OK, now we have the citation.

Note that in this case they are allegedly "former KKK". But, whether they are KKK or not, it is not the criteria to evaluate how good any of their proposed policies are (or the quality of art, music, mathematics, books, etc); they should be evaluated by themself instead.

They say, "My bill only says that in cases when you hire or promote someone, you have to do so on the basis of their ability." It seems good to me, but there are other considerations that must be made, including all of the extra details that the bill might say. Sometimes they try to hide things, but even non-hidden things must be considered properly. For example, how do they intend to enforce it? Even, should it be enforced, anyways? (Maybe, or maybe not.) Some methods of trying to enforce it are not going to be good, regardless of what your intention is, I think. But, enforcement is not only issue, there are other things, too. The statement seems to be simple, but such things are rarely that simple. Note that they mention promotion as well as hiring. If you promote someone they should be competent for the job they are being promoted to, rather than for their current job.

This is where we balance it out with unions. Unions have historically gotten us everything today that most people think is just SOP.

Limited work weeks (40 hrs). Monday thru Friday as business days. Paid vacations. Family and medical leave. Breaks. Paid holidays. Sick leave.

It’s a shame there’s been a massive push from corporations pushing anti-union propaganda. We have been complacent.

We need unions to make our voice heard. Both in the mega corps and local/state/federal governments.
We honestly aren't treated better, and as you point out, are usually the first out the door. This has been my experience as a marketer over the last 16+ years. So, so many of my compatriots let go in these lean times (and often not backfilled), leaving those left behind to do 2-3X more work and get the ol "you're lucky to have a job!" speech. I've been laid off twice in my career, despite being considered a high-performer, once mid-way through Covid, and am staring down the barrel of another looming layoff. Honestly, being a marketer sucks but I don't know what else to do at this point.
Doctors are very vulnerable. Most of dermatology is simple pattern recognition. I can easily see AI lawyers beating human lawyers in litigation, too. An AI lawyer will have read every single case and know the outcomes, and can fine tune arguments for specific parameters like which judge etc.
I too developed a rare health issue, OABSS.

"In our study, OABSS (overactive bladder symptom score) significantly increased with the combined use of ketamine and marijuana (P = 0.016). Cannabinoids are the active components of marijuana, and select cannabinoid receptors, CB1 and CB2, have been identified in the human detrusor and urothelium."

Ask HN: How can one ever prove if code was copied and not written from scratch?
I don't mean to discourage personal exploration in any way, but when doing this sort of thing it can also be illuminating to consider the null hypothesis... what happens if you let the conventional software use a similarly enlarged RAM budget or fast storage?

SQLite or PostgreSQL can be given some configuration/hints to be more aggressive about using RAM while still having their built-in capability to spill to storage rather than hit a hard limit. Or on Linux (at least), just allowing the OS page cache to sprawl over a large RAM system may make the IO so fast that the database doesn't need to worry about special RAM usage. For PostgreSQL, this can just be hints to the optimizer to adjust the cost model and consider random access to be cheaper when comparing possible query plans.

Once you do some sanity check benchmarks of different systems like that, you might find different bottlenecks than expected, and this might highlight new performance optimization quests you hadn't even considered before. :-)
This is brilliant, as a deaf person this would be huge.

Actually, for those who push for these cloudy solutions, they do that in part to make data close to you. I am talking mostly about CDNs, I don't thing YouTube and Netflix would have been possible without them.

Google is a US company, but you don't want people in Australia to connect to the other side of the globe every time they need to access Google services, it would be an awful waste of intercontinental bandwidth. Instead, Google has data centers in Australia to serve people in Australia, and they only hit US servers when absolutely needed. And that's when you need to abstract things out. If something becomes relevant in Australia, move it in there, and move it out when it no longer matters. When something big happens, copy it everywhere, and replace the copies by something else as interest wanes.

Big companies need to split everything, they can't centralize because the world isn't centralized. The problem is when small businesses try to do the same because "if Google is so successful doing that, it must be right". Scale matters.

Yes and? What do you want to say?
agreed - had $50K in investments (I admit, it’s small fish). Transferred that to another brokerage following the GME sell button fiasco. Although in retrospect, I probably should have switched sooner than that
Exactly, there should be a multi-year lockout period where the CEOs cannot sell their stock. If the potential hires don't like it, well, cry me a river. Plenty of people would still take the job, especially if they are interested in building a long-term company.
No. Your users have no idea that you rely on AWS (they don't even know what it is), and they don't think of it as a valid or reasonable excuse as to why your service is down.

They both tended to use locals to do their dirty work. For example in Chechnya they didn’t use many “Slavic” Russians but mostly Allies from Chechnya or ex-republics of the CCCP. The nazis also recruited locals.
> ... took an irreversible reputation hit among its core user base because of the GME fiasco

God I'm so sick of hearing this. It comes from people who seriously don't know what happened.

let me explain: RH had (and still has) a service that you can trade immediately on signing up and sending funds rather than waiting for them to clear. This mostly works out fine because people buy different things and you have the underlying assets as security so it tends to work out, meaning it's not a risk of a huge loss. Put another way: the convenience of RH lending you money (because that's actually what's happening) is counterbalanced by the additional business they get.

