"TikTok chases Amazon" is a bit of a stretch. TikTok has just decided they want to "run competitively".

They are just starting out. When jobs they are looking to fill have goals to create "a new fulfillment service center from scratch" versus Amazon's decades of experience, infrastructure, and equipment, TikTok has a long way to go.

It will be interesting to see what they do, but you have to run several 5K races before you can begin to compete against an experienced ultra-marathon runner.
The implementation is different, but Texas has zoning. Importantly they have minimum parking zoning which forces sprawl as much as if not more than most zoning laws.

I think sprawl would happen anyway, cars are ultimately cheap and convenient (as % of budget large, but still affordable) and by the time traffic is a problem you have sprawl that transit cannot easily be retrofitted to.
And I've heard interviewers say that they've decided a priori to hire a woman because they need to hit their diversity target otherwise they won't get their end of year bonus. I don't doubt lived experiences that some interviews are biased against women, the question is whether there's bias in aggregate.

i wonder if voice masking is actually enough. i (zoomer) know my voice is significantly different from most of my female peers.

idk if this makes sense but i have a more stereotypically "confident" inflection, like my phrases don't rise in pitch at the end, i don't have the "creaky voice" thing etc. i also notice women tend to use more superlative optimistic phrasing ("perfect" vs "good" in response to something) and less definite language (prefacing more often with "i feel" or "maybe").

this is all obv anecdotal but i'm guessing i could guess male vs. female even if the pitches were modulated to be equal. shame there's no example of how male voices sounded modulated.
It appears to use JavaScript to set a data attribute on the <html> element, and then the CSS has selectors to match that data attribute and set some color variables. There's also a transition CSS property on the elements that change color to achieve the fade effect.

Pretty simple solution and looks great.
As demonstrated in central north america recently the real challenge isn't in proving election results .. it's in the greater social challenge of propagating belief and trust in the results in the face of concerted efforts to widely undermine such.

That's a whole other kettle of fish.
Isn’t middle click a user defined function? Is it system defined? I assume you could assign ctrl/cmd-click to the middle button if you want. I’ve not worked on a system with a middle mouse button in many years.
I'm quite glad to see this is the least controversial dirt I've ever seen be used to attempt to smear someone. He didn't "non-apology apology", he didn't apologize at all, and I don't think he should have. I'm VERY much for tighter gun control but the open-carry debate isn't worth entirely dismissing someone over, and I'm usually ready to dismiss someone at the smallest red flag regardless if they're someone I otherwise like.

Even if I agreed with your definition of "hole" (which I don't, compare nahstra's comment), there are two flaws in your causal chain:

1) If a hole is made of space, it doesn't follow that space is a hole.

2) Space is not spacetime.

Big tech profitability does not get hurt by hiring mediocre people. They are post-talent businesses. They do not depend on tech talent to drive and keep profit margins but rather depend on established monopoly and maintaining barrier-to-entry to continue their profitability. They show their growth by simply showing more ads or hiking subscription prices or through more sales people - not by developing new ground breaking tech. Apple is likely exception here.

Imagine if all of this money and brain power went to designing pleasant civic spaces where we could meet each other face to face.

The idea of a future where everyone is at home with screens strapped on their face, talking to their bubble-friends in a simulated tree-lined park while the outside world turns increasingly hostile is pretty sad.

Serious question: Has anybody else noticed that it's gotten very hard to talk to other people face-to-face lately? I feel like I'm expected to be an anonymous and obedient dopamine dispensing machine for the other person. Even worse, I've also noticed myself doing the same; getting home and then realizing I spent the whole conversation bragging or ranting while barely letting the other person speak. It's like the odds of having an even back-and-forth interaction is <20% post covid.

We have to come to terms with this.

Academia was bought and paid for long ago and the money was used to build an incredibly broken and overly political bureaucratic engine of scholarly and scientific work that doesn't get anywhere near as much peer-review scrutiny as it should and commands far more respect in politics and legal proceedings than we should allow.

Universities and experts are the best we can do sometimes so we have to rely on it, but it doesn't mean it's truth or absolute and people like to use it as if it is to sell ideas like global warming instead of educating people on climate change.

Many animals will multiply and consume available resources without stopping. Cute bunnies left to their own devices on a lush meadow will multiply and keep eating grass until the is little grass left, upon which they will die en masse. Invasive fish crowd everything else out, insects that eat whole swaths of forest leaving no remaining habitat for themselves.

Perhaps animals who are territorial and fight, within-species, for territory can be considered to have a mechanism of self-regulating their consumption of resources.

Humans are perhaps the only animal that will even consciously contemplate the consequences of their actions on the environment. We are, I would say, the furthest from the virus.

So much of this discussion depends on where you are. In the US, a typical solar installation is on the pitched roof of a house.

Rowhomes or apartment buildings in a city might have flat roofs with panels mounted on racks, but most US cities won't get enough snow often enough for this to be a problem.

This button should have been a <details> <summary>.

And this rule of thumb is also incorrect (albeit by technicality). A form submit button goes somewhere (to the action response) and is a button.

I agree with the sentiment though, in general:

- If you are navigating through the page, use a link,

- if you are performing an action, use a button, (and in addition)

- if you are reveling some information, use a <details> <summary>
>Still assuming you’re right, and not prejudiced, why is giving historically disadvantaged people a crutch to lean on so bad

this is simply not true. Hiring must be all about merit, not handouts for some noble social purpose.

Secondly, lowering bar for one race while keeping the same bar other races is blatant racism. It is conveniently called affirmative action, but in reality it is racism against more qualified candidates (like asians, jews, etc).

Third, just looking at skin color and handing out jobs does not accomplish intended goal (helping disadvantaged people), instead it only reinforces negative perceptions of minorities as unqualified and not deserving of high paying jobs.

