I am always amazed by this assumption that firms hire "the better candidate", absent DEI initiatives or such.

In reality, people often hire the one they like best - which often tends to naturally be someone who resembles themselves.

Not to mention, very very few companies and positions within those companies operate at a level where they will succeed or fail based on whether they have the best possible candidate. For the vast majority of jobs, a candidate has to be adequate, and you can easily find 10 adequate candidates for every position you want to fill.

It's just like hiring the best street sweeper in the world is not going to significantly impact your bottom line - most CRUD jobs aren't too different from that.

This seems possibly almost perfect for me as an API but I can't use it for my service without knowing what the pricing will be for generation after the model is trained.

Like I can't launch with the assumption that will stay free forever unless you really pro.ises that, and can't know if it is feasible to use this instead of setting up everything myself on Google Cloud without knowing that pricing.

$3 sounds pretty good for the training though. How long does it take? Also so you have an option for using a different number of instances to train faster (for more money)?
Why not have all employees pay for their own training? Sounds like a great plan to increase profitability.

This isn't applicable to the G-Series, but the MX Master and M720 (plus some other niche models) support smooth scrolling, which can only be enabled on Windows and macOS using their 300-or-something Electron app that nags you to sign in to their stupid cloud service. Of course the basic features (pointer/scrolling speed) can still be configured within the OS.

I used to live in Chicago. In my old neighborhood, there is a right-of-way reserved for future high-speed rail. Most of it is now “tunnel” because high rises and stores have built out around it, taking all the space except that reserved portion. The grocery store has a parking deck cantilevered over the right of way; a high rise literally has a tunnel through it, etc. it looks crazy in the present, but that’s what planning ahead looks like.

The US can do big infrastructure projects. It is happening all over the place. You just don’t notice because nobody is writing about non-failures.
I agree completely. There are many things I like about CCC. For example, corporate sponsorship is forbidden, and many speakers use handles rather than their legal name. This distancing from $dayjob helps to prevent government/military and corporations from undue influence, and also frees the speakers to say what they actually think about a technology, not fearing that they will lose their job over it.

Regarding the political bent, one big difference from the US is that people at CCC will openly express their disagreements, and are generally respectful about it. The only limitations are that Nazis are not allowed, which is partly because they are forbidden by law.

Many of them just can't speak English correctly. Only a small percentage of the individuals who speak English at a proficient level of those who do, they predominately come from very wealthy upper caste families and now you have a new problem. And well. When it comes to caste, many Indians simply believe it to not exist anymore in India because of how deeply engrained it is in their social classes they never notice it.

I've always wondered about this.

In my contract, it says there is a few months' notice period, both when I want to stop working there as well as when they want me to stop working there. When reviewing the contract, it sounded reasonable and I just assumed that when I get the notice, that's how it is.

Later, I learned of these "there must be a valid reason" type of protections.

Does that make this whole clause void? Or even working in my favor, that is: even if there is a valid reason, our contract adds those months of notice period?
Funny how throughout my over 11k karma points the only comments that get downvoted without reply or clarification are ones that underline slightly left leaning viewpoints with facts.

I'd love to know the factually wrong parts of what I say, so I can avoid saying it in the future and maybe even adjust my world view accordingly. This happens with many issues I discuss, but when it comes to (on the european political spectrum) slightly left leaning topics there will always be certain people that downvote based on political orientation alone.
That is in interesting way to define "better candidate" being that it does not tie to the bottom line except unless there are explicit business incentives to discriminate.

>the intent was to make sure people instantly understand without context

This goes without saying, but this isn't exclusive to AlQaeda. Using video editing to convey a strong message isn't enough reason to conclude there is a link to foreign intelligence. Most likely they were just trying to be direct and convey a message (a statement to the regime that the people are tired of and angry about the oppression/violence)- none of what you mentioned to explain your association to AlQaeda makes any sense- "musical tribal message"? Are you inplying AlQaeda is controlled by a foreign agency? Which agency?

Really makes it sound like you have a very vague understanding of the region, alongside a very strong bias.
This does exist as a concept, though I agree that "timestamp" is not a good name for that concept. The Java standard library calls it LocalTime. It is necessary to attach time zone information in order to determine an Instant.

The big problem with the python API, in my opinion, is that they conflate these two very different concepts in a single type.

No.. because the merchant is paying for those fees. Not the customer / consumer.

You might have different agreements, because you negotiated lower prices because supposedly you have better fraud detection etc.. But that's not the same as "because we feel it's the right thing to do".

You took a part of the bank's/card's business (risk management), and that's fine, but please don't tell us stripe is doing things because you feel anything.

What is the glass ceiling?

In Norway years back they promoted a program for women to study engineering disciplines. They increased a lot.

So at some point they thought they could stop doing it and percentages came back to where they were before after some time I recall.

