You must be careful about recording things, because there are a lot of laws around that, and you can end up in more trouble yourself, as in, Federal law violation and go-to-jail trouble. See for instance: http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/recording-phone-calls-and-co... Though I would never recommend making decisions about that based on one web page.

For the sake of argument, assuming that this took place in California, that's a "two-party" consent state for recordings, which at least means you don't have a unilateral right to record anything you want. Exactly how that would interact with taking place on corporate property in a corporate setting is something you'd have to ask a lawyer about.

If you like everything being an expression, check out tcl. A lot of ideas from lisp show up in tcl, especially the idea of everything as an expression. Tcl embodies this idea while also having the look of an algol-like language. Funny it can pull this off while having basically no syntax.
A direct quote, or more detail would go a long way in helping others understand the situation. I don't see how either would identify specific individuals. In fact, she specifically says "her supervisor", which already calls out a specific individual.

For example, the supervisor jumping to her defense. What did he say, exactly? Or failing that, what was the situation, how did he defend her? All we get is that he defended her, and she interpreted it as being sexist...sometime later.

But that's because Sweden has open carrier fiber network, while the wireless network is carrier specific.

The US has basically that model for many other natural monopolies, and it works alright.

I think we could do with a bit more government investment in infrastructure, because government is really the only entity that can drop a trillion dollars, then wait 40-50 years for its returns. (Well, them and pension funds, but neither has exactly shown great financial prudence lately.)

I just... Have a hard time articulating why infrastructure is important, because it's just so glaringly obvious from my perspective that it is. I mean, we see infrastructure everywhere in nature -- from the layout of bacteria mats to ant colonies. The idea that our society can be vibrant without having to perform those basic functions is absurd.

So it makes sense that the lives which depend on the services should control the final delivery network when it's not possible to deploy more than one or two -- eg, FTTH should be utility, cellphones should be a market; roads should be (largely) public, etc.

If the US's power is its people, then infrastructure is what allows us to maintain and focus that power.
In reality, price discovery does not require any such monopoly. For example, the stock market is highly efficient at price discovery, yet there is no single monopolistic buyer who chooses prices for everyone who wants to purchase a stock.

I am aware of the debate as to whether index funds should be illegal (e.g. [1]), but I don't find them super compelling. Index investors are not, in fact, passive, they are merely investing in one particular direction, and active investors can trade against them if that direction is wrong.

Continuing the back of napkin calculations, to compare train cars with batteries:

Rail cars costing $10^5 can hold 100 metric tons or 10^5 kg each. Cost is $1/kg. This will be amortized over the system's useful life. 1000 meter height differential at 10 m/sec^2 stores 10^4 J/kg. System stores about 10^4 J/$.

Tesla's Powerwall stores 10 kWhr for $3500. That's about 10^4 J per $ (since an hour is 3600 seconds).

What surprises me is that these order-of-magnitude costs are about the same -- 10^4 Joules per dollar.

> I have skimmed over this article and unfortunately have to say ...

Yes I discounted everything you have said because you skimmed philosophy. At that one remark I discount anything you would say since Philosophy is 100% not skimmable and that was a dense article from one of the up and coming giants in contemporary philosophy.

> roughly 90% of philosophy publications are trash

One of the great fights is to keep philosophy relevant. In college, teaching philosophy has a large barrier which is students negative view of philosophy. It was always my motive to help students to discover philosophy as an awesome discipline that will expand their world and thought process. You just slammed 90% of your contemporaries.

From Article:
"Paul Feyerabend: “The younger generation of physicists, the Feynmans,
the Schwingers, etc., may be very bright; they may be more intelligent than their
predecessors, than Bohr, Einstein, Schrödinger, Boltzmann, Mach and so on.
But they are uncivilized savages, they lack in philosophical depth…”

The current upper academic culture has PhDs making broad sweeping comments in fields that they actually don't know enough about to make a conclusion. Stephen Hawking was guilty of doing the same thing about Philosophy.
I've been working on a secondary indexing module for redis with a subset of SQL WHERE for selection predicates, if anyone's interested. It's not stable yet, but it's coming along nicely.

The idea was actually NOT to create an SQL like database, but just proxy ordinary redis commands via secondary index. So you select ids, and perform HGET or HGETALL on them, etc. And the same goes for indexing - you perform something like HMSET and "through" the index, and it performs the operation while indexing the hash automatically.

Also, indexes can be used as direct data types with no automation, you just insert ids and tuples of data into them, and you can query them and get ids back.

Yeah, and how do you store NUL chars in those C strings then?

The answer is you can't. Because prefix-length strings (Pascal) are far better than null-terminated (C) strings.

Ok, I thought that Apple would scrub all keys from memory when the computer goes to sleep so that a computer that's asleep would not be vulnerable to the Cold Boot Attack. Seems strange they don't do that? Or would it make waking up too slow?
The point is that those estimates aren't actually accurate. That they mislead the end user so they don't belong in primary UI.

