That’s kind of a disrespectful way to deal with someone, going in with the idea their mind needs to be changed. Nothing productive comes from telling someone they’re wrong.

I’ve found the most movement comes with frank and respectful exchange of ideas. I’ve moved a little as a result, and I’ve seen others move a bit too. Sometimes that movement has come simply from recognizing the other party isn’t as insane as common rhetoric would paint them.
There are still locomotive-at-the-front trains in Europe, and on these I've never noticed being able to walk through to the locomotive from the carriages.

I have found the term for the more modern type: "Multiple Unit" [0]. Smaller motors are installed on many axles, the same as a metro train. It seems they're more reliable and cheaper to run (less wear on the track due to a better distribution of weight), but I agree with the noise issue — I prefer it when I travel on a locomotive-hauled train, since the interior is close to silent.

A site like [1] has a few train interior (and exterior) photos aimed at foreign tourists in Europe, rather than railfans. [2] will get boring quickly, but shows a European view of modern intercity trains.

Ah yes... perks. Makes those endless late nights a bit less awful. Plus you get to work on such wonderful stuff! The Juicero team is probably still swollen with um... pride.

Above average salary paired with wasaay above average cost of living and nightmare commutimg.

Plus a chance at striking it rich which is somewhere between playing Powerball and the nickel slots.

But hey, at least most of you love what you do, and wouldn’t choose to use your skills in a more productive way. I’m sure that a group who talks endlessly about FOSS doesn’t mind Google’s vision. Sure the FB team believes in privacy, but just one more pull on the slots!

Edit: @Dang

I disagree, and your dislike of my style stopped bothering me a while ago.

So save your breath for threatening people with orders of magnitude more time here than me with bans, and then hilariously pleading with their sockpuppets to respect that ban. I am not impressed.
If it that dialog fired every time I clicked reply-all, I would start ignoring that dialog, especially if it was annoying.
This is a bit kafka-esque:

> You need to be connected to the internet to download this installer file, but once that's done, you can then install Office offline on a PC at your convenience.

> ...

> After your Office installation is complete, you need to activate Office. Be sure you're connected to the Internet and then open any Office application, such as Word or Excel.

I mean the lede is "problems with slow speed or unreliable connections" but at the same time ... offline is offline.
I found them buried in some menus that I didn't see last time I tried to opt out. Settings->Notifications->Your Contributions. There were about a dozen things that I decided to turn off, in addition to my previous choices regarding deletion of my location history, home address, etc.
Snap still hasn't found its place. Although Spiegel is, in many ways, in an enviable position (extremely wealthy in his 20s), he also isn't. Facebook basically decimated Snapchat stories, and Snapchat is trying to become my generation (and the next's) Us Weekly. I think most people bet on them as a social media and technology company, not a tabloid rag.

But user acquisition is down, the Spectacles were a flop, and their new re-design has been met with a resounding "meh." I'm curious what their next move will be. These layoffs might be a sign of things to come.
People use the word 'censor' to mean so many different things, it's not possible to assert anything coherent in general. We do some of those things, there are others we don't do, and it's not as if any of it is secret. Some people like to ask questions about this stuff and get answers, others prefer to rage against the machine. To each their own.

Can anyone recommend a Solidity / Ethereum video course on Udemy or elsewhere?
I refer video courses. Udemy has quite a few, hoping to get some recommendations from someone that has done one. I have years of experience in HTML, CSS, JS, Rails, and a little bit of React.

> the tooling for using emscripten with rust is superior

emscripten is no longer required for Rust to target WASM. There is a new target of wasm32-unknown-unknown. This project gives you quick bootstrap instructions into WASM with Rust:

Very quick to get started with, and the examples get you going quickly. I just used it yesterday (nothing fancy), and everything worked right out of the box.

Blood test to detect 8 cancers early gives promising results
Yea... technology at large scale has, countless times, been a large detrimental to large amounts, if not all, members of societies. I can already see the hyperintelligent AI realizing the only way to force pliability amongst very slow-to-change socialized humans is what many throughout our history have also learned - force and slavery allow the cogs to adapt to where you need them. I'd rather not be totured because I don't modify my behaviors to keep up with the ever-changing, cost-optimizing algorithms that be.

Also are you suggesting that, instead of the standard dystopian model of AI overthrowing humans, that we, instead, have a revolution to put AI in the place to do all that it may? That would be ironic. More realistically, no one would join in the bloodiest revolution in human history for the glorious resolution of running our government on AWS.

Fictitious fun thoughts aside, and to quote J. Tillman, I'd rather not have the "world [be] written in lines of code." And, to be honest, your response is exactly the type of extreme SV character response I'd write in mocking hyperbole on a site where those very ideals might, quite frighteningly, actually be lurking.
> That being said, I do not like what Amazon has done to Seattle. The culture, infrastructure housing, etc, etc.

