The application of learned concepts is what separates the brilliant from the average. If the application is simply dumping your learned concepts onto paper for the purpose of a test, and then forgetting it all three weeks later then you have missed the point of learning. If you apply learned concepts in the real world and also apply the best ideas throughout your life, you have succeeded in ways many people don't succeed.
Things like HomePlug GreenPHY are used for smart meters. (Also electric car charging for some inexplicable reason) I don't know how they're typically deployed but I'd think at least a few miles? It wouldn't make much sense to use if you'd have to have the receiver really close - just use wireless.
You could. The point is to disprove the validity of the video. Correct signature is not a proof the video is valid but incorrect one could be proof that it is not.

In practice, most people who manufactured videos before very recently were simply unaware of this possibility. I learned about it many years ago but I still forgot about it and probably would not try to do anything about it if I was manufacturing a video.
I said nothing about slavery, what are you talking about?

I don't see how bounded liability would prevent your scenario from happening.

Why is that a bad thing?

It sounds like the company doesn't have management in place to tell if an employee is lazy and doing a bad job, nor is willing to pay well enough to hire good employees.

Surely that's not a good thing.
Occasionally this is also encountered as an acronym. Some colleagues of mine christened an ASIC whose requirements kept growing EWOMIS: http://asic.ethz.ch/1991/Ewomis.html

This is insane.

The drive to be differentiated is a way more powerful force than people appreciate. When big oil was deciding what to use as an anti-knocking agent (tetraethyllead or ethanol) the two biggest concerns that tipped the decision in favor of lead were:

1. Ethanol might become a competitor to oil.
2. Lead could be patented, licensed, and used to differentiate their gasoline from competitors.
That is true, but a timestamp is intended to specify a particular time, and a simple temporal interval fails to do that just as a simple spatial interval fails to specify a location; both are incomplete (the former on account of a missing starting point, and your counter-example on account of a missing azimuth.)

On the other hand Unix (POSIX) time does not have leap-seconds, while UTC does not, so it is no longer "in" UTC.

Lots more depending on your definition of “proficient”.

“How do you be proficient if you study so many languages?”

All programming languages are basically the same if you squint at them.

Each language is better at different things, and can help you see code in different ways. Learning Haskell will help you write better JavaScript, for example.

So really I think the opposite is true: how do you know you’re not boxed into a narrow way of thinking if you’ve only used 1 language?

I am maximally productive in a small handful of languages because I use them the most and am familiar wit the idioms, pitfalls, libraries, etc.

If you use other languages day-to-day I don’t think you’ll be able to maintain maximal productivity with Rust and Golang. But learning them can teach you alternative perspectives, or can give you a leg up if you encounter a problem to solve that lies within their sweet spot.
It’s in the article.

Probably not a great idea. Simple answer: no. Most of the people working for these companies don’t wear these things for more than 10 minutes a week.
Sometimes.

The replaced I-35 bridge went up fast. It would have cost radically less to maintain the old one properly.
Belgian chiming in: Belgian law is decent good when it comes to assisted suicide ("euthanasia"). In order to be able to go ahead with it, the patient has to be suffering ("unbearable suffering", per the law), either physically or mentally, and the situation has to be "hopeless".

In general, it's not something that can be done on a whim. You can't walk in to your doctor's office with a depression and come out in a body bag. There's a process, and you need the approval of multiple doctors (or shrinks).
I signed a release when the employer did a background check on me. And was provided a copy of it. The latter I think is state law here, the former I think is also law but I’m not 100% sure.

Interesting exercise! I've noticed a very long time ago, that different sides of my body are strongly dominant for different tasks.

Most things: right hand dominates, it's also the default for trying new kinds of activities. I sometimes retry with left hand, and sometimes stick with it.

Writing: right hand. One-handed typing - left hand. Playing guitar, I like tapping - my right (plucking) hand often can't keep up with the left, so left is doing double duty. Friend had a left-handed guitar, ended up flipping it around. Can't play piano well, again right hand is struggling to keep up. Also using left hand with the trackpad, while right has the mouse - neither hand feels comfortable with the other device. The list keeps going.

