You have no concrete points. Read my thread again and come back with a solid reply. China is losing the trust battle and it doesn't matter whether they are actually doing anything wrong or not. There is no point getting angry.

BTW while you are at it on Chinese access to IP. It is extremely clear that they are doing everything in their power to get access to it. Whether that is through illegal means such as the recent arrest of Chinese citizen in Belgium, or detention of another Chinese national working for Apple's self driving cars or even DuPont formally launching a complaint to US administration regarding it. Wake up and smell the coffee.
..most likely Huawei was also very active in network and mobile infrastructure and they may be more prone to state sponsored hackery. I also forgot ZTE..
What I've found interesting in all this, and I don't really intend it as pessimism, is that people think 'innocent until proven guilty' is a common thing, when the scope seems quite limited. It mostly only applies in criminal court, it doesn't really exist in that form in civil court, it certainly doesn't exist in peoples' minds watching the news.

I'm not discounting the correctness of the idea, but in a legal realism sense, is presumption of innocence a natural idea? What is the expectation it'll happen in an informal environment?

It's similar free speech when people figure out it doesn't protect your job. Free speech protecting you in a public sphere seems to only be effective if your life is mostly defined in the public sphere. The more your life is defined in a private sphere, I'd argue the less those rights really exist in a practical sense.
> The marginal cost of serving another page view to a Pakistani reader is zero

Considering how much bloat news websites currently serve, I'm not sure it would even load properly.
> don't widely distribute content that's actionable

This is a strange argument to apply to the first few users, sharing a document with one or two friends.

I should have been more clear: Legally private as opposed to publicly published, not as in private from the law.
> As a consequence, the ad-driven web is much more open and inclusive.

It's also much more addictive, manipulative, and creepy. Is it desirable for Facebook to be accessible to everyone if the net effect of them accessing it is depression, anxiety, and pervasive behavioural tracking?

The specific example of Pakistan is also illustrative[1] because the ad-driven web acts as an arm of the government surveillance apparatus in states without robust privacy rights. Is "free" worth it in these cases? Maybe in the short-term, but I think the long-term outlook is much more grim.

The lens of your eye is what filters out UV light. When the lens is removed because of the cataract, there is nothing to block the UV light, so you can see it.
> If anything, I'm seeing the opposite: non-"elite" tech pay is increasing to rival "elite" tech pay (since that's the only way you can hire a decent engineer in any of the major tech hubs in the US).

I'm seeing the same in the Central Florida area. Postings open for months, the pay scale slowly increasing at the same time. I've even worked with recruiters to help drag those salaries up, explaining how to go back to their clients and explain their expectations are unrealistic. A rising tide lifts all boats.
Latency numbers will differ (a lot) because the definitions of latency these sites use differs. Agner uses the delay that the instruction generates in a dependency chain. uops.info uses number of clock cycles that are required for the execution core to complete the execution of all of the μops that form an instruction. instalatx64 uses latency means the time that it takes for the next dependent same-type instruction to start. These are very different definitions.

For example, Agner gives a latency of 2 for pop r while uops.info gives 6.
I mean we just heard about the HEAD of Interpol, who is a Chinese citizen, visit China, disappear for a week with no communication, and suddenly turn in his resignation. And there are other Chinese billionaires who disappeared. And that poor actress.

Does Chinese government need any formal documented ownership of a company to influence its so called owners? I think not.
As someone from the Netherlands, I find it surprising these plastic rings still exist. We don't have it for many years and use well-recycable cardboard.
So many people sequenced their DNA, they've put other's privacy in jeopardy
There are ads in the paper newspaper I subscribe to as well. Real reporting and quality writing don't come cheaply, and that hasn't changed just because the delivery method did. Probably neither the author nor I would be willing to pay for a subscription without ad subsidies.
I don’t think tech workers in SV are the ones hoarding their cash.
Hmm... I don't see any antisemitism in there?

In any case, you should contact the admins of your instance, but most probably they have blocked that instance, as it appears on blocklists for being a free speech zone.
Be careful of your use of the term “which hunt.” It explicitly refers to ”made-up allegations.” If it happened, it’s not a witch hunt.
I think your recourse should be in a real world solution and not a soft-lawyery-fake-solution. I.e. with the board-flipping-case, glue your board to the table. Pretending copyright is a thing you can use to prevent people from flipping your boards is just stupid and ruins the copyright system even further, beyond the broken mess it is now.

