"enforced the contract by suing"

What did the contract say? The only contract I saw in the original story noted that if adds were forced on them some people could leave with more stock..... that wouldn't have prevented anything.
Anecdotally, we considered using the hosted versions of Jupyter and Apache Zeppelin that are part of AWS SageMaker and EMR. We couldn't figure out a simple/familiar workflow for keeping the notebooks under version control. So, we agreed to run the notebooks locally, use a familiar Git-based workflow, and interact with the AWS infrastructure through the local notebook instances.

I've worked at big ad supported companies. Many of my colleagues use ad blockers. I generally don't, but I did install one on my child's computer that's used to play flash games from a site that's directed at children, but runs alcohol ads, and ran multiple autoplay with sound ads at the same time, and also the cpu required for ads made the games unplayable.

From a moral side, it doesn't feel right to make money from something that I can turn off, but many people can't. Also, if I'm not seeing the ads, I'm not experiencing my product how the majority of my users do. I also have avoided getting an expensive phone, and I do most of my home browsing from inexpensive computers; partly because I'm cheap, but also because so many of my users don't have nice phones, so using nice phones means I'm disconnected from my users (my current phone is probably too nice, but it was cheap; and my work laptop is rather overpowered, but I didn't pick that)

There was talk about independence but no indication that facebook was paying bazillions and were going to leave them alone for long. The founders even knew it enough to note the possibility of having ads forced on them in their contracts.

I'm no fan of facebook, but justification is ... it is their product.

I hate the "similar values" proposition, like that's something practical to align with the working members of teams. How about the same attitude and similar ability? Measuring that is not easy, but it's a heck of a lot easier than trying to measure "values".
I work at a place where I am a fly on the wall, listening to these ad teams, and let me tell you, they honestly believe this kind of bullshit honestly works and matters.

They hotly debate the virtues of deceptive dark patterns, and, man, are they assholes to boot. They also blow cash on retarded shit like juiceros, and bro-compare their juicero-type schlock and tchotchke collections unironically, and sometimes with transparent envy of one another. It's as bad as you might imagine.

After lunch, when they really get going, with their mind-blowingly vapid conversations, I have to blast my eardrums with tinnitus inducing audio, in order to quarantine my mind from their stunting world views.

When Douglas Adams imagined the Golgafrinchans, I have to believe that he was in the presence of the these sorts of people, when he dreamt up that little tidbit.

It is my ardent belief that the only way to divest society of such parasitic blooms of "humanity" really is to blast them into outer space, but in order to do so, we have to learn to be really careful about how we sanitize our telephones first.

This is not a very common remark however.
No not really. One of the biggest attractions of OoO is that it helps you find parallelism at the instruction level. So OoO as an architectural technique is one of the most helpful to problems hard to parallelize. The problem is there is a limited window of instructions where it can be applied. Trying to make one massive processor to find huge amounts of instruction level parallelism is just too hard.
Then what's the problem? They don't like their co-workers so they quit their job. Unless Facebook staffers were effectively creating a hostile environment specifically to lusb out the WA guys to claw back their unvested equity.

True, but let's say you bought a DSLR camera, wouldn't it irritate you if the manufacturer was secretly uploading your pictures elsewhere for others to use against you?

Android either doesn't enable PMTU detection, or it's only enabled in recent versions, or it's configured such that it's not effective. I've seen pcaps with iOS devices doing it though.

I don't think Google would intentionally filter out the ICMP fragmentation needed packets, but there are lots of problems actually getting them, between routers that drop packets without sending them, firewalls that drop all ICMP, and NAT devices that don't know how to direct them to the underlying client.

Edit: sorry I really mean PMTU probing. If you got a connection, but no acks when you send a large packet, after a significant timeout, it's worth trying to send smaller packets, even if you didn't get an icmp that says you should.
Esimov/pigo: Golang implementation of Pico face detection library
I just don't see any evidence of a "lie" in the New York Times article. And if I add my Facebook account to iOS, of course I realize that I'm trusting Apple in that scenario.

