of giant industry (google, facebook, oracle, etc) ever wanted but are now stuck with running in ring 0 on their PC's/phones. The time to fork was years ago, though there is always the opportunity of a rewrite/revolution; we have to move beyond GPLv2 to break free from the artificial encrypted (tivoized) cages built by these industrialist hacks.
I agree with most, especially that OP left the tap open. No risk for an agency and de facto unrestricted costs for OP.

With one exception of a blanket statement:

> - A good agency IS better than a freelancer

If there is a single freelancer:

- There is a single person responsible. If it gets diffused, it may easily end in an unending project, as no one is incentivized to finalize the project.

- The number of people working on the project is capped at one. You won't ever get charged for two people talking with each other.

- For a single freelancer, they may be some "sanity check" regarding the cost. For any well-known agency, it wouldn't raise one's eyebrows if you said [This Well Known Agency] charged you [any number] $. Logo design alone could have costed OP $50k.
It seems like you didn’t really read it, just the initial list of claims that he addresses.

Good point. The same thing definitely happens in physics too. For example, people attributed important advances in mathematical physics (such as the mean speed theorem) to Galileo despite them having been already developed extensively in the middle ages.
We know, though, that there are certain patterns and behaviors that contribute to car accidents. For example, we know that speeding was a factor in something like a third of all car deaths. And I’m pretty confident that’s an underestimate, because there are lots of roads where the speed limit almost certainly should be slower and speed would not be indicated in the accident report, even though it was a factor. (I also think it’s pretty easy to think of additional reasons speed might sometimes not be mentioned in the accident report, even when it was a factor, but I don’t have any numbers on that.)

If we regulated automobiles the same way we regulate aircraft, every single automobile would have a speed governor installed.

We also know that size is a significant factor. This is especially true anytime an accident involves a pedestrian or cyclist. And here again, despite clear, common sense evidence, cars are getting larger and heavier over time, not smaller and safer. (Cars have of course gotten safer, but mostly not through commonsense measures like, “make them smaller” or “make them go slower.” And so safety features inside the car are always fighting against our intransigence on those two fronts.)

Size and speed. This is really obvious stuff, if anybody cared.
A quick google says that 26.8% of drivers killed or severely injured in a car accident had alcohol in their system. Not drinking and driving significantly reduces your risk.
It is mandatory but not everyone follows the rules. Our car has been hit three times in the past 4-5 years and only one of the drivers was insured. (One didn’t even have a license!)
In the US, we both deflate the open class-ist discussion prevalent in the UK by pretending we are above that, while hypocritically we conflate class with cash -- in effect you buy 'pedigree' which is why our growing nouveau riche are such exceptionally gormless, gaudy jackwagons who often exhibit the worst of all trait-sets: often milquetoast but boorish, pearl-clutching yet belligerent, all while terrified of everything "different"...and we're the greatest place on Earth.

It should be a condition in the DSM-V.
I could see that possibly being true. I mean, driving is kind of weird; it seems to be mostly done with a part of the brain that can operate automatically with little conscious effort. It's sort of like playing the piano: if I'm playing some piece that I know well I probably won't screw up unless I actually try to consciously think about what I'm doing, which is when things fall apart.

That said, I think people should be reasonably safety-conscious about vehicle maintenance, avoiding risky situations, and avoiding things that could sabotage the automatic-driving part of their brain, like doing other things at the same time that require their attention and their hands and eyes.
C++ itself was a language designed to interop well with a single language.
> "Managers had dipped into the discretionary funds more often for women engineers, creating a pay gap for men in the same job category".

Right, so you lied when you said that they were prioritizing promoting women, which is false, and is completely unrelated to what you quoted in the article.

>You also coincidentally ignore the fact that Asians were discriminated against

No I didn't. I literally mentioned them. Me pointing out that you did entirely ignore the discrimination against women (because it does in fact completely invalidate the point you were going for) isn't ignoring Asians. Like I keep saying, its not zero sum. I am capable of believing that it is possible to dsciriminate against multiple groups.

> Just because you are (I presume) white and liberal and you aren't affected by such policies does not make them legal or moral.

I'm confused, so please explain it to me:

If I'm white, and these policies favor nonwhite people over white ones, how could I be unaffected?

Wow, 17%! At least it's slightly better than Coinbase's VCs like a16z who soaked their customers for at least 22%!

And the VCs get a tax break on on that, unlike Coinbase, as 2% is "expenses" and the other 20% is carry.

Disagree.

