Isn't this creating a correlated risk for yourself? In the case of some giant negative disruption to the journalism industry, you now might both lose your job _and_ have your investment disappear. I thought that generally speaking, the advice was not to directly invest in the industry you work in for exactly this reason.
Equal proportion? No.

Equal opportunity to participate, yes.

It starts with a basic belief—do you agree that US Society is disadvantageous for certain racial demographics?
> That would be a great outcome for Google wouldn’t it? Just cover national news using paid reporters and capture all of the ad revenue.

They already capture most of the ad revenue.

And Google is notoriously bad when it comes to paying humans to investigate issues, as shown by their absent customer service.
> Which is why I never understand complaints against eBay "snipers", who bid in the last couple seconds of an auction.

If there were only one instance of the thing you wanted, then there would indeed be no reason to complain about snipers. But if there's multiple different auctions, each selling one of the thing you want, you can't bid on a second one until you're outbid on the first one, or you'll risk getting stuck having to buy them both. Snipers thus result in you being "locked out" of the other auctions for way longer than necessary.
> to limit links to web sites that agree that the free traffic they're receiving from extremely popular web sites is sufficient compensation for linking to them.

The problem with this is there's no direct relationship between the two. So Google and Facebook can arbitrarily decide to "punish" a paper by demoting or flat out filtering their content.

These platforms aren't doing this out of the goodness of their hearts. They put this content on their platform because it made their platform more popular and provided value for them, and now that they've monopolized user attention, they're directly weaponizing it.

> There are plenty of web sites that will be happy to take the free traffic

So.. it's a race to the bottom. News sources are no longer selected based upon quality or user demand, but on their willingness to be used by billion dollar tech giants. I'm sure the quality of the reporting will be identical.
So these news orgs are getting free advertising, and they want to be paid on top?
> unreasonably exert power to lessen competition.

The unreasonable part is where the monopoly power comes in.

Companies lessening competition happens all the time, it’s the monopoly aspect that triggers antitrust.
> If the claim had been "American universities are better able to drain talent and fund research", I'd agree. In terms of educational quality, it's questionable

Education quality at most top universities is middling, they’re designed for smart people who will reach for knowledge. Being around the best people drained from around the world provides fertile ground for that.
Nope. No API key needed since we mostly serve our own Gorilla models.
N'ah, I remember that era. Search engines were basically worthless. Google was the first one to get the formula right.

Before Google, search engines were basically just doing keyword matching and so you'd have the issue that every search for a programming topic landed you on expertsexchange. Google was the first to start leveraging click-away signal, and they were able to successfully down-sample keyword-farmers like that one and their ilk.

With things like computer graphics you're competing with a very different pool of applicants than you likely were before. People with PhD's and Masters in related fields. I have found success with positioning myself as someone who works on the edges of multiple domains. So if you were a web developer before it would be at an intersection of web development and computer graphics which could be web gl or operationalizing graphics applications for web or cloud integration. This won't work very well at larger companies that have a lot of clear boundaries between positions, but it will work at startups where boundaries are less clearly defined and people wear multiple hats. In summary, try startups and position yourself at the intersection of multiple domains to get your foot in the door.
React can still be viewed as functional programming if you assume Hooks operate in/on/with an unnamed/untyped monad. ("Pure" of course depends on your take of monadic programming from there.) It might be nice if that monad were better typed and/or at least parametric (reflected in input or output parameters), but it all exists in an untyped language to begin with, so it is mostly fine how it works right now. Mostly.
What about several thousand engineers for Twitter then? =)

Regarding WhatsApp, I would say that 35 engineers is OK. Not so much, but not so few also.

I doubt that's just "don't mention a competitor" (though that was likely a factor too). Saying "two" is an important point to emphasize: if this was a national law written to target just two companies, saying so makes the sentiment clear. And on top of that, I have the impression that Meta/Facebook has much lower public approval than Google.
>But at this point we don't even have a working, and reasonably supported RISC-V SBC.

VisionFive2 (based on JH7110) is as close as it gets, and much better than your average ARM SBC, as the SoC and SBC vendor itself works on upstream support[0].

As of recently, there's even UEFI. A work in progress, but already capable of booting Linux.

The perpetual "energy jobs" rallying cry used to justify subsidizing the carbon industries is perplexing to me. If we were on-shoring the manufacturing of heat pumps, water heaters, stoves, solar panels, high efficiency windows, etc. and subsidizing the installation of the same, we'd be swimming in the respectable blue-collar work that Boomers enjoyed.
I guess I'm not following how people avoid the most time-consuming ones while traveling simply by picking a hotel over an AirBnB. Gotta do laundry (or pay to have it done). Gotta shop for food, cook it, and clean up after (or pay someone else to do that for you). Those aren't an AirBnB vs hotel thing.

