High-performing employees do not enjoy being abused the way Elon is abusing current Twitter employees. Being good at what you do does not make someone enjoy working 24/7 under threat of firing. They especially don't like doing it for somebody who is openly antagonistic and disrespectful towards them.
So you are saying that using a tabstop of eight to align this:

-------->coolFun(arg1,
-------->------->arg2)

Would still look nicely aligned with a tabstop of 4? and 2? Clearly that will not look right.
My guess is most people don't want to say yes to _everything_ on a survey because it's equivalent to not answering. So it's unsurprising that this would come out low when lumped in with academics. When asked straight up about race I'd imagine the response would be stronger. But of course that's just a hypothesis.
Musk and Calacanis literally discussed doing this in the texts that were made public in the lawsuit. Called it a “gentleman’s layoff”

I think this whole fiasco has definitely tarnished his reputation among all but the very most devoted muskbros. I'd certainly never consider buying a Tesla now - not just because I don't want to support Musk's project, but because driving a Tesla is starting to be a bad look.
6000 years of Egyptian archaeology and history translates into about 300 human generations... pretty mind-boggling, that's a lot of ancestors living off the Nile.
Poland just seems to have gotten a very good deal. Maybe South Korea is just willing to sell at a loss with an eye towards future sales.

According to wikipedia [1],[2], a K2 tank costs about $8.5 MM while a K9 self-propelled gun costs about $2.8 MM (with the mention that this is the price for the ROK military). At 980 tanks and 672 guns, that's a bit more than $10 BN. The additonal 48 FA-50 fighter planes would be worth about $1.5 BN more according to [3]. The article mentions a total price of $5.8 BN. But it could be as high as $15 BN, "if all the options are exercised in the coming years". It sounds to me that the $15 BN figure includes the price of spare parts, munitions, and other post-sale costs associated with military hardware purchases.

If they did get indeed the said tanks, guns and fighter jets for $5.8 BN instead of $12 BN, then how can the US compete? Last year (2021) Poland announced [4] they will acquire 250 M1 Abrams tanks from the US. Now they are getting 4 times as many tanks, and a huge number of very respectable long range artillery pieces, and a few squadrons worth of fighter jets, for less money. This is mind blowing.

Castor oil is darker, thicker and higher viscosity. Canola is more of a pale yellow and thin. If it wasn't canola (which I assumed it was because it's the cheapest) it was some other cheap filler. Point being, I no longer trust amazon to send me anything that's going on or in my body. Then when we got a fake birdfeeder I realized there were a ton of fake products on there.

We weren't the only ones to get a fake birdfeeder, fwiw:

https://www.wpri.com/news/call-12-for-action/counterfeits-on...

> WARREN, R.I. (WPRI) — Aspects has been in business for decades, manufacturing bird feeders that come with a lifetime guarantee. So in 2016, when a customer called about a defective hummingbird feeder, the Warren-based company took the complaint seriously. “We went through the process of cutting the plastic and looking at all the different molding telltales and we realized it was not our product,” Trisha Torres, the CEO of Aspects, told Call 12 for Action.
Torres said the product was a counterfeit. She knew if there was one, there had to be others.

> “We found that it was just rampant on Amazon,” Torres said. In 2017, U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized 3,828 counterfeit Aspects bird feeders in 68 cartons. Federal court records show Aspects won a permanent injunction against the LLC that made the shipment, but even now, Torres still finds fakes on Amazon. “My customer service department has fielded hundreds of these calls,” Torres said. “People’s knee-jerk reaction is they are just angry at us. They think we’re not standing behind our product.”
We had a Prop 13 challenge in 2020 called Prop 15. The idea was to "split" the way Prop 13 works so that homeowners would still have Prop 13, but commercial properties would not (after a phase in of 5 years or something). It was rejected 52-48 in a historical voter turnout election.

I was surprised it failed, but it cemented the idea for me that Prop 13 is untouchable.

Why not? They accepted $500mil of stolen property. It's only fair to take at least as much from them.

"I didn't know" is not an excuse. If you buy stolen car it will be taken away from you. You pay for your mistake and buying stolen goods is a mistake.
How do you explain Texas then? Lots of catalytic converter theft and lots of gun ownership. Now you have two problems. You have to worry about somebody stealing from you, and you have to worry about somebody shooting you.

Well, it starts locally. A meth head stealing a converter isn't going very far to sell it. Odds are most are sold to junkyards that sell them to a larger recycler that processes the PGMs.