In real life games, say, a tennis match, you have someone sitting outside the playing field checking if you are playing by the rules, and stopping the game if you don't. That is the correct way to to things. You're not going to sue all the players that don't follow the rules, you just kick them from the playing field.
You are in the DSA, I understand?
The primary benefit I see with cash is that it's simply trivial to accept.

A store owner, market stall holder, hawker, beggar - anyone can accept cash, trivially. You hold out your hand, someone gives you some coins, done.

None of the other payment mechanisms are that simple. Generally at a minimum a lengthy sign up procedure would be required involving identification; accepting credit card payments is going to further require purchasing or owning physical hardware.

Cryptocurrencies come close (no registration, authentication, etc and so on required), but they don't (yet?) have the market penetration required to function as cash does.

I'd say this is reflected in the cost of cash-only establishments vs. non-cash-only. All of the cheap takeaway-style establishments are cash only for good reason - it's the only way to just transfer funds without associated baggage.
You can _disable_ it though. It can't be completely removed because it's part of the somewhat-immutable firmware image. Annoying, but not nearly as bad as force-enabled.
Audible has only two of his works: "Lenin's Kisses", and "The Four Books". Does anyone have recommendations on other audiobook sources for his works?
Comments like this are really unhelpful if you can't even provide a link. There's probably thousands of arguments on Google for how "income disparity hurts", and most can likely be successfully argued against rather simply.

If you've found a sound argument, please at least provide a link to it.
It has to be done from outside the cockpit, but is not unusual as a prerequisite step for a variety of avionics systems tests and repairs (source: I'm an ex-USAF F-16C/D avionics maintainer). They may have had it overridden for a check, or if deliberate, done so prior to entering the cockpit.
Why do you still pay for that stupidity?
> The reality in every people structure one will every work at, politics is how the world works.

> In short once you have more than 2 layers of management at your company, politics is how thing will work. And its perfectly, OK. Because that's how world is.

The problem is people see "the political system" and "politicians" and think wouldn't it be great if we could do away with that, never understanding these are just examples of normal human behavior taken to extreme levels because of the competition, scale and stakes.

Politics is always present, because it's just a word to describe human power dynamics.

Company politics becomes obvious when different people want different things, and some people exert power and influence to affect outcomes, in subtle or not so subtle ways. It's as inevitable at a small company as a big company, the only difference is that it may not be as extreme and it may take a while longer to show up.

The mistake is people considering working at a company of tens of thousands of people and thinking that somehow normal human behavior doesn't apply here.
The answer may not be pleasing, but it's true: because "paid subscribers" represent a valuable advertising demographic/segment. They are nearly certain you are human traffic, and you have enough disposable income that you pay for news.
Spotify still has a limit of 10.000 saved items. An album with 10 songs counts for 11 (10 song entries and 1 album entry). Meanwhile you can create 10.000 playlists with 10.000 songs no problem. So the saved items is obviously a very crappy (database?) design and they still refuse to fix it.

Very glad I have Apple Music now...
As said: "The fact that you pay for subscription, doesn't mean you aren't the product for publishers to advertisers"
This seems to be a red herring because, while not a worthless statement in and of itself, it is largely irrelevant to the parent's comment
I'd much rather see engineers trained in law - it's considerably more practical and I'd wager will lead to far more positive outcomes than general humanities

Most modern legal frameworks already incorporate the better structured part of the humanities (philosophy & ethics).

However, none of this matters when we live in a hierarchical society where most people just do not exist in a bubble where they can dissent on any and all things they're working on without fear of reprisal. The fact that Google employees were able to speak-up about bidding on government contracts is huge, but that's a luxury most workers don't have.
If it interacts only gravitationally, the answer is that probably we will never detect a dark matter particle.

However, good news: several possible dark matter particles have been proposed, all of which interact very very slightly non-gravitationally as well. Practically all such proposals start with a particle physicist trying to repair some problems in the standard model of particle physics. When such proposed particles are decent candidates for cold dark matter, astrophysicists and physical cosmologists take note.

One family of candidates are the WIMPs, which feel the weak force, and so can produce a recoil reaction in atomic nuclei, and we can spot such recoils produced by neutrinos sourced by the sun or nuclear reactors. Galactic dark matter doesn't have a "bright spot" like the sun or the Super Kamiokande reactor, so distinguishing recoils from Brownian motion is tricky, since a WIMP may enter a recoil-detector from any direction. The density of WIMPs (if they exist) is much lower than the neutrinos streaming out of SK reactor or the sun, so there will be fewer recoils in the first place. WIMPs are generally found in various attempts to explain chirality in the standard model.

