I recognize that racism is a major issue in tech, it's structurally dominated by white men - and while that is slowly changing people (especially larger companies where significant racial biases in the employee database are much stronger indications of employment bias than in smaller companies[1]), but no even in that environment you can't say we will hire/fire with the specific intent of getting a specific racial mix. Whether that mix be the good old white supremacist one, or an intentionally equal one. Firing would seem to not be something where you could reasonably do any form of intentional equalisation w/o it being pretty overt, and illegal, racial bias.

The way to correct the racial balance in a company (again one large enough for statistics of employee vs national or regional racial make up to be relevant), is to first address your hiring practices and college or university outreach. Because the reality is people are still more likely to get to the interview stage via nepotism: one of your employees gets a hiring or intern suggestion from their old PI, your employees go back to the school they went to for career fair/outreach programs. Historically for example tech companies did very little outreach at any of the HBCUs or community colleges, which for historical (often racist) reasons are where the major you get a much more representative of society group of people. Aside from anything else that not only means talented people from those schools are less likely to get the experience from, say, interning, but also it means you're missing out on the talent that didn't get lucky enough in where they were born or who their parents were.

What I'm trying to say is that I do not believe you can in any way fire your way to a less racist company, but you can do a lot to fix it by making sure your hiring process isn't automatically removing swathes of the population due not to explicit racism but simply habit and the path of least resistance. You shouldn't be in a position where you are saying yes or no about a person simply because of their race, and saying yes or no simply because of the school they went to is at a gross statistical level fairly equivalent to doing just that.

I think there is a difference in technical concepts that you are mixing up. What you are talking about is convection cooling. Both compressor based systems and peltier coolers need to transfer the removed heat to the environment. This is usually done with big surface areas and potentially fans to produce airflow.

In a traditional compressor based system this huge surface area is the radiator in the back and technically it also only "moves the heat" to the surface of that radiator. But give the size of that radiator it will be effective at transfering that heat to the surrounding air.

A peltier cooler with a smaller surface area needs a heat sink and or some form of active cooling (airflow, water etc).
Gay marriage and eligibility for office aren't remotely comparable. There is nothing in the US Constitution that explicitly denies marriage to any class of people, therefore the 14th amendment can claim to be applicable, whereas the Constitution specifically sets 35 as the minimum age to be appointed as president, and this has never been repealed. Nor is there any chance that the so-called originalists who make up our current Supreme Court would reject an explicit limitation in the Constitution for an uncertain interpretation of the language in the 14th amendment.

On top of which, the position that the 14th amendment prohibits discrimination is not accurate. (Even the ADEA itself only prohibits age discrimination against individuals 40 and older.) The 14th amendment merely requires that the government have a good reason to discriminate. See McGowan v. Maryland, 366 U.S. 420 (1961) for starters, wherein it was stated that, "The Fourteenth Amendment permits the States a wide scope for discretion in enacting laws which affect some groups of citizens differently than others. The Constitutional safeguard is offended only if the classification rests on grounds wholly irrelevant to the achievement of the State's objective. State legislatures are presumed to have acted within their constitutional power despite the fact that, in practice, their laws result in some inequality." In particular, age related laws generally fall under the "rational basis" standard. Meaning, that the scrutiny of such laws is not as strict as gender and religion related discrimination, but just entails some "rational basis" by the state for the law to pass constitutional muster.

One can see this looking by at various policies set by the Federal government. People under 62 may not apply for Social Security Retirement. People over 26 are not covered under the their parents' policies in the Affordable Care Act. Children under 5 can ride WMATA for free in DC.

Yes, we should also largely stop doing that (or at least frantically reduce how much land is dedicated to that purpose).

Even if it is, that’s not sufficient to inform car owners to move their vehicles. Where I live, all public parking (whether you have a parking permit or park in spots which don’t require one) has a 72 hour limit. If you put up temporary No Parking signs with less than 72 hours notice, you’re guaranteeing many people will have their cars towed inappropriately.

> It seems to me that you thereby answer your first question with "no", as it seems that for you, by the last sentence, consciousness is a metaphysical property...

That is absolutely not what I said. From my first post in this conversation I said "we've never settled on a definition of consciousness". In my preceding post, in describing a hypothetical, I said "people would still be divided as to whether it was actually conscious or not, _because the basic properties of consciousness are not settled_."

