Putting aside the fact that companies can definitely challenge these requests... What tech stack is ICE storing and managing all of this data with that companies keep handing over to them?
the failure of the company may have been largely unrelated to the performance and capability of the executives, and the value they may provide to an acquirer in the future (individually or part of the system of the company). e.g. the outcome is influenced by a variety of factors, the outcome can still be terrible due to factors outside of control even if the decisions and execution by the people involved were flawless.

on the other hand, you can say a similar thing about non-executive employees. it is perhaps just a question of how essential or replaceable they are perceived as being.

also, the executives will likely have a lot more power than employees when negotiating a deal with a possible acquirer and major investors, so it isn't terribly surprising that they cut a deal that favours the powerful parties involved in the negotiation, at the cost of less powerful parties such as employees. this isn't to argue it is the right thing to do, it is to argue that it isn't surprising when it happens.
The interface is slow (though I think the actual design is decently usable but nothing great).

Which categories you get are random, yes you can search for specific tags but that's a bit of a hassle and involves typing on a remote. What I'd really like would be both custom and sticky categories. Categories that will always be shown to me (simply by liking a category), and sticky custom categories by combining tags (like creating a action comedy category by combining the action and comedy tags and having that category always show up on my feed).

Netflix lacks personalization IMHO, because algorithms will never replace my actual taste. Let me tell you what I want you to show me.

Also, they should make a drill down search (minimize typing, please!). What I mean is a simply search menu with 5-10 major category types (genre, actor, director, tags) then being able to continue filtering by different categories on the fly.

Also, add a completely optional where I can see what my friends liked (with their permission ofc). That way I can, hassle free, get recommendations from people I trust.

You can even make public feeds! Famous movie critic public feed, etc.

So many possibilities to improve Netflix, I wouldn't even know where to start.

I don't necessarily agree with your (b) but I'll concede it if you agree to a (c) the worst charter schools can fall far short of public schools on quality ... in agreement with your point (a).

Not that I can share, just have had this conversation with product and run experiments at a couple places. And the conversation was me saying won’t increasing the top of the funnel increase the bottom since that seems most logical, and being wrong. The ymmv at the end was a weak way of saying this is anecdata so you’re right to question it.

I don’t think not wanting to receive spam is the right comparison. It’s more didn’t see value in the program by the website, therefore won’t see the value running it. They’ll try it for five minutes then forget about it. Assuming the emails are causing more engagement, whatever is getting them to use the program from emails should be in the website. To me this is the problem that is worth solving.
I agree there.
What requirements are “absurd?”
True, but what are we using technology right now, in the moment, to do? Communicate.

Rather than technology driving us away from being social, I think being social is driving us to technology.

There are many extremely niche communities that I'd be unable to be a part of if the Internet did not exist.

I'm doing exactly that though. To compile for iOS for example, create a separate output directory with `target_os="ios" target_cpu="arm64"`. You can see a few more examples here https://skia.org/user/build

Unfortunately, C++ libraries are a bit harder to use than other languages, hopefully the modules proposal will make this a lot easier.

It’s still funded by Big Gov and doesn’t have oversight.

And whatever is necessary to be implemented isn’t and hence it’s an effort gone bad. The article is pretty extensive about the issues of CA charter schools.
What makes TPM's security theater?

Also where does it say TPM? The paper references Intel SGX and ARM TrustZone, which to my knowledge are both on-CPU, whereas TPM's generally sit separately on the motherboard.
University setting.

Many universities in major urban areas have a school of housing and community development. They study planning, policy, design, economics, and other related disciplines.

Once trained with how to create new models in your system, academics could simulate the impact of ideas they are developing in research.

State handling in FP is a long solved problem. Actually, state handling in pure functional languages is often better and more easily understood than the wild wild west of imperative languages. I would probably try to understand the field more before offering criticism
Yes, if you have a good reason to reject a loan forgiveness application, you should reject it.

I don't even agree with the concept of outright forgiveness of a loan without collateral without some genuine settlement; but surely a program like this needs some standards even if you don't disagree with the basic concept.

It comes down to what the goal was of the program. Was it to issue $700MM and incentivize people to go into public service? If so then it really did fail if they only managed to dole out $10MM or so.

I would think the end goal would be that the program could say "Hey you gave us $700 MM and we managed to get all these public servants in it and on track".
> I wouldn't take issue with "Modern Anglo Studies" or even the gendered "Experience and Perspective of the Modern American Male."

Those clearly don’t have the same connotation. Male studies is a real thing, and this may be a component of it, but I think there is a real, particular phenomenon here that is distinct, and probably has a variety of causes and concerns which the course covers. We’re talking along the intersection of tiki carrying white nationalists, school shooters, abusive power holders of many sorts, etc.
For now, not Republicans. Republicans (the politicians) don't care about individuals, despite what they claim, and they downright disagree with the rest of your position behind closed doors.

