This is really more of a tool that allows researchers to take protein sequences and get pretty good predictions of what the crystallized protein will look like. It might be an aid to crystallization as well as you can look at crystallization conditions of similar proteins. However, claims that real-world data is no longer needed are certainly overblown.

Another issue is that a complete analysis of a protein's function, particularly catalytic proteins, requuires that you understand their dynamics, which are not reflected in static protein crystals. Other methods like NMR are used for that purpose.
Not a consultant but my experience mirrors yours. Among my friends, several of whom work typical corporate jobs, nobody has experienced anything beyond basic diversity training that would be tame by the standards of the 90s. The only real new thing is just respecting people's pronouns but that strikes me as basic decency and professional conduct.

Their infrastructure might very well be setup in a way that can't scale.

They don't need unlimited scaling for the entire site, just enough to scale for one particular plane.

They make money from ads and subscriptions. Any such business pays for user acquisition and a % of users convert to subscriptions.

Even if all this is spiky traffic, their site probably has now had millions of first-time users. When traffic dies down, they will settle back at a higher than previous usual levels.
I have long viewed Mike Judge[0] as the anti-Scott Adams. He works with many of the same topics but the result is far, far funnier. And he does not try to shove any particular political point of view at the expense of basic humor.

In reviewing Idiocracy, Salon stated, "Judge's gimlet eye is so ruthless that at times his politics seem to border on South Park libertarianism".[73] A writer for the libertarian magazine Reason seems to agree, comparing King of the Hill to the anti-authoritarian point of view of South Park and The Simpsons, though he calls the show more populist, noting the disdain King of the Hill seems to have for bureaucrats, professionals, and big-box chains.[74]

Still, Judge denies having political messages in his shows, saying in an IGN interview about King of the Hill:[72]

"I try to not let the show get too political. To me, it's more social than political I guess you'd say, because that's funnier. I don't really like political reference humor that much. Although I liked the episode "Hank's Bully" where Hank's talking to the mailman and he says, 'Why would anyone want to lick a stamp that has Bill Clinton on it?' To me that's just like more of a character thing about Hank than it is a political joke or anything. I don't want to do a bunch of stuff about the war, particularly." [Wikipedia]

Your role is not to prevent that from happening. Your role is to do your job and set an example, which the younglings will remember years down the road. Those are two different things.
Allegedly Turkey has a lot of fraud.

Many years back, a guy who worked where I worked at the time (we'll say, Company A) left and formed a competing company (Company B). It was OK, nobody really considered it real competition. He was a colorful individual, and so his official company blog contained a lot of screeds about personal gripes. This gentleman was Turkish, which becomes important in a second.

One such a saga came when a Turkish company (Company C) tried to buy their product. They refused to process the transaction, and a company representative literally over email told them to go F themselves, saying it's company policy to not do business with Turkey or Turkish people (again, the founder being Turkish) because of the huge amounts of fraud from that country. The spurned customer posted their version of events on their company blog too.

It was a great time to work at Company A. This saga was our Friday cafeteria chatter.
I'm assuming it was a Bronco or a Mach-e? Both of those seem to be in high demand right now and the prices are going nuts. I have so much respect for the dealers who are NOT selling above MSRP. They could be making a lot of extra money right now and they're choosing the right thing over more profit.

That does not work for Oracle because they are not on these forums to the extent of say Stripe or FAANG engineers.
Funny, I reported something similar on the rsync mailing list a couple of months ago: https://www.mail-archive.com/rsync@lists.samba.org/msg33452....

Good to see that it will be fixed. Still, rsync is not the right tool for the job if you do not trust the server.
I use this (sometimes) and it's consistently given me good results, and it feels great to use everything up. Each meal plan typically contains three meals and has ingredient quantities for two or four people. As I live on my own, it's pretty easy to either prep and do the 'final' bits of cooking over two days, or for some recipes just freeze the second portion. Recommended.
Most Fortune 500 software jobs are poorly compensated line-of-business app building. Decent work for a certain sort (not speaking of intellect or ability, but personality and similar other factors), but hardly challenging or technically sophisticated for the most part
> How can you equate these two? Couldn't strong labor numbers also be indicative of an economy in turmoil, forcing many people who no longer had to work back into a job to get by?