The ones we do avoid by staying in hotels or AirBnBs—either—are things like dusting, whole-house floor cleaning, laundering bedding (entirely, in all but one case, and in that exception we only had to do like 5% of the work, it took less time than stopping to refuel the car on a long drive, or many airport security lines), cleaning bathrooms, weeding landscaping beds, mowing the lawn, stuff like that. We get that benefit in both. Basically the same thing you'd get having a once- or twice-a-week cleaning service and a lawn service.

I get that maybe some AirBnBs really do have absurd "chore lists", but nearly all the ones I've stayed at, we're talking like 15 minutes of effort for a whole week, maybe, that might have been avoided by staying in a hotel. Basically, take out the trash and don't leave dirty dishes scattered around the whole house. It's super not a big deal.
> tribal massacres in Africa, where the victims and oppressors a) look exactly the same

To you. There's almost certainly more genetic difference between two people randomly selected from two African tribes than two people randomly selected from different self-identified racial groupings in a Western country. And a much longer history of conflict between tribes vs races. I'd note the fact this is true goes some way towards explaining why Africa suffers the levels of violence and poverty today that it still does.
As for the rest of your post, while AA clearly is a strong form of racial discrimination that does little to help us achieve an ideal world where "race" is no longer a thing, it's also a policy with an underlying philosophy of "let's provide help to other people different in appearance/ethnic backgrounds" , which is rather obviously a massive improvement on "let's actively discriminate and/or commit violence against such people". And hopefully a step towards a policy of "let's help other people when they need help, regardless of their appearance or ethnic background".
Reasonable argument, I like it, however would add a bit of salt:

I've seen several times so far that people maintaining things are actually doing a much better job, while those who were granted honor of doing a new thing because hey they are "pros". And once they did the prototype, they are _considered_ even more "pros", because hey, they wrote it. The people who rethought and rewrote the thing later were real makers, but didn't get the appreciation of "pros".

The worst thing is that "pros" status keeps working for itself, even while delivering worse job. I wouldn't have a problem if the system could fix itself over time.

The transition from a new growth industry to a mature industry under conditions of nearly interest free loans and low aggregate consumer demand. In this essay, it seems clear that the kinds of designs matter a bit, but lots of companies choose different technologies and practices and survive.

The obvious conclusion is that market conditions matter more than the technology stack for a space of "reasonable" choices about it. I expect, until the next big thing hits, the market conditions to be dominated by consolidation. Bitcoin was supposed to bit it, but that was a scam. VR was also a scam (Zuck tried to sell us non-existent real estate), but maybe it'll turn into something more useful soon.

This one is tougher with wealth disparities, because the wealthy will always have more opportunities and programs available to them. Public funding for after school programs and camps.

Democrats did a good thing with the child tax credit that lifted millions of kids out of poverty. They of course botched it, per usual, by placing a time limit on it, and now it's expired.
I dunno, that isn't terrible.

The terrible part is where if you pay for a commercial license to use it in a proprietary application, you can't stand within 50 feet of the LGPL version.

It probably depends on all kinds of things - like the materials involved and the nature of the overall structure. I could see there being "settling" events where a structure is stronger overall after a bunch of noises but I suspect that doesn't apply to a carbon fibre cylinder.
> This means you have to wait until the auction finishes, before you can bid at another auction... It is only worth bidding in the last 30 minutes.

This is definitely true if there's more than one item listed, but it's still got nothing to do with sniping. It's just the fact that eBay auctions usually last for 7 days.

I figure that there is no binary distinction between what is ancient and what is modern enough to matter.

Keep in mind that the layoffs earlier this year have still had a huge impact on the job market for software engineers. Many companies moved their hiring bar higher and have gotten more selective over their canidates. 2 years ago, if you pretty much had a pulse you could have jumped fields (yes, some jobs did require specialized knowledge).

Many Canadian companies are not doing "interesting" things so I can understand the perspective of being at the long end of the funnel on sprint tasks for a product that might not be getting huge marketing wins. You've already taken the first step at figuring out what's interesting to you. As others have said, start learning about some topic areas find the meetups over those topics and start networking and getting to know people in the field.

Lastly, interviewing is a skill.
No changes, I'm a happy Clojure user. Long-term stability is one of its selling points.
Canadian here as well.

Your assumption that traffic is generated by content (alone) is incorrect. Google is certainly profiting, but the news publisher will struggle to find readers without Google. It's a symbiotic relationship, but Google is doing the REAL work. If you don't believe that, build your own website and try to get people to read your content. Believe me, content doesn't matter as much as reach.