Another family of particle-physics-problem-solving dark matter candidates are the axions which feel both the strong and weak forces, and axions can be smashed up into photons (or formed from photons) in a very strong magnetic field.

There are several much less popular hypothesized particles that can be detected in principle because they feel one of the non-gravitational fundamental forces. This does not mean it is easy to detect them, though: whatever the microscopic makeup of dark matter, it is very sparse inside the solar system, and galactic dark matter reaches Earth with relatively low momentum, so even when it does interact with ordinary matter on Earth, it won't produce a large reaction.

> orbiting with crazy speeds around our planet

Galactic dark matter particles must move with the rotation of the galaxy, and for the most part so does our whole solar system, so the speeds will be slow, and in particular not at all relativistic. Also, because dark matter forms a dust where the individual bits of dust have extremely low mass, they will not be drawn into orbit around the Earth. The dark matter particles' orbits around the centre of the galaxy will be very slightly perturbed by the Earth, though.
Sorry to hear about today. Hang in there, you got this!
But aren't business losses tax deductible?
Ads on paper are not nearly as intrusive.

It is also quite disrespectful considering the tracking etc. that comes with it. How many more subscribers would they get if they didn't treat them as garbage?
It's a name which is associated with a certain level of contempt when applied by a man to a woman.

It really depends on the jurisdiction's employment rights and very much on the context as to whether it could be grounds for dismissal, but I can certainly see situations where you could be summarily dismissed even in a jurisdiction with relatively strong employment protections, such as the UK.

It's also worth noting that in some cases the employer is placed in a difficult position where they face a difficult choice: do nothing and they run the risk of an employee leaving citing constructive dismissal as management did nothing to handle the bullying; do something and risk retribution from the alleged. In some jurisdictions, sex discrimination in the workplace can lead to a substantial claim, so if you use aggressive language towards a female colleague in a 90% male workplace, HR is going to get twitchy.

Allegations in the form of statements are substantive evidence when it comes to employment disputes and if gross misconduct is defined by your workplace as bullying or harassing co-workers, you can expect to be summarily dismissed.

Also, employers can and frequently are wrong in their interpretation of what they can and cannot lawfully do. Again, this depends on jurisdiction but some jurisdictions have tribunals where you can take your case without the risk of costs being awarded against you.
Support emails sent to Zendesk/etc allow a user to see the originating support email as well as the company's response to that email via their online support interface.
“Non-technical cofounder in early 20s” sounds like a massive red flag to me. Ideas are cheap, execution is what matters
Oh my god please leave those small businesses alone. That webshop is probably just a handful of people and they have no clue what their legal obligations concerning GDPR are. They would probably need to hire an expensive lawyer just to find out what information they can and should share with you if you start making trouble. At the same time you expect all this information for free.

If you want answers to your questions, my recommendation is to ask more specific questions. For example, you might ask them if they share your data with a credit reporting agency, or if they send email newsletters, etc. That way it'll be much easier for them to answer, and it's more likely you'll get useful results.
So many nationalities served in so many armies with officers that didn't speak their own language (think of the USSR, the Italian colonies, the French colonies, the British colonies, the French enlisted in the RAF in WW2...). It isn't so hard to understand military orders when you're doing it on a daily basis.
So this is the looking glass thing.

You could see the existence of the extension because of poor decisions.

But it didn't turn on unless you went into about:config and manually flipped "extensions.pug.lookingglass" to true.

Definitely intended as an easter egg. Even of the people getting upset about the visible extension, 99+% of them never saw the enabled effect.
If you're a subscriber, you're the most valuable advertising target. You've shown a willingness to pay for stuff on the internet. Furthermore, advertisers are targeting people who read those publications regularly. Subscribers are those people.

If you wanted an ad-free subscription, it would cost substantially more than you currently pay to made up for the lost advertising revenue.
Out of curiosity, does anyone have a ballpark estimate for what a no-ad online subscription would cost if we assume the parent is true?
what is the range of vision without the lens? Is it expanded just on the blue side or do we also start seeing infrared?
I've tried a few of these and they don't do kebabs. I think the word designates different foods to different people.
That may be true, but it doesn't answer the question since there are many other similar examples without advertising.
Debian no longer supports Debian 8, although the commercially funded Debian LTS project run by the consultancy Freexian provides a lower level of best-effort support into 2020.

And Ubuntu 14.04 won't be supported past next April, which while more than double the 10 weeks discussed in this article isn't all that far into the future.

Beyond those two details, you're right.

