nphase | 2 years ago | on: DOJ sues SpaceX for discriminating against asylees and refugees in hiring

A friend with specific knowledge about these suits just informed me that these lawsuits are in fact incredibly common. Many large companies have multiple open audits with the feds at any given time over alleged discriminatory practices - in fact so many of them occur that there is a cap set for how many of them can be open at any given time. This is less political or specific than it appears at face value.

Conversely, there is the XY fallacy: when one [frequently condescendingly] assumes they know better than the person asking, errantly classifies it as an XY problem, and fails to answer the original question.

These are all over the place in Frankfurt. They are unmanned and nondescript, it's literally just the door you exit through. There are no lights or anything, but somehow they make it seem pretty clear that it's just to keep people from slipping through in the unintended direction.

Interesting concept.. might want to highlight the destination a bit more prominently. When carrying multiple boarding passes, prominently displaying departure point and destination will make it easier to make sure you have the wrong one out at time of boarding..

> If you’re using JSON and your JSON is a mix of types, goooooood luck. You’ll have to create a custom struct that matches the format of your JSON blob, and then Unmarshall the raw json into an instance of your custom struct. Much more work than just obj = json.loads(json_blob) like we’re used to in Python land.

I believe you can use json.NewEncoder().Encode() to arbitrarily deal with interface{}'s