I think it's a bit of a stretch to assume that entire illegal market could move offshore without a trace.
It seems ridiculous for it to turn out that way. Let's make sure we have enough men in college, but it's wrong to increase the Black representation?
Kind of a circular argument to say that we are seeing an increase in birthing centers because the practice of medicine in recent years reduced the use of birthing centers.
No catalytic converter theft, no gas gouging, no oil changes. I read things like this and is just makes me hope more people get on board.

In the meantime, I’ll be sticking with my Tesla, thanks.

There's definitely something wrong with this site. If I turn off HTTPS-only mode, it makes a perfectly straight green and red bar at 2000ms.
There is, however, something especially bad about using a lens with a poorly matched sensor. The video boasts that the camera uses a 13.2mm x 8.8mm sensor (it uses the unfortunate 'full 1" sensor' terminology for this, so it could actually be smaller), which means it has less than 14% of the area of the 35mm film these lenses were intended for, and a 2.7 crop factor. The 35mm lens they show would behave somewhat like a 95mm telephoto lens.

It would presumably also need to be focused through the sensor in some laborious way, unless they've devised a clever rangefinder using other cameras on the back. And if it is using the sensor for focus and as a viewfinder, how does the aperture meant for a rangefinder work?
It still shocks me that Twitter has more than 3 employees. It's not exactly complicated software.
Research shows that graduation rates for minorities in engineering programs will likely increase if affirmative action goes away:

I'd expect the charging cables to be the easy target then. EV owners, please correct me if I'm wrong but I can't imagine that the charging port would be able resist a cordless drill for more then 4 or 5 seconds. And from what I've seen of the CCS connectors, Home Depot probably carries big drill bits long enough drill into into and completely destroy the locking mechanism.

Drill in, destroy the the charging port on the car, retrieve the cable and sell on Ebay. How much do one of those charging cables go? $200? If not, and if the owner does something to lock the cable, cutting it for the copper is still worth a few dollars.

Maybe it's how you frame anyone who wants actionable solutions as screaming "WON'T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?"...

America is more than component enough to blow up a gas pipeline, so why was one of the pipes of Nord Stream 2 spared? Pressuring Germany to certify it giving Russia a huge win.

The obvious answer is because regardless of how much text people write, it was clearly Russia who had the most to gain and the easiest ability to do it.

Gazprom has maintenance robots that can be sent down the pipes and could be used to cause an internal explosion.

Much more likely and reasonable than some sort of fanciful special operations mission.

This isn't "shares some features", this is directly copies the look and functionality of Twitter. It may have some differences, but so much is the same you can't argue that isn't what they were going for.
> This "self-awareness" is a common theme I've experienced in trips is just the pure randomness of reality/existence. There is no "reason" why anything happens. There's no reason you are you, and there's no reason to be anything different. I think if you truly explore self-awareness, you will reach this point. You are a configuration that has no inherent "reason" to be that particular configuration.

There probably isn't a teleological reason why, but there are certainly reasons why. That's why biology etc. exist.

> You can hope to transform into a different configuration, but there's no compelling reason to be anything else because at the core, everything is arbitrary. The best you come out with is a sense of disillusionment or depersonalization. Maybe you can overcome this point in the journey and reach "enlightenment". I've yet to experience what's past this, but maybe someone else can shed some light on that.

There are limits to the utility of desire. How can life be meaningful without a body? Without contentment, how can anything have value?
And just think, it was this kind of clever thinking that got us Tailscale a decade later.
When you’re like Wolfram, where you are head of a 800-employee organisation, profitable from real users, and have a long road map of where you want to take your product, then work is essentially infinite and energising.

When you get to lead the vision of your “baby”, with support from 800 people, work is completely different from your typical middle manager of individual contributor.

Surely there are plenty of engineers rejuvenated by the prospect of fixing Twitter.
Not in STEM departments, no. Why would you run a pro-male affirmative action programme in a department where men were already over-represented?

But there's affirmative action for men in nursing, teaching, social studies, and similar female-dominated departments. There are active campaigns to recruit more male nurses - and male teachers are more likely to be promoted.

I also know first-hand that vocational ballet schools recruit equal numbers of boys and girls, so they can teach partnering - despite the fact they probably get 30 female applicants for every male applicant!

Of course, a male might find it unfair that the pro-male affirmative action is only applied in areas like ballet and nursing which they're not interested in - but that's the whole point of affirmative action.

And if you find it unfair that the pro-male affirmative action for female-dominated jobs only provides low-paid, low-status jobs - then feminists are very much in agreement with you about the unfairness of the situation :)
Yes, anyone who has walked around NYC in the last 10 years and thinks that theres some sort of mass incarceration of marijuana users is delusional. The smell is basically on any block on any given day, and theres open selling of it from unlicensed mobile dispensaries.

