They kind of addressed this by saying that they try to keep management billing hours quite low. Perhaps this low percentage would have been "enough" had the size of the project been bigger? Although, I think it'd be fair to argue that the designers should have been "trained" (i.e., with time not billed as "management" for a client's project) to stick to the project scope a bit better.

I get it though: my only experience has been with internal, full-time employees, and I see is given a fair amount of latitude to do exciting things and to experience small failures. It's a different mindset for external contractors, it seems.
We will all be able to savor the irony when Dutch schoolchildren's private info is leaked, because whatever group they're going with will have no where near the concern for security and protecting private data like Google does.
I shitload of the economy is directly or indirectly government funded. In Australia defence, health/hospital/disability/aged/mental health care (even if private), education all levels (even private), public infrastructure and construction, and government owned enterprises (Australia Post/NBN etc.). They will get their funding through budget.
As the OP said, other countries look on with bemusement at people arguing with a straight face that an anecdote involving one gun owner shooting another gun owner after he'd killed three people with an assault weapon widely and legally available locally proves that a policy of encouraging universal gun ownership is better than alternatives. Not least because some of said countries have four orders of magnitude fewer per capita gun deaths

Sure, we get that changing US gun culture might be a bit more challenging than, say, the UK, where there weren't that many people with handguns to start off with when they were banned, and so it was particularly easy to convince even most criminals carrying wasn't worth the additional penalties. What we find bizarre is that someone buys an assault weapon in the sort of store that's ubiquitous in the US and nonexistent in other countries, walks into a mall with it because local regulations say there's no reason to apprehend somebody entering a mall with assault rifles until they've killed someone, and that event gets chalked up as a win for local gun policy because the casualties were in the single digits this time due to the rare use of a civilian gun against a mass shooter
This device is a tour de force of secure-device design. Sequestering the key security functions away from the more easily compromised USB and UI service hardware was inspired.

My only "wish" for the device would be rubber dome buttons instead of the clicky diaphragm buttons shipped. I think the clicky ones are subject to audio recording analysis. We talked about having the Precursor generate fake keyclick sounds during the time you enter sensitive data, but I don't know if that was ever implemented, and anyway it would be better for it not to be needed.

Wouldn't a rubber dome keypad be cheaper, anyway?

But this application makes me much more inclined to buy. Thus far I have only kicked in coffee money.

Not surprised! One of my first jobs was interning at a digital agency, and I really hated it. I'm probably completely biased, but I'd never hire them for anything.

One of their big sales pitches was that they didn't offshore any of the work, it was all 100% local. But they'd hire a bunch of interns to do the work, and pay them next to nothing.

In fact, the coding assignment for the interview was a client's new website. On the day I started, my first task was to finish up my coding assignment so they could sent it to the client.

Being an intern I was slower, and produced lower-quality work. All my forms would submit using GET requests instead of POST. If I had to modify how the CMS worked, I'd just modify core code instead of making an add-on. I'm sure that caused confusion when the next upgrade wiped the custom code!

And apparently it was one of "the good" digital agencies...

I believe he should have named the agency.

Obviously you never want that to happen to your own agency and would like to think any responsible CEO / owner wouldn’t allow these situations to happen (don’t get me wrong, I appreciate mistakes do occur - but this smells very different), so unless they suffer some consequence, they’ll do it to the next unsuspecting client and keep doing so.
I think it’s good advice in general that if you are only trying to build a single language then stick to sensible defaults in that language.

But once you start running into things like multiple languishes and multiple platforms etc it probably makes sense to think about something like Bazel but I agree with you as of right now the learning curve is way too high. I’m very curious to see where they can get it to in a few years, as I mentioned in my other comment, the 6.0 release with bzlmod along with the toolchains and platforms APIs starts to make things quite a bit more grokkable but there is still a long way to go yet I think.
I think it matters a lot, because that "awful content" is popular enough that others watch it. People can watch and read things they swear they would never be interested in, but this only happens sometimes. The algorithm taking cues from that is itself a discouraging factor on clicking on them.
If student privacy is the concern, do you think going with something self hosted is a better idea than sticking with Google?

Finger trees allow you to do amazing things. In essence they let you build an index, or multiple indices, for your dataset and then store them in a single structure.

When I go from Haskell back to imperative land I find myself greatly missing this ability. Sure I can make multiple hashmaps or trees or whatever but being able to stuff it all in one data structure is amazing.