The broader point remains that support for older PHP will degrade rapidly from this point forward, even if a bit of it lingers on for a handful of years.
You're just looking at the end result. The kavanaugh situation ended up passing much more narrowly than it would have if the accusers had not come forward. And keep in mind that there was absolutely zero evidence for any of the accusations, even to the point where the people the accusers named as being present all denied knowing what they were talking about.
Never could get it to work on Samsung, Apple 7, or Pixel.
... the more will cancel their subscriptions and leave. The less the ads will work.
I just tell the next company that I will join on date X. I don't care about their ASAPs.
Think about a torus-chess-board [0]. While it is locally flat, it is finite, unbounded and you would travel back where you started. Curvature cannot give a sound argument as to whether the universe is finite or infinite.

Does the same apply if I call a female coworker a name that signifies contempt without being so inflammatory? More to the point: what is wrong with me expressing my contempt for a coworker that should deserve termination, regardless of gender? Or am I expected to be a robot that exudes nothing but faux kindness? If so, save the cult for those with more tolerance for that sort of corporate nonsense.
You know the old saw about "if you don't pay for the product, you are the product"? It's not "if and only if".
Not at all. It's my personal blog, has very low traffic, it's only a basic HTML+CSS page, probably hits a few spam rules here and there.
They mention in the "Limitations" section that "Except for the division instructions, we do not consider performance differences that might be due to different values in registers, or different immediate values."

Besides division, are there other instructions that are known/expected/suspected to have different execution times based on the values in the input registers?
That’s unlikely to be true, some publications such as Ars Technica let you pay for an ad free tier.

What’s more likely is that the subscription price does in fact cover costs and that advertising revenue is seen as a nice benefit on top that can be grown creatively without any accountability or backlash.
No offense but if your life is destoryed by losing one job I'm going to guess you had other problems in your life?

Indeed, and things like micro controllers and materials have come a long way since the 60ties..

It's by no means cheap or trivial, but a lot of technology have been democratized since the 60ties..

The testing code is not open source yet, but we plan to make it available in the near future. We are also working on a code analysis tool, similar to Intel's IACA, that uses the instruction data from http://www.uops.info/. Finally, we also plan to add data for AMD processors.
Social Media, largely - but this isn't new - look at the case of Fatty Arbuckle.

People now get tried in the court of public opinion as a function of virtue signaling - "Person X did currently unpopular thing Y, I must show that I do not support the activity of Y, by expressing my displeasure of person X" and on, and on, and on, also people are not willing to admit that in some of these cases, the people are mistaken, confused about what happened or intentions, or about the identity of people involved. It's not to say that nothing happened, but it may not line up with the reality of the situation claimed.

Generally, I use the following rule:

1 accusation without corresponding other evidence? I'm willing to discount, depending on the situation.

2-3 accusations without corresponding other evidence? Something may have happened here, and a deeper investigation should happen.

4+ accusations without corresponding other evidence? Person might be guilty of what they are accused of, we should really investigate this so the justice system can do its thing.
What rights does paying for something ever give you?
You can pretty much make this argument for everything - Ferraris should be plastered by LCDs with ads then. Business class airplanes filled with blinking video ads. Entrances to highend butiques crowded with people pushing ad leaflets into rich peoples hands....

Not just a nit, profits aren’t paid as salaries. The high profitability of the big tech cos is /despite/ the high salaries they pay.

They've got their statistics confused.

Lifetime odds (in US) of death due to vehicle accident is 1/102. (https://www.iii.org/fact-statistic/facts-statistics-mortalit...)

But that's average lifetime odds, not mortality rate per journey. It's a statistic with a very different meaning. But I see how people get confused by all the different ways risk can be expressed.
Kavanaugh was prepared to do damage control from the get-go[1]. Christine Ford presented her allegation while he was on the short-list[2], in hopes that it would be quietly handled and another candidate could have been chosen.

The timing wasn't the issue.

It's not just the metaphorical "tech" that suffers, it's also the candidates themselves.
When you have empathy and you prefer thinking about your impact (on customers, on the environment, on current culture, etc), what is open to you is a long and arduous road. Applying to companies, the choice is limited. Creating products, there's extra inertia. Acquiring experience with these constraints is also mentally draining at times. Self-image can also take a hit, when your beliefs have you refuse easy ways towards prestige or money. You might walk with your head held high, but not necessarily have the savings or the opportunities that your friends have. There's a social cost to "doing the right thing" that not everyone is willing or able to pay.

It takes a bit of luck to find the right places and projects, but to anyone out there facing similar struggles: continue believing in yourself. The system will come around eventually..