Pretending the jails are filled with non-violent simple drug offenders is someone either ill informed or not wanting to have a serious conversation. Either way, they are probably not in a position to be harmed one way or the other by increased criminal violence because they are high status enough to believe their zip code or income insulate them from it.

Further, to your stat of 60% of incarcerated being their for violent offenses probably undersells how many were "violent". The NY bail reform laws were passed by pols who said it only applied to "non violent" offenses.

However the criminal law definition & intuitive civilian understanding of "non violent" do not necessarily align. There were plenty of cases in NYC post 2019 of people getting pushed down the stairs of subways, or sucker punched on the sidewalk which somehow fell into the "non-violent" bucket, for the purposes of the law.

The whole argument on bail reform would be moot if suspects were getting a speedy trial. We shouldn't be hearing of cases where people are out on the streets able to commit 5 different offenses over 9 months while still awaiting trial on the first charges.

I can illustrate one way that "diversity" hiring has affected perceptions of a demographic. In the 1980s, I worked around engineering departments a lot. Women were rare, but it seemed to be widely assumed that any woman in engineering would be exceptionally capable and driven.

These days, when I hear discussion about inclusive hiring, regardless of whether people are for or against it, there is a common assumption that allowances will have to be made for employees of lesser ability.

My impression is that this change in attitude started in the mid-1990s.
Disparate impact jurisprudence does https://www.nationalaffairs.com/publications/detail/the-dead...

"Despite this assertion, the development of the Griggs doctrine has proved anything but friendly to meritocratic objectives. Although the Supreme Court has never held that all workplaces must be racially balanced, lower courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), which is charged with administering Title VII, have firmly embraced the presumption that the racial profiles of particular workplaces should reflect the racial composition of the broader population."

"Recently, prompted by the racially adverse impact of measures of verbal and abstract analysis — areas in which some minority groups underperform — experts have also developed alternative instruments that employ audio or video techniques, or that make use of so-called "assessment center" protocols based on job simulations, real-time problem solving, or actual work samples."

"Although few disparate-impact lawsuits are actually filed, and though defendants win most of those that are, the specter of disparate-impact lawsuits nonetheless dangles like a Sword of Damocles over employers' heads. The prospect of onerous, unpredictable, and protracted litigation provides employers with a strong incentive to find some way to avoid being sued. One temptation is to satisfy diversity targets by relaxing personnel-selection standards across the board. Firms can also switch to more haphazard staffing methods that tend to obscure informal affirmative action or other race-conscious practices. Some of these tactics pose the risk of yielding a less effective work force, while others (such as the use of race-based criteria) are legally suspect or even expressly forbidden under Title VII."

There are many, many disadvantages to being educated in rural Australia vs. in the capital cities. Even if you got selected by one of the richer schools who pay for the best teachers and better student/teacher ratios, you are still disadvantages by needing to live away from home (lacking family support) or 4 hours of commuting each day. And it isn't even all about you. Because Universities know about these disadvantages, they know that, on average, a student from a rural area will perform better than an urban student with the same scores. It adds context to the scores.

Unlike, say, when there was a box to tick if you had enough aboriginal blood in your veins. So many people ticked that box for an unfair advantage, completely disconnected and even scornful of the culture but able to claim enough percentage of the race. But lots of students took the money from Abstudy even if it muddied their ethics.
The rules about sex-based discrimination were not crafted for the purpose of college admissions. This is just how the law has evolved around treating people of different sexes and races differently.

Another consequence of having the looser "intermediate scrutiny" for sex discrimination is that the FBI can have different fitness requirement for male and female recruits. Ditto for armed forces, and for laws relating to pregnancy.

EV batteries are becoming STRUCTURAL, meaning they make up the core vehicle shell of the car, use hardened steel reinforcement and weight 1-2K pounds. They're also super dangerous if punctured. It would be easier to steal the whole vehicle than to steal the battery alone.

I'd go so far as to say that an EV is a glorified "battery with wheels" since the actual drive components are a minority of the weight/complexity/cost. If a criminal can steal the whole EV, they will, if they cannot then stealing the battery alone isn't realistic.
As the handy abstraction would have a significant performance overhead, a low-level language would not want to use it everywhere or even as a default - especially in the third-party libraries you'll be using everywhere.

The handy abstraction is not a win-win, it's a tradeoff of better security and dev. experience versus performance and control - and a key point is that people who have explicitly chosen a low-level language likely have done so exactly because they want this tradeoff to be more towards performance or control. If someone really wants to get better security and dev. experience at the cost of performance, then why not just use a high-level language instead of combining the worst of both worlds where you have to do the work in a low-level language (even if partially mitigated by these handy abstractions) but still pay the performance overhead that a high-level language would have?