One structure I built with them that is much more difficult with typical structures is a "block list" structure.

In this structure each block has a particular width and they're all stacked side by side.

I want to perform a query, "which box is at position X". So if my boxes are of widths 7,20,10, then the lookup for 2 yields the first box, the lookup for 12 yields the second, etc.

More interestingly, if add a new box between the second and third, the indices covered by the last box is increased.

With finger trees you use a sum monoid. This is easy. In other languages you have to roll your own structure either using a list (with o(n) lookup) or a tree with o(log n) lookup, but o(n) inserts (to translate the indices of future blocks)

How many factory or construction jobs do you want? How many should be funded by government. We'll be paying collectively for these jobs forever or they will disappear. And what do we get for this expense? We certainly don't get to be safer. More science research creates jobs too, and those jobs can advance our competency as a country and as a spieces, and advance self-funded market based industry too.
> 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.

Promotion or bonus, do the details really matter? In either case, Google's internal DEI initiatives caused managers either directly or indirectly to favor women. You can't just set diversity KPIs and expect managers to respect anti-discrimination law. Incentives matter.

> completely invalidate the point you were going for

That Asians are systemically discriminated against by affirmative action? That affirmative action is wrong and racist/sexist? That Google systemically discriminates against Asians through its DEI initiatives?

> I am capable of believing that it is possible to dsciriminate against multiple groups

Correct, it is possible for women to have been discriminated against by sexist managers and for another set of managers to have discriminated against men and Asians through DEI programs. One of these things is a program promoted by Google and one is not.

> its not zero sum

So why don't you give up your job to a female person of color then? Headcount is zero sum. If you favor specific minorities, other people get less spots. That's zero sum by definition.

> these policies favor nonwhite people over white ones

That's where you've got it wrong. Affirmative action doesn't favor nonwhites over whites, it favors specific nonwhites (mainly blacks and latinos) over Asians. If you look at the stats before and after the University of California system banned affirmative action, the proportion of whites stayed about the same [1]. That's what I mean by "you aren't affected by such policies". When you implement affirmative action, it's Asians taking the hit for your moral grandstanding. As a white person, you have no right to come and lecture us minorities about "diversity" and "equity" and "inclusion" when your own policies are racist.

Last year the Economist estimated them at about 1.7 million excess mortality. There is extremely strong pressure from the top down to minimize the public death count. The credibility of the party (and Xi personally) relies on their Zero Covid policy being seen as effective. I wouldn't even call it a cover up, there are just no incentives to accurately report and many reasons to downplay aggressively.

That mindset feels reminiscent of the ever-increasing size of vehicles on the road. You avoid the smaller vehicle for fear of being run off the road (or worse) by an oversized truck and so instead of the subcompact you go with the midsize, then crossover, then SUV, ad infinitum.

Also, we’ve already been incarcerating people at an alarming rate.* It seems like there’s something more fundamental being neglected — that’s compelling Americans to use our (abundance of) weapons more readily.

Absent a feasible zero-COVID strategy, which for most countries was never in the books due to their geographical situation, lockdowns have been found to have virtually no impact on reducing the spread of COVID.

The cost to lifetime earnings is estimated to be $17 trillion:

The education losses have been worst for the poor:

Social distancing and other COVID control measures, which became mandatory with lockdowns, have been associated with a surge in childhood obesity:

97 million more people are estimated to be poverty due to the social reaction to COVID, the most drastic and disruptive of which were lockdowns:

https://blogs.worldbank.org/opendata/updated-estimates-impac...

It turns out following the lead of an authoritarian communist state on the COVID response, by totally abrogating civil liberties with community quarantines, i.e. lockdowns, wasn't a great idea.

As for voluntary social distancing, it has been found to impose more measurable costs for 89% of the population than it reduces through mitigating risks of contracting COVID.
It may not be the approach that fills us with glee, but its a historical approach.

I mean did elon ever keep his word recently?
"Many years ago," Gaspar said, taking out a copy of Moravia's The Adolescents and thumbing it as he spoke, "I had a library of books, oh, thousands of books -- never could bear to toss one out, not even the bad ones -- and when folks would come to the house to visit they'd look around at all the nooks and crannies stuffed with books; and if they were the sort of folks who don't snuggle with books, they'd always ask the same dumb question." He waited a moment for a response and when none was forthcoming (the sound of china cups on sink tile), he said, "Guess what the question was." From the kitchen, without much interest: "No idea."

