Yeah, it really depends on the circumstances. It's easy to grandstand as a keyboard warrior, but in the real world of being stuck in a room with the same people for 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year, some leeway and accommodation must be had.

It's naive and unrealistic to pretend that tempers will never flare, and that if they do, the flarers should be immediately dismissed -- in fact, I'd say depending on the employee's background and the relevant jurisdiction, it may be naive and unrealistic enough to be legally actionable.

So wait, if a man calls her an asshole or dick instead, its perfectly fine? there is conceptually no logic in that. Similarly, if a woman calls a fellow co-worker a bitch, would that also apply? also very little logic in play here.
yes, they make more work for other people to fix than they contribute, but they don't make more work to fix than the people who are making work that fixes are doing. There is no -10x engineer, hardly even any -1x engineer - probably the worst you find are -.5 engineers.

In fact I knew a guy whose effect on a project was to wipe out several years of progress but to be fair he was not a -.5 engineer, in some ways it was just the bad chance that led to him having such a detrimental effect, in another scenario he might very well have been a +2 or more engineer.
Totally agree. Been in it professionally since ‘97. I’m not a superstar or anything but people who have hired me have always done it because of this. As a self educated, i still keep myself updated as that’s always been the passion that drove me here.

And observation about flip side: When Nokia came crashing down, lot of engineers where (and still are) struggling to get a new job. They had been working on same area for decades, with tools that are limited to their old work - and no desire to take chances and trying out something different.

Yeah, age can be limiting factor, sometimes, but don’t let it be because of your own fault.
Serological response to H. pylori proteins linked to risk of colorectal cancer
Apple collects less data about you than practically any other company you interact with. They view personal data as a liability, not an asset, and only collect the data necessary to actually provide the revelant service (and they silo it internally so different services within the company don’t share data, and they anonymize it as much as possible, and they apply differential privacy, etc)
I do mind. I mean it used to be that ads paid for print costs and also that they where somewhat useful -- I would be unlikely to hear about a sale in any other way.

Now though, well I have clicked on two ads that I remember being interested in, in all the time I have been on the internet -- why? Because what we are producing is generally shit, or already known, or priced too high (not surprisingly, guess who has to pay for those ads)?

If they ever actually cure cancer, or get a weightloss pill that works, I will probably hear about it. Until then?

> How does one run a printing business without any machines?

I don't have any printing machine. I got all my customers from the internet, so basically we never met. When my customers place orders (from WhatsApp), I would print their orders from a company who actually have a printing machine, then I just sell it more expensive to make profits.

I already do this for about a year now. I went from $100 to $1,000 saving. Which is pretty good money in this country, I can live with that for 5 months.

> Seems like you could do that from anywhere.

Yes, the problem is I need to find another printing company that doesn't cost too much. I'm already thinking about this actually.
All of the memory-source instructions in Agner's guide don't really have a meaningful latency. In particular, the input and output domains are different. In the case of pop, the input is memory and the output is a register, so you can't really measure the latency of pop in isolation: you need to chain it together with at least one other instruction whose inputs and outputs are in the opposite domain (eg push, or mov [memory], reg).

Agner says himself that he "arbitrarily" divides the latency between load and store type instructions in these cases which gives the mostly meaningless value of 2 for load-type instructions.

> It's a name which is associated with a certain level of contempt when applied by a man to a woman.

I am not a native speaker, so I might be wrong on this. But I believed that "bitch" is the female version of "dick", isn't it? For example in Italian both are rendered with the same word, only flexed by gender.
Would you feel the same way if the private group was a bunch of men talking about their various sex escapades with other women in their profession?
I don’t see either the first amendment or section 230 argument here. The first amendment has been held to protect anonymous speech in the sense that the government can’t ban anonymous speech or require registration in order to speak. It has not to my knowledge ever held that the ordinary civil law discovery rules must be modified because people wished to speak anonymously but did not take sufficient measures to remain anonymous.

Section 230 meanwhile protects electronic publishers from being sued civilly for the what users of their services write. This is important because under defamation law one who repeats a libel is equally liable as the original speaker.

There’s two possibilities that I see: a) most likely the boring traditional reasons to quash a subpoena (e.g. too burdensome) or b) as a long shot one of the journalist shield laws.
I do not think a trip in a car is that dangerous, but I recently ran across an article that suggested going to the hospital has approximately a 1/140 chance of death due to medical error, for what that's worth. That's per visit, not per lifetime.

"based on a total of 35,416,020 hospitalizations, 251,454 deaths stemmed from a medical error, which the researchers say now translates to 9.5 percent of all deaths each year in the U.S"

I don't disagree with this, but it's not mutually exclusive: There are solutions that do not involve wholesale data disclosure.

There's also some added complexity given the context: As the failure of the legal system in addressing sexual assault and harassment is responsible for both the necessity of this list and the "guilty until proven innocent" atmosphere that causes it to have impact, it seems questionable to use that selfsame system to punish the workaround developed (the list).
This is just my opinion, and I don’t set employment policy anywhere. But at my place of work (a Google/Alphabet company), on my team, nobody behaves that antagonistically to anyone else as far as I know. Calling someone a bitch or a dick is pretty harsh compared to how we handle disagreements. That kind of behavior seems below our expectations in my opinion. I am, however, just an engineer and contractor, not a manager or policy maker.

Even if, let's say, you WERE to pay substantially more than what you currently pay, the vendor might see fit to extract the maximum amount of value from you, so serve you adds they will. The only way I think they would not serve you adds is if they would lose more money (customers) if they were to serve adds.

