Nobody wants to ignore valid evidence of criminal guilt. In the US, the motivation is to uphold your constitutional fourth amendment rights, and implicitly to protect you against police and government abuse, of which there is a long and sordid history. It’s a tradeoff, and while it can lead to a few criminals getting away with things, it can also prevent sending innocent people to prison for life, or to the electric chair. There are a bunch of exceptions to the exclusionary rule [2], and courts do not necessarily apply the rule indiscriminately.

Maybe if the founder has a majority they can sell their shares to someone and the company keeps on running. If the new owners don't intend to ever do an IPO I guess the existing employees end up with options to buy stock in a company that they will never be able to sell. Only upside would be if new owners take out a dividend, since that would assumably be a fixed amount per stock regardless of who owns the stock, unless of course the new owners are able to circumvent that by doing an unequal dividend payout that only goes to certain owners.
I'd love to see some research on how quality sleep helps with, say, Ebola.
The Cochrane review is underwhelming because it is mediocre[0]. And its main author is far from dispassionate:

"The study's lead author, Tom Jefferson of the University of Oxford, promoted the misleading interpretation. When asked about different kinds of masks, including N95s, he declared, “Makes no difference—none of it.” In another interview, he called mask mandates scientifically baseless."

When the main author is misleading about the conclusions of his own report, you have to wonder how good his work was.

But if you want just arguments over data rather than doubting Jefferson on a personal basis, this paper[1] makes a compelling argument that the RCTs in the Cochrane review itself are good enough to make the argument masking works. GAVI has also a good answer to Cochrane[2].

The article directly contradicts you.

> Led by researchers from the University of Maryland School of Public Health (SPH), results showed other masks also performed well, blocking at least 70% of viral particles from escaping from the source – an infected person’s exhaled breath.

> Cloth masks also outperformed both KN95 and surgical masks. Milton theorizes that cloth masks with greater coverage, wrap around the face and give a better seal than either KN95 or surgical masks. With cloth mask filters, flow resistance is also lower, allowing breath to pass through the filter and not leak out the sides of the mask.
Exactly. Both 1st + 2nd order thinking are needed when evaluating the PR efforts of leaders, particularly when their messages go against their actions.
Many “skinnier” countries use natural foods and cook all their meals. And that means no shortcuts with canned food, few spice bottles, etc.

I think that is part of it, plus their plates have more vegetables.

A lot of our meats in the US have hormones these days. Plus almost everything boxed, canned or packaged has sugar, fructose, corn syrup or the fake sugar for zero calories- none of which are good.
All jokes aside, this is a very serious question when it comes to Google products [1]. Imagine having spent 5K on a Jamboard...

I think it's possible to have a simpler social classification system without treating trans people poorly. There are many other rare mental issues that we can't treat well and that we don't bend all of society to try to alleviate for the victims. That doesn't mean we have to hate on the victims or treat them poorly.

There are a a few pretty big upsides I can think of to using a simpler social gender classification system: less social friction/discord/controversy (too much of this and your country falls apart and everyone is worse off), less social confusion/cognitive burden (pronouns, as one example, have basically become a third name that you have to memorize in addition to first and and secondary names whereas they used to just be a derived property that you didn't have to memorize).

So your assertion is that Raspberry Pi was using a Zero as a loss leader AND that it was out of stock. And some how this was enough to stifle competing products? And the competing products you've cited all have "Pi" in the name because they only exist to fill the gaps that Raspberry Pi products don't fill. For example the NanoPi is a Zero competitor that differentiates itself by having Ethernet.

Raspberry Pi dominates the market because it was the first to enter it and provides a limited product catalog that has limited churn with comprehensive support and regular software releases. The same cannot be said for it's competition which historically offered horrible software support land quickly iterated on products meaning that support generally only existed for the very latest.

Remote + non-US is not as welcoming, so the hurdles are way higher as it's not fitting the usual way. While startups have no prior experience anyway, so it's easier to convince 1-2 people instead of changing a whole system (I believe).
If this is true, it is so insanely contrary to the opinion of literally every single person I have ever met. Everyone wants a yard. Most people want a sizeable yard for their dogs or kids, or to drink beer and have campfires.

I grew up in rural midwest USA. maybe opinions are different elsewhere, but your comment is a bit baffling. Ive never in my life heard someone say "that house would be perfect if it just came with less land"

How is Hamas a threat to western governments?

And S-A's apartheid government was actually boikotted by western governments. How do you explain that?
I didn’t see those reports (but I don’t really watch TV much).

I can see a logic that goes: we don’t know if masks help yet. Therefore, if you decide to wear a mask, keep that in mind, and continue to follow the distancing guidelines. Also, be careful when donning and doffing your mask, as you are likely to accidentally touch your face at that point.

This is the advice I remember from reading stuff. But, I could definitely imagine people trying to “dumb it down” on TV and coming up with “maybe masks will harm more than hurt.” As a public policy, given the data available at the time that seemed plausible.

Unfortunately everybody’s a pundit on TV, so they might discuss public policy and personal advice (as well as their speculation about how people will feel about public policy, completing the media ouroboros) in one sentence and mix them all up.

