This is not the average for men in certain socioeconomic classes/age groups/ethnicities. For a non malnutritioned young man, 5ft8in or 172cm is probably going to be on the lower end depending on ethnicity.

This is not to make any judgment on which heights woman should or should not be “filtering”.

If you agree that you have to let them back as per Geneva, then the solution is obvious: let the 7million refugees back to the lands they were ethnically cleansed from in 1948 and onwards.

It's possible the film version of The Shining will have better recognition than the name Stephen King, in just a few decades. That's been the fate of a lot of once-ultra-popular early 20th century authors whose works were made into still-well-known films. Might happen to him, too.
With regards to hiring, this is tricky because all candidates will try to put their best food forward and have a reasonable explanation for everything on their resume. In addition, low performers can look like high performers if their experience was painted by working at places with low expectations. I’ve hired very high performing people who later admitted to being PIPed many times throughout their career but these places were either greatly dysfunctional and/or just not a good fit for them.

Additionally, high/low performance has little to do with competence in the role in my experience and hiring someone truly unqualified is very rare. Some of the lowest performing people (in the long-term) were the sharpest during the interview and I still consider very bright people. Higher performers can run the gambit but a lot of companies miss out of great talent because the prospective employee fumbles over a closed book, live coding challenge.

Lower performers typically have something else going on in their life (relationship problems, housing or living situation stressors, financial stress, family stress, undiagnosed/under-addressed mental health problems, etc) and maybe during another time in their life could very well have been very high performing.

My point is, when dealing with people, it’s complicated.
I've been lucky to work with a series of really good product managers, with one exception who thankfully didn't last long enough to do too much damage (though he did result in me having to attend the single most awkward meeting I've ever had to attend, where right from the top, and throughout the entire hour, he was demonstrating to his skip level manager that he really didn't understand the product at all, and the skip level did).

They help us out a lot by understanding what the customers want, what we can provide, what time lines are sane, handling interacting with legal and business interests galore, and I help them out when they need to check in on technical sides of things. Teams rarely lack for ideas of things they can build, ways they can improve the product or operational experience. A product manager tries to make sure you build the right thing.

I hear they are better communicators too. I see no downsides.
The legal and political concepts of sexual harassment come into play in contexts where women can’t just leave (workplace, industry). I don’t think you get fired or sued or arrested for asking someone out at soccer or pottery class or running club. But women might not want to be in environments where that keeps happening, and those groups might develop taboos in order to survive.
Wait I thought the extreme runaway greenhouse effect had been set aside (read that on here a few years ago IIRC), and it wasn't possible for Earth's atmosphere to turn into Venus'.

Found this from April 2023:

>How a Stable Greenhouse Effect on Earth Is Maintained Under Global Warming

>Plain Language Summary: Observations and model simulations have shown that Earth maintains a stable longwave radiative feedback process. When the surface warms by 1 K, Earth allows for 1.7 to 2.0 Wm−2 of extra thermal cooling to escape to space in cloud-free conditions. Recent studies have claimed that this enhanced thermal cooling to space can be explained by emissions from the surface passing through the atmosphere's infrared window. However, we find that a large portion of the stability actually results from enhanced atmospheric emission during global warming, which arises from the weakening of spectral lines broadening by radiatively inert gases (N2, O2, Ar) as the Earth warms. It is a well-understood phenomenon in spectral physics but has been largely ignored in the feedback literature. As a result, the feedback responses from the thermal radiative effects of greenhouse gases tend to stabilize the climate, rather than initializing a runaway of thermal radiative energy. This study further proposes a simple theory for accurately predicting the clear-sky longwave feedback from climate base states.

> calling roe v wade the status quo because it was the law from 1973 to 2023 seems like a stretch to me.

It sounds like our disagreement is more around "where do we draw the line" of "what is the status quo." 50 years of being the law seems like the status quo to me. For most people that are alive, that's the way it's always been (for anyone born later than 1955, that was the law when you were facing the decision of abortion).

There are thousands of years of history, so if the line of status quo isn't drawn at "how are things today" then we have to pick some arbitrary point and draw it there, and IMHO that makes the distinction between the two largely meaningless as there will always be an argument for why the line is in the wrong spot on any given issue, and moving the line on that issue flips the sides of which person is conservative and which is progressive.

But largely, it sounds like we are agreement. If the labels are more about "impulse" rather than position, then I agree.
I've seen competent project managers work very hard to achieve that neutral-value proposition. I haven't yet seen any one succeed.

In my experience, as soon as you decide your projects will be formal and managed, you are already doomed to that negative value.
I've been thinking the same, but for PCs.