Fourth, a lot of people who take advantage of DEI programs to get into high pay jobs/colleges - are not disadvantaged at all. I am talking about people from middle-class/high income families, kids from medium/high net worth families who also happened to be in a minority race. Also middle class/rich immigrants from Africa/Latin America, who never experienced many disadvantages that under represented minorities face in the US.

If you really really want to help underrepresented minorities get into tech - you should specifically target people from low income/poor neighborhoods, poor rating/high crime school districts - and to help them become qualified and deserving of jobs, not just handing out "Chief Diversity Officer" type token jobs that have no real impact, and are not really bona fide jobs. That also obviously includes white kids from poor neighborhoods, and becomes income targeted program, rather than racial profiling program.

>> What exactly is so terrible about helping people grow into roles instead of following the semi recent practice of only hiring perfectly qualified candidates?

Imagine your son was rejected for a job he perfectly was qualified for, and instead someone from another race was hired who was less qualified. Just because of race. Once you flip the situation to yourself and become on the other end of the "affirmative action" you will understand. You can't fix past discrimination with another discrimination.

I haven't owned a mouse without the ability to middle click ever (my first mouse had a ball and 3 buttons; I think a Logitech c7?).

If your mouse has a scroll-wheel, then it's probably clickable as a middle-click. If you have a trackpad without a 3rd button then there is usually a gesture that will send a middle click.

I used to be more adamant that links should never open modals and should be buttons. Until we ran into an action column in a grid having 4-5 items. Having it be all buttons would look ridiculous and annoy users with space usage. We went with link tags (some are true links and some are modals). Not a peep from users.

There is some talk about virtual energy providers that could agregate a large number of home users, receive an availability fee and only physically discharge during emergencies; that could work out economically and allow owners a positive revenue after depreciation, that could translate, for example, in lower prices for energy. That being said, I still think the whole fixed costs of the scheme (smart bidirectional meters, EV and charger support, coordination and administration costs etc.) would make it a money-losing proposal. A nice idea in theory, like say IP multicasting, but that cannot be made to work effectively in the real world.

The benefits of delayed charging are limited by the electric consumption of the transport sector. For an average family driving no more than 800 miles/month at 4 miles/kWh it works out less than 200kWh/month. If half of that charge is time flexible (with the rest being achieved at fastchargers or when the owner is in a hurry etc.), you get a 100 kWh/month dynamic load, a sizeable yet small fraction of the total household consumption. I would earmark that under smart-grid approaches, if correct pricing incentives are set at the meter it will happen automatically and not just for the EV charging loads.
jQuery once was designed to overcome JavaScript API differences in browsers and provide cross browser DOM manipluation and event handling, while still being as user friendly as possible - and it worked very good. You did not have to care - just use jQuery and you were done with cross browser stuff.

But it came at a cost. jQuery basically is a function that is linked to '$':

function jQuery() {
// ...
}

$ = jQuery;

The problem with jQuery today is, that most of the time the cross browser stuff is no longer necessary and therefore slows down your app drastically (especially hooking in every event handler). Most jQuery 'advanced' features are not used very often. This basically means, that in simple apps you could nearly replace jQuery with:

$ = document.querySelectorAll;

jQuery is also often very inconsistent. Take for example the function itself - you can use different types of arguments (jQuery(function(){}), jQuery('string'), jQuery([]), etc.). In a small app, this does not make a difference, but nowadays, with HUGE JavaScript applications, this can be a real problem.

Most users liked the easy API of jQuery and don't know about these facts, so jQuery often is still the way they go...

I technically have a dynamic IP, as the ISP also sells an upgrade to a guaranteed static IP which I don't pay for.

However, I've been getting assigned the same IP consistently since 2013. I used to use a dynamic DNS service to keep track of it but stopped doing that since it never changes.

Im a new react developer and it's extra work figuring out how I'd update the page from which you created the new tab without replacing it to trigger a state change. In the case of sites that render data synced to a datastore. Using a timer, sure, but thats not wildly efficient. There must be ways, they're just an extra consideration.
I'd be fine handicapping in the other direction if the raw scores empirically favored women.

There is nothing sacred about my personal opinion on how people do in interviews. I judge as objectively as I can, and that leads me to unfairly score women 0.5 points too low (based on hindsight and hired candidates' job performance).

There is plenty of scientific evidence saying that coding interviews are way more stressful for women, causing them to underperform on average. Not correcting for that would be sexist.
> Black holes are real, but your circle can only "exist" in mathematics.

You are aware that General Relativity is about the most mathematical (and mathematically rigorous and mathematically advanced) theory we have in physics? Several predictions were made purely based upon mathematical arguments, without much physical input. So your argument that math were a "different realm" with no connection to reality is full of, uhh, holes.

In fact, I would argue mathematics is mainly a language that provides us with the precision that everyday language lacks, it's a tool that allows us to make precise arguments while ruling out logical fallacies.

In the present case it allows us to say very precisely what we mean by a hole. This definition[0] has been employed in countless predictions in physics and its usefulness has been confirmed by experiment. Meanwhile, your definition is vague at best.

I once travelled from Paris to London on the Eurostar that goes via the Channel Tunnel.

One of our travelling companions was a woman who complained loudly on getting on board that she should have been flying, but wasn't able to that day.

Several hours later her tune had changed. She said she wouldn't bother flying between Paris and London again, because the train left and arrived in the centres of the cities and negated the need to travel for nearly an hour out to the airports. Once at the airports you had at least two hours to fill between check-in and take-off. And at the other end you had to travel nearly an hour back to the city centre.

In other words, the 'short trip' between Paris and London would have taken around four hours at least, where the EuroStar took only two hours plus another 15-30 minutes for check-in and immigration.