If we can change our voting system, then maybe I can give you better advice. Until then, game theory suggests voting Democrat.

> proud white Americans

Better be careful here. Proud to be an American is okay. Proud to be white... why should anyone be proud of the color of their skin? Even if it should be okay (but honestly white people have an awful history, as do most skin colors if you look back far enough), it's so arbitrary. There's nothing to be proud of, you just have specific pigmentation.

LIFO is designed to prevent Ponzification (for lack of a better term). Imagine if earlier investors could just vote to issue dividends after a later round, effectively taking money from later investors that was supposed to fund company operations and putting in their own pockets.
Yep, I have the same setup. Rip and play through Plex. Not sure what OP is getting at, even 4K UHDs only rarely hit 100Mbps.
>> there is more evidence pointing that FP leads to correctness than otherwise

> There isn't.

But there is. Take this paper for example, http://web.cs.ucdavis.edu/~filkov/papers/lang_github.pdf "A Large Scale Study of Programming Languages and Code Quality in Github".

"The data indicates functional languages are better than procedural languages; it suggests that strong typing is better than weak typing; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that managed memory usage is better than un- managed. Further, that the defect proneness of languages in general is not associated with software domains. Also, languages are more related to individual bug categories than bugs overall."
Investors lost money on the deal overall, right? While employees got paid a salary for however many years they were there? By your framing, employees get "preferential treatment" with respect to salary.

This isn't just theoretical: my current job is at a place who's known to be cash-heavy (ie equity-light) with their offers, relative to competitors. This suits me just fine, since I'm not sure enough about the company's ultimate success, or rather, not willing to deal with the risk and illiquidity to a much higher degree than I already do. As you can imagine, for a given level of compensation, equity and cash play against each other, and I'm getting much more in cash than my friend with equity-heavy comp packages do.

Equity and salary as forms of compensation each have advantages and disadvantages, and it really doesn't make any more sense to look only at the advantages of equity-heavy packages (priority during liquidation) than it would to complain that employees getting a salary was unfair to investors.

No, it couldn't affect ICE since the federal government has sovereign immunity and all federal officials enjoy qualified immunity in the course of conducting federal business.
I'm at capacity with content platforms... I've dropped CBS, and once DC Universe expires, I'm out there too. It's worse that they're both the same damned company. Hulu and Amazon are all I'm keeping for now. May return to Netflix if anything really interesting to me hits. Or have it a couple months, binge watch and cancel again.
This paper doesn't mention anything about TPM. It mentions TEE (TrustZone, really) and SGX.

TPM is effectively a smart card hanging off a system bus, usually on a separate package.

SGX and TrustZone are CPU features enabling a "secure" run time environment separate from the main run time env.
The IVT is controlled by the OS, so a malicious kernel can force whatever IVT content it wants.

But it's still not relevant, as the kernel can arbitrarily halt execution of any process at any point, and therefore can read the content of all registers whenever it wants them.

Again, if your attack model is a malicious kernel nothing you're doing in user mode is going to protect you. If you're using kernel APIs to install protections against that, you're still dealing with a malicious kernel that can ignore or wrap whatever you do.

If you're trying to mitigate/protect against kernel bugs that's a different threat model, but the same general problems exist only by accident so are less likely to leak useful information.

Another way is to sell the stocks, in my opinion. That is the tool by which the invested public can express, that they no longer trust in the future of a private company.

Another tool is to go into politics and change the law, that forbids surveillance technology to be sold to governments. Which then influences the future of Amazon.

And a third way, do not work for companies, that you do not see a future in. Either by your own moral standards or ideas or simply because of long term outcome.

But maybe that is old fashioned, non collective me. :-)

OK so let's back up and look at this from a higher level.

A program that is supposed to help 10s of thousands of students ends up helping very few. Does this mean that all the rejected people are lazy, stupid, or grifters? Or is the program implemented poorly?
Postman defines societies as having three distinct stages:

1) Tool-using: where tools are just something humans use to further their basic needs.

2) Technocracy: Where inventing for the sake of inventing starts to happen for the sake of "progress" and the tools start to attack the culture.

3) Technopoly: culture becomes subservient to technology. At this point the reason for technology is to serve technology and not people or culture anymore.
Just ran it using X remotely, so that's an option too.
They are marginal, but the margins depend on your entire income, not just capital gains income. So people with small amounts of capital gains income will tend to just fall into one bracket, and it will not necessarily be the 0% bracket. Here's the worksheet:

https://taxmap.irs.gov/taxmap/instr/i1040gi-015.htm#w24811v1...

You'll see that there are breaks at 0% (Line 8/11), 15% (Line 15/20), and 20% (Line 23). Looking at the lead-up to line 23 is the clearest part.