Not sure what the fix is, maybe the CDC needs a more active media department to keep on this stuff. In particular, panicking people seem to want to see how these decisions are made. Have every interview be about the error bars, bookended with the current advice, which is just stay far apart.

>NickC25 is the ultimate arbiter of how good political and economic opinions are?

God, I fucking hope not. I'm just a single individual, just a man. No different than anyone else here.

I think Musk's political/economic opinions are awful because he's so far abstracted away from the real world that his opinions are effectively worthless. I wouldn't trust a random homeless guy's opinion much like I wouldn't trust Jeff Bezos' or Elon Musk's opinions - they both represent an extreme of how thing ares, but no way would they represent how society should move forward.

No employee should join a startup with the expectation that the company will be around forever.

Compare startups to restaurants- their failure rate is absolutely massive. Working for a new company is simply always a risk for everyone involved, there's no getting around that.
It wasn't performance exactly, but lack of skill. They had billed themselves as senior (and were being paid as such).

They were my first hire and made a number of mistakes:

- I was too nice/eager (one of interviewers said 'no, they can't code' and I should have listened to them).
- They passed (with the one caveat) our not very rigorous screening process, this is on me as well.
- I did not do a formal review at the end of their probation period (it was becoming obvious they were not skilled, but I dismissed it as coming up to speed with our systems).

The pip was intended to show me they were capable of being in the role, but they cheated and I can't abide that.

Before the pip, I would have probably kept them but with a pay cut, but prevailing wisdom was that it would not work in practice.
> But once your tables start to grow it will become misery to work with.

I buy the data layout argument for databases with clustered tables without any smi-sequencial uuid support. But the storage argument looks vanishingly applicable to me: if someone needs to add a column to one of these tables it basically offsets a 4 byte optimization already.
Yea I never bought this assertion from the TS team, saying “given the trade-offs at the time” is the same as saying “we’re already backed into a corner by previous decisions” - the decision(s) may have been intentional at each step but the design itself probably was not. Given the choice of sound or unsound, considering that the purpose of a type system is to give certain guarantees, a type system design must always choose soundness to be considered reasonable.

That being said, I don’t think it’s possible to “pull off soundness without compromising expressivity” because the expressivity in this context is self-referential types which equate to non-terminating unification logic (and thus, unsoundness). Still, I’m excited to see what they do with this type system! Reminds me a bit of Shen’s type system.
That's forgetting what a founder actually has to do and worry about.
Why pay someone to write if they can go to an AI service and get it for much less? That is why they care.

We'll have to wait and see if AI is like prior technological breakthroughs, i.e. does it eliminate drudgery and enable a higher level of creativity, at the short-term cost of some drudgerous jobs? This has been the case in the past.

I'm not hopeful. In the past, technology has performed work we didn't want to do in order to enable us to do work we did want to do. We want work that is expressive and creative and satisfying, but that is exactly the work that AI is increasingly replacing. AI can generate a pretty decent pop song today, and is still improving. Why will any media company want to pay human songwriters, musicians, producers, and publicists when AI can do all of that for near-zero cost and satisfy the vast majority of pop music consumers? AI can generate a decent story for a sports report from a box score and play summary of a game. The same with most other news and copywriting, the same with programming, the same with making movies, the same with art and design. If not today, then soon.

What can't it do? It can't do the laundry. It can't do the dishes. It can't cook dinner. It can't drive the car. It can't build a house. It can't paint a wall or fix a leaky pipe. And to the extent that technology can or will be able to do those things, it will involve expensive physical devices, because those tasks exist in the real physical world, not the digital world. Who will buy them when nobody can get paid for more creative work?
I think the new thing that will be happening is that junior developers are dependent on chatgpt and ai for a knowledge base, which is itself powered by companies completely outside of their control. Worst case scenario is that I can always write my own interpreter, with which I can write my own development environments, etc etc. because I have the knowledge. New developers will end up in a state where if chatgpt decides to ban you from their services your career is SOL.

Nice I've been contemplating doing some home automation for heating, I have a dual fuel forced air furnaces, with only 1 thermostat and a fairly large house. There's a large temperature gradient between the floors, so I was thinking automate booster fans on the lower floor to pull more heat, and or cycle the recirculate fan when the temp gradient is above X.
Not true if the author of the prompt used an iterative approach. Write the initial prompt, get the result, "simplify this, put more accent on that, make it less formal", get the result, and so on, and edit the final output manually anyway.
Just make sure to keep an eye on your monthly statement. AT&T will arbitrarily decide that you should upgrade your plan and charge you more for it - despite your previous plan being perfectly within your usage.

It's really annoying because I actually love Google products but try to avoid them whenever possible so I don't become attached to them in anticipation for when it comes time to kill it off. At least with Microsoft, they only kill off products that people genuinely never use or have a better alternative to; also Microsoft almost always provides an official migration path and gives a really long forewarning. Google has a really serious image problem and needs to address it ASAP.
Not for nothin, but it is not an uncommon opinion that regulation is the root cause :

Regulation = high barrier to entry in industry = monopoly/oligopoly = all telecoms are bastards.
Funding is one reason but the real one a lot of times is you hit hard legal limits on how many people are on your cap table before it’s just easier to go public. Meaning if you want to keep giving equity to employees you are almost forced to go public.

