So distractions, learning disorders, depression, note taking techniques have all been covered already but not interest.

Does the subject matter just bore you? Do you not know why it matters? Do you have only a vague handle on how it fits into the big picture? Does it seem like the subject 'doesn't affect anything?' Perhaps you just need to get excited about learning the subject or have a concrete application of it before you can learn it effectively. I know that subjects in physics which I love (e.g. astronomy and optics) I would just plow through and test well in, but subjects which seemed less interesting to me were a struggle. In some subjects I just needed to know why they mattered, like economics seemed totally boring and irrelevant until right around the 2008 housing crunch and then suddenly I couldn't stop reading and learning about it!

Even if one of the other problems discussed is your primary obstacle it may still help to talk with your Professors and Tutors and see why they are passionate about the subject. Ask them, why does the subject matter? How does it fit into the big picture? What are interesting applications you can inspect, measure, mess around with etc?
Intel discloses new L1 Terminal Fault vulnerability
Can you please elaborate on your GPU passthrough setup? I was under the impression that NVIDIA have explicit checks to see if you're trying to virtualize a consumer brand GPU and throw an error in that case.

I have a PC with a GTX 970 that I wanted to try a similar install on, unfortunately the i5-3570K in there doesn't support VT-d from what I can tell.
> It optimizes for the completely wrong qualities necessary for a directorship, and I could easily see it hurting the workers more than helping them.

No it doesn't (see other people can make completly unqualified statements too).
This is, by far, the best comment in this thread. It explains clearly, with simple arithmetic, that Marx's dream is already available to labor via the machinations of capitalism.
I thought Pai already gave a response weeks ago.

> I am deeply disappointed that the FCC’s former Chief Information Officer (CIO) [David Bray], who was hired by the prior Administration and is no longer with the Commission, provided inaccurate information about this incident to me, my office, Congress, and the American people.

This information is conspicuously absent from the article. Was the statement revoked?
>Giving workers power in their workplace is exactly "enacting laws that made it harder for people to get screwed..

I changed the wording from "people" to "consumers" to better reflect what her work was actually about. Not all people are consumers (in a given context), not all customers are consumers, not all customers are consumers and not all

> by predatory business practices".

"Predatory business practices" are generally understood as being directed towards consumers, customers or the competition. We have a whole different vocabulary for discussing businesses that are bad to work for. Predatory business practices are categorically different than profits not being reflected in employee compensation on a macro level and I don't think anyone is going to suggest that addressing one will have much effect on the other.

>You seem to be doing some circular thinking? Workers do literally all the work, the business cannot survive with no workers

Literally everyone in the company is a "worker", CEO included.

>Want to tell me why workers shouldn't have a say yet shareholders who do literally nothing except thirst for profit get all of the say?

Under what circumstances do truck drivers get to choose where the truck goes, what it transports, etc? The share holders own the business and get to exercise indirect control over it in a similar manner as a company telling a hired driver what to do. They get to call the shots but are

There's also the aspect of risk involved in being a shareholder.

I didn't say employees should have no say, just that 40% seems quite excessive and likely to have negative side effects.
Ah gotcha. Ok I'll do that then. Thanks
If the worker are so important to the business, then they already have power and they don’t need directors.

My impression of similar system in France where unions attempt to represent the worker was rather bitter. They act in the interest of the union itself, not the workers.
As a worker, as was there to be part of a successful organization, yet union opposed directions that made sense for the organization based on some political agenda.
Another speculative execution side-channel cache timing vulnerability, a la https://meltdownattack.com

Related disclosure from DigitalOcean: https://blog.digitalocean.com/a-message-about-l1tf/

Intel is evasive about the precise attack scenario, but DigitalOcean reports "an attacker could theoretically use one Droplet to view another Droplet’s memory," implying that the side-channel is invasive (that is, theft of data is possible) rather than cooperative (that is, data can be intentionally leaked between processes, a less harmful sort of side-channel).
>Want to explain to me how this is even a bad thing?

