I thought the point was about how easily one can feel rage about this not if the situation can realistically be improved in any way.
That's not really true. It sounds like the OP is in a big public tech company. In such a company there's usually a third option that preserves your salary and equity grants but also lets you do something else: transfer.

OP should look around for other roles and other directors within the company. There's a good chance that there's something available, particularly for a high performer with a dedicated track record. It does require leaving behind some of the skills and relationships that got him to this point, though.
Panicking how? This seems like a desirable feature a lot of customers are looking for.
I noticed that pretty close to this post is another one "Our channel on YouTube has been deleted due to “spam and deceptive policies”."

If you're going to be consistent, it should be fine for companies to delete people's accounts arbitrarily because their AI flagged it. After all, it's their own website, and if they want to use AI to make inaccurate decisions about accounts, that's their right, isn't it? So there's nothing to complain about.

I've never yet see someone admit this. It's always "when it's my political enemies, it's the company's website and they can get rid of anyone they want. When it's anyone else, making arbitrary decisions is a great injustice".
And that's why his stocks are doing fine despite him having alienated a huge chunk of the world with his fascist salutes.

Edit for clarity: the "Roman" in "Roman salute" is based on the idea that the ancient Romans did this salute. Historians have indicated there is no evidence to support this idea. The salute was popularized by the Italian Fascists, who also popularized the idea that it hearkened back to the Romans, which based on modern evidence appears to have been a fabricated narrative. Hitler liked it so he adopted it for the Nazis too.

It's a fascist salute, always has been.

> And there isn’t a way to shrink a shrinking city.

You could probably disincorporate parts of the city, but I assume that would require consent of the owners/residents and the county. Of course, reducing the incorporated area also reduces revenue, so it might leave you with similar revenue vs cost mismatches, but a smaller area.
He's eager to get before the Supreme Court and has people whispering in his ear that the Impoundment Control Act is unconstituional.

I have refereed basketball at a very high level (think Div 1 College, NBA G-league/minor league), and in my earlier days I did a lot of junior high-level games, and I noticed very much the same, although more "vocal" with the parents than players. There seem to be three tiers:

1 - the low-level games, where it's fun, and no-one thinks it is more than it is, and everyone is generally chill.
2 - the very high-level games, where even the parents know that the last thing their kid or the team needs is them messing with the referees, etc.

But most of the issues came in between. The kids who were absolutely talented, but were never going to play professionally. But they were still well ahead of the first group. Those were the troubles, where parents, coaches, and players felt that they truly belonged in group 2, but the only thing holding them back was the referees or whatever else and had a need to prove themselves. Never has a quote been more appropriate from Top Gun, "Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash."
> You can't just replace Musk and Tesla starts selling a 25k car.

Can't you?

As a shareholder, I'd welcome a proposal to fire Elon Musk, whether his replacement could produce a 25k car or not. It's clear to me that he has no interest in the success of the brand and will gladly see it fizzle if he has his way.

A Song on Porcelain: Robert Pinsky on Czesław Miłosz

There is no state income tax . . . yet. But the "soak the rich" band is already tuning up, and with the cost of living being what it is out here, "rich" will probably include anyone who can afford a house.
A Tesla was genuinely an exciting car that many wanted. Sure, it lacked polish (and fit and finish were meh) but it was by far the best EV you could get for a long time. There was also the "other" factor before they were mainstream , or why some rich drive Land Rovers, Mercedes G class and so on, then it was just the hip car in the Bay Area and now everyone is driving them so why bother.

Not saying people stopped buying them because of Musk, just that it wasn't necessarily his charisma that used to get people to buy them.
1. Communicate this to your leadership? They can’t read your mind and communication is the only thing that makes an organisation work.

2. You don’t have to join the team and just observer the status quo, especially in an under performing team. I see a Sr Staff Eng as a leadership role- shatter the status quo and reform it to be a high performing team.

Take the bull by the horns.

Edit: This will do more for your career than any team or product you can produce.

Hi, I'm Kathryn! I have 5+ years experience in Customer Success - with additional experience in customer service - both in the startup space and small family owned businesses. Previous customers I've worked with would tell you that I'm an expert on the product and that they trust me to advocate for them internally. Previous colleagues would tell you that I'm a great teacher and communicator.

Now I'm looking for an opportunity to start or scale a Customer Success team, where I can build close relationships with early customers, establish processes for future customers/products, and mentor new CSMs as the company grows.

Healthtech is preferred, but I'd consider others if the mission is interesting.

Just a new term used during and after COVID. It comes after the initial 'tech screen' round. They call is 'virtual onsite' sometimes. It involves giving multiple interviews in a very short duration. A positive decision in these 2-3 rounds pushes you forward to the final round with the hiring manager.
Yeah, my resume does include a summary of what I did each job, but it sounds like the brag doc idea would involves much more detail.

Honestly, putting those details in writing in a way that I retrain after leaving might leave me vulnerable to claims of violating my corporate NDA. But legalities aside, yes, it would help with these kinds of interview issues - prospectively only of course, not retrospectively.

Annoyingly, it's also exactly the kind of doc that's difficult for people with ADHD to create and maintain rigorously, even though people with ADHD are more likely than average to need the reminders of those details. A lot of ADHD problems are that kind of frustrating catch-22, especially when interacting with a world that is largely designed around more typical brain types.
I was referring to the advanced depreciation, not the EV tax credits. Tesla's profit margin is more than 3%. Per the calculations someone else did here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42893563 Tesla supposedly got $300M in tax credits, which is much less than 21% of their profit.