I think we haven’t curtailed big tech because we haven’t figured out what that involves (without dire consequences). What does it exactly involve anyway?

Founder / CEO. A lot of people will respond "no the founder needs to back off and let the marketing team do its job" but on a decision to allocate 50% of the annual marketing budget, the CEO should be involved.
Another golden memory of that project was when I was given the assignment to meet with users - accounting people - on screens for approving tax payments. It was kinda a big deal for me at that stage in my career, to even talk to users. So, I meet with these guys and I introduce the topic, and they go, "What are you talking about? What do you mean 'approving'? They are taxes. We HAVE to pay them"
I like this way of thinking but just to be devil’s advocate, we also constantly lose knowledge on a longer (but rather small) time scale. I think our high tech present, is at a bigger risk of losing >90% of what we’ve learned in the past few years. It’s like the global supply chain is great while it lasts. What happens to human knowledge if/when electricity is unavailable, hard drives are unavailable, etc. Some mad max or other post apocalypse situation is probably in the cards at some point, how do we keep the knowledge alive? If we knew how, would we? We seem to like to just ignore existential crises even when near and present. So it’s easy to be pessimistic about humanity in this regard.
It depends entirely on priorities and circumstance. Some folks are willing and able to wait to work somewhere they feel is a perfect fit for them, or special in some other way; others may be interested in transitioning to new work ASAP (or need to, for financial reasons).

When I left my last job, I quit without having anything lined up, and was fortunate enough to have a bit of buffer to take some time off to recuperate and search for new work. I got some promising interviews, but none were like my interviews with the company I work for now. I rejected a number of offers while still in the process with my current company (with the full understanding that there was no guarantee of anything waiting for me). My priority at the time was finding somewhere where I knew I would love to work, and not getting back to work as soon as I could. For me, it paid off to wait.

Our interview process is pretty involved, and not for nothing — we get a lot of applicants, screen heavily, and put in a lot of time and effort into each individual candidate at every stage. We don't have dedicated recruiters, and besides our ops team, we've got individual developers, designers, product managers, support folks, etc. involved in hiring for their respective domains. Our interviews are humane, first and foremost, and a good number of candidates I've gotten to speak to have described the process as refreshing (well, relative to the general hell that is interviewing). The general process is: written questionnaire, two interviews (one technical/skill-focused, one non-technical), and a chat with execs.

It's completely understandable if this process doesn't work for all candidates; we've made great progress tightening up the process, shortening it without compromising on quality, and have invested a lot of time in tooling to help us out to speed things up. But it also works exceptionally well for us and the folks we're lucky to work with (~0.1–1% hire rate depending on position) — since I started a few years ago, the company has more than doubled in size (from a small to a medium company), and in that time, we've had a total of 2 individuals decide it wasn't a good fit for them. The company culture is like nothing else, and it's an amazing place to work.
Data from China is not reliable.
They're becoming optional in most models and dropping completely in some (like T14s). Meanwhile, older lines with the port are being replaced with new models sans. While some models do come with it, they are by now in a minority.

I have worked for a MSP supplying internet services and groupware to institutions, and can tell you that the business and technical requirements for schools are almost indistinguishable from those of prisons.
Turns out, yes.

Gravity - some mystical force that attracts masses together - turns out to be a completely fictional thing. Mass curves spacetime, objects actually move in straight lines, and the fact you can explain the results of that as an 'attractive force' turns out to just be a convenient invention. The idea of summing how all that works in terms of a simple inverse square force is just an ingenious human observation and invention.
The banning of assault rifles is because it’s easy and doesn’t detract from peoples lives at all. Assault rifles are for assault and we don’t need more assault. So why have them? Because a few people think it’s cool to own?

Pistols and other Guns aren’t very effective at stopping deaths, but they’re perceived to be good defense, so banning them en mass is less palatable.

NYC banned pistols once because it was often the source of gang violence - and violence went down. Smart legislation used to address statistic use not headlines. But any ban will save lives and make people safer (and feel safer) so that’s why politicians today are clawing for whatever legislation they can pass.
This makes sense, and is in fact a US law. So the judge doesn't have to interpret NZ law, just rule that there's a valid reason for a "discovery" request.
> It did have clear goals - “we are the 99%”. It addressed wealth and income inequality and money in politics and it didn’t have a leadership head for the same reason Antifa doesn’t - they are collectives against hierarchal societies. They operated on loose consensus and because of these principals I agree it was weak. But their message was clear.