I believe Germany can do even better if they can find ways to reduce the ratio of people in workforce to welfare recipients. Don't forget, we talk about that in the context of EU. Germany is carrying half of EU on its shoulders.

>it sounds like the Germans have solidarity for their fellow people/workers and realize everyone should be provided the basics for a peace of mind

Doing just "basics for a peace of mind" is doable with not much less, but nevertheless less money. The few developer countries in Asia can show how to do that well. My main criticism is that Germany's welfare is more expensive that that of other countries because not only direct payouts are moderately high, but welfare paid infrastructure and services are taking quite a lot too: lifts for pedestrian overpasses in the middle of nowhere, free transit ticket for people with minimal and non-mobility hampering disabilities,
access to free housing (depending on a state) for people with income that qualifies as high in countries just across the border... and on and on

Big issue with all extensive welfare systems in the West is that in them, needs of people in need are not being known by people who are entrusted with administering welfare to them. I can easily pull out many example of welfare states where people in need live miserably. When the welfare does not benefit to the person in need, what's use of it? In that case it just becomes wasted money.

With all my militant atheism, I can give high mark to welfare administrators in the gulf region. Zakat distribution by mosques is very straightforward, addressing needs of people in need in the most straightforward way.

>and overall better workers that can rest and enjoy life outside of work.

I believe a professionals can enjoy life even more if they simply get higher salaries. In that context, I believe that German labour councils serve a good role, making people understand that "they can't milk a dead cow."

It is very good when both sides can come to terms knowing how much money they can extract from the business before it kicks the bucket.

Reading this article made me realize what it is that's broken about the concept of semantic markup and why websites even today are div soup.

It's the same reason why divs won in the first place. You can't dictate the shape of a document to people and it be anything other than a kludge.

Take the site I work on, Great Big Story[1]. We have sections and headers, but our content isn't defined by text, it's defined by graphics and videos, with little metadata sections on the video player page that I suppose could be semantic if we had the right descriptive tags. I use semantic markup when it seems to make sense, but we have so many weird little needs to introduce elements just for styling purposes.

Take a recent example, I need four elements to make a styled file input form. Two labels, one to look like a button and can be clicked, taking advantage of the browser behavior of treating clicks on the label to be clicks on the form. The other label is the actual label, could be just a span if I wanted, it doesn't have the htmlFor attribute set. The actual form input button is hidden using CSS tricks because the actual button can't be styled. Finally there's the filename display, which is set to the filename of whatever was uploaded or the existing one if present. This uses Javascript callbacks to get set.

None of these elements are semantic, legacy cruft keeps the markup from being simple and readable. I suppose you could demand our video presentation site to be a motherfucking website[2], but I fail to see how that will actually improve much of anything and would just hurt our brand. I'm getting a little tired of coder hatred for web fashion. It keeps us all employed.

But I think we're at least 10 years out from being able to actually use semantic markup. Web standards and browser vendors still have some maturing to do.

Yes. Go ahead and publish them. I dare you to. At best there are only marginal negative shifts. So please list all the data that you have.

Furthermore you’re behaving as if having ambitious goals for a government is bad. I would rather have an optimistic, ambitious government that gets somewhere near the goal than a lazy “realistic” government that always ends up underestimating itself.

Reaching a goal isn’t necessarily as important as simply producing a better product. Having a high expectations is a prerequisite to creating a great product. There are, again, so many improvements that India has achieved recently.
You know very well that I didn't mean that Germans literally medicated themselves into happiness. (AIUI, that's more an American thing.)

My point is that a life of comfort is not the ideal to which we should aspire, and that humanity's accomplishments have not come from people who didn't want to bother exerting themselves.

As I've said previously, European social policy is basically rest-and-vest at civilization scale.
A less glib way of putting this is that in structural engineering construction costs dwarf design costs, while in software engineering the reverse is true.