Line 21 adds the part taxed at 0% (Line 11) and 15% (Line 19). Line 22 then subtracts that from the total gains (Line 12). That final amount is then taxed at 20%.
This assumes we can even agree on the precise meaning of “mesh” given it isn’t a widespread technical standard. I typically can’t “mesh” Wifi products from different manufacturers that supposedly support “mesh”, for example.

There are several wireless networking products that offered “mesh-like” features before Eero, often under names other than “mesh”, and many of them failed to package and market the benefit of the feature as well as Eero did. Eero deserve credit for popularising the concept with ordinary consumers, and now “mesh” is a marketing buzzword as well as a feature everyone wants in on.

I’d argue mesh is still today really a “markitecture” concept more than anything else, with massive differences in implementation.

Also, I’m happy to give the author the benefit of the doubt, given the context of the article is clearly consumer level networking gear.
As usual publishers make everything they can to make experience shitty.

Before streaming became a thing, you could download movies and music through P2P networks. Streaming became a huge success, piracy became less of an issue, because many people didn't have problem with throwing $7 a month to use Netflix.

Now once again you get much better experience if you pirate. That's the only real competitor, can you imagine how bad it would be if there was no piracy?

I prefer $0.50 lattes that I make at home with my Rancilio Silvia that I bought nearly 5 years ago. At 4 double shot lattes/americanos between myself and my wife, the machine has paid for itself many, many times over. We use $4.99 medium roast beans from Trader Joe's and regular non-organic milk or half&half. Best of all, over the first month or so I dialed in my grind and brewing technique so well, that it's better than what you'd get at a normal coffee shop. I pity the fool who pays $5 for essentially a glass of hot water.
File streaming with lazy IO is widely considered an anti pattern though. So while your criticism was true in the past, we have very good and performant alternatives today
There is one important material constraint before expanding solar PV technology to the multi-terawatt scale: silver. Right now silver-containing conductive pastes are the overwhelmingly popular choice for forming cell contacts. I expect copper contacts to replace silver pastes at some point. Plated copper has higher conductivity than printed silver paste and of course the raw metal is much cheaper, but it takes more effort to integrate plating into manufacturing flows. SunPower already uses copper metallization at gigawatt scale cell production levels, so I'm pretty confident that other manufacturers can follow when silver costs go up.

The one important possibly-constrained battery material is cobalt as a component of lithium-ion battery cathodes. But stationary storage batteries don't need to maximize energy density and therefore don't need to use the same cobalt-bearing cathodes as those in mobile electronics and electric vehicles. The key attribute of a stationary grid-storage battery is lifetime -- encompassing both calendar life and cycle life. Long-life batteries don't need cobalt if the energy density is negotiable.

FWIW you can see from my comment history that I have no qualms about the scalability or safety of nuclear power either. I think that deep decarbonization may require additional nuclear power. The cost trajectory for storage-backed renewables just looks more promising than the cost trajectory of new nuclear power right now. It appears that the least-cost decarbonization path will emphasize renewable/storage buildout until the marginal decarbonization cost rises high enough to justify more high-cost (but rock-steady) nuclear reactors.
One example is that They told people 10 years ago that the job they were working qualified and they got letters each year saying all good and then changed their mind about the job qualifying. So now these people are screwed.
Article is clear.

$700 million funding for this secondary phase program.

Only 262 applicants had success; 38,198 no success.

So program costs 2.67 million per successful applicant. With loans between a few thousand and a quarter million dollars. Let's say $40,000 on average, which is 10.5 million for all of them spent, and the remaining $690 million is thus the administrative overhead.

People OK with this seem to believe the $690 million in administrative overhead is money well spent and the $10.5 million spent on actual loan payouts is nearly an extravagance.

Interesting.
> However, large-scale systems almost always have state

Managing state is a central part of what FP systems do; a normal Haskell program is, in a sense, a function that returns an imperative program for handling stateful interaction. The stateful and stateless parts are clearly distinguished so that the problems associated with state can be managed more effectively and don't make it hard to reason about parts of the program that have no reason to be state-sensitive.

While the mechanisms are different, that separation seems broadly the point of most pure FP systems and many impure ones.

Yeah... I did that too when I was homeless. More with Tim's though instead of Starbucks when I got my PNA; now BNA.

Although, when I look back, it would have been smarter not to have done that. I did manage to save $600 when receiving $30 a week though.
It's amazing the mental acrobatics that people go through to try to find an after-the-fact justification for targeted racist policy.

The administration is run by white supremacists. They overtly and covertly signal their support for neo-nazis, and have campaigned on their overt bias against hispanic immigrants.

Where is Occam's Razor in this case? Why is this simple explanation invalidated by a more complex one?
The salary is often in leiu of equity which is effectively worthless, while those responsible for that failure (management) make out like bandits.

Frankly, I will never take a position at a startup with a base pay lower than market. It doesn't make any sense IMHO.