If you want to support Canadian news outlets, then go to their websites directly. Let's see them stand on their own without Google, and see who provides the most value.

This law will kill Canadian news outlets. No one pays for their content when there's a global ecosystem of stuff to subscribe to. That's capitalism. Good riddance.

No, the point is I have no traceable lineage to a hoard of wealth amassed by slave owners 6 generations ago that is filling the family coffers as people seem to be implying is true of all white Americans. My family immigrated over here 3 generations ago from shit conditions in a war torn Europe.

Furthermore you have no idea my family’s situation and whether my father would or would not have been actually more likely than a black man in a similar situation to “get a loan” (he didn't even get loans like you suggest). And generally your comment doesn’t even apply to my situation it’s cant be reduced in the way you’re trying to argue it can. Also student loans ensure that there isn’t discrimination in who can take out a loan for college. Arguably my dad paid a tax because he didn't have use take out loans and help pay that way.
Speaking for myself, on the merits, Google's position makes more sense. On an emotional level, I dislike media news companies companies more than I dislike Google...which is a lot.

I mean, he's opened up the market for listening in general, but I'd still count his show as being low quality. Just letting cranks speak without interruption isn't journalism. The long-form podcasts I listen to are from professional journalists who do weeks of prep, gather sources, check facts, challenger assertions and try to present an accurate picture. Rogan just lets people lie and theorize and push agendas and he goes along with whatever so long as it's funny or engaging.

Walmart has been working on their logistics. I haven't quite figured it out yet - most things in store they will just deliver from the store, ask for tip, etc. Some things are only available for 'shipping', but that shipping is often same day delivery, and it's apparent someone just brought it from the store. And some things are 1 day shipping, where it looks like they're moving items from a WM a couple hours away to your local store, then delivered as described above. In the latter two, tips are not even asked for.
> It feels like talking down to someone, not wanting to accept their answer.

In Ireland at least, it's not talking down, but rather making the assumption that the other person is refusing only out of politeness, so as not to inconvenience you, but actually would love a cup of tea, because, well, who wouldn't?

If someone refuses tea with a good reason, like they don't drink tea, or they are had too much caffeine already today, or it's too hot, we don't argue with them
What does the "end of the route" look like for you? For me, along with the worsening reliability of prime, it's just getting later and later. When first moved into this address, deliveries were generally before 3. Slowly that became 5, then 7. Finally, to take the absolute piss this has become as late as 10pm, which is not what I call "next day" and at that point I don't really want it delivered at all.
If I ask you what is the best restaurant in town, will you answer that it's your mommas house because there you always eat for free?

Feedback: Would you be interested in learning about engineering leadership?
I am looking for something that will help me understand what engineering leaders in various roles focus on in their day to day (engineering managers, directors, vps, svps, cto, etc)

Many reasons for this - a lot of engineers think about engineering management as a useless layer of bureaucracy. But as an engineer who used to think just like that, I realize how the work I do on a day to day basis has changed tremendously from operating as a software engineer to one of those "managers". Sometimes, I feel like I am doing something really useful for my teams, other times, I feel like a paper pusher.

I also think there is a niche to help engineering leaders excel in their roles, to be more productive, and to learn from others.

I would like to solicit feedback to see if anyone else would like to learn more about the kind of work done by engineering leaders, down to what's inspiring, and what seems frustrating and difficult. I don't know yet how this is going to turn out, but please comment on this post so I can figure out if the idea is worth pursuing.
I mean, not always. It's hard to be super secretive in a live situation, but I'd wager many musicians have successfully hidden their pirated plugins.

A lot of people have been caught anyways. Steve Aoki accidentally left a visibly pirated Sylenth VST in a promo vid, Porter Robinson and Skrillex both got caught with pirated plugins during track breakdowns, Kanye West posted a video with 30 tabs of The Pirate Bay open to download Logic Pro... the list goes on. It was extremely common in the early days of digital music production (and still is today, to an extent), but the backlash has pushed most legit production houses to legit licensed software.

A headline's job is to provide enough information to encourage someone to read more if the story is relevant to them. If someone doesn't want to read on, no value is lost.

News sites could get rid of their <title> and OpenGraph tags, and people could share the raw story URLs without any context. No-one would click through as they'd have no idea where the URL went, though, so news sites provide these titles willingly and have full control over how they write them or what level of detail they share.

The idea that headlines like "Queen Elizabeth has died", "Madonna discharged from hospital", or "Interest rates go up" replace the need for the rest of the story for any substantial part of the target audience seems far fetched to me, and if the meat of the story is given away in the og:description.. they wrote it!
