Yes, that's perfectly possible, of course. Companies hate such ideas because they can have legal standing under certain circumstances and in certain legislations, or at least have a potential to create some problems.

You could also print out EULAs and ToS, modify them as you think is reasonable, and send the modified version back by snail mail as a contract suggestion with a short note stating that you find the original version unacceptable for various reasons and have made these suggestions for alterations. If enough people would do that - a few thousand might suffice - many currently ridiculous and frivolous EULAs would probably be changed very soon.

It depends on domain. I hate working with MacOS APIs far more than either Windows or Linux. They don't give a damn about backwards compatibility, force you to use programming languages nobody uses on any other platform (no, I don't care how "nice" it is), and change without a moment's notice. They actively shun and deprecate open source solutions, and seem to go out of their way to be that special snowflake. You could say certain things perform better on Mac, but other things (like graphics) are utter garbage due to the lack of first party driver support. You can install bootcamp on a Mac and get better games and graphics editing performance immediately for example. That plus the overexpensive hardware and lack of a real keyboard and I'm just done.

I think you underestimate the various causes for willful ignorance.

It is very easy for a tiny human to assume the planet is huge and little the human can do will be significant. Ask a human to imagine 100,000 people and they are already outside our capacity. To ask them to realistically imagine millions or billions over decades and, well, the behavior is undefined.

I certainly think there are a LOT of people choosing to take the easiest (short-term) belief, but I also think there are plenty of people who just can't imagine people-scale impacting world-scale.

I had a friend who made the argument that he thinks it is arrogance to assume humans can harm the global environment on the scale of climate change. I see it as arrogance to assume we CAN'T. But I don't think he's being disingenuous - he just handles the overflow error differently.
Assuming DNS resolution still happens in the OS, this is actually a somewhat sensible suggestion! Use DoH on public WiFi (although basic network hygiene suggests you should really use a VPN there), and use the DHCP-provided DNS server on home and work networks.
I think that in the case of software, a necessary requirement would be to have some work experience and to have someone who is also accredited to sign off on that experience BEFORE you get to take the test.

I'm in the U.S. on a EB-1 green card. I spend a lot of time abroad. I don't have much of a desire to get U.S. citizenship, but I do want to preserve my ability to live and work in the U.S. any time in the future without having to go through the pain of applying from scratch.

Few questions:

1. What are the risks in terms of losing the green card — should I be careful about counting the days abroad to ensure I stay under 6 months cumulative? What are my options for living abroad for a while with frequent trips to the U.S.?

2. What are the downsides of getting citizenship if I choose to apply for it? In particular, how does my tax situation get affected when I work abroad as a citizen vs. resident.

3. If I'm abroad and have a reentry permit, for quick trips to the U.S. (not moving back), can I come back as a resident or would I enter as a "visa-waiver" tourist? Does Global Entry still work?
What surprised me most is the elegance of C++ API. Compared to its equivalence in Python, the C++ version is almost the same if we discard the "auto" keyword [0]. As mentioned in the doc, they put user-friendliness over micro-optimizations, which also proves the expressiveness of modern C++ (at least when they want to prioritize user-friendliness!)

HepA is more accurately transmitted via what's called the "oral-fecal route". If you eat food prepared by other people, people who may not be completely diligent in washing their hands, it's worth getting vaccinated. There's a large outbreak in Los Angeles currently.
https://www.cdc.gov/hepatitis/hav/afaq.htm#statistics

I agree that it's a low risk disease but disagree that funds would be better spent elsewhere as it is a cheap vaccine. Most people here probably were already vaccinated as a baby or had it as a child without obvious symptoms. If you get it as an adult it can make you quite sick and put you out of commission for a few days but rarely kills people, unless you have chronic liver disease already for another reason. It's the cirrhotics who suddenly get exposed for the first time as an adult who wind up with fulminant liver failure and die.
I think the negative reaction to my comment is out of parental guilt.
OP asked what it would take to convince all vegetarians that a meat based diet is healthiest, and that animals can be raised humanely with low environmental impact. Just because you can't digest the straw man you threw together, doesn't make a "meat based" diet a thing these people are going to be convinced to move to.

Let's ignore the health. That's a minefield of BS pseudo-science and people claiming their "body hack" would work for the world at large, and I'm not even going to get there. (personally- meat is fine, plants are great, most people probably eat too many carbs and fats and don't exercise enough. Organic is because all food is organic material and the name is just a marketing for a style of farming).

How would you convince a vegan that meat is the best choice? Answer: prove that animals can't think or feel. Otherwise, someone will say that there's a moral wrong being committed. It doesn't matter if you agree with that or not (FWIW: I have a butcher's chart of a pig tattoo'd on my arm, so my stance is literally worn on my sleeve here), we're talking about convincing someone else.

You might be able to convince 80% with "but evolution!!1!" type arguments, but when you get to a moral vegetarian, they don't think killing animals is morally correct, and that's the 20% you're never convincing. OP put up a dumb hypothetical "how do you", my answer is "you can't because reasons".
>> This is a laudable first step in advocacy for real regulation of a technology...

Perhaps I'm jaded, but I don't agree at all. They're trying to get it regulated so they can be creepy without fear. One of the first "good" uses listed was finding 3000 children. "Think of the children" is a common rallying cry for evil. Nothing else mentioned was really relevant.