I'm a Seattle transplant and I've heard this point before. Can you elaborate a bit more on what you mean by the culture changes brought by tech transplants?
The social dynamics in academia and industry are very different. And even the nature of the work is different - there are very different expectations about software quality, repeatability, etc. for even a CS researcher and a software engineer in industry, let alone for engineers in other fields. (Some amount of software engineering practice has been creeping into CS academia from shared points of contact, like open-source projects or students taking industry internships, but there's still quite a gap.) You're essentially not rewarded for your operational excellence at all in academia. You're not expected to have writing as a primary skill in industry. And so forth. Even if we ignored social dynamics, the day-to-day work is very different and attracts different people to start with. And the means of recognition and reward are also very different.

I would expect a limited effect difference if I believed that the primary reason people stay in/leave a field is because of their inherent aptitude towards the fundamental nature of the work - but I don't believe that.

It's so sad to me to see that this only has 5 points over 8 hours, and no comments.

This is remarkably well-written, goes into a very reasonable amount of depth (only eliding context-specifically sensitive material) and demonstrates an appropriate level of thoroughness. Most importantly it highlights the critical significance of further research into medical devices.

Last time I happened to be in an ER triage unit I remember noting that the blood pressure monitors decidedly weren't networked, and they verified the pulse measurements manually (by counting) as well.

It's clear that BP/pulse is such an important measurement that strict redundancy is the standard, but IMO it would be awesome to see the same attitude applied to the manufacturing stages of all devices in medical environments.
> It would only not work for Linux-based graphics development, but even then, you can get a second GPU

My impression is that dGPU "hot" swapping between non-running guests has gotten easier. But that swapping to host after a guest is still a hardware/drivers/kernel "maybe it just works, or maybe you can't get there from here".
The Case Against Education: Why the Education System Is a Waste
I'm really liking the pixelbook hardware. My only complaint is that I wish it was a hair thicker with a U series instead of Y series processor. Those couple extra mm and a small fan will get you a 30% general boost and a 50%+ sustained boost in performance.
Ran into the ARP scale issues when trying to put 1000 containers on a system for scale testing over year ago. strace helped figure out where the issues was and what settings to change. I guess I should have sent an email to the mailing list. At that time if you searched for scaling to 1000 docker contains was a failed search, as it was "hey here is how I scaled to 1000 containers over X numbers of nodes". No one was crazy enough to try to get 1000 on a single machine.
You mix UI and UX polish, and the UX on OpenOffice is honestly not very good ... I only had to use it the other day and struggled with finding half a dozen things that are just obvious with Word.
40% of tech workers in Seattle are foreign (from ~11% ~25 years ago). I saw this figure yesterday, and it might be what you are thinking of.
Much of this is the result of high retail rental prices where there are no vacancy taxes to push property companies to rent out their units. The key issue here is that in rapidly gentrifying neighborhoods, the term on most retail leases is too long, where property owners know that if they wait it out, they will eventually find a tenant willing to pay a high premium on the space.

If they were willing to offer the space to a dive bar for 1000 a month, they would have no problem finding a tenant. The issue is they are asking for far more than that, where they only want tenants such as boutique stores or restaurants that are relatively clean.
> Difference is that tech poses itself as "new" (i.e. different from old, traditional things/companies) and its leaders (actual business magnates or your average CEO) either indirectly or directly talk about making the world/people better.

No, a very few Silicon Valley businesses pose themselves as new and its leaders talk about "making the world/people better". These aren't representative of the whole worldwide IT sector, which is no more "feminist" than the coal industry.

> Also, stories on tech (maybe because of the above?) are trendier. No one cares if a factory or finance firm have toxic cultures (because we all expect them to?).

Many of the people here are too young to remember how Wall street used to be seen as a "left wing" sector in the 90's the same way "big tech" is now. Ironically shun by leftist activists today as the "personification of the devil".

Wall St finance used to be called the "new money" sector as opposition to the "old money" which was the core of the republican elite. And the same way, some financial companies and CEO claimed to be something new and make the world better. So the irony of your statement...
Correlation is not causation! This article says, very high IQ is anti-correlated with perception of effectiveness.

That might be because having a high IQ causes people to perceive you as less effective.

It also might be because having really high IQ makes you more likely to be promoted, and is independent of other traits (like charisma or conscientiousness) which impact perception of effectiveness and therefore the population of people promoted without really high IQ tends to score higher on those other traits on average. Selection bias, in other words.

Based on the evidence presented, we just don’t know. Everyone arguing over why very high IQ “causes” the effect we are seeing might just be making stuff up, because we don’t know if there is a causal relationship at all.

So, maybe male privilege exist, but so do female privilege:

In my childhood girls were never beaten. Boys were by each other.

During my studies girls got extra study points for higher education - just for being girls. IIRC this held true even for studies who were mostly girls anyway, like nurse and chemistry. (This has been fixed to some degree now I think so boys will now get extra study points if they apply for nurse studies.)