If your construction phase consists of "type 'make' and grab a coffee" and the most expensive part is the coffee, then any efficiencies you can find in the design process will make a big difference to your bottom line.

If your construction phase costs tens of millions of dollars, you'll want to invest in designing more efficient construction methods rather than worry about tweaking the design process.
I am not a fan of Warren or Bernie would do have some practical questions for how this might function for someone who believes this is a good idea. I am skeptical but open-minded.

- Does every employee get an equal vote? Is it weighted at all by seniority, hours worked, salary? In a company like Starbucks where most employees are baristas what would stop them from joining forces with a small number of investors and looting the company's assets?

-Do employees get a vote if they are contractors? Could a company simply set up hundreds of shell corporations and hire those corporations to prevent employee votes? If not, would you get a vote at every company you contract for?

-Is there any concern that this could lead to a slowdown of new hiring? Right now a company may make 1B in income in a year and decide to invest the majority of it to open new locations or expand business. Do we think this would ever happen under this system - or would that money be given as short term profit? Would employees not want expansion which could possible benefit "the corporation" in the long run because it would cut into their bonus that year.
> But I don't think it is that bad of a measure to counter religious extremism and radicalism. Similar measures are in place or planned in U.S. (Muslim registry, surrendering your social media accounts upon immigration check-in).

While it’s true that “similar measures are in place in the US,” I’m not sure everyone agrees it’s “not that bad of a measure...” People in the US have been outraged over these proposals; using them as an example of normalization is disingenuous at best.
The paradox in terms is entirely intentional. It is supposed to make you stop and think, "How can this be?", because it pushes back against many qualities often traditionally associated to leaders. So in fact, I stand corrected, and the phrase has done it's job in communicating to you exactly what was intended. It is not meaningless after all!

(Also, I agree that to self-identify as a servant-leader is not a humble thing to do. But that's true of self-identifying with just about any virtue.)

How is an un-self-aware manager ever going to be effective at anything?

The author notes your objection, and addresses it:

"There’s a fine line to be walked between managing the pull request process and micro-managing it. What happens within any specific pull request is the domain of the team so you should resist the urge to intervene frequently within the process itself. The behavioural trends in the process are your domain and if you’re running a meta-review process well your work will be predominantly behind the scenes."

Ironically, a great illustration of why pictures are trash for explaining concepts outside of specific scenarios. What exactly is the picture trying to convey? How much time and how many bits did the picture take compared to the text?

Thankfully, my eyesight works. But I’m sick and tired of designers pretending I’m illiterate and replacing text labels with inscruitable icons and graphics. Hey, remember when you could change your preferences by going to “File -> Preferences?” Instead of hunting around the interface looking for an unlabeled gear icon or hamburger icon or whatever some designer thinks conveys the same concept?
I bought my first smartphone about 6 months ago - a BLU R2. Really like the phone, and here's how I use it:

1. I use puretalkusa.com's $20/month phone plan. It comes with 20MB of data per month, then throttles.

2. Disabled Cellular Data

3. Disabled WIFI

4. Never setup or signed in to my Google account from the phone.

5. Disabled anything that gave me any pause about privacy, including Location services.

6. Covered the fingerprint reader with electrical tape.

And still, the other day my phone decided to reboot itself in the middle of the day. I only know this because it played a little jingle. After the reboot, Location services was enabled again. Hmm... I disabled it, but it made me wonder if this wasn't some kind of forced reboot so someone could ping my location. This has happened once before, in the middle of the night - a good time to find out where someone lives.
Why are all these drought archeologial reports coming from England? I would guess the site density to be simillar in France, Netherlands, Germany etc. Is it a difference in awareness? a difference in funding / drone rules? a difference in reporting policy (i.e. are they making a many finds, but not communicating to prevent artefact hunters from raiding the sites?