"They'd always ask it with the kind of voice people use in the presence of large sculptures in museums. They'd ask me, 'Have you read all these books?'" He waited again, but Billy Kinetta was not playing the game. "Well, young fella, after a while the same dumb question gets asked a million times, you get sorta snappish about it. And it came to annoy me more than a little bit. Till I finally figured out the right answer.

"And you know what that answer was? Go ahead, take a guess." Billy appeared in the kitchenette doorway.

"I suppose you told them you'd read a lot of them but not all of them."

Gaspar waved the guess away with a flapping hand. "Now what good would that have done? They wouldn't know they'd asked a dumb question, but I didn't want to insult them, either. So when they'd ask if I'd read all those books, I'd say, 'Hell, no. Who wants a library full of books you've already read?'"

Don't you think that'd become the "B-team" pretty quickly, though? I think it might fall apart. What might also work is something more like the "pro bono" model of lawyers? Make it a marketing thing, maybe see if the big clients would want to get in on the PR benefits of helping the little clients, maybe rotate your rockstars through the smaller projects and help develop less-experienced talent that way?
I think we do know costs in this case! The author is very open about the finances of his products. And in this case, while he did start generating profits from tinypilot in 2021, those were only around 17-18k$ IIRC. So this is still a massive expense for the business I'd guess!

> That intersection is a good place for a rolling stop, where you bring the car down to perhaps 5mph before you proceed, mostly because of the sidewalks on both sides and the risk of kids running around or riding bikes.

On the arterial street that I linked, intersections like this one are placed every 150 feet. I literally never seen anyone drive the way you describe, ever. Nobody does a rolling stop every 150 feet. Very few drivers even go speed limit there, maybe 1 in 20: most people do around 30 mph, a good fraction does 35 mph. In fact, if you drive the way you describe (which I doubt, because, again, I literally never, ever seen anyone drive like that), you're more likely to get into an accident (most likely getting rear ended), due to being extremely unpredictable.

> I'm not saying I'm perfect but being careful can reduce your personal risk considerably.

This is, of course, right, but my point was not to demand perfection, I just want to point out that what you describe is extremely unrealistic, and virtually never observed in real life driving.

I'm open to that idea but not sure how it would play out. It could go wrong in a few ways.

One potential problem is that it could become "the" authority on reproducing results. If they repro something and another scientist can't, or vice versa, would the other scientist get ignored?

Another problem is that it could take away the independence of science. The government might start saying what is good science and what isn't.

The Configuration Complexity Clock: Hard Coded Values to DSLs
Academia has become big business. Over a period of 30+ years I have observed that part-time admin roles that were filled by academics are now run by full-time corporate types. Their primary mandate is to increase profits and thus inflate their own salaries.

As for successful grants, I have seen that, now, 50% of the amounts immediately goes to "overhead" and the PI needs to pay for stipends and equipment from the remaining 50%, yet there are further "transaction charges" even those activities.

The publishing, grant winning, etc are simply "KPIs" so beloved by the MBA hordes.

What I found incredible is the lack of push-back from academics against the encroaching takeover by the biznoids. Speaking of whom, they don't give a damn about research, academia is merely yet another territory to which they extend their rent seeking (for themselves) activities.
is caching the correct analogy?

the stars you see died eons ago. special relativity is your friend. we witness "immutability" casually.

nothing in the relational model that i am aware of says that a materialized view cannot be a simple immutable table of "facts". same input same output. unambiguous.

simply use the dynamic queries to summarize the "facts" in, typically, a small mat view tables and your gui will never lie.

I suppose it depends on the expertise of the the founder or CEO in question. On balance, something that takes 50% of budget absolutely should involve oversight greater than a single team or executive, but I'm not sure to what level without knowing more about the team dynamics at play.

There are plenty of engineer founder types who have all sorts of opinions on how infrastructure spend should be divvied up...they're probably on average more well informed there than they might be on the value of good consistent branding and website. On the flip side, a sales-heavy type might have strong opinions on how much engineering is spending on keeping the ship afloat, but that doesn't necessarily make them right.

Of course it's possible to be conversant within multiple modalities, so I am just talking to the average here.