Because the other side of that is that there exists sufficient and growing demand for labor to accept the people wanting to sell their labor.
I think if you're making a list of big tech companies that will sometimes randomly shut-out customers due to automated monitoring, then that's all of them isn't it? I've seen a story about every one of them I'm sure. It's not a problem with individual companies, it's a general societal problem.
Yeah, it resulted in gay people becoming more interested in me than i liked.
> are the real problem

This sounds a lot like whataboutism or "Fallacy of relative privation":

dismissing an argument or complaint due to what are perceived to be more important problems.

Also, Your characterisation of diversity statements as changing nothing could itself be a problem if there divert from meaningful change; It seems like DEI is very well funded compared to the other issues you raise, if they are funded at all (where are the anti-visa-slavery corporate initiatives?).

> Never mind that diversity is profitable

That's another conversation altogether, but one corrupted by the fact that any other conclusion would be considered heresy e.g. rather than argue that it's true, you assume it's true and imply anyone who disagree is stupid..
Welcome to HN, where crypto is the devil and must be eradicated at all costs. Anyone who thinks otherwise here is either perceived to be an idiot or a grifter.
Non Sequitur.

You can do both logically.

You are a horrible convincer.
I want to call out your sources. City Journal is a propaganda outlet (George Soros conspiracy takes should not lead your top stories if you want credibility), The Washington Examiner is also openly biased and prints bullshit, and the story you mentioned has two unproven, unattributed, anecdotes. Newsweek... is Newsweek. The WSJ opinion section is a bad place to look for unbiased facts, as would be the NYT opinion section. Opinion sections aren't reporting, they are explicitly trying to prove something.

Dilbert became famous for holding a mirror to corporate culture, and ringing true. Now it is holding a mirror to how the right perceives culture to be. My complaint is that it is 1. Overly concentrating on issues that aren't issues for a large part of the population (I don't list my pronouns, but I don't care a single bit if someone else does, and I will respect their preferences in the same way I will respect that Margaret goes by Lisa since she doesn't like the name she was given).

2. Highlighting issues that just aren't real, i.e. diversity hiring (I have done plenty of hiring at multiple companies in multiple countries, we actively try to get expand the diversity of our APPLICANT pool. Evaluation and job offers are done on the merits. Never seen a diversity quota) What I haven't seen is people being passed over for not being diverse enough on a first hand basis. The people that claim it happened to them, are generally better at complaining than they are at their job.

To put it simply, people think Dilbert has gone off the rails, because they don't recognize the situations being represented as anything close to realistic.
This helps, eventually, but enter with the understanding that many - depending on the product and how problematic it is for them, most - calls will start with the customer coming in feeling negative. They're blocked or confused, which can make them frustrated, angry, and anxious. If you can start from a point of listening closely from empathetic and sympathetic viewpoints, you can put even more weight behind it.

To help make that "let me help you do good things with our product" moment work, you can first or also feel out how they feel while you gather the details you need to move forward.

If there's justified anger - if it's clearly something that's broken from the jump, or even a known issue, and it probably shouldn't have shipped broken - you can empathize honestly because we've all interacted with something like this. Sometimes the biggest thing someone on the other end of the call needs is for someone to officially acknowledge that yeah, this sucks.

If there's anger that's not yet justified - something that might be a bug, but might also be user error - make it clear that you're here to help the company fix the problem. If it's user oversight, it's not necessarily the user's problem; the docs could be improved (even if nobody reads them), the UI could be clearer (even if nobody notices the change). People want to know that their problem will result in action, for them, which makes them feel not only value but invested in the product. (This doesn't work as well when there's a new problem every week - in which case, they know they're a tester, and someone should reach out with a discount or be ready to churn them.)