I remember a long time ago (maybe close to a decade?) I was looking into this a bit because I was interested in iPhone dev, and the requirement that that toolchain use Mac hardware was hard for me to swallow. It still seemed fairly hacky at that point, and ultimately I wasn't willing to shell out hundreds of dollars for a dev license and hardware just to see if it was worth it and I wasn't willing to go that far into the weeds on a commercial closed source platform where any problem I might have would likely be ignored with prejudice.

It's good to know they support some form of virtualization now. Do you know it they support any of the consumer grade virtualization systems? Even if I had to pay for a full macOS license (I think it wasn't nearly as cheap then either) and a developer license, that would have probably been much easier to swallow, and could have led to more hardware investment from me later if things worked out.
I use keybase.io for file storage, as well as chatting other people on the service, but it can't chat out so isn't all that useful for communication.

As far as android is concerned the only real alternative is apple. They have their own privacy concerns but at least its possible to create a relatively secure device. Android has a few projects being worked on to fix this, but nothing solid yet (eelo is a good example).

Maps is the hard one for me. I haven't been able to find a privacy respecting alternative. By the nature of the application you have to provide some kind of location data. If you're really trying to cut it out you can just get a list of directions from a start to end point and follow that, but i don't recommend this because it encourages more distracted driving.

DuckDuckGo.com for search, at a g! to any query to have it redirect to google if you can't get the results you need, but most things DDG will find just fine.

For documents I use an skinned emacs called Spacemacs, but that isn't something i'd recommend to everyone and doesn't address problems like live document editing with others.

tl;dr its just really, really hard and inconvenient to keep your data under your control and requires constant vigilance

>There are plenty of big German car companies.

These have poor reputations and are only getting worse.

The quality of Audi/VW and BMW are no longer the cutting edge. Their mechanical components are known to fail often and their beauty(the biggest feature) is on par with GM and Ford.

Every 15-20 years it seems like car companies get complacent and need to be affected by the market to 'wake up'.
What does that scenario look like if Germany no longer gets to free ride on the Euro at the expense of Spain, Portugal, Greece, Italy?

They get to use an artificially cheap currency (cheap for them) to drive the largest trade imbalances on earth. They're plundering the Eurozone and EU, just look at the trade surplus they have in their own economic region ($180b trade surplus just with the EU alone). Were they using their own currency, their exports would suffer immensely. How long can that destabilizing arrangement continue? Not much longer, judging by several of their fellow Eurozone nations.

Even with all of that, their median household net worth is still lower than the US.

If the past election cycle has taught us anything, it’s that experience and job qualifications have little correlation with popularity. Basically Warren is advocating for director appointment via popularity contest. Can you really argue that the average Walmart employee, for example, has the necessary information to make the right decision on who should be COO of Walmart?

It reduces the process of choosing directors to a contest of who can make the most empty promises to employees.
Companies are an organization of human beings.

So if companies are not accountable to shareholders, employees, suppliers and customers only.

Then who are they accountable to?

Say I own a small store selling fruit.

I'm accountable already to:

- those buying my food

- my suppliers whom I get it grown from

- to the licensing area

- to the land owner

- to myself

- to my employees

- to anyone who risked their money and sweat equity (owners)

This article set up a strawman since companies are never Just accountable to shareholders as you can see.
This is such an emotional response.

It's not about who does the work. It never has been about who does the work. It's about who takes on the initial burden of risk and what kind of compensation that risk demands. A worker takes on little to no risk when offering his/her labour in return for a steady salary. An entrepreneur taking on massive amounts of leverage can be completely ruined when that venture fails.

There is nothing to stop a worker from quitting their job and taking on the risk of starting their own business. It happens all the time and if they succeed, they deserve to reap the rewards. If a worker chooses the safe path, they cannot then in good faith argue that they now deserve a bigger piece of the pie just because the enterprise has succeeded. Life does not work that way.
