You'll get more accurate results if you look at the paper's conclusion, not the abstract.

The whole point is that the paper doesn't actually support any of the claims, which it's fairly open about -- that's those "large standard errors".

They did not in fact find that the screen increases the probability of a woman being hired. They found that it increased the probability of a woman passing the final round of auditions. There's more than one round.

It's up to you, I guess, whether you want to follow the original authors to their conclusion that the semifinal round is fundamentally unlike the final and quarterfinal audition rounds. I wouldn't.

The paper is meritless, but even it's actual worthless findings aren't in the direction that people like to claim. Here's Andrew Gelman: https://statmodeling.stat.columbia.edu/2019/05/11/did-blind-...

> First, some equivocal results:

> This is not very impressive at all. Some fine words but the punchline seems to be that the data are too noisy to form any strong conclusions.

> Huh? Nothing’s statistically significant but the estimates “show that the existence of any blind round makes a difference”? I might well be missing something here. In any case, you shouldn’t be running around making a big deal about point estimates when the standard errors are so large. I don’t hold it against the authors—this was 2000, after all, the stone age in our understanding of statistical errors. But from a modern perspective we can see the problem.

> Anyway, where’s the damn “50 percent” and the “increases by severalfold”? I can’t find it. It’s gotta be somewhere in that paper, I just can’t figure out where.

> Pallesen’s objections are strongly stated but they’re not new. Indeed, the authors of the original paper were pretty clear about its limitations. The evidence was all in plain sight.

> For example, here’s a careful take posted by BS King in 2017:

>> Okay, so first up, the most often reported findings: blind auditions appear to account for about 25% of the increase in women in major orchestras. . . . [But] One of the more interesting findings of the study that I have not often seen reported: overall, women did worse in the blinded auditions. . . .

If you read the paper, you'd notice the problems.

But you might not want to run the risk of, um, "racism" that seems to be inherent in reading a paper on the impact of blind auditions on women.
Snake oil is snake oil, but what if the economy is already upended?

Plus after all recommended remedies have been tried, the only possible solution is to implement something that is not recommended.

You're going to need a different kind of oil . . .

Not my downvote btw, corrective upvote actually, you're making a lot of sense all over the place, along with many others.
Thanks for the advice, definitely not the vibe we are going for.

Do you maybe have any tools to recommend?
Fun fact – italic typefaces was invented to save paper since slanted letters allow tighter kerning.
Yes, I develop BoldContacts, which is a mobile app to help you browse your contacts and connect with them. It features big bold buttons and fonts, and is useful for people who have Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, dementia, and cognitive/vision/motor disabilities.

https://boldcontacts.org

The app is deliberately small: the goal is to provide a free open source way to help people use their contacts more easily, such as to call their friends, family members, medical providers, and caregivers.

The mission is much larger: to enable caregivers and researchers to extend people's quality of life; this is enabled by creating open source building blocks that care providers (e.g. hospitals, social services, assistive homes) can use to mix-and-match their own apps and content that can help people who are in more advanced stages of need.
Plot twist: it’s actually about developers in India bemoaning being replaced with Vietnamese ones.
well, db latency in some naive unoptimized app with multiple sequential queries directly affects _app_'s throughput
I'm surprised it was a cost-based decision as Indian-based teams are already on the lower end of that.

I believe there was some other kind of added value involved, perhaps they hired a more competent team or with a broader skillset.
As far as i am aware.. online courses which offer u certificates after u pay are no more given the recognition it deserves, as it used to be popular back then...

These days skills are the most important thing nd it doest matter where u learn either by watching YT or some courses or reading... At the end the question u have to ask are u well equipped with the expertise in the domain which u are interested in..
Comeing to Courses that I highly recommend depends on ur interests : )

from HN Guidelines:

Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".

I think this rule contributes to people not reading. One should be shamed for not reading an article they comment on, and more importantly, see others shamed for not reading it.

(yes I read the article)

EDIT: It's unfortunate that the article is on such a self-promoting website, as well as soliciting upvotes, and as a result died, because I do think this is a discussion worth having.
I am super happy with the Affinity Suite. One time price for a full version. So glad not to pay a dime to Adobe.
> The early termination fees in the FTC case represent “less than half a percent of our annual revenue,” Rao told me. “It doesn’t drive our business, it doesn’t drive our business decisions.

Great, so you should have no issue removing them altogether because it's not really a material source of revenue and it would result in meaningfully more satisfied users.

> “I look at a lot of cancellation flows that are out there. There’s people you can’t even cancel online, you have to call. That doesn’t seem simple at all. When you start talking about the the range of what a cancellation flow can and should be, we’ve always been in the category of good, and we want to be great.”

Who are you looking at that requires calling? Certainly not big names like Adobe. This is such a disingenuous argument that it almost counts as evidence that Adobe's culture is one of trying to mislead.

