my first industry job was in 1995. after the interview process the hiring manager came in with an offer. it was 4x what i was currently making. after i accepted I had a half day with the admin.

she showed me the very nice hotel that they would be putting me up at until I found a place. no hurry really. one of my new coworkers was still there after a few months.

we went back to the office for tastings. coffee. wine. beer. whiskey. it was important that they knew my tastes and would have my preferred food and drink on hand.

i know that was the point - but I certainly felt like a rock star.
Solar seems to be a good option that people like. Make it easier and cheaper to deploy and you’ll get massive uptake. “Would you like energy independence and lower energy costs for the next 20+yrs?” “Yea please”

Replacing our trips to the gas and service stations with an electric car seems like an easy pill to swallow. standardizing chargers is a great first step. Now make them first class citizens and people will be happier with them. There has been phenomenal demand for electric fords and Tesla seems to be on a roll selling the things.

Reducing methane emissions from cattle by using a dietary supplement is an easy option too. Make the technology available and incentivize it’s use and everyone will do it.

It seems a combination of policy and technological innovations could really move climate change mitigation efforts forward. Use policy to make the best thing the cheapest thing and you win. And by win I mean “win our planet back so our grandkids to inherit a world that’s not a steaming pile of crap”.
Again, I don't understand how this is relevant.

People will oppose merit lotteries, like I said.

And the system that is part of the suit isn't the merit lottery, btw.
Hard for me to buy "selling on Amazon.com" and "fulfilling orders sold on Amazon.com" as separate markets.
It's because no matter how much you tell people "don't see race", it doesn't stop a large percentage from being raised by explicitly racist people, of the "That football player is acting like a n***" type. If the people who understand that racism is bad do nothing, and the racists are the only ones who act on stuff, what do you think happens? You can't counteract racism with silence.
Look at the constant internet censorship pressures in the UK.

The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree unfortunately.
Have you tried to use them as PWAs?
The whole point of DVCS is that everyone who's run `git clone` has a full copy of the entire repo, and can do most of their work without talking to a central server.

Brief downtime really only affects the infrastructure surrounding the actual code. Workflows, issues, etc.
When I visit https://news.google.com I only see very short excerpts like "Supreme Court Rejects Affirmative Action at U.S. Colleges".
> If you want to live in a world where people are treated as individuals and where individuals have equal opportunities, then you have to normalize language and behaviours and create systems that treat people as individuals.

I'd love this world. How do we get poor kids access to the same healthcare as a child (and prenatal) and the same schooling prior to college. It seems like for many Americans this philosophy first applies during college admissions. The first 17 years of everyone's life is apparently equal enough.
Developers want to take their web applications and turn them into desktop applications, not the other way around. The web is the master platform.

Qt has had decades to win over this space and failed. Github slapped Chromium together with Nodejs and took over the entire market of cross platform GUI development overnight.

I might not like it but I understand it completely.

To paraphrase a great Canadian -- Yes they probably do. And don't call me Shirley.
> I have inherited nothing from my parents except financial help with my college education. My dad is utterly in debt from funding his 7 children's college educations...

Contradicting yourself much? The whole point of the previous comment was if your father was black he would be much less likely to get the loan in the first place, which would result in, at the very least, crippling college debt for yourself, which would in turn lead to renting until you're ready to pass the ghost.
Why hire these people then
> studying skews the metric they're using to predict career success

Which is what?
Studying is hard, getting academic success is hard, and there is a positive correlation for both of those and career success, as academic success requires discipline, grit, and hard work, which are all useful for career success.
The open web has deteriorated to such an extent that either information is paywalled or free but has commercial motivations behind it (affiliate links, sponsorships). It turns out there's little free, non-commercial, high quality content on the web.
Most LLMs allow you to specify the temperature parameter that governs the randomness and thus the creativity of the responses. For this experiment I used a very low temperature to ensure consistency for a given prompt.
So as cto did you just totally screw up at hiring, or were you brought in later but somehow don't have authority or ability to fix anything??

IME when I've seen a "1/10th engineer" it's almost always been a total management failure.
> The real question is, who make the odometer change

Better stated, I think, as who knew the odometers were changed out to zero reads, before the vehicles were then driven another ~200k miles.

Trying to craft a scenario where no one at FedEx had any knowledge at all that their well used vehicles suddenly had zero miles seems like low-return effort.

For an even better question, why undertake that specific project (at scale) except to perpetrate fraud?
You work on an EV like any other vehicle.

The short answer to your 2nd question is you learn how and why cars break and people crash into stuff. I have a lot of experience with that.

I've been driving for 47 years and I've never crashed a car, or crashed into one, or had one crash into me, and I've never gotten a ticket.