"People will disagree about X" does not in anyway amount to "I believe that X is a metaphysical property."

The absence of a clear definition means that people will continue to disagree regardless of the evidence about whichever physical system that you examine, because they're bringing different conceptions of consciousness to the table. If you know in advance that no evidence will be able to answer the question as currently framed, there's no need to wait for it; we must refine the question first.

Yeah, I see your point. I've been assuming that local-first doesn't mean local-only. Even if it's just you, you could easily be polling something else to get data updates, as you suggest. (One original use case was a personal GitHub dashboard app that polled for new activity but provided local analytics).

A couple of great essays I've enjoyed in this space are https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first & https://riffle.systems/essays/prelude/

I feel it should be possible to build certain types of apps that can view, query, and manipulate denormalized data without even being online. (Perhaps I shouldn't over-glamorize those days when one used to jam Access databases into Windows apps, but hopefully you get the point.) Reactivity just serves as a nice binding paradigm.
vis-network is a great library. We actually started with it because we liked the API, the styling capabilities, easy to use event handlers. But we experienced performance issues when we wanted to simulate and render larger graphs because it was done in the main thread, the whole UI was blocked by it. We tried to fix it in vis, but simulation was using DOM so it was super hard to split simulation and renderer.

Actually that was the main reason (along with the note that main authors are not contributing to visjs any more [1]) for a creation of the Orb where we fixed the blocking UI issue with graph simulation. Orb engine has two parts now:

* Simulator that doesn't depend on the DOM so we can move its heavy calculation to the web worker - we use d3-force for it [2]

* Renderer is pretty much influenced by vis-network, using similar style mechanism and canvas drawing capabilities (we credited vis-network in our code for those sections)

This is the first time it's occurred to me that any "market-expert" who is widely listened too has an inherent conflict of interest. By misleading the public they can increase their own gains.
It's hard to separate the heat generated by the equipment from the heat transferred from the conditioned space to the unconditioned space when talking about the heat produced. So I'm guessing, they're effectively saying the peltier system uses more energy while transferring less heat. It makes sense for some applications where noise and vibration are important or required capacity is low or compressors are otherwise unsuitable, but compression based refrigeration is usually the default.

It’s not a Google project. And you don’t have to guess what it’s about - there have been public meetings about it for years, and there’s a public spec. (Both at IETF for the network parts, and at W3C for the javascript APIs).

The objective is to make a websockets equivalent for HTTP/3 which can take advantage of h3’s features. The headline features are UDP support and proper multiplexing with other parallel requests.

It’s like websocket but it works over h3 and optionally unreliable. And it’s faster.

And it’s sort of like webrtc data channels but it’s much more “webby” - it’s server-client not p2p. It works over http, and it’s not a huge inconsistent mess.

I have been through the wringer in the mental health system, and only 3 years ago did I discover the true genesis of my condition.

My parents began shuffling me into therapists when I was about 8 years old. It wasn't really effective because we were all resistant to it: admitting problems, wanting to change, sticking to a course of treatment. So it continued and I was put on SSRIs when I was 21. I loathed that development. I was further hospitalized and put on mood stabilizers a few years later. Needless to say, that was even more detrimental: I still didn't know why I was like this.

Receiving a diagnosis of bipolar disorder was weird; they explained the chemical imbalance fairy tale and the way drugs would help, and they explained how many famous people throughout history had also suffered from this scourge, so I suppose I was supposed to feel like I was in good company. But it was unsatisfying, because if I had a mere mood disorder, why was my life so profoundly messed up? Just because I had a few bouts of sleepless nights?

Fast forward to 3 years ago and I had a series of revelations which indicated significant and enduring childhood trauma and abuse. I landed on a diagnosis which isn't in the DSM and can't be medicated. That has been satisfying, because now I was equipped to both reject the drugs and work on the issues at the root of my profound anguish.

"Bipolar disorder" is a silly catch-all description. It's a collection of behaviors and "symptoms" that can't be clinically tested, it's just a label to slap onto people so that they can be drugged and checkboxes can be ticked in a treatment plan by providers and your insurance (if any).

If they're telling you that you're "bipolar" and they're trying to drug you and you're unsatisfied with that prognosis, then good! I encourage you to dig deeper and explore the root causes. You'll need to trust and commit to good therapists.