I live in South Manchester, role is technically in London. We don’t have a permanent office as the team are fairly remote. When we meet it’s in London and the team hire out some rooms/desks at a cowork. I occasionally travel down, 2-3 times a month for these meet days. Centre of gravity of employees and activity is London, but we have people flying in from Scotland and France too.

Thanks for the suggestions! I could definitely shop around. I don’t have time in this round of negotiations as need to give a counter offer next week. I also really enjoy working here, it’s a good set up.
The worst part about this kind of censorship is that it allows a national body to decide what is appropriate for your child to see. Moderating what your child can engage with had always been a right and responsibility of a parent and every parent has a different view on what they want for their child. By making this decision centralized and applying it the same for everyone, it will inevitably become a lowest common denominator, sheltering our children from things that we may deem safe or even important. Just look at how often material on sexual education has been withheld from adolescents at the most important time of their lives to learn about it and how many times advice on mental health issues is hidden from those who urgently need it. Using key words like rape or suicide will have content removed or even result in banning your account on many platforms today without any understanding of the context in which those words are used.

I don't want the most prudent of the prudes to make laws removing all content they deem even slightly inappropriate from our global communication system, even if it's only for minors. This widespread banning of ideas is the very horrors of censorship that sci fi has warned us about for decades.
Wait 'til there's a major password manager exploit. The only truly safe option is longish passphrases you can remember.

Interesting they start the article using Apple. *In general* Apple has(had?) a reputation for creating smart and useful products which work in surprisingly simple and convenient ways. Apple is dogmatic (and aggressive), but the goal has been _something great_. Drawn into the article, you ask yourself--Why is the EU handcuffing Apple? The article wouldn't have the same momentum if you started with, say, Facebook. The rules described are perverse (ex. Twitter/X's blue checkbox). The imagined outcome is a shocking lack of products which people enjoy freely elsewhere in the world.

Then I started thinking of this through the lens of B2B SaaS software I use in small business every day. The outside of the box makes promises. Sales reps make promises. Demos abound. Contracts are signed. Setup fees are paid. Setup manhours are invested. And then you start using these services and products. Support issues go unresolved--not supported at this time--and go on the 'wish list' void. What you thought of as a solution to your business needs turns to questions of sunk cost. Total frustration resulting from the obviously profit seeking economizing decisions not described on the box--devil is in the details. Who is the more naive? Businesses for having purchased these products or the companies who develop and market them as industry solutions (vs. just another product with hidden cost-benefit determinations)?

Now think of the B2C environment the article is talking about where there are known deceptive practices working to profit on user's personal privacy. I have to laugh. Seems fitting to read about naive regulation against the decisions of manufacturers and developers making abhorrent conditions in the consumer market. I see the same frustrated naive decisions of business owners trying to get out of contracts for bad products and services they have chosen.

There's a lot wrong with it. The reserves that will be burned include all Saudi reserves and all Norwegian reserves. The hand wringing BS doesn't change anything about prices being high enough to fund the politics of forcing us to extract and burn all reserves until they are gone. Only refusing to burn your reserves changes whether we are screwed.
I needed to temporarily subscribe to an Acrobat plan to work with a specific PDF file from a client for 1 day. They deliberately implement a dark pattern that doesn't allow you to cancel a subscription immediately after creation. It claims that your subscription is "processing" and you have to come back later to cancel it.
Since my IP hardly changes, I went from DDNS to an email notifying me when the IP changes with this cron:

old_ip=`cat ~/.prev_ip`
my_ip=`ifconfig em0 | awk '/inet/ {print $2}' 2>&1`
my_email=me@example.com

if [ "$my_ip" != "$old_ip" ]; then
echo $my_ip > ~/.prev_ip
echo $my_ip | mail -r $my_email -s "New IP: $my_ip" $my_email

In the not too distant future the basic CRUD-development for boring enterprise apps is going to be done by AI models. You only need a human to write the prompts and review the output.

That human may become less and less technically skilled over time as the models become better.

But costs for AI could be similar to developer wages in emerging markets for a while... I think nobody is currently charging the real cost of their AI stuff to end users yet.

> disappointed in the way they’re continuing to take comments out of context from non-executive employees from years ago to make their case

Whenever someone complains that you've taken something "out of context" your response is "OK, so what's the 'context'? "

As for unexpected charges being placed on your credit card: you always use a temporary, amount-limited card, which a lot of institutions offer. I use privacy.com.

Someone always says here, "Oh, but they can still come after you." But they don't. You should make a best effort to follow their rules, stop using the service, and then close the card. "Cards becoming invalid" are an event handled in their normal course of business.
Note that you have a best alternative, even if you don't improve it.

The goal is to have an active comparison, “if they just said no to everything here is what I would do and what that is worth to me.” And, you want to know the other party's best alternative, too, because you want to be able to say “I know we can do better than outcomes A and B.”

