I'd say "in evey case". And I'd say this happens whether or not there's an explicit hierarchy. Being articulate, or having knowledge or contacts, will get you more attention. The only way to mitigate this is through explicit processes, which have to be regularly reviewed. Meetings have to be chaired strictly. Everybody has to sign-up to the agreed processes.

These processes are time-consuming, and decisions can be slow. It becomes worse the bigger the organisation. I don't know how non-hierarchical decision-making can work in an enterprise where there are significant assets at stake; I've only ever seen it work in voluntary political associations in which non-hierarchical organisation is one of the prime objectives.
If you have type 1, you too can lead a normal life if you don't do any physically demanding activity, eat nothing, have no stress, do not get any common infection like the common cold, do not have any natural metabolic rate changes.. etc etc /s.

There are so many things that affect blood sugar both in the short and long run. T1D treatment is constant correcting for the past hours, not just the moment and future.

I wish it was easier to communicate this to people and journalists, because there are so many misconceptions like the one quoted here that makes T1D an even more invisible disability.
The CSES book and problemset are amazing resources for learning.
I agree. It could also be a helpful tool in teaching us being polite in areas where we've never learned to be polite because nobody taught us. It could also help us in making those opposing views more approachable without forcing us to adopt them.

Sure, it would equalize us to some degree, but there are areas where this can be beneficial to society.

One can also argue that extremists – like some politicians – do benefit so much from this polarity and lack of dialog, that they're only able to pursue their career as a politician due to this. Like some of the members of the German AfD party.

Putting this in contrast to the goals of "hardcore censorship maximalists", I believe that these censorshippers will have a harder time reaching their goals than the destabilizing benefits controversial politicians are reaping with the lack of polite discussion.
I think you've hit the nail on the head with the disdain. I have no real humanities education, did exclusively STEM/languages after the age of 16, but I learnt quickly at university and in my first job that STEM is nothing special, that all disciplines have something to contribute, and that ignoring them is just going to lead to ignorance on my part.

If you study to do software engineering from the earliest age you can, do CS at university, don't join any clubs with others from non-STEM backgrounds, or even go to a STEM only university, then join a tech company big enough that you don't have to talk to non software engineers, you've just spent your life in a bubble. Sadly I think this is too easy to do.
Also from Nick Maggiulli, the author:

> For example, any competent basketball coach could tell you whether someone was skilled at shooting within the course of 10 minutes. Yes, it’s possible to get lucky and make a bunch of shots early on, but eventually they will trend toward their actual shooting percentage. The same is true in a technical field like computer programming. Within a short period of time, a good programmer would be able to tell if someone doesn’t know what they are talking about.

> But, what about stock picking? How long would it take to determine if someone is a good stock picker?

> An hour? A week? A year?

> Try multiple years, and even then you still may not know for sure. The issue is that causality is harder to determine with stock picking than with other domains. When you shoot a basketball or write a computer program, the result comes immediately after the action. The ball goes in the hoop or it doesn’t. The program runs correctly or it doesn’t. But, with stock picking, you make a decision now and have to wait for it to pay off. The feedback loop can take years.

> And the payoff you do eventually get has to be compared to the payoff of buying an index fund like the S&P 500. So, even if you make money on absolute terms, you can still lose money on relative terms.

Metropolis is proof that big, unsubtle Special Effects Pictures go back to the silent era.

The movie's Big Philosophical Statement is people should be nice to each other, but the visual effects were unmatched at the time and hold up well even now, assuming you find a good restoration. It's truly a marvel of its era, in every possible sense.
You're supporting my argument. You're saying it's not in their best interests to maximize outrage.

That's where the goalposts are and that's where they are going to stay: whether or not they seek to maximize outrage.

I caught a bumblebee rolling around in a big red rose once. You'd think the creature was normally down to business, flitting from flower to flower, dutifully pollenating. I've no other way to describe it, this one was rolling around in that rose like a wire-haired terrier in stray fish guts.
Twitter and Reddit are corporations that have to give the outward appearance of civility for advertisers and regulators. I don't think they're sincere. Their business model relies on engagement, and outrage drives up engagement.

> I mean that in general it appears to me that almost everything is produced by a very small number of people. We're no longer living in a world where you need 9 people to feed 10 people.

This is only true for complex positions, where it's almost impossible for management to suss out individual employee's impact. Vast majority of jobs are not like that - they're driving trucks, stocking shelves, processing paperwork in some government job, driving farm equipment, assemblying smartphones, selling retail financial products etc.
I've been thinking about it for a couple of minutes and here's the best description I can make in computer terms.

