Disagree. There can be multiple optional things, where nobody is expected to have all of them, but everybody should have some of them.

It’s a way to expand the pool. Startups especially need a lot of diversity of skills, so rather than specifying the one ideal set of skills/experiences, it’s better to be open to a wider range and then use what you’ve gained from this hire to inform what you need in the next.

Rigid checkbox criteria makes sense in dinosaur companies, but not small ones.
Oof, I don’t think that’s intentional. I’ve passed it on to the frontend team!

Show me 1 conventionally conceived of "endurance athlete" amateur mid of the pack or professional who has adapted this? Marathon, Iron man etc. Just 1. I'd love to see if anyone got a result in a marathon etc that was like a pb or close to a pb this way. I highly doubt.
The reason they use the 80% mark is that Li-ion batteries tend to rapidly degrade after they reach that point, so once they get there it's best to replace them.
I'd be curious whether DEI efforts can actually reproduce this, or whether this is just cargo cult wishful thinking.

For instance, maybe companies with a really relatable mission or an open mind at the executive level also tend to attract diverse candidates. Those former factors would explain both the success and the diversity.

If there were a study looking at companies with poor performance metrics who turned things around by pumping their diversity numbers, I'd be really interested in seeing that (since it'd show a nice casual link.)

Without that, it seems plausible that successful companies are the ones able to engage in DEI efforts, even if they don't improve performance, or that minority candidates prefer working at successful companies.

> Say it actually took off and had as much content as Youtube.

This is a huge assumption. There are two moats around YouTube right now:

1. Discovery processes and sharing. You claim an assumption that these exist, and specifically don't want to talk their details, so I'll skip details on this as well.

2. Ad revenue share. For good, bad, and sometimes very ugly, a lot of content just doesn't exist without YouTube's monetization. You assume "no ads" and don't mention a business model, how do you expect to pay for content?

Restricting to just the consumer standpoint, the answer is easy: if an app had the content I wanted but a better ad experience than YouTube I'd be very easy to convince to use it. I don't even need "no ads", I don't mind advertising paying for or subsidizing content I watch. (I grew up with broadcast TV.) I do wish there was less tracking involved (and find targeted advertising creepy/terrible) and I do wish for some sort of curation of advertising again. (A broadcast TV station would never interrupt the middle of a 5 minute music video to play an hour long infomercial. A broadcast TV station would also have a lot to answer from, including the FCC, if they allowed nazis and other hate groups to buy hour long infomercials.)

All the other stuff mostly doesn't matter to me as a consumer. I don't care about traffic anonymization via onion routing or if it is peer-to-peer or centralized. I don't care about cryptographically verified channels or censorship resistance. I care about filters obviously, but I only care if they are crowdsourced in so much as I distrust a lot of the biases of ML-based recommendation algorithms and would maybe prefer something with more paid humans (labor) involved.

All I care about as a consumer is does it have the content I want to watch. So indirectly I care a lot about the business model of whatever it is. If it is monetized well and attracts the creators that I care about, then I use it, it's as simple as that. The tech doesn't matter. You just need to be very careful in assuming you can beat today's YouTube on attracting creators given their moats.

The way you trained was almost exactly the same as the 3x 45 minute group.

What you call a 45 second sprint at the end is similar to what trained runners do after a run called strides. It has no similarity to the sprint training group.

You did not say how many weeks you trained. It was roughly 20 miles per week which yes is enough to do a half-marathon in 1:40 for an average 35 year old man which is considered the "open" category (though races also do age-groups)

Had you increased to 40 miles per week you could have done a marathon in around 3:25

Running has been studied for so many decades by so many people that it's almost a science with very few surprises unless someone turns out to be exceptionally genetically gifted.

Fair point, but workplace discrimination is already under the purview of the HR department. Before there was ever a DEI department HR covered the same stuff. In fact, in many orgs DEI is a subset of HR.

The real question is there any evidence of DEI departments effecting change beyond what was already supplied previously. Anecdotally I haven't seen it, nor have I seen any studies backing it up (please supply those if you know of them). The only thing I have seen come of it is additional training every year which can be basically summed up to "play nice with others".

