The look of the text is just the tip of the iceberg. Many text editing operations are tightly integrated with the operating system and impossible to implement without an editable element.

Having put aside a pile of money they want to invest it where it will buy more.

Alternatively perhaps they disagree with some aspects of life in CA but would be happy to import other aspects.

Perhaps they intelligently believe in increased taxation because they believe what their tax money will buy is worth the sacrifice.

In flatland this is a contradiction but if Florida with x% more taxes is still substantially cheaper than the bay area now it might well not be.

A few months ago, a good engineer who had left Netflix told someone I know that the reason was the work culture: specifically, she mentioned that there were team meetings where everyone was encouraged to say what they didn't like about others, in a public setting.

More recently, this person I know brought it up when interviewing at Netflix (not wanting to work in such a culture), and was reassured by the hiring manager that no, such things do not happen, that all feedback/criticism is 1:1 and never in a public setting.

Now, the article says

> At some team dinners and lunches there are rounds of “real-time 360,” executives say, where everyone goes around and gives feedback and criticism about others at the table.

What has your experience been?

It seems likely to me this is actually true (as independently corroborated by both my friend's friend, and this article), and the manager denied it to a potential future employee, which seems not a very nice thing to do.

And surely there's a selection bias at play: anyone who has a problem with such a culture (e.g. someone who doesn't want to be criticized in public as a matter of course, or someone who doesn't want to be fired one day unexpectedly) would leave, so by definition those who remain are those who are fine with such a culture and don't see it as a problem.

I just asked my dad and he says that he doesn't have a good answer for you.

So, alas, no good answer.

I'd also love to read the thesis, especially to see how they structured the lock.

I recently wrote a readers-writers (subtree) lock for a K-ary tree and it was quite a challenge with a nontrivial implementation. It was much easier to start with a single mutex-like (subtree) lock (one reader or writer), and then extend it to the general multi-reader/writer case.

I can only imagine that a lock-free version (of even a single reader/writer) must be even more of a challenge. I hope it's not a terribly long wait, but there could be much to learn from the simpler lock-based scheme in the meantime. :)

On the topic of access to the research, I found a talk by the first author [1] a helpful companion to the paper, with slides for what appears to be the same talk elsewhere [2]. I haven't seen any implementations outside of pseudocode in the paper -- it would be nice to see if there are any tricks to generating the random ranks cheaply, or the alternative that uses a pseudo-random function of the key.

Thanks to the OP for sharing this. I'm keen to try it on another project where I was hesitant to use red-black trees due to their complexity.

I think most people will immediately get their back up if a team member was going straight to their boss anytime something the team member disagreed with was pushed to git.

Something like a style guide might help clarify points. There's also no guarantee that what OP feels about the code is correct. They might like one way but wasn't present for discussions or doesn't understand the work completely. If they're running straight to a manager every time it's only going to end poorly.
> To be clear: what happened here is that English already had a word "curry" (this is the one we get in the expression "curry favor"), and it encountered and incorporated the Tamil word which coincidentally had an identical pronunciation and a very related meaning.

> If importing Apple-labeled products that aren’t Apple‘s property nor have been sold by Apple

That's moving the goal post. The original statement said "looks like an Apple part", and now you're assuming it was never sold by Apple.

How is customs to know the difference of whether it's original unsold inventory or refurbished inventory? I have a well defined legal right to sell an iPhone I own (whether bought from Apple or some other entity, as long as it originated from an Apple sale). I'm not sure why it should matter if I ship it internationally or not (that is to say, it should not matter, as long as it's an original device and not a copy).

> Apple couldn’t outsource production, as it would be undercut by its own manufacturers.

My rights should not be curtailed because the market needs of a single company.

> So, I don’t see why, in general, you should be able to ”import a real part into the US from the very same Chinese factory that the "officially-supplied" parts would be shipped from”, if you didn’t buy it from Apple.

As a separate issue, since it's a specific sub-part of the original claims, if the parts are not patented and do not display a trademarked logo, they should not be blocked, but I don't know if the specific case you are alluding refrained from adding a logo.

That said, if the batteries were repaired at the factory, and it was refurbished equipment being shipped, there is no reason that I know of they should have been blocked, logo or not. News sources are saying they were refurbished batteries. Why should those be blocked?
Bit surprised why its specific to Italy. EU should be penalise these comapnies for such malpractices
Another theory is that it's the desirability of the location. I'm sure there are plenty of high cost of living areas in the highly desirable areas of red states and plenty of low cost of living areas in the least desirable parts of blue states.

I'd guess that local beauty, amenities, jobs and housing supply has a much greater correlation and causation with housing prices than state wide political identity.

Let's not forget that political identity has huge roots in culture not just economics.
This might be a weird criticism but... making photos taken in the dark look like they are not actually dark seems kind of like a weird thing to do? I've struggled with my micro 4/3 camera to capture accurate night photographs, but the last thing I wanted of them was to be brighter than I was perceiving them to be.