For sight, it's a cross between off-screen rendering and overlay rendering. It doesn't feel like part of the world around me and it's not part of the streaming surface my eyes see so to speak. It's like a separate, independent layer that gets "halfway-composed", but with a stencil buffer that tells me it's not real. Bandwidth is restricted by focus, I can imagine and animate visually complex scenes but the more constraints I put in the harder it is to keep track of everything and not have a rendering glitch or artifact.

If I want to picture something specifically as part of my field of view (part of the world I'm seeing with my eyes), it's overlaid, but somewhat glitchy or ghostly and skipping frames, like it doesn't belong there.

For audio, I can replay, remix, compose, "infinite jukebox" and essentially deep-fake anything I've ever heard and it's overlaid on top of what I hear. Unlike for visuals there's no stencil buffer, so I can't tell the difference (except that it doesn't correlate with other senses, like loud noises rumbling your body for example). By default it's in mono, making it stereo or directional takes a significant effort. That processor tends to have a mind of its own sometimes and is vulnerable to earworms, like an infinite jukebox that just won't stop playing. Controls can be a bit iffy, like music seeking having trouble if it's not to a position that's correctly aligned or music "skipping" if I have trouble switching over to the next part of the song.

Finally, the act of imagining something is like ordering my subconscious with an AI prompt, but without text. Sometimes it decides to imagine stuff I didn't order or screws up what I've ordered, which can make me twitch a bit if it's something unexpected and that I don't approve of and need to actively suppress. If I'm particularly tired or stressed out, my brain can have trouble distinguishing between a real stimuli and a fake one, so I guess that's effectively hallucinations, but usually like echoes or corner-of-the-eye stuff rather than full-blown lala-land.
Are you perhaps overly pedantic and focused too much on the idea of "maximizing outrage to exclusion of everything else" instead of "finding a local maxima of outrage that doesn't upset our advertisers or actually drive people away?"

The other answer is risk: large, poorly reversible changes can go wrong and there will be blame. Even if there is golden parachute, within the respective social group that matters - and to regulators where applicable.
Most people are convinced to take plea bargains based on primarily circumstantial evidence. The idea that unsigned commits are questionable is really only a cypherpunk fantasy.

My kid is three, and I'm debating whether I should teach him how to ski or not; most of the northern/eastern Bavaria ski areas didn't open at all last winter, and the big one (Arber) barely did. Cross country was a write-off everywhere.

Kitzbühel in early March looked like it usually does in May. I didn't bother trying after that. For those not familiar with skiing in Austria, that is a relatively expensive area that has loads of snow-making capacity.
A skilled acquirer would've interviewed engineering before moving forward, ostensibly on the grounds of "knowing what they're buying". They'd then know who to give bonuses and promotions to, vs those to kick out, from day one.

So what you're saying is deep down they wish they could maximize outrage but they don't because they want to appease advertisers and regulators.

We're not disagreeing. I wasn't speaking to what's in their heart, only to what they actually do.
Almost certain this is because 6Ghz is not supported in Sri Lanka and you need to keep your WiFi radio firmware up to date and ensure the correct country limits apply to it in the correct way.

Poor form from google though. Obviously that country is not high on the bug list.
A company seeking to maximize profit from outrage would keep it up until they engage in behavior that threatens ad revenue, like if they were talking about murdering police officers or something.
Sorry if it isn't clear. Self-hosting is 100% free and without any limitation.

As for the cloud version, I replied here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37808121

TLDR is that the cloud version hasn't been our primary focus yet and we put a high pricing on purpose that is not the final pricing, while we figure out the good pricing strategy. As of today everything is free without any limitation, we don't enforce any limit. And when we rollout the real pricing, it will be more compelling

Hi, I'm Charles and leading the engineering work on Twenty!

We've made the bet to invest on a tailored design for our components. Using an existing UI library is a strength to use robust components and move faster, but I've always struggled to customize it.

There is always a point where you want something custom that is not supported by the library and you start hacking into it.
On previous projects, I've almost always used existing UI libraries.
For Twenty, this is a long term project and the initial burden of creating UI components vs customizing existing ones will be marginal on the long run.

IMO, if you have strong design requirement (and you have enough resources ofc), don't go with UI librairies ; I take as much inspiration as I can from them, I may fork one but I would not hack their API
He's describing killing a thread using a watchdog.

This doesn't limit compute power of the thread.

It's an all or nothing approach; either the thread runs or is killed, which doesn't work (as you point out) for all circumstances where you want to limit the amount of compute pwr a thread can use.
Probably city car congestion fees.