> Sure, Marc added some bite to the piece — he called it a manifesto, after all — but most of it was grounded in economics: if you can do more with less, you get more for less. Sadly, in the dozen responses from outlets like the New York Times and Gizmodo, that got zero airtime.

Both the economic and editorial observations are true, and miss the points by a wide margin. Without rehashing all of them here, it's simply that this wasn't the point of the manifesto. It was that everything only gets super better for everyone with no social or ecological downsides, and it's wrong to question what gets created how for whom, and everyone should just get out of his way and let him run everything.

Wow there’s so much to unpack here. We live in a world that is largely heterosexual and monogamous, meaning it takes two to tango. If there’s a bunch of women ending up single, then that necessitates about an equal amount of single men too. The “bitterness” will be bourne by both fronts equally, and the “hot and marketable” comment cuts both ways.

Rather than play the blame game and make gross uber analogies, It’s worth pointing out why some people would rather be single. Is it because they’d rather not be in unhappy marriages? If so, the focus should be on how to improve marriage for both parties.

Is it because on top of needing to have a career, they’re also expected to shoulder much of the burden of raising kids? Let’s think of how we can make it more fair to everyone, or work on supporting parenthood as a society.

I think this is an interesting question in that it brings up two points.

The media this culture creates (specifically writing, in general) is very specific but very fragile. So eventually it wears out, and every year our storage media get vastly more fragile- photos from the early 1900s might last longer than stuff on hard drives if humans forget how to build those kinds of things.

But (and this is what I find interesting) the oral traditions that go back (in what we call north America) go back 15k years or more don't "count" under the current epistemic regime. Generally this history isn't something most of the people I run into are aware of, and when people are aware of them they come across as fables/ folk tales/ lore and not material history.

I live around a lot of native folks whose history has been often lost as they have been the victims of a vast genocide seeking to eradicate their culture. However, if you look online you can find discussions about oral histories around hunting mammoths, for instance. This has become a relevant discussion as the amount of genocide has eased up a bit and we have, for instance, native folks doing academic anthropology who can tie an archeological history of (say) large mammoth kills to specific oral narratives.

So, I get what seems to be the original point (our writing will become less legible), but I also find some irony in the idea that people with oral traditions might know a lot more about their long-term ancestors than our rather ephemeral culture.

I hate that stupid OK cupid article because what is always missed is that it's not always the same set of guys for all women. Almost no guy was overwhelmingly considered attractive or unattractive by women. Women are picky, but what they are interested in about men varies widely. Men are are the opposite of that. They have a very liberal acceptance criteria and it doesn't vary much between men. This makes perfect sense from a biological perspective. Men want to have sex with as many women as possible. They don't have much pressure to be picky. Women can only be pregnant so many times, so they're very picky, but that pickiness would definitely vary because what would be an ideal partner would vary based what they have going on in environment and genes.

Yes, this is the main, common counterargument that the OP addresses. This does a pretty good job of showing why that argument is overstated (if not entirely in bad faith), so I direct you back to it.

> There was a subgroup analysis on those that actually received screening, which showed a decent improvement in hazard ratio.

I can't emphasize this enough: read the article. Per-protocol analysis (what you're describing) is incredibly biased. OP shows that it's an overestimate of true effect, and I'd go so far to say that it's completely useless (in general; not just for this paper).

People who argue that NORDICC was wrong because per-protocol showed a bigger effect size should be ignored with prejudice. They don't know how to read or interpret scientific studies, and have a poor understanding of statistics.

That sounds like a typical price for a dealer-replaced window including sensor calibration. If you're willing to skip calibration, cost is about half that - some people say calibration is not strictly necessary, but it's a safety system, I wanted to make sure it's working.

This is based on getting my 2020 non-EV car's windshield replaced, the local glass shop said they can do calibrations for many cars, but didn't have the right procedures/equipment for my model.
How does one become a volunteer birdwatcher? Who are you volunteering with?
Yes, some do. But that, at least in Germany, are professionally trained (big and capable to do damage) dogs with good and easy personality that are handled by professionals. Like with ordinary weapons, too. Not everyone have the knowledge and abilities to handle that.

So the other scenario where single women is afraid, gets herself a dog for protection - yes, but these dogs are rather not aggressive, good and very easy personality. They aren't trained to run-fetch-imobilize.

So, may be to look at it as "pepperspray/self defense"-level and "search&destroy"-level

I just went through this and settled on Vue, TypeScript, and Vite for a rewrite of a PHP app. I can recommend that stack.

Vite and TypeScript were new to me. I'd briefly used a older version of Vue for something. I currently deploy to Vercel, but don't have any Vercel dependencies.

I used Phind, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot extensively in order to understand the "AI pair programming" experience. They were helpful for suggesting solutions and helping understand mistakes. Just to set expectations, the flow was less "problem→solution", and more "problem→try this→iterate→try this→iterate→solution".