That's not all luck. It's "defensive driving". To sum in up you have to drive like everyone else is trying to crash into you and the roads are always slippery, and nowadays like your autopilot sucks.
you're the CTO of a company mostly composed of talentless hack engineers that can't code their way out of a paper bag? You're literally the apex engineering lead; that's so... sad. Do something about it.
> Stopping one night on a leg of a long drive, not really doing anything in the room except sleeping for a few hours: hotel/motel tends to win by a long shot.

Unless your co-traveller (spouse or not) snores like a motorcycle and having a room to stuff them in (or escape to) has a ton of value.

> How exactly does present-day affirmative action recompense the victims of racist policies from half a century ago?

Near the top of this thread one specific "how" was discussed.

Legacy admissions are affirmative action which offers preferential access based on ancestry. If your parents, your grandparents, or anyone of their race was (legally at the time) forbidden from attending, how else would you have representation in that process?

Affirmative action is an artificially generated membership in the "belongs at this institution" club for people who may otherwise be excluded.
What journalism? This is a link to reddit
>Imagine my ancestors stole all of your ancestors stuff and I still get to keep it all and anything I've built using it.

Yes, I agree!

But what if my ancestors did not steal your ancestors stuff? Am I still responsible, because I have the same skin color as the folks who harmed you?
Likewise, there's discrimination against women doctors by doctors, nurses and patients. These are two sides of the same shitty coin.
Liberal politicians will pass any law seen as harmful to US tech companies consequences be damned.

It's like California but on a national level, still not quite as insane thankfully.
It's not about ancient wrongs, the wrongs being talked about were happening as AA was implemented. We're talking about things happening in 1971, not just the 1850's.
This is just demagogy. Huge efforts have been put to rescue other people also. Spanish institute of oceanography worked for months to find and recover the corpse of (a non billionaire) little girl kidnapped by her father. Her body was recovered from a bag sank 1000m deep after months of effort. All just to give his family a sort of closure, and not, nobody wanted to know the cost of the submarine robot.

> As usual people in general don't really care about refugees

The resources spent by several countries to rescue immigrants is much, much more higher, by ten nautical miles and sustained since decades so please, stop with the moral BS.

If your point is to stress that billionaire's relatives have more resources and money to hire rescuers, well... yep. Color me surprised.
> Can you go into more details about that? Who exactly are the "creepy ones" he's following on Twitter?

A while ago, someone wrote an article on it: https://theoutline.com/post/6708/marc-andreessen-twitter-fav...

But that's very out of date. I found out (before reading that) by following him, and then for a month my "for you" feed was full of cringy far right accounts (not Robert Spencer-level, but not too subtle either). Just some random ones I saw recently: @FistedFoucault, @empathyhaver, @0x49fa98
Wishful thinking. The Physician club is one of back scratching, not critical evaluation.

The Physician->AMA->ACGME->Physician pipe benefits everyone involved.

What's the worst thing that could happen? Malpractice lawsuits have doctors win 50% of the time when there is strong evidence, and 90% of the time when there is weak evidence.

The rich created a cartel and the feedback loop is already here.
So a follower, not a leader.

Unfortunately Brazil is trying to take that right away, too. Hopefully they fail at doing so.
Meh. We can all keep committing/branching/etc locally. Tons of other options to work around it to keep collaborating, too, but ramp-up time is likely to exceed the duration of the outage. Less "can't" than "isn't worth bothering".

How many other judges routinely cite their own opinion when it was in the minority? I gotta say though I respect the massive the balls to constantly be doing that.
Built Realtime Monitoring Platform
Hey guys, I've spent the last couple months building Logtree. Logtree is a realtime monitoring platform for anyone on your team.

I built it because at the past startups I've worked at, there was nothing reliable that would let us track events in realtime:

- Slack logs are flaky
- Mixpanel has delays
- Log streams are messy
- Sentry/Datadog are only meant for engineers to see

Logtree lets you send and monitor any events in your product in realtime and visualize these events in a dashboard by dragging widgets around like Figma.

You can use it to track anything from simple use cases like getting an alert when there's a sign up to more complex use cases like monitoring for suspected fraudulent activity or overall system health. This also isn't limited to just engineers, the UI is supposed to be friendly enough that anyone on your team can interact with it.

Would love to hear feedback! I made a very generous free tier of 10k events/month.
> Otherwise, you wouldn't see the biological differences in track and field performances between males and females, given how much football relies on physical attributes like size, strength and explosiveness.

I will grant you this. A top-level woman can not out-physical a top-level man.

But, there's more to professional sports than just physicality. You brought up Tennis - but as proven in the various exhibition matches, women have not been cleanly swept as one might expect, and many have won over the years.