When GME popped off, they got a ton of sign ups to buy GME. This wasn't people using their own money to buy GME. This was RH lending you money to buy GME. And suddenly it didn't balance out. RH actually had a huge long GME position effectively. They actually borrowed a billion dollars to cover that and that was insufficient. So they stopped lending money to buy GME to avoid insolvency.

Remember too that they are lending you money on the promise you would fund the account. If people bought GME at $100 and it dropped to $30, RH would be left holding the bag as a significant percentage of people would simply avoid the loss by not funding their accounts. RH may have recourse to pursue that in court but that's going to get expensive and is a losing option all around.

That's literally all it was.

Some people were so delusional about what was going to happen with GME. They thought that since the open short interest exceeded the stock actively traded, the shares were going to go to infinity or something like that. That was never going to happen.

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/mealime-meal-plans-recipes/id1...

Mealime. I can’t recommend it highly enough. I originally bought it because I liked the planned meals that have a nice overlap of ingredients, so you end up with a surprisingly small shopping list for a range of different meals

But also, the recipes are all a nice medium complexity: 99.9% of ingredients are easily available from any supermarket, even discounters

They clearly have a small number of chefs, so the recipes overlap in ways that really let you improve your skills. I went from so so in the kitchen, to decently skilled

It also lets you build plans based around what’s left in your pantry

Fantastic app. Take my money
That's brutal. We just laid off a couple hundred people last week, only five from our department (which is 190 people) but two of them were from one of my teams. Demoralizing, and in the case of that team, absolutely devastating to productivity in the short term.

Cutting almost 1 in 4 employees is beyond anything I can imagine. I think I'd feel like I was rearranging deck chairs if I survived the cut and stuck around. I'd be putting out my resume right now.
>>necessary condition for addiction.
Necessary, but not sufficient

You might also note that the GP said nothing about frequency of use, only "long time psych user", AND that no one here has defined "high frequency" in terms of an actual threshold for addiction.

The fact is that for all drugs, and especially for the psychedelics, there are far many more people who use occasionally and responsibly than the subset who are addicted. AFAIK, the psychedelics are not considered addictive at all, either physically/physiologically or mentally.

All these people had salaries in excess of $180k I presume + stock compensation. Sorry, but they do not fall in the category of people that were exploited.

I firmly believe in at will employment.

In this case, the CEO exploited the investors, whether it is VC firms, institutional or private investors by making an error in the judgement of hiring needs. Of course there is a risk in investment, but when CEO's make major mistakes while paying themselves $800M in compensation; investors should seek relief.
Shoot I can't remember where I read that offhand. I did find this paper:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6449537/

In figure 1, untreated tap water ranked higher than bottled water in plastic particle count per unit volume. They conclude that standardization of micro plastic analysis and more studies are needed.

It's said that we should never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity, but, the plastics lobby has so much power that suggesting they had nothing to do with our ignorance of this issue is.. laughable at best.
That adjustments cause massive negative impacts is just an unfortunate side effect, right?

Robinhood's executive compensation clawback policy just FYI:

In March 2021, our board of directors adopted a clawback policy effective upon the closing of this offering. Under our clawback policy, our board of directors may recover incentive compensation from an executive officer in the event of (i) a restatement of our financial statements or a material error in the calculation of one or more performance-based measures used to determine the amount of such compensation or (ii) the executive officer’s “detrimental conduct” (as defined in our clawback policy) that results in an excess performance payout, results in legal proceedings or causes us material financial or reputational harm

As someone not in the software field who finds themself with people imparting wisdom frequently. I find that personally many times it's better to learn by trying even if someone who knows better than you says otherwise.

As for those of you who don't feel heard in work or life let me just say that that's no excuse not to try. Especially if it's of great importance. Even if you have to stick your neck out under a guillotine in order to say it. I imagine if that guy at NASA who discovered the fatal flaw in Challenger didn't stop at telling the NASA heads but maybe the news, the astronauts and even their families it could have been prevented.
IPMI is nice, although the older you go, the more particular it gets. I had professional experience with the SuperMicro Xeon e5-2600 series v1-4, and recently started renting a previous generation server[1] and it's worse than the ones I used before. It's still servicable though; but I'm not sure it it's using a dedicated LAN, because the kvm and the sol drop out when the OS starts or ends; it'll come back, but you miss early boot messages.

It's definitely worth the effort to script starting the KVM, and maybe even the sol. If you've got a bunch of servers, you should script the power management as well, if nothing else, you want to rate limit power commands across your fleet to prevent accidental mass restarts. Intentional mass restarts can probably happen through the OS, so 1 power command per second across your fleet is probably fine. (You can always hack out the rate limit if you're really sure).