This article is nice to show that you can get the data from the command line (you can still get it elsewhere in macOS too) but the snark at Apple for saying they can't do it when it's in fact a deliberate design choice just makes the author look uninformed & petty.
For anyone new to office politics, or have not experienced hostile politics before, keep those in mind:

- Make sure to have some real friends at work. No, someone you work with everyday is not necessarily a real friend, you have to make real connections with them, so they are willing to defend and support you when things get tough.

- Be observant and empathetic, so you can notice problems when they first arise, and resolve them before they escalate. This is hard for engineers, as we focus on computers most of the time and don't get to practice the skills of empathy a lot.

- Be strong. Sometimes escalations do happen, and now you have one or more people dislike you and try to make your life hard. You need to be emotionally strong to withstand their attacks, and keep a clear mind to figure out a way to defeat them or at least reach a ceasefire.

Sadly, politics happen all the time when inter-personal interactions happen, not necessarily the result of one shady colleague with agendas. This could happen to anyone, although sadly more often to minorities, because it's harder to hide the fact that we are outsiders.

Most algorithms currently labeled machine learning are different in nature from original AI algorithms. Nowadays there is big emphasis in numerical algorithms, while in the past AI was about symbolic computation -- which is the biggest strength of Lisp. If you only use numerical algorithms, you can use Python or even FORTRAN.
Before compute resources became essentially free, Lisp took up rather more memory on the then-constrained commodity hardware than other languages. I remember being in awe of one of our developers who had a whopping 96MB on his machine - this was in the mid 1990s.

A man jumped to her defense, which was sexism, and then her co-workers got resentful, which she wanted to be defended from but wasn't, and that was sexism too

I would argue, quite strongly, that you're not in a position to make that call.

Being a privileged, white male it was hard for me to see what woman are put through in terms of casual sexism in the workplace and in society.

Since my girlfriend works as a secondary school teacher I see much clearer what's wrong and it's partially very subtle.

Here's an example: performance review? Criticism about how she dresses. This would never come up with one her male colleagues (and yes, she checked).

That's totally casual sexism over which you may "harumph!" about. But unless you're a woman (or another discriminated against minority) you're in no position to make that determination.

Not looking for her to "prove beyond all doubt".

But, there's several stories in there where a direct quote of what was said to her would be more enlightening than her interpretation as to the motive behind what was said. Or failing a direct quote...how about just the basis of his "defense" of her. Did he call out the high quality of her work (seems fine), or did he say to lay off because she was fragile (seems not fine), or what?

Her supervisor is a real person too, and I don't see why it's okay to post a public accusation without some detail other than just interpretation...what you think his intention was.

Edit: You keep saying I don't believe her. Didn't say that. It is, however, a post of public accusations, almost all based on something that was said....without a single direct quote of what was said, or even enough detail to understand why she interpreted them the way she did. That's odd to me, whether I believe her or not.

There's a big difference between "excruciating detail" and "almost no detail, and not a single direct quote".

I don't know about Apple but Microsoft has a pretty nasty way of handling user's Bitlocker keys.

If you use a Microsoft account, your key is automatically backed-up in Microsoft's cloud. Red flag #1.

Also, as the recent Bitlocker bypass "bug" showed us, Microsoft has some way of bypassing Bitlocker encryption when it performs updates on the system. I don't know if they have some kind of key escrow or what, but either way - red flag #2.

Of course, I'd say the bigger problem is that Microsoft doesn't even give the majority of Windows users the option to encrypt their computers, by restricting Bitlocker to expensive computers and Windows licenses, while every other operating system does. So the advice to "just use the built-in FDE" doesn't work for the majority of Windows users.
Yeah the level of dynamicness (dynamism?) you can get in tcl is unparalleled as far as I can see. Having no types or syntax and access to the entire runtime at any point in the program opens up all kinds of crazy doors. But you're right, that slows it down.

My brother, as a manager of a big team in Belgium, had once to face a complain to the HR about he harassing a secretary. The reaction of the company was immediate, and in my opinion the right one.

They contracted a specialize company to investigate, collect the facts and present their conclusions. The conclusions would be sent at the same time to the alleged victim, the HR and the manager.

In this case the conclusion was that there was no harassment according to legal definition. These argumented conclusions would have been presented to a trial as reference if any party would want to contest them.

The company performing the audit is specialized in it. So they can recognize a real harassment from an abusive claim. They also have no interest in the company. It is in the interest of the company to call them to get a leverage to apply whatever measure they would find appropriate. If the victim is an employee, and he/she would consider the reaction inappropriate and abusive, he/she could complain to a tribunal.

Today, a company that is not reacting like that (diligent an investigation by an independent party) to a harassment complain would be considered a priori suspect or would be consider to have failed complying to its duty because it is their responsibility to do so.