If there's outright panic - if the product is blocking them so critically that their job or a large project is in danger - get the wheels turning on escalation ASAP and make it clear that you're reaching out for help. Nobody wants to be on the phone/in chat/in an email thread with something big on the line and on your end, nobody's taking it as seriously. Even if the end result is user error, or an easy fix, even just hinting that other people are working on it will help. And even if you can only get another person on your side who can't do anything but keep the customer talking while you investigate the issue, it'll prevent long gaps on hold where you might be working your ass off but the customer thinks you're shuffling them off hoping they go away. (If every issue is a panic, they either have a MASSIVE organizational problem on their end that they genuinely need to address to stay a customer, or they're abusing escalations to have you do their job for them. Either way, track escalations closely and sync with others in your company on them as often as you can.)

If you can gauge these things early in the interaction and get the customer closer to being alongside you fixing the problem, then when you tell them "I'm going to work with you until the root cause is identified and fixed for you and everybody else", they're not going to try to see through it as customer service speak.
Fifty-one. Ha. I am 62, with salt and pepper hair that just crossed about the 50-50 line, and beard that's about 75% gray.

My current job started in September 2001, and because of the grounded airspace that month I was offered remote status, and there I remain after 21 years. One good thing about the company is we rarely use cameras on calls. We did try it briefly at the start of COVID lockdown did we try, but everyone found it distracting. (I was shocked how young my manager looked, and he probably felt the same way in revers). But teleconferencing among dispersed and remote staff has been a thing here for decades (could say we invented it, actually), so voice-only calls with screen sharing fortunately are the norm.

One thing I noticed in hearing myself on recorded calls is though I may look like I'm in my 7th decade, I don't sound it. In fact I'm the guy constantly pressuring younger people in my team to stop using tools that are out of date or no longer available, to adopt current practices (trade fragile 20 year old Excel macros for Postgres, trade CMD scripts for Powershell, move apps to the cloud, etc.).

That's key: people forget your age if you bring sharp chops to the table and stay current with the tech stack. It helps to use an ID picture that looks younger, something that's been easier now that we take our own badge pictures rather than go to a corporate DMV-style photo booth.

Some of the people I work with peripherally, I suspect, would be shocked to meet me in person (and that includes some in my chain of managers). I have no illusion or desires around climbing that chain, I just want to be paid a competitive salary to develop solutions. I try not to date myself in conversation unless I feel safe confirming my sexagenarian status (that's an age range, people).

Like the OP, I look forward to doing this until I'm ready to stop (or forced to by real aging issues), not because my birth date in an HR database.
Is there any mention of the various tik-tok-induced mental diseases going around? Children twitching uncontrollably and such.

TikTok is definitely using some high-powered technology to mindfuck their customers/victims. I think that's bad for the health of our society.

Heck, advertising is toxic enough.
What I particularly like about how the Minix book is written (at least the 2nd edition copy I have) is how he goes over various sophisticated options for disc reading, scheduling, resource locks, and then says 'now, are you really going to need this for an OS running on a PC? No.' He then implements a solution which is only as complex as needed. It's refreshing going to it from other textbooks like say, the Dragon Book, which seem to pull the reader towards the path of greater complexity.
Any theories on the protracted flightpath? Was the proximity to bases in Okinawa a factor?
Slipping an exploit into an npm package doesn't let you easily run away with tens/hundreds of millions of dollars in the same way web3 projects do.

That said, I personally doubt this happens much if at all, because if you want to scam on web3 you can just do a good old-fashioned pump&dump and nobody seems to be receiving any legal/criminal consequences as of yet.
Two gas stations on either side of the intersection with prices within a penny of each other. Always.
If you think these free tiers of offerings are not making money because you don't pay them, then you are confused on who the company's customers really are. The free service you are using is the bait to get you the product to offer yourself to their customers without being the wiser. It's as shady as shady can be, but hey, it's free!!!
This is terrible obviously, but if code is law and someone writes bad code and exploits that is it “illegal”?

The entire basis of even having judges, courts, etc is an acknowledgment that the “code” is imperfect and certain circumstances require human intervention.

Going without that is, well… YMMV.
Show HN: Simplenote – Notes with support for publishing (hosted, Markdown)
I use Simplenote for journaling and creating itineraries for my wife and I (publish as a webpage and send link). It's great. Robust export options too. I used to use Obsidian + iCloud sync daemon to facilitate continuity between my Windows desktop and my Macbook, but I started getting sync issues on Windows and a couple BSODs due to how the iCloud daemon handles timestamps. I picked up Simplenote and it's been working flawlessly. Very underrated IMO.
Check out Jeremy Fielding on YouTube, you'll be subjected to his in-video advertisements for children's toys, but your comment about profesionalism and everyman approach made me think of Jeremy.