This whole controversy feels manufactured.
I gathered all that from the article, but how is "has bone crud on his staples (sic) [...] He breaks the staple free" different from "Early on they used staples mobilization to knock the bone crud off"? Was the new version done in a way that didn't risk leaking the fluid? And wouldn't it still get stuck again after some time, requiring more operations, just like before?

Just put together a first gen Threadripper build for work a few months ago where out-of-the-box ECC support was too good to pass up for a box with >= 64GiB DRAM. If it’s possible to do a drop-in upgrade (cooling solution not withstanding) then this will be a big deal as we have basically not seen backwards compatibility, especially with such a compelling upgrade, in this part of the market in over a decade from Intel.

But 16 to 32 cores is a leap (250W TDP!!!!!), so I wonder what cooling solutions will remain viable (e.g., what about the TR4 edition Noctua cooler made just for TR?)
Probably doable, but for some small features, I imagine getting sufficient flow would be difficult. Molten glass is super corrosive, and the rheological properties vary widely. It's difficult to work with and highly temperature sensitive, all features that just make it a tricky medium.

Totally doable, but not exactly easy.
The Internet transitioned from a place that felt very 'underground' in the 80s/90s to this advertiser/data driven retain-every-piece-of-user-data world. It has moved from something that was sort of decentralized to something that is very centralized, particularly in the hands of large companies, so now we need laws to constrain those companies.
that's a large __init.py__
There's a bunch even on that list. I had a look at ffind, the second on the page and found nothing to test if the output was tty or otherwise.

Generally though, I'm not out to point fingers, it's just a fact that not all software is complete and bug-free. We're all people with limited time and we don't have the attention to detail that dealing with the maliciously compliant children that computers are takes.
> There aren't a whole lot of (i.e. _any_) good actors because the market does not incentivize them

Apple is a pretty good actor in this regard though, and they're clearly betting a lot on markets to realize the attractiveness of that.

> This is why Right to Repair legislation has become necessary, for example.

I'm not sure I see how a "bad" actor (maybe like Apple) in terms of the Right to Repair is relevant in the context of trusting device manufacturers. If anything I think Apple's (somewhat self-serving albeit not completely detached from reality) argument would be, and has been e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11047359, that their control of device repairs and servicing decreases the risk of malicious software or hardware components being installed.
No, but they could have bled Facebook further with more stock, which is fairly freely convertible.

> the idea that someone in authority can, in advance, create a set of rules that we can blindly follow to a successful outcome is insane for all but the most desperate situations.

I can think of two redeeming qualities for such sets of rules, if applied and understood correctly:

1. Eliminating indecision. If figuring out what to do is too difficult (or none of the options are better than others), you have a somewhat sane defaults to fall back to. Indecision has costs too.

2. Making things more predictable upstream. Authorities may make up some rules that may not be most effective when applied by the bottom line, but they normalize the entire bottom line, making it easier to manage. This is similar to what we do with frameworks in software - we trade efficiency and flexibility for consistency, in order to build an abstraction layer that's less complex to work with. Misapplied, this of course leads to tragic/comical examples, both in organizations and in software (e.g. Electron).
Is there any evidence that has happened? That sounds like it goes directly against the APIs terms of service. If device manufacturers are doing that, they could equally upload your passwords from the browser.

Consider this situation from the perspective of a biological person. A biological person has resource limitations in terms of effort, concentration and resources. When you're already worth say 10bn each, your primary limitation is time and effort, which doesn't scale. Do you really want to squander your personal time and effort on increasing your net worth by 5%? Not likely. You have the next horizon to conquer and you have plenty of cash.

That's not how lifetimes work, and their strength is not in stopping memory leaks: both because they do not do that, and because memory leaks aren't the biggest problem.

Rust's lifetimes record when values are valid and when they're not that exist in the code statically (essentially the same ones that exist in C++ code), in a way that allows the compiler to check that they're being used correctly, that a valid (i.e. "can be used") value never points to or uses an invalid one.