In the early days of radiocarbon dating these were pretty much the exclusive source of calibration curves (since the coverage is so comprehensive). There were many problems encountered through this that led us to using a combination of different heuristics.

Primary among those considerations was that the dendrochronology record is of pretty limited timeframes -- we have very few samples going back more than a couple of hundred years.

And the study of carbon-14/12 ratios in dendrochronology led to deeper questions: there appears to be a significant geographic variation; the change in c14/12 ratio is non-monotonic (i.e. there are times of sufficiently increased historical C14 that samples from that era are indistinguishable from samples in a later era).

This has led to a ton of research into calibration methodologies, leaving many questions that are still open today.

If it were constructive dismissal then they wouldn't have promoted him.

This is "I heard you were a high performer but I don't know you directly, so I have high uncertainty. I have a team that needs guidance, but I don't care enough about that team to put the person I trust most in charge. I think you're probably good, so here's an opportunity to turn around a struggling team and impress me."

It is definitely a shit sandwich though. The senior director didn't care enough about this team to really try to help them, and didn't care enough about you to pump you up about the opportunity.

A few things that seem like they're consistently missing from these projects:
Hardware 3d acceleration from the host in a version of OpenGL ES + Vulkan that most phones have natively. Lastly, many apps have built-in ways of detecting that they're not running on a phone and ditch out (looking at cpuinfo and referencing that with the purported device being run).

It also seems that expected arm support on device is increasing (along with expected throughput) and that the capability of the x86 host device you need to emulate even a modest modern mobile ARM soc is getting higher and higher.

Lastly, the android version supported is almost always 3-4 generations behind the current Android. Apps are quick to drop legacy android support or run with fewer features/less optimizations on older versions of the OS. The android base version in this project is from 2020.

Anecdotally, using bluestacks (which indisputably has the most compatible and optimized emulation stack in the entire space) with a 7800X3D / RTX 3090 still runs most games slower than a snapdragon 8 phone from yesteryear running natively.
I just set this up a few months ago! It stores data in a local sqlite db. I have a script that pulls in new data once a day.

It takes a surprisingly long time, there must be some serious inefficiencies since the watch only takes a second or so to sync all that same data to my phone. I haven't had a chance yet to look closer at the internals.
Most tech discussion I follow is still on Mastodon. And when Bluesky inevitably goes the way of Twitter due to VC toxicity, Mastodon will still be standing.
I would not be too worried about that. Washington legislators just outlawed income tax last year. While those who want earned income tax are vocal, the support for the initiative against income tax was so widespread that the politicians did not want it on the ballot for fear of voters being swayed to vote for the other ballot initiatives.

I tested 13 LLMs to auto-generate alt-text for 9,000 images missing descriptions on my website. Not surprisingly, cloud models (GPT-4, Claude 3.5) performed best but weren’t perfect. For local options, Llama variants and MiniCPM-V worked reliably but missed some details. Local models align with my values, but cloud models would serve visually impaired users better. Should I prioritize principles or pragmatic accessibility?

We absolutely can't, with current technology, move an asteroid of any dangerous size towards (or away from) a collision with the Earth - and even more so not with a single engine that has to have fuel for the entire duration of the flight. It would take thousands of years to get an ion engine on an asteroid to move it back to the Earth, and you'd have to constantly send fuel with it. And controlling where it will land is an entirely different problem.

And many years of the engine running would still be easily reverted by one or two high energy impacts, like a fusion bomb hitting the asteroid just right.

Consider this as well from an energy diff perspective - to hit a city with the same energy as a nuclear bomb, you have to have the final mass times the final speed squared about equal to the energy of the fusion bomb. And to get that, you have to put in energy that's proportional to the mass before burning up in the atmosphere times the square of the delta of the speed difference between its original speed and its speed on a collision course with the Earth. So you need to find an asteroid that's pretty close to hitting the Earth, and still put in the energy to move its full mass the extra distance.

You're right this is not fully a symmetrical problem, but it's asymmetrical in the opposite direction: defense is a lot easier than offense in this case, simply because of the massive inertia of the weapon. To alter your metaphor of the bullets, there's a reason why we shoot explosive rockets instead of just hurling huge rocks at our enemies. And it's precisely the same reason why a nuclear weapon is much better than an asteroid.
US here. When I've tried similar tactics in other contexts, I tend to get an answer along the lines of "cool, use the website", and politely trying to get me off the phone. But maybe it's worth a shot. :)
People pay more for worse things, so I can see you'll get money out of this.

> Envelopes, checks, postage, gas / your time trip to the post office - agreed isn’t a lot of money probably about $3 + your time.

Less. Gas is not a factor. Envelopes are at the grocery store, which I'm going to go to any way. Postage is sold at Costco, so that's not really extra. And the mailbox is right where I live. The time to get to the mailbox doesn't count as, well, I do need to check my mail anyway. So really, the only time spent is:

1. Finding the items at the stores I already shop at.

2. Write the check.

3. Apply the stamp.
Great hard-won insight!
Looking forward to many HN comments on this thread.

I think it's called positive thinking. Or wishful thinking. Something like that.
