They would have a big impact if they were used on something productive, but that is far from guaranteed. The money wasn't stolen from the community children's fund, which would naturally affect a lot of people. They were stolen from 14 investors, so the most likely alternative is that they would simply be used to further enrich those 14. Obviously, this is still wrong, but the number of people harmed in society is far fewer.
This is terrible for innovation. Good lord I despise when governments meddle in things they clearly know nothing about.

There is nothing simple in data moving. Problem is that it can be abstracted away so you do not have to worry about it. Out of sight out of mind. Example - majority of the CPU area is devoted to data moving problem (cache, branch prediction, out of order execution, register renaming). The same is happening on other levels of the stack (OS, network and so on).
There are other renewables, and other green sources of energy beyond wind/solar. The elephant in the room that Europe is slowly starting to look at is nuclear.

It’s not identity politics to call out blatantly sexist statements that question the intelligence and capabilities of women in this field.

The men aren’t being “sexually discriminated” against, they’re being competed against and that threatens you. Grow up.
It's never a cross examination or contentious from my end.

One recent edited example:

My question: "I'm trying to investigate why a request is failing, I found it in aws, the logs for [service] contain a stack trace up to where the [microservice] request is made, logs are very sparse. Is there a way to get [microservice] stack trace?" [I included links to logs and relevant info]

His response is "Do you want a stack trace on every log? I assume dumping a stack trace is somewhat expensive (though I don't actually know if this is the case) so I would be hesitant to attach one to every log entry"

Did I ask to attach a stack trace to every log? I guided him through the original ask and did receive some help.
If this happened one time it wouldn't register, but his initial response here was very typical, something I got used to.

His approach works for a mission driven products like Tesla or Space-X.

Both were started at the right times yet it’s not obvious whether the engineering would’ve happened without his at-all-costs method and the vision/mission driving it.

Even then everyone understood the enormous pressures the workers were under but one could admire what was being acheived as the trailblazer.

I just don’t see any vision or mission to admire for Twitter especially with Musk at the helm.
I agree. With that said, I do think we are getting there. The pay is becoming more comparable, and I think software engineers are becoming more and more valued in these companies/organizations.
> If a business is, say, 100% white men, it's extremely unlikely for this to have happened purely by chance.

Affirmative action is indeed based on this fundamentally flawed premise. Such statistical bias occurs quite frequently, even in the absence of racism/discrimination. This is, among other things, evidenced by some minority groups being disproportionally successful in many societies. I strongly recommend Thomas Sowell's book on the topic: "Discrimination and Disparities".
The author completely neglects the downsides:

- The compensation absolutely do not match the workload and education required.
- The sheer number of disreputable PIs and their unrealistic goals for software.
- The data is likely questionable and often underpowered.
- Institutional politics. everywhere.
- Marketing ("Curing Cancer"). The role is actually just juggling various bioinformatics file formats.

It’s extremely obvious who was responsible. It’s a testament to how badly US/Western media is beholden to its war machine that there’s any question.

Because not getting to go to see Taylor Swift isn't a 'problem'. Just like not having a diamond isn't a 'problem'.

Not being able to access water or not having a way to communicate with your community is a 'problem' for example, so we should protect those things. The right to see Taylor Swift? I'm not so sure it's a good use of precious government resources.
I think there is a non-zero chance the culprit has already been identified privately, but won't be identified publicly (at least for many years) for political reasons. There is little to no utility in publicly naming and shaming the culprit if the culprit is your ally or partner; doing so won't bring the pipe back, and would weaken public support for the alliance. Besides a principled commitment to truth for the sake of truth, there would be no rational reason to publicly blame your ally even if you're certain your ally did it.

If you can't get anybody to read your proof, does it demonstrate anything?

Fred Moxley has (what seems to me like, but what do I know?) a nice proof of the Riemann conjecture that he got by quantizing the problem. But nobody will read it, because mathematicians don't like that method. It might be right or not, but it anyway doesn't tell you anything surprising about prime numbers, so nobody can be bothered.

No, that's correct. Checkers is solved; there is an algorithmic solution. Chess and Go have computer systems that exceed human performance, but are not solved.
One issue discussed a lot here which I think is not mentioned in the article (I read it really quickly) is that those are not really helping the environnement. Those e-scooters have ridiculous lifetime (creating trash and pollution to build new ones) and also they (used to?) give money to anyone who would charge the scooter (so they don't have to hire someone to do it). The result that some people were doing it for a living, using a truck containing a diesel generator to go charge all the scooter in the city, which probably made the overall carbon footprint of using scooter even worse than a car...
In general salaries would be lower than what you can get in a standard software role. Some of the ones on that list allow remote work, others are more limited. The tradeoff is that you're working towards the betterment of humanity. Whether or not that's worth the tradeoff for you is a personal decision.
Those hypothetical scalpers will indeed have control of the pricing, but they will have no customers willing to pay what they have paid, because all customers willing to pay more will have already bought tickets.

In theory, there may have been holdouts who wanted to get a better price, as you are suggesting, who then turn to the scalpers. Those holdouts are either (a) irrational for not bidding the price they were willing to pay or (b) not actually willing to pay whatever price the scalpers want to get.

By taking this strategy of picking a demand level X and buying out all the tickets once the supply is below that level, scalpers are virtually guaranteed to lose money.

For most goods, there is no demand that is independent of price.

