You could say the same about publicity traded companies.

It all depends on who is in charge... And unfortunately self-serving people tend to reach the top more easily in both scenarios. You don't get Dan Price's very often (relatively).

In public companies, there is more public information, but that doesn't stop a company from doing "bad" things of the short term stock movement is good enough.

Look at all the merger promises that are broken. They all know what they are doing. Uphold the promise a year, then it's to late to undo the merger when you start to ignore the promise.

Can also look at all the fines companies get for willfully breaking laws (or treading the line).. (fine < profits)? success!
I’m happy to hear it! I only reframed the problem, though, and didn’t really propose a solution, which is often the part that people disagree with

The centralized player with the most control over this is the viral platforms themselves. If they’re smart, they’re working on a self-regulating solution to this problem before lawmakers get around to it.

Things like tagging videos about nicotine and demonetizing them or tweaking the algorithm to make sure only those of legal age can see them.

Alcohol and nicotine advertising is already heavily regulated on TV, where targeting is impossible and minors watch it
The way I frame luck in my mind is that there will always be elements of your success which lie outside of your control. The ability to which you can capitalize on opportunities which come from outside of your of control is contingent on factors of your life which exist within the boundaries of your control.

You may have been lucky because a recruiter has reached out to you for a role which you would fit well in, but that's because you've made a conscious effort in dedicating time your craft and to advertising your capabilities.

Luck (or the lack of) is nearly never the sole factor in your successes or your failures.
> Which defeats the proper purpose of the program.

Or, cynically, is the point of the program. There has to be a large interest group who wants to keep lower classes out of the universities and DEI would make a good smokescreen. Get some disadvantaged kids the likes of the Obama children and Clarance Thomas' son. Then there is no space left for Wei Wang who gets great marks but who is probably an oppressor because his family are solidly middle class and not moving in the right social circles.
"Diversity statements are akin to brainwashing techniques used by religious cults to out heretics."

I would strengthen this statement to say that it is a brainwashing technique, and is employed by a religious cult.

That’s because DIE is just apologetics for modern racism and colonialism:

Poor Whites, Jews, and Asians are acceptable sacrifices to the racists behind that movement — which resembles modern colonialism, eg, dividing a population by providing special privileges to an ethnic minority to ease your rule. Increasing rape and murder against natives in European countries is fine, as long as it disrupts their cultural coherence and makes them subjugated to groups like the WEF.

That’s why DIE was promoted by Wall St, WEF, et al: they wanted to end the class conscious discussion of their behavior, so they rebuilt the KKK, fostered grievance narratives, etc — as a way to bring the population to heel.

That’s frequently discussed in populist circles (eg, Jimmy Dore, Russell Brand, Vivek Ramaswathy) and why the working class is defecting from establishment politics (and particularly, the racist, neo-colonial Left).

I feel comfortable with fenced code blocks. Using heredocs all the time, not so much.

```js title="/root/server.js"
console.log('test')
```

or

`/root/server.js`

```js
console.log('test')
```

vs

RUN <<EOF cat >/root/server.js
console.log('test')
EOF

However the Markdown one is better if the syntax highlighting theme makes the code fence a color that doesn't stick out - either monochrome or closer to the background color.
I think "optimal number of features" is too simplified.

Many features don't require any user interaction or even knowledge, like passive error checks, and are easy to implement.

Some features can replace other features or even other entire systems, which would otherwise be much more work without the integration.

If I'm selling something on eBay, they do everything from communications to returns to payments to shipping calculations to keeping track of what I've bought and sold.

I sure wouldn't want to use some kind of modular thing where those were all separate parts.

Minimum effort spent on stuff nobody wants to do, minimum chance of mistakes, and minimum chance for getting into a state where you have to go back and redo earlier work is a more direct measure than just trying to avoid complexity.

That last one seems to be one of the usual very common points that make systems harder to use for people who aren't used to how software in general works, because it requires making the user define things as small pieces that the computer stacks up for you, rather than the real world process of stacking up stuff you wouldn't even think of as separate steps.
Probably because universities promote those programs exclusively on protected class, not circumstance.

To the point that I believe claiming they’re focused on circumstance is a polite fiction to give cover for the institutional bigotry the Supreme Court condemned at Harvard and UNC.