But people have proven they are mostly OK with ads, they don't mind them (since so many services online are fueled by them and people use them).
Obviously, that's why this argument is bad. Natural food happens naturally, GMO doesn't.

That sounds really cool. Do you have a link to that blog post?
I'm really confused by a lot of what you said, but I agree with some of it.

When you say that these appeals to reason and logic are generally to protect the right from our left-going politics, I agree somewhat. When the right use this as an argument within political debate, IE, if someone presents a reasonable point, and they simply reject it on the basis of their emotionality or perceived lack of reason, they're no better than those that reject others' ideas out of hand because of their emotionality. I don't think the right using 'logic and reason' as a weapon is a sufficient basis to reject said logic and reason, though.

You seem to take the view that we have no control over our ability to practice rhetoric and argue with logic and reason, instead of ad hominem or other pointless attacks. So what are we to do? Call it politics and move on? I don't think you properly argue against this article. You say that your point doesn't lead to this all out hobbesian war, because...Syria? We should count ourselves lucky that instead of violence, we get to use verbal personal attacks?

I don't think your post is really all that at odds with this article. I think it'd be totally fine if you were to reject a point on the basis of moral repugnance, as long as that is stated in a reasonable way. If you reject a person on this basis, then there's a problem, right? If you simply reject anything Haidt has to say, then we get nowhere. If you reject one of his contentions on the basis of, well, something then great. That's how discourse is supposed to work. "come on" is a good example of rejecting an idea out of hand without reasoning.

You say that "Us vs Them" doesn't matter or is invalid because...the US is more right than the rest of the world? This us vs them thing, it doesn't really matter where on this spectrum you lie. Indeed this is not relegated to politics at all. The issue crops up when "we" reject "their" idea because it's "them" -- it does not make a difference whether "us" is the American left or the rest of the world's left. Or any other group. I do agree that the US has to reject our extremely right leaning politics, but it's possible the only way that we're going to be able to do that is, well, using logic and reason. What other alternative exists?
Awesome, thanks for the confirmation! You're much braver than me :)
I had to close two pop ups to read this article. So there's that.
The restriction on the number of articles is how the news publishers incentivize subscriptions -- subscribing unlocks more articles per week/month/whatever. They are going to advertise either way.

Paper newspapers always had ads too. Subscribers didn't get a different version of the paper without the ads. Ads have been a deeply ingrained part of the news business for over 100 years and they aren't going to stop now.
We've asked you repeatedly to stop posting unsubstantive comments to Hacker News. If you can't or won't stop, we're going to have to ban your account, so please fix this.
Or, you know ... use cardboard and bottles.
This does happen in other places. Do you ever notice that your in-flight magazine has ads? You've already paid for the flight. Your in-theater movie kicks off with trailers and previews -- you have already paid for the movie ticket. And so on.
Unfortunately the CIA archives are not open to the public.

I don't even know what the big deal is. Countries don't get prosperous by singing kumbaya and group hug sessions. Mine certainly didn't. Whatever it takes as long as you get away with it.
Yeah, more or less. I'd agree.
The issue is that you’re letting your issues turn in to personal attacks instead of taking your legitimate complaints to a manager. A workplace where workers take their problems out on each other sounds toxic and unprofessional to me.
The "ad-driven web" might as well not show ads to the Pakistani reader: near zero cost and near zero revenue.
And if you subscribe to a paper newspaper or magazine, that has ads too.
This rebuttal isn't rooted in reality. China's willingness to use state resources to gain competitive advantages for its corporations is proven without a shadow of a doubt.
Ah yes, we should tell engineers they need a behavior adjustment.

It's not clear to me what you find damning about the Cosby case. Are you suggesting that he should have been acquitted or found innocent, but was not due to overwhelming public opinion? The quite general remarks by Ginsberg that you cite here don't illuminate much.
This seems to be a re-occuring pattern: have ads on a free/cheap service, introduce a paid service, place ads on the paid service, then hope if you hold out long enough people will forget there was a time when your paid service was ad free.

10+ accusations without evidence? Sounds like a witch hunt.

I mean, how likely is it that 10+ people all had no chance to collect any evidence?

Seems to me youth or age are probably less relevant questions than
whether you see an opportunity (and to what degree it's proven), what domain expertise is necessary to address it (and whether you have or can get access to that), and what resources you have available.

And as you noted, there are risks to simply settling into corporate comfort.
Testimony is evidence[1]. Leland Kaiser, named by Christine Ford as someone else at the party, submitted a statement that she did not recall the party. This is not a denial of Ford's claim. This is consistent with Christine Ford's testimony that for the other people present, it would have been a normal, unmemorable event.

The narrative that "all named people denied Ford's claim" is an intentional oversimplification spread by the GOP to discredit her evidence[2].

an important factor since PHP 5.4 is still the default install on the latest releases of both RHEL and CentOS
I have found that load instructions take one less cycle (4 vs 5) if using an index register, where the index register is zero, and the value was set to zero via zeroing idiom. More details on RWT [1].

You didn't include immediates in your question, but it was included in the quote you referred to so it's worth mentioning adc with immediate zero, which is "twice as fast" [2] from Sandy Bridge through Haswell.

Of course many FP instruction have value-dependent performance, particularly with denormals (although it is common even if denormals don't occur).

FWIW recent AMD chips seem to have fixed-latency integer dividers.

I suppose I could continue to create / delete playlists on the desktop, but it seems like I shouldn't have to.

If I like them, I'll save them to a playlist or add the album to my library. If it doesn't grab me, I won't bother. Regardless, even if I'd queued a playlist, the mobile is still going to overwrite my queue. I just want an option to disassociated the two devices.