Well, dang. I have been maintaining a Twitter bot that uses the ADS-B Exchange API, but paused development after Musk started going after ElonJet aggressively and Twitter began to ban aircraft tracking accounts. I just restarted work this week to implement Mastodon support, but looks like I need to pause again to reassess what ADS-B data source(s) to support.

I would really like to know the story behind this acquisition as my previous interactions with the ADS-B Exchange owner (edit: after checking back in on the discord maybe this person was not the owner, but one of the main team members) on discord were positive and they seemed like a very passionate and principled person. This was like more than 1 year ago now, though. My suspicion is that the loud, polarized public discourse around the ElonJet controversy, which led to ADS-B Exchange getting banned from Twitter, may have caused them to reassess their priorities. I hope they are not under any kind of legal threat from Musk.
Its amazing how these corporations act as if all that they did during this period won't be remembered by the tech sector or the general Internet market. Solely the accounts of the event like the linked article will stay forever on the Internet and taint the names of the corporations who spent people like spare change during the downturn. And the names of their execs.

Of course, investors don't give a damn about that. If these corporations that laid out so many people, tainted their names at the cost of losing goodwill and even causing the laid off people to create many startups that will compete with them and eat their lunch end up destroying themselves like this, the investors will just jump to whatever is the hottest thing at that moment. Talk about capitalism creating all the wrong incentives.

Yeah, that is an issue a friend of mine has right now with his team. He randomly ended up as the manger of the data analytics team despite no analytics background (or really much programming background either). And one of his main frustrations is that the analysts do not understand the data model or the business. Before he became their manager his team just took report requests and then wrote some SQL and delivered some numbers. Without understanding what those numbers were supposed to mean or the quirks of the underlying data.
Great questions. I have never run a non profit myself (but run several small business ventures, real estate investments, have previously owned and sold a small technology company), but view it as an optimal structure to support technology services like this that are intended as a public good or utility versus something that is going to get flipped to someone that is going to extract the value out of it (investors like PE and similar). I want to build where there can be no rug pull for stakeholders.

1. The same they got out of ADS-B Exchange: open aviation data. I would work with the Internet Archive to archive batches of the data stream on a cadence. We should never be able to take historical data away. It is yours, forever.

2. I would pay for a dedicated server out of my pocket to bootstrap, with the eventual goal of accumulating enough donations to have a very small non profit investment account that would throw off just enough returns to pay for the server(s) or a rack of equipment at a colo indefinitely (I’m partial to Hurricane Electric but any reasonable priced vendor will do). Again, strong governance around this as a US non profit to demonstrate transparency and efficiency. I would also accept equipment, colo, and bandwidth donations from folks who could ensure consistency, quality, and continuity of the resource.

3. We would rely primarily on volunteers, similar to OpenStreetMap, who runs lean fiscally speaking [1]. The Internet Archive runs their servers for 5-7 years (per u/jonah-archive's ops talk), so I would shoot for a long bare metal depreciation schedule, a time series database stored in Backblaze B2, high level just an efficient use of capital for the technology components. I suppose I'm going back into an on call rotation. C'est la vie. Automate All The Things.

Poke holes in my thoughts, that's how they improve. I would also be interested in expanding into the AIS space; it's all UDP packets from SDRs coming into a software router and logger (with a visualization and admin frontend).

That's a fallacy, those CEO's wouldn't be elsewhere making more, otherwise they would. That's just a trick they use to convince people of supporting with (in most cases tax free donations) their ridiculous life style. Another reason I prefer donating directly to people who need it, or volunteering. A person who is making 3M/year in an organization, is not the "sacrifice myself for the people"

I see what you're saying about syntax and type-checking being separate stages, but they're both compile-time (or do we call it transpile-time?) errors enforced by the language. Either way, I can't copy-paste working JS code into TS, which is what matters.

There's probably another "asterisk" for this, but the other thing is how TS in Node by default won't allow `require` (vanilla NodeJS), only `import` (ESM).

It’s illegal not to file your taxes but companies still hire accountants to make sure they do it, and also use strategies above and beyond the minimum prescribed by the law that benefit the company.