The top end Threadripper 1 16c/32t was priced at $1k. I don't think this is going to be much more than that. $1499 max is my guess. (Disclaimer: I own AMD stock so I am optimistic)
Oh no, I meant in the context of the news media. I think its great that you see people working on the problem at conferences and I hope they find breakthroughs. My knowledge is very limited and this isn't my area of expertise obviously. I am into small farming. But it interest me and recently I discovered Nitazoxanide and read about how scientist and doctors found out it cures Hep-B and almost cures Hep-C, and the flu -- all viruses, which is pretty amazing to me because it is an antibiotic not a antivirus. It also prevents the creation of biofilm of lyme. Apparently the Hep-B/C discovery lead to a whole new class of treatments that are about to come out or will be.

My problem is journalist blaming farmers. Two of my products are THC and CBD based. If I made outrageous medical claims or concerns like these journalist, I would lose my livelyhood by regulators. It just grinds my gears that we get the blame for all of this when we want good positive solutions to real problems as well. If the journalist were halfway decent they would figure out that the antibiotics are all about crop/livestock insurance. Farmers are smart people to, just yesterday I got a request to isolate THCV for apparently its neurogensis properties. They wanted a strain that has zero delta-9 THC, the illegal one, for medical purposes. We want good things as well and you can bet your buttons if I login, and see farmers getting blamed for some supposed crisis like creating super bugs that are going to wipe out humanity, I'll look into it-- and call them out on it.
Do you mean for liquid-cooled solutions only? We've been using this Noctua U14S TR4-SP3 (https://noctua.at/en/nh-u14s-tr4-sp3) on a 1950X (no overclock though) without issues.

> I don't feel the diversity should be sought for its own sake. The best applicant should be hired every single time - although I do feel that it is okay to consider diversity as a tie-breaker when choosing between equally qualified candidates.

That would be ideal, but that's not how hiring works. If it was, we'd have a far more diverse workforce.

On the first day of hiring 101, they teach you that people tend to hire others who are like themselves; it's just instinct. I've had recruiters bring me candidates who all were the same race and gender as I am, and within about 5 years of my age. I didn't even realize it until I thought about that principle.

But even more than that, people hire others that they know, and the people we know are dictated by the established social structure. Thus the structure is self-reinforcing, unless you actively do something to stop it, you perpetuate it. Upper middle-class white guys generally don't know many black or Latino people; they know other guys like themselves from growing up, from college, etc., so that's who they do business with.

Steve Ballmer got his job because he knew Bill Gates at Harvard; what was the chance that Gates' classmate was going to be black or Latino, or that his buddy would be a woman? Dropbox initially got an intro to YC because Drew Houston had been big brother in an MIT fraternity to another YC founder.[0] How diverse is that fraternity? There's zero chance of the big brother being female; is the chance much higher of being black or Latino? Drew did a great job, but how many Drews are out there that never got the chance? Given that white guys are ~33% of the U.S. population but the overwhelming number of founders, CEOs, etc., I'd guess most 'Drews' never get an opportunity. (Worldwide the number is far greater, of course.)

And what is that theory based-on?

Psychedelic research has been slow for years, and it's partly due to reasons such as people believing that a mushroom is a mechanism for communicating with intelligent life throughout the cosmos. I'm not saying the theory is wrong (though I'm pretty certain it's wrong) - but given that we have zero proof of intelligent life outside of Earth, and that the speed of light is a limiting factor in the speed communication (ignoring entanglement as a potential form of communication for now), how has it been extrapolated that a mushroom could be the solution to these limits?

It's likely the theory has come from a user of psychedelics, and one thing that frequent users of psychedelics fail to understand at the time (this is from experience) is that reality is pretty slippery. I would estimate that in a single year (a few years ago) I experimented with N,N-Dimethyltryptamine 200+ times and that's just the kind of theory that I'd come up with at the time.
Yeah the problem that keeps, and keeps and keeps coming back is that cloud based software gives too much control to the software authors.

Because that's where the ground of your argument sits: because of server-side "rendering" the data must be sent to the servers of the software author, in this case Huawei but doubtless many others, instead of to the device that actually displays the information.

... and that's exactly why everybody's doing cloud based software. Because it allows them to abuse this. And once they've got the customer by the ... they ask money for that.

Cloud based software is how the author of a todo-list app can hold users' data hostage more effectively, more detrimetentally to the customer than Microsoft's monopoly that was blown up in the cause of justice.