Negotiations “want” to be zero-sum and you have to constantly prop them up. There's actually strange parallels to this in theology and political science, complex multidimensional things getting collapsed to Left vs Right or God vs Satan and so forth. So we want to focus on one number, the salary, and party X wants it higher but Y wants it lower, now you have a zero sum game.

But the point of negotiation is the multidimensional space. “I want to work with you, we're on the same team here, we both want me to continue at this workplace and flourish...” is possible precisely because the space is not us-vs-them.

It's a little bit of a pipe dream but the ideal negotiation kind of sounds like, “oh, you're not able to pay me more than my manager? OK, what about getting me to be a team lead so that I am on the right trajectory? You don't have a spot for that? Well I have been thinking about starting a family, how about we explore a policy that would make it easy for me to take a chunk of that time off. No? What about these wonderful experiments with the four day work week, do you want to try those? Hum. Well, if we are really stuck on all of those, here's articles about how private companies with ESOPs beat the pants off of other companies, how can we get me some equity? Takes too long? I mean I can wait, just not forever. Want to meet in 30 days and we'll keep in touch on Slack about some of these ideas and float them to senior management?”

(Here notice that the “best alternative” is explicit, “we meet again about my career development in a month.”)
I agree about the clarity side. We have people in the team from different countries and they say “here it is not allowed …” but then I say “who is going to know that you didn’t work all April?

About the pressure part that is also totally true. I don’t think “unlimited” is possible at most companies. It has to be part of the culture. That is why I find it important to encourage people to take holidays and do so lavishly myself. It also isn’t so much unlimited as much as we simply don’t keep track. It wouldn’t be ok in most cases to take 2 months in a row, although it has happened. Also, we work in shapeup cycles and usually prefer people to not take last minute holiday within a project.

As I said this is all pretty vague and yet it is amazing for everyone who works here.

I do hiring on the engineering team and in this case it really works against us because it simply is too vague. It has a high “trust me it’s cool” character that a specific number would fix. “50 days” sounds more clear.

This clever geopolitical analysis notably ignores China, and the fact that Trump pushing the EU to China would be the greatest geopolitical victory for China in history.

It's not like the Russian Empire in the 1800s was particularly more oppressive towards the overwhelming majority of the population or mismanaged the country to higher degree than the Polish nobility that preceded them

The Russian Empire literally tried to eradicate the Polish language.

I was suprised to see that claimed as a misspelling. The lettering was very neat, nearly perfect otherwise, so with that evident attention to detail I thought a misspelling was unlikely. I assumed it was just an older variation of the spelling.
In field-specific literature, that carries.

This is a public forum where we pretend to attempt to communicate with each other. Using units that people here are familiar with is key to that end.

I think "story-driven game with no combat or dexterity" covers it decently well (story-driven in the sense that, the story is the primary, usually sole, focus - making "progress" in the game is equivalent to finding out what happens next).

Though some people tend to consider visual novels as being distinct from adventure games, with a stipulation that a visual novel has no "overworld" (i.e. you don't walk around on a map - neither graphically nor textually - you just move from one "scene" to the next. You move forward in time rather than N/S/E/W in space.)
To clarify, it doesn’t create a commit and is only usable within actions. I have always used the GH action VSCode extension for it, but I believe from the API, you would call the below endpoint using a classic/non-fine grained PAT that has the “repo” grant.

Everyone seems to say it will be done by AI!

I don't understand this thing where people know the future before it's been proven to happen. It's wrong. It's a 'maybe' at best.

Not too long ago, the near future was supposed to have self-serving cars everywhere and that is still hobbling along instead.
I agree with both the comments. At the moment there are no progression paths which don’t involve moving up into doing more management, but I’ll still be spending 75-80% of time writing code. If the company was larger there may have been other options internally to focus on technical roles.

Bulk prompting. You queue up a series of task for ChatGPT that should result in some Job or Task being done.

Having a reflex and breastfeeding are two different things. The baby can have the reflex, but the mother has no milk or the latching technique is poor (as mentioned elsewhere in these comments). So the child not breastfeeding doesn't mean there is no reflex. And yes, the process can be painful and stressful to many mothers most especially first timers (experience also counts).
Ugh, same. You’re right. Nothing is safe at Google or even a safe bet with Google. Look at third-party cookies. I can’t believe there isn’t outrage in the streets over the fact that they beat that drum for four straight years and now they suddenly have a change of heart.

At some point their rationale has to become irrelevant. It’s simply unprofessional behavior.
I'm skeptical of there being any security implications. Signed but not encrypted tokens are effectively plaintext metadata, and token revocation is still an important operation on the service side, preventing zombie token attacks.

Reading metadata can be useful to know when a token is expired without hitting a remote service.

The fact that our identities are a path integral through a unique 4 dimensional spacetime curve does not undermine the utility of first-order characterizations of the resulting value.

I am simply adding, and characterizing, an additional factor: how often do you dream? None of the answers to these questions tell the whole story of a person, but they are useful nevertheless.