That said, the effect of some of these photographs is striking, and I'm sure the tech is interesting.

My point was that robots will improve with time, just as cars have. I still stand by that.

You took my point to mean that robots must today be immediately better than maids, just as the Model T was immediately better than horses. I think this is flawed because robots today are not at the same stage of development vs maids as the Model T was vs horses.
On a tangent - there are at least two other instances of "Kari" in Tamil (the words for Meat and Charcoal). The last two are distinct in their Tamil spellings, but it is impossible to render this distinction in Roman script :)

I can imagine that the culinary term is somehow derived from (or related to) the term for Charcoal, since the verb form implies blackening by fire.

In the case of lead poisoning, it's widely believed to have been the cause of a significant and measurable increase in homicide rates in the second half of last century. There's a lot of data supporting that hypothesis, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead%E2%80%93crime_hypothesis has:

> between 1992 and 2002 the phase-out of lead from gasoline in the U.S. "was responsible for approximately a 56% decline in violent crime".

In the case of organophosphates, I am open to the idea that that there could be a big win by changing regulations. But without knowing the magnitude of the harm and cost, we really have no basis for prioritization. For example perhaps the time and money we'd spend changing these laws in the US would be better spent on removing lead to prevent even more poisoning of children. Or perhaps we should stop what we're doing and redirect all of our resources to removing organophosphates. Depending on even the order of magnitude of the effect, I hope you'd accept that different magnitudes of responses would be warranted.

> in this case it doesn't really seem like a logical fallacy, if we are literally poisoning the children.

This is precisely the "think of the children" fallacy. The fallacy doesn't refer to claiming children will be harmed when in reality they won't; that would be a factual error, not a logical fallacy. (And to be clear, I'm not making the claim that children won't be harmed by this family of chemicals). The fallacy refers to making an emotional argument based imagery of harm to children, instead of making a logical argument.
I think human mating dynamics are far more nuanced than can be captured by simplistic rules, and that's true regardless of the ages involved.

A '55 Caddy Eldorado will get 10.5mpg highway according to these folks: http://www.automobile-catalog.com/car/1955/326075/cadillac_e...

They're cool cars but today's $70k luxury cars are faster, stronger, more reliable, and functionally better. The old Caddies do look damn good, but I'll take a DOHC versus an OHV any day.

My point is that the technology has clearly progressed. To your point, maybe not exponentially, true. But there has definitely been a whole heap of engineering work over 60+ years that has resulted in unequivocally better, more reliable, markedly different vehicles.

It was weirdly satisfying to create an emacs package (https://github.com/dp12/parrot) that shows the party parrot from Slack gyrating in the mode line.

A somewhat useless feature, but it partially redeems itself by offering a "rotate-text" function.

Now I'm anxiously waiting for vim users to port it, as vim users are wont to do. I do expect the resulting plugin will be called something like vip for "very important parrot."

So this is mostly about drone-based warfare, which is uninteresting in the limit because nanotech and "Toner". (That's a "Diamond Age" reference.)

The challenge is securely coordinating your swarm so it can be controlled by you and not suborned by your enemies. It can't really be done, basically you wind up recapitulating an immune system and that's the best you can do. I've been thinking about this for years and there's just no way truly be certain that all your hardware will actually follow your order when the shit hits the fan.

Anyway, if you have the technology to make drone war then you also have the technology to make techno-utopia. So the real issue is for us to globally chill out and be excellent to each other. Otherwise all these machines are going to be a hazard, not a benefit. (That's a Bladerunner reference. Another scary tech is realistic beyond-the-Uncanny-Valley androids.

Another problem is that discretionary spending as a percent of household expenses went down over the same period. Households are much less financially secure than they used to be as a result.

In the 1970s, a single income household could more or less make ends meet when the primary bread winner couldn't work. The other spouse would find a job, the household would consume however much less, and life continued.

Nowadays, it's not unheard of for non-discretionary spending (mortgage or rent, other loans, taxes, health insurance, etc.) to constitute over half of a household's spending. If either of the two spouses can't work, things can rapidly go to hell.

It's not about entitlement, it's about the fact it's there. It's about how it feels. It's different when someone sells you something that does 2 things, then tells you that unless you pay them more it'll only do one, forever. It's a nagging feeling. It's mine now, not theirs. Then they ask for tons of money, don't give you anything new or different, just enable the product to do what it could already do -- what I "already paid for." Cost to deliver: $0. Charge: $$$. It's not rational, but it's how people behave and think.

China is almost wholly dependent upon U.S. citizens for their economic growth and well-being, so the idea that China is itching to start a hot war with the U.S. is rather laughable, at least for the near future.

I think by far the more credible threat, of course, is from terrorists (foreign and perhaps even domestic, as horrific as that seems) and do hope that the superpowers of the world come up with some defense systems that are able to mitigate such attacks.

But to be honest...this new military-sponsored "killer robot" world we are barreling headlong into gives shudders to most sane, peace-loving citizens, no?