Can you give me example of private highways (like in Texas) in EU? Is it even possible for a private entity to gather land and build road in Europe? As far as I followed (no expert on the topic), it's always state that buys land and then gives concession to the private operator, that's sometimes done for motorways.

Yes commuting by car is common worldwide but there are no megapolises in Europe that have acute public transport issues, example L.A. area.

Nothing is absolute of course, but EU is far more friendly towards non-car usage than USA. You can set a range between best and worst. Worst would be rural mid America and Balkan/eastern parts of the EU, where you need a vehicle 100% if you want to be on time on destination. Best part of the EU would probably be Benelux where you can move with train/bike combination seamlessly everywhere. That part has no analogy in USA.
I'm unsure if you're making some kind of argument or just adding a footnote.

If that's an argument, it doesn't change anything about what I said.
It is mostly a matter of personality. I consider myself very competent, after decades of study, and brilliant, and silencing my competence in order to achieve "labor peace" has been a tough sandwich to swallow.

Like many things in life, there’s a spectrum for this. Some people are aphantasic, or completely lacking in the ability to produce mental imagery. Tell them to visualize an apple, and they can’t. Others have hyperphantasia and can visualize the apple from a gray shade to full vibrancy. I suspect hyperphantasia was a bigger deal in the ole hunter gatherer times and being able to mentally simulate would be important to survival.
It’s getting a single random number. It would be easier, and probably similarly efficient, to use the `random` module instead.
There are 3 kinds of scenarios are serialization bounded:
1. RPC for large microservices application, which are latency&throughput sensitive. The domain model can be huge, serialization will be the bottleneck. Some domain object graph may contains thousands of objects, serializing using jdk will take seconds, and the serialization result may be 50~100kb. Take Order as an example, imagine you need to process an order which has 500 items.

2. Data transfer for bigdata distributed systems: bigdata systems will handle much data, the data needs be transfered between workers. The serialization can be the bottleneck too. Spark RDD，Flink DataStream all have this bottleneck. The use bianry format such as arrow/tungsten format to reduce serialization overhead. But it's limited, sql oritiened, and can't express complex logic such as graph/event/domain.

3. Task scheduling: Image you have a mpp distributed systems, you need to schedule thounds of tasks in a process every sub-seconds. Serialization will be the bottleneck too.

Imo it’s because Sri Lanka has not supported 6Ghz yet. So the phone is not correctly configured to support limited bands it almost certainly needs a firmware update on the radio and some effort to ensure it works in that market… and google just don’t care about a small market possibly.

This was a rewarding activity, say, 40 years ago, when our textbook "Graham and Dodd" was first published; but the situation has changed a great deal since then. In the old days any well-trained security analyst could do a good professional job of selecting undervalued issues through detailed studies; but in the light of the enormous amount of research now being carried on, I doubt whether in most cases such extensive efforts will generate sufficiently superior selections to justify their cost. To that very limited extent I'm on the side of the "efficient market" school of thought now generally accepted by the professors.

When I am still fully conscious but drifting off, with my eyes closed, I can make some image actually replace the "black" we normally see when we close our eyes.

The image just quickly fades in and replaces the "black". This started happening involuntarily a couple of years ago and, shortly after, I could also do it voluntarily. It is not completely effortless and it lasts for a few seconds though.

I did a bit of searching and it seems that this is a normal experience while being in a so-called "hypnagogic state".

So, what you are describing might also be a result of being in that state.

When I am fully awake, a visualization is more like an imaginary overlay on top of whatever my retina is actually sending to my brain (thankfully :P).

This sounds like normal code-rot; code is changed to achieve some particular goal, but budget isn't allocated for the requisite refactoring. I personally prefer that refactoring opportunities are seized whenever they appear; managers with budgets don't usually agree, for understandable reasons. Eventually you end up with a hairball that can't be refactored, and has to be rewritten.

Whether a change should be made at all, whether to go ahead and refactor there and then, or how long to postpone the refactoring, are all business decisions that have to be taken by the person that manages the budget.
I have a new heuristic on this sort of stuff. Assume the rule of 80/20 is accurate. 80% of profits come from 20% of customers, 80 % of usefulwork comes from 20% of employees etc.

but then of the remaining 20%, 80% of that (16%) will come from 20% of the 80% of other workers.

So just two rounds of this and basically 1/3 of your company produces 96% of the results.

this 1/3-2/3 split weirdly seems to correlate with other sources (see Google as it grew compared to established firms of same revenue)