I had several companies where the PM were horrible, lost, and egotistical. I then ran into a company where the PM spent ten years as a developer for some popular game companies. That guy was worth his weight in gold.

Development was so much smoother. I didn't have to spend time explaining why we couldn't do this or that. He'd nix bad ideas at higher levels before it even hit us. We were given ample warning on how we approach things ("Custom B will want this, and if box what you're doing now it'll be harder blah blah blah").
I don't think that is an unpopular view. Though I think it is more fair to say people are trying to patch the browser runtime environment and its APIs. JavaScript the language is "fine", it is that doing things the way the browser wants you to do them is often quite verbose, so people build layers of abstraction on top.

Unfortunately these abstraction layers end up being just as, if not more complex than what it is building on top of.

People creating frameworks can work a lot faster than the browser development teams. The modern browser stack is actually getting pretty good, but still some things like creating web components are awkward compared to many of the popular frameworks. And when people find something awkward to do, especially in as flexible a setup as JS, they will make their own abstractions.

My suggestion for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the JS ecosystem is to just work with plain ol' vanilla JS for a while. It'll give you a much better understanding of what is actually going on and you'll likely realize the problems you're trying to solve are pretty straightforward. But you'll also see that things can end up quite verbose (though the comprehensibility will likely be quite high). You'll find that there are some areas that are kind of annoying and this is where when you go back to one of the frameworks you'll see its value (but also likely where it is totally overkill). At the end of the day if you can keep your mindset focused on the browser runtime rather than the specific framework you happen to be using, you'll have a much better time. At least that is my experience.

This is done over 2 days so it's quite bare in terms of features i.e. read-only but I would still like to share this project.

It is true. The original post writes about reproducing the minimal iso, which contains probably around 1% of the packages in nixpkgs. The remaining packages are not tested regarding binary reproducibility, or, at least, not in a systematic manner, which means regressions may happen regularly (which is exactly what happened with the .iso, see the previous announcement from 2021: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nixos-unstable-s-iso-minimal-x... .)
> Talking to users has always been on my list of things required for engineers.

For any product of reasonable complexity, taking to users is something a PM should be spending ~1.5 days/wk on. Plus overseeing quantitative user research.

If your engineers are all spending that kind of time on users, that's slowing down the amount of time writing software by a huge amount.

Just recently I've hired people to help me in most of those roles, except Product Mgmt. So stuff like good API documentation, ordering of what tasks should devs do next, prioritizing of Bugs raised by QA , planning for the next features to implement, etc etc doesn't get done.

I've worked with great ProdMs and also Technical Project Managers (shoot out to MissionCloud, one of the best PMs I worked with, is a lady from there) . The are invaluable.
This is not true. As a Swiss company, it is illegal for us to cooperate with any non-Swiss authorities. The methods you describe are not in the catalog of measures a Swiss court can take. Therefore, Proton could not be compelled to do so.
Asking out is ok but asking out repeatedly or insisting on any other way may make the venue uncomfortable for both people and thus force one to leave their hobby, friends etc.
Yeah the "handing control of the company over" thing struck me as odd as well. I haven't ever seen that particular problem.

In the good cases I've seen, it's just as you describe, with EMs and PMs working together with high trust to get to a decent level of consensus between them, and then parlaying that consensus into leadership buy in for their roadmap.

In the bad cases, there is some breakdown in trust between the EM, PM, or leadership. Or, worse, between the EM and their team.

But I haven't run into this thing where the PM reigns supreme, above the leadership team.
Me too. It would be good to see an RCT between the approaches for asymptomatic people who seek screening.
Yeah.

However, it does matter in interactive websites because if the js is light it'll load fast and execute fast and you'll have interactivity sooner. It may be the case that images can be loaded later or arent even visible on the home page. And fonts of course will be replaced once they are loaded and the defaults will be used while it loads so it's progressive in a way.

Good Product people don't just build exactly what the customer described as their problem. They understand that sometimes there's a better way to solve it. In "engineering school", you can't tell your professor "I understand what you're actually trying to achieve, so I built X instead of Y because I think it'll be better for you".

Product figures out what to build, and Engineering figures out how.
I missed that, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised.

The data says people are saying they are less happy over some time period. There are 2 competing hypotheses to explain the cause.

1) Society has changed in a way that has made people less happy. 2) Society has changed in a way that has made people less likely to lie about being happy.

If you stop to think it through for a second, you’ll quickly understand how the statement “we have some data from somewhere in the middle of the time period in question that self reported satisfaction and a actual satisfaction are correlated” isn’t evidence to support either side. That statement can easily fit either hypothesis.