I've actually seen it happen using exactly that.

No amount of "don't" was enough to convince them... 6 months and much of their sanity later they gave up.
Only after they managed to raise any money, which is not as common as many people assume. And whatever you pay yourself as a founder initially eats into your runway, so that's always a tradeoff.
What do you usually love about Google products?

My experience with them has been poor to mixed.
The startups where employees get really rich still exist. I'm pretty sure the early employees of OpenAI are generationally rich for example.

It's just that these companies very often are the darlings since their inception, get constantly talked about. Everyone wants to to invest in them and everyone wants to join them. So they have the ability to pick out the best talent, in other words, it's unlikely you'll be able to join that specific startup.

But even 20 years ago, try getting into early Google. From what I heard they had extremely high bars for hiring as well and only lowered them once they got so large that the pool was exhausted.

I'd argue that the total comp at the established companies for engineers has increased precisely because of competition from startups: to make the startup not be the better option.

Does that mean that VCs are not taking a bigger slice than they used to? Absolutely not, but I wouldn't put the blame solely on them.
It’s a shame you were forced to take on this burden and not allowed to be a regular engineer like your peers.
It was still possible to do this in prior versions of Elixir, just syntactically noisy. Any layer which isn't a vanilla map needs Access.key, as in:

get_in(struct, [Access.key(:foo), :bar])
It's clear that the author is first time founder. The article is disingenuous in that it talks about secondary availability, but the solution is longer exercise and shorter vesting? That wouldn't solve WeWork situation at all. Also, the risk of founders and employees is not comparable. A good analogy of the relationship is Landlord vs. Tenant. Founder burdens statutory obligations, is responsible with their personal belongings, has to lay the groundworks, and get the investors. Employee has to pass a job interview. If company fails, both lose a job, so that part is shared. First employees are sometimes special, but they are not founders. Musk was not even an employee and he became founder of Tesla.
Sleep is primarily preventative, as it plays a role in the immune system. Personally, I haven't been sick in many years and when other people are getting sick I just get tired and sleep a few more hours than usual.

It is still best to help the ignorant leading it to not being mesmerized.
Early Android UI was such a clusterfuck. Not surprising really given that it started as a BlackBerry-like UI then pivoted hard when the iPhone was launched. They also weren’t really in the position to finely curate their app collection so just about any shoddy UI got approved for the store.

And then Google dedicated an entire version (3) to tablets only, leaving phones with a rapidly aging v2 UI for far longer than they should have.

There are a bunch of alternate histories from that era, if MS had their shit together and launched the Windows Phone a little earlier I think it could have taken the place Android occupies today. Android really wasn’t impressive in the early days (and I say this as someone who bought a Nexus One day one)
> A Set theoretical type system is more expressive(which suits the dynamic nature or Elixir better.) You can do Union and Intersection Types, and Negation Types, among other things, that you can't do with a HM type system. but it comes at the cost of how fast the program can be typed.

I doubt that Python's static type hints existing within a formal mathematical framework, but it's interesting that intersection types have been under consideration for a long time now: https://github.com/python/typing/issues/213
Perhaps you shouldn’t be working in a startup because your lifestyle is unaffordable, or your company is paying you peanuts.

I have worked in startups in Silicon Valley and have had many friends working for them. Most startups pay a base salary of around 200k$ I reckon (for new grads, perhaps 150k). This might come down to 9-10k after taxes per month. A good 2 bedroom house to rent in a location like San Jose would be 3k$ per month, which leaves you 6k for other expenses. Assuming 1k for car, you should still have 5k in savings per month, in a year of working you will have saved up 20 months of rent, maybe 12 months of living without a job. I find it hard to believe anyone in SV startups, is in risk of “personal financial ruin”, or “starving in the streets” just because they lost a few months of paychecks while searching for another job. That may be true in another country, in another market, but all tech workers in the Bay Area are living well above subsistence and acting like they are living paycheck to paycheck is a fantasy. There is a cost to working in startups, and it is an opportunity cost of not working in a big tech company and cashing out your 200k+ RSU over 4 years and instead receiving paper money stock options that can be worth 0.
Did you use the prompt I gave exactly?

Edit: Well, I tried my prompt with Gemini and now I have a report about a Guardian journalist who is more than likely using AI to write their articles!
I also wonder if work/life balance is a contributing factor. If your work ends promptly at 5pm, you have more time and energy to cook a real meal, rather than pick up something like fast food.
Elixir checks at compile time.
This is obvious in retrospect - instead of making LLMs work better, LLM's handlers invented various techniques to make LLMs to look like they work better, one such example is summarization. Next gen LLMs then get trained on that data.

Now instead of having some answer right away, the user has to engage in discussion, which increases the cost that is sunk into the work with LLMs.
Yes, as I mentioned it only applies when you have 10 sellers.