For me, my faith in Jesus Christ as savior has made all the difference, and that's actually a gift which my adoptive parents gave me alongside everything else, so thank God for that!

But just because of the bigger surface area of the radiator. A conventional compressor with the same surface area of its radiator as the peltier system will perform the same (provided they are at the same temperature).

This is why heatsinks on CPUs have fins: to increase the surface area where the heatsink is in contact with the (hopefully cooler) surrounding air. The windings of a radiator are very much the same idea.
No. You can't really adjust your microscope hardware to get a larger depth of field, but field of view is straightforward. You want FOV because most things you are going to look at are relatively thin planes. If you want more DoF you should do photo stacking. Even for FOV, I do multiple field acquisition and then stitch because even my low-mag microscope only covers a 1mm circle.
The data is in memory, and the persistence strategy is kind of up to you. So it would scale reasonably if you put the sync/persist on a different schedule to the UI - perhaps when the browser is idle.

BUT of course, this is not a library to be used with data sets of billions of rows! I'd recommend a proper RDBMS for that ;)
Yeah, I've postulated this for a while now too. It seems that people that NEED to be with other people have a big hole in their soul. Listening to the facebook founder on Joe Rogan reminded me of this, with his bogus stories about all his friends, and how he does all this stuff with all his friends. No one with real friends talks like that. He sounded like a cult leader, or like a robot or something. It was extremely evident when he was saying things like, "Me and my friends just love to go out and wrestle around on the mats." referring to BJJ. It was so awkward. They are the ones that try to alone shame others as well. Jerks.
In my city at least the weekly street cleaning requires you to move your car weekly. So signs posted a week ahead are typically not as bad. Though the police did once us my apartment buzzer to tell me to move my car, it didn’t always happen (I’ve been towed twice in my 2 decades in the city)..

Also when they tow you it’s to a lot, they don’t just dump you on some other street like in Philly.

So with Reflio you just need to connect your Stripe, add the JS tracking script to your site and then your good to go. You can manage multiple different types of affiliate campaigns from one dashboard, and manage all of your affiliates in one place. Your affiliates also get access to their own dashboard so they can monitor their own referrals and commissions.

It just saves you all of the leg work in setting up these systems basically :)
On the spectrum of police behavior, this is left of zero for sure, but pretty benign and easy to understand.

Was this comment written by GPT-3, or is it just contrarian for contrarianism's sake? Posted signs stating parking restrictions is the standard way of communicating parking restrictions, temporary or permanent. The notice window doesn't even have to be that long, although it's nice for it to be so that people can plan ahead. For example, in Boston it is illegal to stay parked in the same spot for more than 72 hours, so the city puts up signs at least 3 days ahead of time. If a car is still parked somewhere, it has either violated the temporary restriction or the 72 hour rule. Also if a car is towed, it's towed to a city lot rather than a random street. Getting your car out of a tow lot sucks but at least it's predictable. Problem solved - there is nothing "complex" about this.

The side of the street is hardly general public-use. In most places it's explicitly for parking. And many (certainly almost all where I am, albeit not in a major city) parking lots don't enforce time limits or ensure you're there for some specific use of the space.
We have a slackbot that announces when a new customer signs up for our service, with some info on them and links to view them in our admin dashboard + third-party apps. Also, once our app hears back from a third-party fraud-protection API, the slackbot will reply to the message with info on the result, and will also react to the announcement message with an appropriate emoji :) Helps out our support staff a bunch, reduces the surface area of the things they have to consistently look at.

It's very useful for us right now at our current scale. Should we start getting an inordinate amount of new signups everyday, we will have to start relying on other methods to understand the signups.

This occurred to me in the 2000s in NYC. Repeated (I kept on
getting "disconnected") calls to 311 always led to an operator that proceeded to victim blame me. "Are you sure you do not have parking tickets?", "Are you positive you have no parking tickets?".

There were "No Parking xxxday for repaving" that were posted in the (somewhat desolate, few residences) area after I have parked. Even after explaining this situation to the operators, they still insisted that the city must have towed my car because I did not pay my parking tickets. Three/four operators, same line. They had no idea where they towed my car. It took my father and I over an hour, splitting the streets, walking the neighborhood and finding the car.