>Also, studies seem to find that money doesn't motivate people to perform at a higher level.

What that really means is that if you're paying $200k now, bumping to $250k isn't going to make your workers more productive. However, if you're paying $200k now and you cut the pay to $180k, and your competitors are offering $230k, your best performers are still going to jump ship.

You'd have to break behaviour for all experienced sysadmins then. I don't see why these users are "legacy", when terminals exist exactly for this kind of purpose. Personally I use Ctrl-C for SIGINT far more than I use Ctrl-Shift-C for copy. So why would I want it the other way round?

And what about Ctrl-Z, Ctrl-D and Ctrl-A, all of which I use regularly? Are you going to require these to have Shift added too? What about all the other control codes? Or are you going to be inconsistent and have special behaviour just for C, X and V?

Whichever way, you'd end up with a configuration setting for your claimed "legacy" behaviour. Then there will be two ways to do things, and that'll be confusing whenever someone has to use someone else's terminal, or give someone instructions to help them.

The Songbun caste system is the weakness that renders the North Korean society inherently unstable. The most able members of the society are discriminated against the most. And the more powerful and resource consuming "Core" members are not selected on the basis of merit. I think that there is historical precedent for the political principle that Aristocracy will eventually be replaced by meritocracy, but there may be revolutionary instability first.
The impact doesn’t matter, the magnitude of the mistake does.

* If I take all reasonable precautions and bad thing still happens — not a fuckup.

* If try my best but make an honest mistake like being forgetful — minor fuckup.

* If I try my best but don’t know something crucial — minor fuckup. If I am paid to be an expert on that thing — major fuckup.

* If I deliberately choose to forego necessary precautions because that’s effort it’ll be fine — major fuckup or legal trouble depending on the field.

* If I purposely cause bad thing to happen — legal trouble.

* If I choose to take a calculated risk in good faith after getting the advice of my board and my advisors and bad thing happens — not even a fuckup.

How bad the bad thing is doesn’t matter except at the margins “no harm done” or actual injury. Downsizing a company does not meet that bar.

Being in a leadership position shouldn’t be a job of calling coins in the air and betting your job you get it right.

> This is much more complex, because you are asking the application to setup some sort of workflow - after it understands what you want it to do, it then has to work out how to execute that, which will be utilising the device API's / services.

> Imagine if the real world operated that way.

The real world does operate in exactly that way, with a scant few exceptions. It's often even less scrutable than what I described.

> The police arrest you and throw you in jail for unspecified reasons and you're not allowed to know why or defend yourself.

Since you're saying this, it doesn't sound like you've had a lot of confrontations with police. (And if you ever do, I'd strongly advise against trying to 'defend yourself' from them.)

The police can and absolutely do arrest, intimidate, harass, and violently assault people for unspecified, fabricated or utterly bullshit reasons, and then release them (because they can't justify those reasons in a court of law, but they have an incredibly broad, completely unaccountable amount of inscrutable discretion that they can use to make your life a living hell.)

A store can absolutely throw a nuisance customer out, and ban them from returning, without specifying exactly how much of a nuisance they permit that customer to be.

Hell, even in a court of law, one of the most deterministic billiard-ball-newtonian-world aspect of our life, the ultimate decision of life or death, freedom or innocence is decided by an opaque group of 12 neural networks, each full of their own biases, prejudices, and each heavily influenceable by courtroom demagoguery. Who don't - and aren't required to - explain their decisions.

There's very few, very narrowly defined set of spaces in our society where the rules are clearly, fully spelled out, with little to no room for arbitrary interpretation, and where decisions can be scrutinized. They are an incredibly narrow exception, not the rule, and they tend to be more present in situations where the consequences of a mistake are more serious. (Questions of housing, credit, money, life and death.)

Unfortunately, access to a rented VM doesn't quite rise to that level of seriousness. It does, however, tend to offend programmers, who are both over-represented here, and often mistakenly think that the world is a fair newtonian-billiard-table. In reality, it's neither fair, nor deterministic.

Mate, ultimately the point is that if you sell $55 m of your stock in a company you're not taking money out of the company. That stuff ceased to be owned by the company when those shares (or derivatives that control them) were granted (way before this point).
> The massive cash shortfall the company is experiencing today has nothing to do with those $55M that are no longer in the company's coffers.

Do you not understand how stock sales work?

The $55M didn't come from company coffers. It came from pension funds, hedge funds, and retail investors on the other side of the sale.
Would you say the same about Travis Kalanick or Adam Neumann?
The fact that other brokerages could handle the counterparty risk with stronger financials than Robinhood (eg: by continuing to permit securities purchases) does highlight reputational risk in that you're clearly running an inferior brokerage compared to the competition. Ordinary market conditions wouldn't add visibility to this fact, but unfortunately there was always the risk and the situation had occurred.