The legs are also asymmetric! Skating (longboard, dancing, downhill) - left foot forward (regular). I'm not great at riding switch, with the exception of just a couple tricks where I'm somehow way better than regular. Jumping - always landing left foot first. Kicking things - right foot. Climbing stairs - I always skip the first stair (even if I continue one stair at a time), left foot almost always goes first. Cycling - as weird as it sounds, even before I started skating, I never liked right turns, and then I struggled a lot to learn toeside slides.

It's not that strange, knowing each half of the brain is wired to the opposite hand, and that the two halves work very differently. It's worth it to explore, which hand/half is better at what, it might be a very personal thing.
Must suck being a father and not being able to take leave with your kids. We get 10 days when the baby is born. Plus lots of days until the child is X years, I think 11 years.

I always felt the decision to write flow in ocaml was ahead of its time. Flow compiler is much faster than TS.

Native bundlers like esbuild, swc etc. are mainstream now but they came much later.
I see your point, and I apologize for not being as clear as I could have been. I do still think that "this could make a poor, hardworking Asian kid not get a college position because of a rich Black kid" is a very bad criticism; it conflates some very emotionally resonant topics in a way that isn't justifiable. I also think that this conflation was done for ideological reasons.

I do want to respond to this, though:

> What you were trying to imply with your comment about "other factors" is that these asian students have less soft skills than other ethnicities

No, I wasn't. By other factors I meant the other things the GP brought up: economics (" born in poverty"), being 'weird' or just not fitting in (which I felt was implied by "got bullied in school"), and nationality ("a rich black American kid" implies, at least to me, that our hypothetical Asian student isn't American). All of these have significant impacts in school admissions, especially nationality, which can make prospective students ineligible for some kinds of aid.
"the contact you sign with Facebook"? I am so confused. Do you mean the contract you sign with PayPal?
Gwern had also written a long essay describing the same[1].

The average age of a corporate board member is ~60. If they joined the workforce at 22, it would have been in 1984. That makes it a very poor measure of present-day discrimination, because it has up to a 40 year lag on top of whatever delay exists between legislation and effect. Also, this:

>A majority of companies in the S&P 500 have at least one woman on their boards, but only about a quarter have more than two, according to a study from PwC.

is an arbitrarily defined measure (I expect intentionally to make things look worse) when we care about how many women hold board seats. In 2022, 29% of board seats are held by women. In 2018 it was something like 21%. Not at all good, but nearly double the 11% you'd get for a token woman on every board (assuming the average of 8.9 seats/board from Russell 3000).
The one part of this article that I totally agree with is how terrible the API integration has become. In the early days, Stripe sold itself on a few things, one of which was the simplicity of integration. Since the whole PaymentIntents and SetupIntents introduction (along with the documentation fiasco that happened at the same time), integrating with Stripe is something like PayPal from 10 years ago. Its shit.

PaymentIntents workflow (including the necessity to listen for webhooks) deserves a special place in hell. Its like they decided to copy Paypal IPN.

I have used, recommended and intgrated Stripe to multiple businesses over the years (generating hundreds of US$ millions). For the past 2 years or so, I have migrated most of them away from Stripe, and any new integrations are done through other payment processors.
There’s also personal aspect to that: working when your mind already fails - sucks. It feels like wandering in a deep forest only occasionally seeing the light. Or clicking randomly through windows management consoles in hope it works. Very uncomfortable, boring and demotivating, even if nothing goes wrong in a project afterwards.

This probably has no economical benefit even. I believe in most cases a second shift would do this work much quicker than an exhausted team that spends most of this time squeezing last drops of sanity at overtime rate. [laughs in corporative]

> He’s just straight up being racist.

I don't know if he's being racist or not. But the claim they can't speak english is not uncommon. I don't know what they are like in America or UK, but having worked with many while living in Singapore, I think they can speak english, but pronunciation is difficult.