Seems to make sense that DEI departments could fill a similar role - make sure the company is in compliance with the law and then look for ways to go above and beyond it that benefit the company’s position in the market for talent.

While there are 100% are issues and abuses of power due to how DEI is managed in the private sector, I find it annoying how these threads in HN always throw the baby out with the bathwater.

There are successful diversity hiring programs and proactive management, but you don't hear about those as much because outrage sells. Hell, people from my background were underrepresented when I was working on the Hill and I wished there was more DEI in staffer hiring.

The bigger issue in my honest opinion is how companies treat HR as an amaphorous cost center. It's the same as non-tech companies that underinvest and treat IT like shit because they don't understand the function.

The lack of mutual respect across different domains and roles here on HN is jarring and honestly very toxic. This is sophmoric commentary that I honestly could simulate with a Naive Bayes language model (not even ChatGPT).

Not quite true: the pro se litigant will often get every possible consideration from the court.

As an example: the person who ran over all those people in Kenosha at that parade. Do you really think that if I went into a courtroom as an attorney and refused to wear a shirt, or made a fort out of boxes, that the judge would “not even mention it”?

If you do I encourage you to watch some in-court hearings. They are typically open to the public and you will surely find pro se litigants being extended every possible courtesy to their rights as Americans.

Not the original poster... but wanted to answer anyway.

I have ADHD, my washer sending a push notification to my iOS devices (I have LG ThinQ enabled washer/dryer) means I have an alert in a place where I am already looking for alerts that my washing machine is done and I should go move the clothes into the dryer.

Before I enabled push notifications for this, my laundry could sometimes sit in the washer for days, getting all nasty and moldy and needing another cycle to be run just to get them clean before throwing them into the dryer.

That is why I need to know that the cycle is finished.
This is another good example of how our CPUs are in many ways specialized C processors. C is a structured programming language that uses functions, so our processors like functions. If you jump out of that paradigm, even if the assembly instructions nominally seem to allow it, you'll run more slowly. Even when it seems like what you're offering is a shortcut to the CPU.

This is neither praise nor criticism of the current CPU paradigm; it's just something you need to understand if you want the best performance out of our machines.

A different paradigm, like a concatenative-paradigm-based program, might naively be more inclined to compile into code that looks more like what the author tried, jumping between implementations of the stack operators without it actually being "functions". One can imagine processors that would be "happier" with that, and would be bothered by things that look like function returns more. But that's not the CPUs we have.

>Presumably this print out includes an instruction manual for using FreeBSD, opening a terminal on a FreeBSD machine, launching a shell inside a jail, and accessing this "user friendly" software

I never said, nor meant to imply, that it was user friendly. But, yes, showing a moderately intelligent person how to access it is easily done with a set of instructions, maybe a single printed page. Not "user friendly," but certainly usable. If I am a smoldering corpse, they can rescue whatever is stored there relatively easily. Since the software is ridiculously stable, the instructions will be equally stable.

It's not a universal solution by any means. I tossed it out there as an alternative. I'm sure you really love 1Password, and if it works for you, fantastic. I'm distrustful of any service in general, but maybe 1Password is 100% rigorous in all of their security measures. I have no idea, as I don't work there, or know anybody who works there. I'm relatively confident in mine, as I built every step of it (which wasn't much), and it has very few moving parts.

> I’m sure LastPass tried really hard to protect data. But everything fails eventually.

Sure, but password managers available over the internet are especially vulnerable. They're major centralized honeypots given the data they handle, and leaks are probably worth millions on the black market. To think that any company could handle this responsibility is naive at best.

Password managers are an entire section of software that shouldn't exist. They're too confusing and a chore to use for the general public, even if users are educated about their importance, and would like to secure their accounts. Many non-technical people don't bother or care at all.

The way forward is to get rid of passwords altogether and make passwordless authentication the norm. There have been some usability improvements in recent years in this area, to the point where it could reach mass adoption, but the change needs to start with developers.

I was a LastPass user for many years, many years ago, and trusted them, but have since moved all my passwords offline. And I would very much like not to worry about maintaining accounts, updating passwords, etc. Ugh, what a chore.