If it was a cultural thing... they would have stayed. On the way u had discrimination by sex (AFAIK men were not paid for choosing engineering and women were paid FOR choosing, a privilege under any circumstance since noone forbid them to choose that).

All in all what happened is that some ppl saw a chance (incentive) in dtudying cheaper or whatever. But was the real reason to choose those degrees bc they really liked it?

I really think promoting good stuff is nice. But distorting it via positive discrimination is not the solution.

It is possible to get a freezing order through the courts to freeze assets like land, property, bank accounts, etc.

>>Just like the first black kids sent to white only schools during integration helped make things less terrible for future minorities.

it is nothing like that for 3 reasons

1. first and foremost the "white only" schools was legally required segregation, it was imposed by law and the elimination of that required law to reverse. These laws have now been absent for decades

2. Primary education is where this battle should be fought, even today there are still battle that need to be fought when it come to resource alloation, school choice, etc. You do not attempt to fix a bad casting after the poor you need to fix the mold.... We do that by fixing primary education which is being used by various political factions on both the left and the right to push political agenda and not education.

3. Once we get to adulthood, using discrimination to "fix" historic discrimination will not resolve the underlying problem (see #2) and will likely create more discrimination against the very groups you are attempting to assist, it is in all cases a general net negative.

Git is fine and so are C/C++ thank you.
> I would suggest to hold off

you don't need to hold off - you just wrap the library in an api of your own, specific for your usage. Then, when/if the ecmascript standard library adds a good one in, you just need to re-implement the wrapper, which would be presumably pretty easy as the api surface area is fairly small.

We get the not enough “velocity” or not enough “productivity” talk from time to time. And it’s also defined against arbitrary deadlines with no consequences if missed. Ultimately, as a team, we end up producing lower quality code at higher burnout rates. We have a very high turnover rate and the solution proposed is always more “velocity” and / or “productivity”, whatever that means.
You’re assuming there is only one qualified person for a given position. And that the woman/minority is not that person. In most cases there are multiple qualified people.
Yes, these are fully 3D simulations. The vertical resolution is slightly harder to describe because models like these typically use more complicated vertical coordinates than just "meters above ground". E.g. a technical article on the ICON-A formulation [1] says that it uses a "hybrid sigma" coordinate - so something that follows a combination of pressure and terrain. For a very high-resolution simulation that resolves clouds, you'd need to crank this up to O(100 m) in the bottom of the model, but it can space out as you get higher in the atmosphere.

Putin had hoped for that after 2014,but he was in for a nasty surprise in 2022. The probability of NATO to strike back is 100%. It doesn't matter if they destroy the Black Sea fleet or naval bases or do something else, they already communicated to Putin several times that the response will not need to be nuclear but for sure will be painful.

I guess the problem is people diving in to daily use of git without first educating themselves about how it works. In fact git is elegant and wonderfully designed, which makes it easy to use. It’s hard not to descend into a bit of snarkiness and say it's less than astonishing to see this from a Microsoft guy.
Because we're destroying the planet and cynical takes like this post and replies to my comment aren't making it any better.
Pre-registration is becoming more common but unfortunately, it isn't enough. For it to work there's an implied second stage: journals and other funding gatekeepers have to commit to blocking research if it doesn't actually implement the pre-registered plan. This does not seem to be happening reliably, or at least it's relatively easy to find counter-examples.

There's also a lot of scope for drama and problems at that second stage, because there can be a lot of wiggle room in whether what was done meets or doesn't meet the pre-registered plan. It might sound easy to follow a pre-written plan but for instance if what you're doing turns out to need adjustment due to discovering something you hadn't anticipated, then technically you might violate your pre-registration. In turn that can yield perverse incentives to not fix things.

Having been through a few rounds of "here's a new procedure that will yield better science, oh no it isn't really working" I'm not really enthused anymore by this kind of tactical fix. From a software dev perspective it's sort of like constantly hot-patching a system in prod to try and cover up bugs when the underlying problem is actually bad architecture that creates too many bugs in the first place. Getting overly fixated on P-hacking or non-replicability distracts from the deeper underlying problem of a mis-specified utility function.

Example: replication was meant to be the big hammer but most studies still aren't being replicated and when they are they sometimes use lax definitions of "replicate" that wasn't what people had in mind, e.g. they'll get an effect size 10% of what was originally reported and still label that study "replicated" or they'll get totally different numbers but claim that because the trend is sort of similar, that's replication.

My observation is that the Indians that make it to the US via companies like TCS, Infosys and others, are the product of a highly political environment where you are expected to worship your manager and tend to be political as fuck.

They are very different to Indians that have not worked in such environments, who tend to be much more trustworthy and ethical.

In America, a manager is another employee who can be wrong just as often as anyone else.

I am glad to see in recent years that the startup scene in India is empowering capable engineers to escape the fucked up reality that can be the corporate work culture over there.