> Singaporean English

I wasn't referring to Singaporean Indian speaking English, but can see how that it may have come across as that. The company I worked for in SG, all the devs were on EP, so their English was learnt in India.
Yea, it “saves money”. For the school district; parents now have to spend gas to sit in traffic. I guess 40 cars is more efficient than one diesel electric bus, if you’re a penny pinching administrator.
Seems like that could mean 11 pills of an unknown number of different antidepressants per day.

Are reference letters no longer done in Germany?

When I was there that was how this was done. Basically you would always get a reference letter when ending employment. The reference letter's language always sounds good, as in not giving a bad reference. However, a reference letter that states things like "employee X delivered his tasks on time and to the satisfaction of work standards" basically means that he's a slacker that does mediocre work at best. It has to say something like "We are ultimately saddened for employee X leaving because he always delivered his work early and to the highest standard thinkable". These are bad made-up English language examples to show the difference in language but there's basically template language HR departments use for this.
> They also lied shamelessly about their qualifications which led to absurd situations.

This I have experience with. The word absurd is not an exaggeration, it might not even be enough to describe it.

I dont understand this sentence. Does Ghosted here mean something different to ghosting in hiring?
> I think this article goes through a lot of micro-exercizes and micro-corrections and semantics to avoid the obvious conclusion that Japan is mostly honogenous, and to a far more degree than the US or a lot of European countries.

Ah yes, thank you HN comments.
I can't speak for OP. My thinking is, if 11 antidepressants are prescribed, SOME must be the SSRI types that have known side effects of homicide and suicide. I think there is an ethical question of a doctor prescribing both the antidepressants and a euthanization. Even if a separate practitioner was involved for the final decision. I'm not convinced it is possible for a fully volitional decision to be made by the deceased if her capacity were diminished by the antidepressants.
Someone took the time to read your article and give you their critical impression, and you respond here essentially by saying that they are wrong and that they should read another article you wrote to correct their thinking.

This comes off as condescending and dismissive. It's a poor way to treat people who have taken the time to engage with your content, especially if engagement is what you want, which appears to be the case given your other replies on this topic.

Take the time to respond to them directly rather than pointing them towards more content you've written, even if it means repeating ideas you've written elsewhere.

This approach has a number of benefits:

1. It has the effect of presenting what you've read elsewhere inline (most readers won't click that link)

2. It gives you an opportunity to revisit and refine your own thinking, and

3. It forces you to think carefully about the criticisms levied

And most importantly, it reciprocates the effort they've put into reading your post and responding to you so that you don't come off like a jerk.
Treating people differently on the basis of race or sex is discrimination.

Equity is explicitly about trying to force equality of outcome between different groups by discriminating against groups that have been deemed privileged and in favor of groups that have been deemed oppressed.
I will also not have a child and live in an EU country where parents get a lot of paid parental leave. I think it's great. Why wouldn't I want to work alongside happy, less stressed coworkers who aren't constantly _extra_ sleep and energy deprived from worrying about having to unsustainably juggle work and kids? Companies are well aware of the laws and know they need to staff appropriately. In addition, it is a good thing that parents get to prioritize their children because it makes for well adjusted children for us all to live with as they grow.

As a person without kids I do sometimes wish childfree people got benefits in ways that have more _immediate_ applications for us as well. But that doesn't mean parents shouldn't keep getting generous leave allowances to care for their children.
Sorry, I wasn't precise: it's two databases (Postgres, Redis), an HTTP frontend (nginx) and specific versions of two interpreted language runtimes (Ruby, Node). The point stands.

> And as soon as someone got good, they left the team/company because they could get a better job anywhere else.

they left the company because they could get a "better pay" anywhere else.

For offshore outsourcing company, their only business model is: amount they receive per resource - A. salary per resource - B. fix cost at company level. i.e. office rent, office maintenance, etc.