While that may have been retroactively applied to it, I got the sense that it was a movement for college kids to cut class and get high all day, commingling with their female peers. Funnily enough, my economics professor at the time asked one of the protestors what their views on the macroeconomy were, and the dude was so stoned he launched into a tirade about aliens or something equally nonsensical. It was certainly a cultural movement, but let's not make it seem like it was some large grassroots movement that united Americans all across the country to take down government and corporate corruption.

I took a delta flight (Virgin doing the check-in) from Heathrow to Seattle three weeks ago and holy shit they were utterly, insanely slow. I had Sky Priority so got the “fast” line. It took an hour and twenty minutes to check in the two families in front of us, plus ourselves. Three sets of travelers in eighty minutes!

The whole place was a mess, with unclear lines and multiple people checking exactly the same things.

It looked like a serious lack of training (the people in front of us had a bag that was too heavy and the agent didn’t know how to handle it) and a complete lack of management.

Oh, and the conveyer belt broke as well.
Money is fungible. The schools aren't funded that way, it is just how it was sold to the public. Every dollar that goes into schools will be reduced by the same amount in the general budget. The same happened in my state with the Lotto.
If it's anything like the data fabrication I've seen in industry, it's lack of ethics, laziness, mixed with deadlines/constraints beyond the individuals control, with a dash of arrogance that the conclusion is still correct, regardless, and it'll be fine.

I've also seen very qualified people have a massive holes in their perception, making them somehow unaware that they're generating garbage, and even defending the garbage when it's pointed out.

I'm amazed at the patience the author had. I would have terminated the contract after 4 weeks.

And they have a right to make that assumption. The important thing is making sure the patient is aware they are getting a PA and not an MD. Let the patient decide if that's OK.
Basically impossible to get through. As there are often cases where it picks up a speed limit from something like the off ramp on the equivalent of a highway. Which would be dangerous if it suddenly decelerated from 130 to 80.
I wonder if that includes massive productivity & time loss due as a result.

People want to prevent violence not punish it more.

I’ve never seen any real claim that people aren’t getting arrested for hurting people, but I’ve seen a lot of people that want to stop the violence before it happens.
I have a T14s Gen 1 for work, and it runs flawlessly Linux without major tinkering using Arch. Everything from sleep, display output, fingerprint reader, wifi, bluetooth, trackpad works out of the box and pretty darn well.

And I'm rocking a Dell XPS 9570 for personal use, still on arch, no real issue there neither. Well except the Nvidia gpu using prime that needed a truckload of work to get to work, but that's not Dell's fault.

So yeah, in my experience, a quick google search for systemic problems (bios related) of the laptop, its wifi chip support, etc, is enough to tell whether a laptop is fit for linux.
A build system optimized for use at Google seems like it must be unavoidably badly pessimized for practically everyone else, as with Kubernetes. But I have not tried it.

I know that some people use Cargo for non-Rust projects. Curious about experience with that, vs. e.g. Meson. CMake is used for a lot of projects, but that experience has been almost as bad as Autotools, yet still better than SCons or WAF.
Car manufacturers who voluntarily implemented this would go out of business so fast. Politicians who propose making this mandatory would face constituent uproar.

Limiting cars to 20mph on most roads would energize disengaged constituents like you wouldn't believe.
The article mentions that the main reason for suspecting that results were fabricated is that many images from the researcher's papers seem to have been manipulated. As someone who is not particularly familiar with AI but occasionally picks up on it here on HN, I am now wondering how difficult or easy it is these days to take a manipulated image of a western blot and feed it to an AI tool trained on unmanipulated western blots to create a deepfake that is then virtually indistinguishable from a true one. -- Can perhaps anyone here familiar with deepfake technology provide an assessment?

You have to think that this type of news does add ammo for climate science deniers, covid vaccine skeptics, and ivermectin/hcq proponents to make the case consensus science != absolute science.
Regardless, I do think most people agree that all science should have the opportunity to be subjected to earnest and thoughtful scrutiny, and it shouldn't be a career ending endeavor to do so.
It’s merely the cost of a few miles of urban freeway. Which IMO reflects well on NASA and poorly on our infrastructure spending.

Yeah, that is pretty close to what I'm talking about. Coming at it from a different perspective - learning theory - but it seems to be the same overarching idea. I'm extending it a little though to something similar to anachronistic reasoning being incorrect - you can't divorce prudential decisions from their context. When you do judgement of the decisions is flawed because it doesn't acknowledge the actual constraints the decision was made under.