At work they count and celebrate how many women we have. In a way it feels obvious since we want equality. But lets not pretend it's 50/50 if two equal candidates come through the door and hiring one of them will make your stats look nicer.
Do it in person and don't approach it as a conversation specifically about politics - "Did you see x in the news? Crazy huh?" is better than "Here is this hilarious meme about Republicans/Democrats!" etc.
Thanks much for investing the time to carefully reply!
You turned off flags, but now you’re doing something else yourself. You’re being honest, but not really telling the whole story.

Your thumb is very much on the scale however, where existing community sentiment doesn’t do the job.

Edit: I didn’t intend to be cryptic or confuse you. I mean just that proclaiming you’ve put one of many tools on the shelf for this thread in no way implies what you tried to imply.
Part of me says that if they wanted to set up shop in Toronto they would have just done it, and not gone out of their way to attract attention like they have.

But on the other hand, if they want to run a PR campaign on the basis of "we seriously considered many US cities, and Toronto was a better option", they're certainly putting in the groundwork for that.
I largely share your incredulity, but allow me to make a more optimistic counterpoint.

I frequently change my mind, which is proof that one or more people out there are changing at least one person's mind. And here's the thing: in nearly all cases, the person or, more often, the people who change my mind never know it. I am often stubborn in the moment and unwilling to admit I've been swayed. More often, I don't realize that I have been swayed until I revisit the conversation over the next months, while adding in new information from other conversations or things I'm reading with a developing perspective. Sometimes my mind changes so slowly that I don't even notice it did until someone quotes back to me the now (obviously! objectively!) wrong thing I used to think.

My point is this: you may be changing minds without knowing it. And another point: even if you aren't, you are likely benefitting personally from having meaningful conversations with people.
I'm a journalist so I get about a zillion PR pitches every day. My email experience is by far not the worst out there, but it's enough to annoy me. I get ~60-100 emails per day.

If you're talking about fiduciary duty, one, that only applies to public companies, and two, no, that's not what it means.

How do you transport 4 kids and groceries on an NYC subway? If elevators exist at all they are pissed-filled containers for mentally deranged homeless. Trains are overcrowded. People making statements like banning cars are likely single people that never had to push a stroller across NYC during rush hour.. or any hour for that matter.

Public transport is ridiculously inefficient when you have to buy more than you can carry or have babies or toddlers or young kids. I suppose we should just eliminate kids as well in order to make the perfect urban utopia?

And what about when it’s 10 degrees in NYC? Walking on freezing streets to stations blocks away isn’t too fun.

Shitcoin vs. buttcoin: a dummies guide to cryptocurrency manipulation
Your second paragraph is answered by post-9/11 American foreign policy in Iraq (to say the least). But just to echo that answer, yes - Halliburton (and plenty of other private military, security, cyber security service companies) did and continues to thrive off war profiteering. War is an economy. That's why the military-industrial complex is discussed so frequently. Not many other nations subsidize an entire market segment to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars a year. One that, again, generates profit off of the selling of weapons and arms to be used against other human beings.
Not only that but car insurance is for catastrophic events, not for tune ups, and oil changes.
UPMC. It's both an insurance company, and a chain of hospitals. And Dr.'s offices, and well, pretty much everything.

Not sure which came first though, hospital or insurance company.
I don't know if this is my conservatism speaking or not, but one problem I see with this approach is that you wouldn't learn as much because more batteries are included. Having to implement more than just a kernel (like the standard library and userland) gives you more of a chance to learn intangibles like what is or isn't appropriate to include in an API or what programs will actually be useful given your overall design. Also, there could be the problem of not having as many resources available in the language you're writing your OS in. That's a huge deal for a less experienced programmer.

That all being said, Zig looks pretty okay. It would be a good candidate to write an OS if you had to because the standard library looks trivially portable so you could test the userland on a known working kernel before getting it working on your new kernel.
There's a lot of moralizing in this, without numbers justifying it. Show me the evidence that an overwhelming majority of costs come from few recalcitrant bad actors vs things like cancers, expensive surgical or drug remedies of rare diseases, or just plain expensive end-of-life care (a somewhat separate discussion from the others, but a conversation that'll have to be had sometime).

Without that... the costs will always be unevenly distributed due to the nature of illness, that's why the only sane first-step health policy is mandated universal insurance coverage, public or private, since the main question is who is going to get the bad news that they've got the unlucky genes/mutated cells/whatever. Everyone pays in, everyone gets covered if/when they need it.

And if you pay in your whole life and never get seriously ill? That's not a reason to complain, that's a reason to thank your lucky stars you didn't have to deal with being seriously ill or injured! It's not fucking fun, like sick people are trying to get a free ride here.

This, sorry, were different times, however I admire the patience of this man.

Today it is possible for someone to hear, watch and read only fake news all day without having any kind of dissenting viewpoint, compared to prior times where the only exposure was the weekly KKK gathering and maybe some letters. It is way harder (or impossible!) to break through the psychological walls the exposure to this shit creates.

In addition, today's fake news and right wing propaganda is specifically engineered to appeal to the lowest prime instincts only, and Facebook's algorithms only intensify the problem as they keep feeding you more and more poison.