This leads me to say that there's room even in the physically intensive sports for both genders, not to mention in the less physically intensive sports.

There are dozens of articles that are just summaries of this reddit thread with no further effort put into them, and that's pretty much the norm these days for a lot of content.
Energy security is going to be a prime concern, not only for nations but individual persons too. Fossil fuels are either going to run out, or carbon emissions are going to be heavily taxed, or both. Nuclear power does not seem to be a favourite or a viable option. Renewables are not getting enough support to make them viable for consumers or industries at scale.

In a decade or 2 an average Jack&Jill family won’t be able to afford living on gas. People would be happy to buy a smaller house [those who can afford a house] with independent solar power. A solar setup is easily capable of generating surplus electricity for a consumption by a family, right from heating to charging their EVs.
Looks like there was an issue ongoing.

We live in a society where it's impossible for any woman to ever even do college football in any serious capacity. Of course there are zero NFL capable women in that system, do you think people just magically and spontaneously arise from the aether fully developed to such capacity?

> overwhelmingly favor rich and white students.

not really. Legacy students have higher SAT scores than non-legacy. https://features.thecrimson.com/2021/freshman-survey/academi...

Whites are also the only ethnic group on Harvard's campus that are underrepresented relative to their percentage of the population. I think to argue that Harvard (I am using them as the example since they are part of the SC case and relevant here) is white supremacist is absurd. It's really quite the opposite.

In fact, I think the SFFA case will reduce the number of white students because Harvard may have been using affirmative action to help poor white students who are the least likely to take test prep[1] and likely didn't attend a high powered high school.

There is absolutely 0 appetite from Harvard to favor white people in any way.

> It's impossible for someone born in 2000 to have been wronged by something done in 1800. Crimes committed during their lifetime? Absolutely, and fix those.

That is disingenuous, Slavery didn't end until the 13th amendment was ratified in 1865 which is 65 years later than you said, but really, slavery was not even a crime.

Systemic abuses continued long after that and even into today. Those are not crimes either...they are written into law like how property taxes are used to fund public education which ensures that people of means get a good education and those that struggle will continue to struggle.

Lynchings, murders, beatings, being forced by gunpoint to not vote...those are crimes and (while they do happen even today) they happened a LOT in the 50's and into the 60's. The people who committed those crimes are grandparents/great-grandparents and a lot of whom are alive today.

Wrongs against minorities are not some long-ago, almost mythical events that we need to just move on from. They are still happening, and they are indicative of a society that values sameness and predictability over the individual rights and freedoms of the people.

That being said, giving a leg-up to a minority applicant over someone else is, in fact, one way to decrease the effects of the abuses that were experienced.
The solution to this problem is for Google, Facebook and other web sites that link to news 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. In other words, block links to any web site that feels entitled to be paid for being linked to.

There are plenty of web sites that will be happy to take the free traffic and it isn't like it matters to Facebook's bottom line if their mostly elderly users are arguing over some article from Fox News (which supports the journalism cartel bill in the US) or some article from Breitbart (which opposes the journalism cartel bill). I imagine it won't take long for Murdoch to change his mind and stop trying to shake down tech companies for the privilege of sending his media outlets free traffic.
Fun, that's something that black people want, and yet are denied, simply for being black.
Victimhood can be passed through generations if the parents' harm was not remedied. Merely ending harm does not remedy it. If someone is prevented from getting a home loan, job, raise, education, etc. because of racist policies, that absolutely affects the kind of life and opportunities that their children will have.

As an analogy, if I have stolen money from you for years, stopping me from stealing further money doesn't repair the damage I've done. You would rightly expect your money back, or something of comparable value.

Affirmative action programs are specifically designed to seek out and uplift people who have been generationally affected in that way. It recompenses them by giving them job/education opportunities that they would likely have had if their parents (and their parents, etc.) weren't artificially held back.
It wasn't that they just said that they looked different obviously, what a ridiculous assertion . They seeded talking points of racial supremacy amongst them to divide them when before they saw themselves more unified as workers with their race not having inherent merit.
Wow. So cool.

At least its equitable (based on value of output), ofc there are legacy issues as well.

These industries just have a different mechanism, here is an example: the worlds 10,000th best tennis player probably makes $0 dollar from tennis, and the world's top 0.1% of pharmacists make maybe twice as much as the 50th percentile.

Some industries you either are the top 0.01% and make millions; in some industries being average means a decent living.

Software has long transitioned from one end of that spectrum to something more towards the middle. Super star developers simply aren't productive enough for the demand of software

Good. Although well intentioned, this is racism and racism has no place in higher education.