The line IMHO needs to be drawn at anything that you'd call stalking if it were done by a human. If a store wants to recognize me as a prior visitor, that's fine because an actual employee might do the same. But when my presence (just my presence, not even my purchase history) is shared among more than one location, that's like someone following me around. Stalking. This tracking of people and creating databases about them is at its essence a form of automated cyber stalking and should be illegal. The "societal benefits" of this are nothing more than claiming what's good for corporations is good for society. It is not. Please stop pretending this shit is OK.

Spain. I've owned a government issued ID with my fingerprints for forty years. That's no tragedy, believe me. I don't want government to have certain data and I don't want private companies to have other data. If you think about identity as a right, you might start to see things under a different light.

For many private actions companies demand ID number. That reduces identity theft to a bad movie plot.

Also reminds me of the widely-circulated photo from the recent G-20 summit, depicting a forlorn Donald Trump watching Putin and bin Salman from the background as they fist-bump each other enthusiastically like old pals.

It was actually an excerpt from a video of Trump bumbling randomly around in the back of the room, sporting his increasingly-common thousand yard stare. There's no indication that he even recognized Putin and MbS, but since digital video is now good enough to supply publication-quality still frames, it was possible to extract a single frame that supported the desired narrative perfectly. Interesting example of a phenomenon we'll definitely be seeing more of.
Let's take BCPL —

'The major difference between BCPL and ALGOL is that all ALGOL variables are declared with data-types (integer, real, boolean, string, array, procedure, label, pointer, etc.), whereas all BCPL variables have the same data-type: a 16-bit number.

In ALGOL, the meaning of an expression is dependent both on its context and on the data-types of the entities involved, and only expressions with certain data-types may appear in a given context.

In BCPL, any expression may be used in any context; the context alone determines how the 16-bit value of the expression is interpreted. BCPL never checks that a value is "appropriate" for use in a given way.'

I think it's erroneous to assume that being a "screen zombie" is inherently non-productive. I played a shitload of games in K-12. Probably several hours per day. But my parents didn't care as long as I kept taking the hardest honors and AP classes and getting a 4.0. My "screen zombie" time got me interested in modding games and evetually making games. This, in turn, helped me discover a passion for software development which had brought me the immense benefit of being employed in a field that is both lucrative and enjoyable for me. If I wasn't a "screen zombie" I may well have ended up worse off as a result, and I can see why people may come off as defensive when parents judge children that use technology heavily because it's also juding the childhood that a lot of said parents grew up in.

Ultimately I reserve judgement of parents as long as their kids are maturing reasonably. A variety of parenting choices means a variety of perspectives and experiences in adulthood.

Not hardly enough women in that list. Do they just not get rejected enough? Or are they not willing to speak up about being rejected? Were they not reached out to? Or is this a representative number of "women in tech", including rejections.

Possibly... it's all of the above.
I generally liked my waterbed while growing up. There was one significant downside though:

If the heater broke, you were in for miserable nights until it was fixed. Sleeping on top of multiple layers of blankets, if you even have that many (try fitting them in a small apt) only partially mitigates it - your bed will suck the heat right out of you.
Make it more expensive than other protein sources. That's it.
What's your experience with your kid's friends? If they hang out or sleep over at their house, they will play video games.

I also question the need to always be productive. Do your kids ever get downtime? Some of my favorite childhood memories are watching movies with my family or playing games with my friends or brother.

There's an actual cost the company is trying to avoid though, and that actual cost will have to go somewhere eventually. Either it will actually result in companies having higher overhead to maintain their business, or the employees who used to have non-competes having to pay for some of the firm's business generation one way or another.

Reminder that the question was "what are good reasons...", which suggests that not everyone knows why the company wants them, unless you assume all companies are inherently evil which is not reasonable. They invest in their brand. Employees get the benefit of that to help establish their own brand. And then they can take that brand elsewhere to the detriment of the original investor.
> AMD implements some important scalar instruction set extensions as microcode, not in silicon

Do you have any examples other than pdep and pext? Although these happen to be my two favorite scalar instructions, I would hesitate to call them important. Compilers won't just generate these from normal source [1], and I would call their use extremely niche at the moment (things like chess engines, I'm looking at you). They aren't even available on Intel Ivy Bridge and Sandy Bridge machines, which still make up a big enough fraction of data center machines.

So I'm pretty sure the number of entities avoiding switching to AMD because of heavy pdep and pext use is pretty close to zero.

Maybe you have some other instructions in mind though?

> Highly optimized/efficient code for Intel microarchitectures become a lot less so on the significantly different AMD microarchitecture.

This was somewhat true in the past, and probably hit its peak in the P4 vs Athlon/Opteron era. However, it is pretty much incorrect for Zen. Although the details of the hardware implementation might differ (and unless you are an insider you can mostly only guess at this), as an optimization target for software, Zen is very similar. It has a similar width, similar cache design both for data and instructions, similar instruction latencies and throughput, and so on. In fact something like Zen is as similar to Haswell as Haswell is to say Ivy Bridge.

The primary exception is AVX/AVX2 code, where Zen implements everything internally as 128-bit operations. In this area you might make some different decisions if targeting Zen - but the gap is not huge.

There's no question that you can create an entity in India and my view is that as long as the work you do nights for the company in India is only for and on behalf of that company and is less than the amount of time that you are working pursuant to your H-1B visa, then it's fine. More complicated and I would argue not appropriate is the creation of a company here and the hiring of developers here to work for your company in India.
yeah, its not exactly the same, and you have to live with more people than I'd be comfortable with.