Thanks for a big nothing burger Sweden. We knew this was sabotage from the beginning. Swedish investigators said at the beginning of this that they were not disclosing some sensitive information discovered. That told me enough. Look at who benefits from removing Russia's main leverage over Europe and the ability to export more LNG to Europe and become their new dependency for energy.
I charge a high rate not because I need the money but because I need to stop people from wasting my time. I’ve worked at these places before where they exploit your altruism and dedication to craft to extract more work out of you for less. Concretely one of the places refused to hire a frontend dev to help so I got stuck wasting time churning frontends. Charging more encourages them not to do that.

This post really is a scathing look into a deep hostility I would not expect from HN readers.

Very few conversations about personal choices that could make a difference.
At least one of the entities on that list is a nonprofit academic institution. Expecting pay equal to the standard software industry is misguided.

Whether or not that's a tradeoff you're willing to make is another question.

Genomics is still predominantly a research field. In research, software development and hence software engineers are not valued much, because technologies change rapidly, new ideas come every day, so it is about being able to hack together a workable solution enough to write a paper or get funding.

Software development becomes important when certain data processing methods have been standardised, eg mapping sequencing data to mouse or human genome, differential expression analysis, pca visualisations.
If all OP wanted to do was provide downloadable spreadsheets I don’t believe he would have asked the question.

> That said: a lot of the comments are spot on. You're working in a field where the hard scientists and business people rule and you're a helper

This definitely was the culture when I started working in the field 6 years ago. However, the culture has shifted (at least where I work) to where biologists and engineers are equal partners that work together on solving these problems. For those organizations that are not this way, I think they’re going to have to change if they want to innovate.
Well, I still read it multiple times a week :). I wasn't raised in a Christian home but I discovered Christ while I was in college. As many people in this age group, I was trying to make sense of my surroundings and experiences. I read a number of writings during this time and was exposed to different world views in a World Religions class if IRC. I read some eastern philosophy, Zen, Confucius etc. But I found the Bible provided the best description and explanations of what I experienced and witnessed in the world. I also think it provided the best description of our existence, meaning and purpose as a species. However, there was no one big Aha moment or anything like that. It was a gradual process and took many years to come to this opinion.

As a Christian, I believe there is always something to be learned from the Holy Scriptures and that the words themselves have significance beyond just letters on a page. The apostle John started his gospel with these words: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." I take this quite literally.

How has the Bible changed my life? I believe the commitment to Christ's teachings and the seeking of the Holy Spirit's counsel is the primary reason I've been happily married for 25 years and have been blessed with two sons that have grown into very lovable and capable young men themselves. Obviously it's not all been a bed of roses, marriage and life is hard at times. But the teachings, hope and promise provide by Christ Jesus has assisted me immensely in navigating life's hurdles.

Google Genomics is now aka Google Cloud Life Sciences. There's also their sister company Verily that operates in this space.
Ok, but why is the pool of engineers 80% men when the population is 50% women?

I'll offer one explanation: because the women that go into the field get treated like shit and burn out. There are many documented examples of tech businesses with systemic sexual harassment problems[0]. If your business takes steps to ensure its corporate culture does not fall into that same trap, then women who don't want to be sexually harassed will flock to you. That's how you get 50% women in a sexually-discriminated field: do the hard work of actually rooting out sex pests.

The discussion here is whether replacing the cheap, reliable Russian gas that Europe had access to before the US blew up Nordstream (a de facto attack on Germany) with “renewables” is a REALISTIC solution in the near to medium term. It is certainly not, and I say that as an committed environmentalist. It’s pretty disgusting for Americans to be pontificating this way, when we all know what would happen if their own energy prices had tripled in less than a year.
Talking and hearing about the US is fun but I mainly come here for the tech news.
I'd love an extension like this to remove useless news from my favorite newspapers. Anything related to murders would be a great start.

For me, by far the most impactful is: The logistics planning software used by a major sports league in the US. The package I worked on allowed management to comb through a full season schedule, fine-tune a myriad of different associated weights, and push it through a specialized simulated annealing program to yield the schedule for every player, referee, etc for the season. The league went from manually producing perhaps 2 to 3 full schedules a season, then having to almost immediately scramble to handle exceptions, to producing hundreds.

Twenty years between various agencies and contract terms, I've worked countless projects, and the ones which improved business processes, where end users lives were made much easier, were the most rewarding. Conversely, most of the 'fun' projects were almost immediately obviated (I'm looking at you, Silverlight).

> It’s especially absurd that Russia was ever even considered a suspect.

So I don't see how it's absurd to suspect a repeat of the nearly exact same situation where the only common party is Russia.

The fact that you think it's absurd without looking into facts either makes you naive or worse.

I’m frankly just disappointed. There’s a comment in this thread questioning how much they had to “dumb down” the interviews for women. It’s fucked up in this field and it frustrates me to no end because the women I’ve worked with are far and away some of the best and they constantly deal with this attitude. It’s not okay and the bar should be higher for this orange website.

As an exercise, I've implemented a basic (and very hacky) UI for tailscale(1) as an xbar [1] plugin: https://gist.github.com/notpushkin/aa36c2d34e3e7180aa66ed2a5...

tailscaled isn't particularly stable on my machine though, so I guess I'll roll back to the closed source version. However, this could be a starting point for a Linux client!
I basically agree. The point of punishment is to maintain Trust and standards in business dealings. This is very important.

That said, is a different argument and the idea that this specific Financial crime hurt lots of people throughout society. Nobody outside the investors was or will be harmed as long as trust and standards are maintained.

By comparison, I think the social harm would have been far greater if she defrauded $1 from every working american instead, instead 140M from 14 investors