I disagree. I have a good friend who is conservative about application of government (a 'fiscal conservative'), and very socially progressive. She is a registered Republican, and considers herself a "conservative".

While she is actively dedicated to social progress, (supports gay marriage, believes in the right to abortion, etc.), she feels we will be most successful at achieving this goal with leadership who prioritize fiscal conservativism.

I suspect that many Republicans are in this camp.
Knew what that link was without clicking.
That’s funny, I believe I experienced ageism but on the other end of the age spectrum. I couldn’t figure out why I was making it so far in interviews but not getting the job. This happened for months. Then one day I decided to grow out my beard to look older. I’m 25. With my beard I rarely get carded, without it I always get carded. Same story as you, the first round of interviews came and my beard saved the day. Now once I reach a year 6 months at this company I’ll shave it ;)
Was sole customer support person for a 2-person startup for a few years with ~50k users. Here are a few things that helped me.

- Remember that getting honest feedback about your software is one of the hardest things to do. People complaining is feedback. Use that and seek it out!

- Put yourself in their shoes, realize they’re just trying to get something done and they’re frustrated with some feature they expect to have or expect to work a certain way. Sometimes a feature I felt was a differentiator compared to my competition turned out to actually just confuse people and wasn’t the great innovation I thought it was, for the simple reason that I did something differently than how everyone else did it. User complaints can help me understand why my assumptions are wrong. User complaints also help my understand where my documentation is missing or sub-par. Always listen to complaints through the lens of ‘Somehow I led this person here, but they’re upset, so what could I do better for the next person?’

- Always ask them questions! Get as much information as you can out of a user that is engaging with you. Keep the conversation going and get them to tell you their feelings on the rest of your software, not just the broken part. Get them to explain their workflow to you. I was frequently surprised and learned a lot from learning what people were trying to do and how. Ask them about other software they used before they found yours, and why they switched.

- When people are being a little bit mean about the software, respond quickly and kill them with kindness. A huge number of new users to my software seemed to assume they were talking to a bot or emailing the great void. They would be surprised and a little embarrassed when a human responded with de-escalating language to an angry rant. Let them know you’re interested in hearing what they have to say, and you’re interested in fixing the issue they’re having. Give them a reasonable and realistic time frame for when you can fix the problem. (But resist the urge to promise too soon; be diligent about prioritizing accurately and protecting your own time & sanity.)

- Delete and ignore comment by non-paying users who send nasty comments. Ignore most of what free users say anyway. For some reason people who don’t pay have higher and less realistic expectations than paying users. They aren’t invested and they generally seem to be less nice. By all means engage people if they’ll give you useful information, but set the bar high for engaging if they aren’t giving you either money or helpful feedback. Remember that their behavior reflects on them and not you.

yes makes perfect sense everything you just said..so I suppose this is one reason why clojure doesn't have one library/framework to rule them all, Rich saying he gave us a tool to do what we want/need, and clojurists do just that! Do what makes best sense in your situation etc

Real wages are not increasing. The ‘Real’ part of real wages means after adjustment for inflation. See link, we’ve been going straight down in real wages. We are already back below pre-COVID wages. That means we are back to wage levels around 3 years ago. In any job if you got no raise in 3 years then you should not look at that as a good thing - and that’s what has happened to everyone, on average after accounting for inflation. https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/LES1252881600Q

Because it's free and provides some what of a convenience. It doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.
If we regulated that then we'd have to regulate marketing, advertising, propaganda.

And nobody wants that./s
Calling these concerns “conservative” is a brilliant tactical play by progressives to use Trump-era polarization as a weapon against moderate liberals. Because nobody left of center wants to be associated with Trump, moderates will fold in the face of such criticism instead of push back.
It's the first mover's advantage. When someone reports you everyone becomes suspicious and if you try to use the same tactics you get scoffed at and ignored.