Not only that, but it presupposes that diversity is a good in and of itself, which I think is quite false when it comes to diversity of physical characteristics (which is all that these initiatives ever care about). Diversity is neutral. It is just as erroneous to think that a group is enhanced by adding people just for their race (or gender, etc) as it is to think that a group is enhanced by excluding people just for their race (etc).
Relatedly, and more important for startup founders, is that more features may not actually drive increased adoption (e.g. David Bland's product death cycle https://andrewchen.com/this-is-the-product-death-cycle-why-i...).

Yup. Those in the 1700s who wrote about stars with so much mass that light cannot escape would have known that their calculations only applied to ballistic trajectories. They would have believed that non-ballistic objects such as rockets would be able to escape because all they had was Newtonian physics.

That when mass becomes high enough that light can't escape nothing else can escape either doesn't pop out of the math until you have general relativity.

Some people like their personal full-programs inside a single-file, I think the appeal is that after opening you only have to keep scrolling to continue reading the other "files", or that if you need to attach it to an email or something similar you are sure it has no dependency on other files, but yeah the trade-off is not worth it.
The app isn’t very good. They don’t start preparing your order until you arrive in store, and it just seems like so many steps compared to the Starbucks app where you just say, I want it now and it gives you the estimated time it will be ready. Apps that allow for ASAP are easier to use.

>I don't think you're going to see a lot of hardcore studies.

There are ways around it. Not all studies are done by asking women and men questions about their own behavior. Psychologists are certainly aware of the biases when doing that.

For example: https://psmag.com/environment/17-to-1-reproductive-success

Of course the logical implication of the above where 17 women reproduce for every 1 man means that 1 man sires 17 children (or more) with 17 women.

Do female preferences cause this where they seek a single alpha? Or is it forced? One thing is for sure though. This outcome certainly does align with theory where the "performative disdain" by a number of women isn't actually a performance. Nothing conclusive here.

Additionally your theory here implies imitation via actual existence. Women and men create such performances to be put on display for "someone" or what's the point of the performance? Therefore enough "someones" with those preferences actually exist for such performances to become widespread.

I definitely think your theory is real. I think it's wide spread too. But I do think the performance only influences the general result by something like 30%. Roughly 30% of women are putting on a performance for the majority who do have these darker desires.

Additionally here's an interesting thing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs_zs8qQGXk&t=185s

are these answers a performance? Certainly a portion. I would say though as a man if the reverse question was asked whether or not it was cheating if a woman used a male prostitute, almost every man would call it cheating and that answer is NOT a performance.
This stuff you are saying is just ludicrous nonsense. The people you list are stupid assholes, especially Vivek who is a complete moron. There are plenty of reasons to worry about diversity, my point is it is done lazily as a game of 'less whites' because DEI programs are poorly run and it's easier for the low-iq, incompetent commissars who have been hired to run these programs to just go by what people look like. I don't think there is much of a coordinated agenda beyond incompetence.
No, but that’s a fun idea. Most of my docker crimes involve working around the lack of REBASE or similar to transplant a layer from another stage. Instead I’m forced to abuse rsync.
Things that were confidently set in their ways for the entire life of the product almost, also ended up buckling in recent years. I'm pretty disappointed, just for one example, in how Apple walked away from good old System Preferences into this System Settings for no good reason at all, just to make it analogous to their messy iOS settings page. It's a Mac and not an iPhone, and shouldn't behave like one, but what do you know, they know what is best for us I guess as we are saddled with yearly updates that must change some thing we've grown familiar with just for the sake of change. Imagine if the hammer in your garage changed how it worked every year.

I'm a white male from a very similar background. The thing that separates us from black and hispanic colleagues is that the white guys that are hiring automatically trust us 10x more than a black or hispanic candidate, regardless of where we came from, where we went to school, or how much money we had growing up. You might see a lot of diversity in PhD programs, but as soon as you step into a high paying professional role you're going to see maybe one black or hispanic colleague in 100. Now, I'll take any advantage I can get, but I also do my best to "hold the door open" for folks that face a lot more prejudice than I do; that don't get a carte blanche to reinvent themselves in an interview.
