Yeah, not to mention tons of possible variations of that line that you might not notice at a glace but would completely change the output.

Like one expense they saved on is sending out recruiters and engineers to likely thousands of career fairs, recruiting sessions, etc. Nobody would reasonably argue that skipping all of them is a sustainable strategy long term even if it has

The author directly acknowledges that money can be used to measure value: > I’m going to tacitly accept [...] that “value” can meaningfully be expressed in terms of United States dollars That doesn't mean you can just sum up a bunc

Amusing that the original letter from Jeff Bezos doesn't list taxes paid as counting towards value provided to others. For a more 'normal' company that would be high on the list of ways they're contributing to society. B

The thing is that RAM is really cheap. Right now on my machine Firefox is using 5GB of RAM, which at current prices would cost about 75¢/month amortized over three years. It seems hard to justify paying 40 times that amount for this

Other biographies already exist including the very popular autobiography mentioned in the article. It seems unfair to give a pass to the authors of those biographies for not painting a full picture, but then to object to anyone pointing out

Yes, they have some of the blame. For exactly the same reason that a car company can't remove the airbags and just tell their customers "don't crash!"

Can we get over this trope of "autopilot doesn't mean self driving." Everybody knows what normal people mean by autopilot. And even if they didn't, introducing the new "Full Self-Driving" terminology seems to m

Those other scientists didn't coerce any of their female graduate students to pose naked so they could practice for their painting hobby.

Imagine if the only APGL enforcement action on this was by contributors against MinIO. Not exactly the intended outcome of this re-licensing...

What's valuable is fixing security issues. So if you "hack" some system and then provide either patches or useful guidance on how to eliminate a vulnerability that is helpful. By contrast, if a security issue is already kn

The department leadership never approved the research. Why does no one seem to understand that universities don't work like corporations? You never have to get your research ideas approved up the chain of command. You just start workin

Ah, but you're missing the directive that medicine doesn't have: "If a doctor commits malpractice, immediately disregard all medical advice given to you by any other doctors at their hospital"

Yeah, especially considering that the IRB said the research was out of scope (specifically that it was not "human subject research") rather than indicating that it was ethical. Kind of like the distinction between a court not havi

How could a single student or professor possibly achieve that? Under the banner of "academic freedom" it is very hard to get someone fired because you don't like their research. It sounds like you're making impossible de

I seriously doubt this policy would have been adopted if other unrelated groups at the same university were submitting constructive patches.

There is no separate real world distinct from academia. Saying that scientists and researchers whose job it is to understand and improve the world are somehow becoming "increasingly disconnected from the real world" is a pretty ch