And Project manager's OKR are mostly to increase margin. Project manager have only control over A. hence they will always try to hire junior resource. So good resource often have to waste time in spoon feeding to rest of the team and they will leave the company as soon as they got better offer/company.
So it was, tx.

What if I told you that people suck at statistics and that temperatures have this weird thing called "variance"--meaning the average can increase and yet you still get outliers that are memorable, in both directions, and thus your cognitive biases don't give you an accurate picture of change?

The Thiel and Musk thing is bizarre, I've never heard of anyone being worried about that.

eBay bought Paypal in the 'Paypal Mafia' two decades ago in 2002 which is when most of them cashed out their stock. I highly, highly doubt their founder stock is still in any way connected to the various corporate iterations of Paypal that were sold and resold.

Even 10 years ago this would be a silly thing to be concerned about. Paypal has enough real problems anyway.
>Well I would prefer they send me a bill directly for fire services monthly, like water instead of having it obfuscated in general taxation. I prefer user fees not taxation.

As is quite common in the US, my fire services (as well as part of education costs--the state also contributes) are paid for out of my quarterly property taxes and my town budget is right up on the website to look at. So it's not really obfuscated. And I don't really want to get 20 different bills from my town rather than a quarterly property tax (and water) bill.
Moment.js was one of our biggest dependencies, and the transition to Day.js was easy. I'm certainly glad we didn't hold off. I'm sure we'll switch to Temporal eventually, but it's misguided to suggest everyone should wait a year or more to improve their sites just to save a little effort in the interim.

Sorry, but throwing someone on the floor in front of the congress building for registering clearly sarcastic domains such as "hitler.rocks" and "nuke.africa" is just not what I understand under anti-facism. It's merely a power move for confirming your own moral superiority. I mean, just look at the website, and you will clearly see that the whole site is meant as a joke.

If you want to be political, you shouldn't start with labelling someone as "fac|rac|sex-ist" because that implicitly means that it's the end of the discussion. That's not how politics should work. Paul Graham wrote a wonderful essay about this. [2]

This is incorrect. Learning is doing. I know all about all sorts of things. That doesn’t mean I can do many of them.

I didn’t understand this part.
I mean, it’s a news article, so I take the “facts” they lay out with a pinch of salt. From experience, finding a working drug is hard, sometimes impossible. Sure, if she was on 11 at once, that would probably be extreme, but even then I’d rather trust her doctors than my own lay opinion.
Glad to hear your company is a good employer. This is just a guess but is it an Indian tech company? Culture is changing for sure but what’s happening at tech companies doesn’t shows the full picture (though it is also true the other way around). I know several women who were asked about their plan to start family in their job interview. I was myself asked a few years back about my family background and I decided to hide that my father was ill.

The fact that India doesn’t have strong labor laws allows all this to happen. Many existing laws were created for factories and the way they are worded they exclude many present day industries. Also, this is all when considering white collar jobs. Blue collar jobs are just another level of misery.

Again, happy for you but there are people who have suffered because of these practices.
The current situation is still a problem. If you disable cookies, you get the banner every single time.

The law should outlaw that behavior so that people can continue to conveniently block cookies. Google is an ad network and controls chrome. They could come up with a universal opt out (like X-DO-NOT-TRACK) that works with such a law.
"Quiet quitting" is dumbest fucking buzzword I've ever heard -- it's just "doing what you're hired to do," i.e. the exact opposite of quitting. Our society is entirely too obsessed with conjuring new and novel terms for things that don't need them.
Another method I have used in the past is to rewatch content I used to learn a subject at 3-4x speed. A lot of high quality content that spans multiple days can be viewed in only a few hours this way. The key I’ve learned with this is to do this across variations of the content you wish to learn and re-learn. Combine this with audio books at similar speeds and you can really get through content very quickly.

When using this method if you are learning something for the first time or you come across something that peaks your interest, an exercise or question, pause and take notes, implement the solution in multiple variations, then continue the video/audio.
