> You know that's not true.

The PRC and the ROC have separate economies, militaries, governments, currencies. They engage in interational trade separately, organize telecommunications separately, they issue their own passports and they are recognized separately. The land controlled by the PRC and the land controlled by the ROC have been stable for 70 years. Those two landmasses have been united under one government for about 4 years in the last 125. To say that they are not two separate countries is totally delusional.

> And what is the United States' position on the independence of Taiwan?

What does that matter? The facts on the ground are that they are separate countries. The US position that the PRC wasn't a country in the 50s and 60s didn't magically make it the case.

> Sometimes language can reflect reality, and the reality is that Taiwan is quasi-independent.

You clearly don't live in reality.
> ... may ...

If something only may be the case, then I'd say its premature effort to plan for something that may or may not happen. Better to do the simplest thing now and then refactor when the need arises.
What’s silly here is that things that are harmful only happen with hindsight and scale. I don’t think anyone at FB understood what Cambridge Analytica would turn into, because it came from a program of trying to help advance researchers. When things are new, you assume the best for them. Only once time passes do you understand all the unexpected ways people can abuse it.
The challenge here is technologists have shunned labor organization to my knowledge which is what I understand controls the cited fields. Different economic model applies to most people in technology compared to law and medicine. Smells like a buzzword article. Maybe the cloud companies could implement a code and create barriers to deploy "unethical" code... that might work.

The parent never said that there are no white people who face socioeconomic challenges. But whiteness itself does not create any socioeconomic disadvantage.
Not really: hospitals are public, and doctors are on government payroll, which keeps their prices on check. For example, a similar emergency here would cost nothing to the patient, and less than $2500 to the public health system (mostly helicopter gas): more or less $0.001/tax payer. Costa Rica has around 1000 cases like this per year, so state of the art snake poisoning treatment coverage costs less than $1/tax payer/year (most cases doesn't require air transport).

The public health coverage covers everyone depending on the worker so the system receives money (from salary taxes) proportionally to the amount of people it has to cover (think of it like a non for profit health insurance company).

A nice result is that competition from government keeps private sector prices low, and more or less still accessible to most population. That is why here private hospitals are profiting from medical tourism.

I mean, you are also seeing the extreme cases float to the top because articles like these attract anecdotes. It's hard to tell how widespread the problem is because people who pay a more reasonable amount for stitches don't comment in these kinds of threads. For all we know this only happens .1% of the time

FWIW, I've never had such extreme bills. The largest bill I've received in the last few years was $2000 for my wife's epidural, but I only paid about $400 of it (insurance paid the other $1600)
They do. And we wonder why our medical costs are completely out of control.
Ah yea, thalidomide. That drug is often used to justify poor policy decisions at the FDA. It's the reason the FDA banned women of child bearing age from clinical research.[1] In the late 80's there was even a study conducted to determine the relationship between obesity and risk for breast and uterine cancer. Guess how many women were enrolled? Zero. Thanks to the FDA's misguided knee jerk policy response to thalidomide.

It seems to me the FDA's process might "protect" a small number of people but that comes at the expense of many thousands of lives.

I had always assumed the RedHat logo had always been a trilby, and that they were somewhat "stuck" with it for tradition/legacy reasons.

I now see that only one of their three previous logos (excluding wordmark changes) has been a trilby, which would seem to make migrating away from it easier. Given the modern 4chan association, I wonder has there been anyone internally at RH voicing such a suggestion.

Also... while the new one is definitely an improvement on the last, their pre-97 logos were great!
I might have missed it when scanning the article, but nowhere did it mention how the formal ethical codes for docs and lawyers are backed up by licenses and review panels and exams. Are they proposing the same regulation before allowing someone to build an app?

Would they call for the same for journalists too? Arguably, the media has an equal need for ethical oversight, but we generally prefer the media to be free of partisan interference.

I believe journalists and technologists are better off without state or federal licensing to enforce ethical codes.

It’s even more fun when you try to block Google entirely from your network. Logins requiring recaptcha fail silently without any indication why.
Well, I think requiring published pricing in a standard format would go a long ways. Right now, people have no idea how much anything will be. If there was published pricing, there could be a shopping app or something of the sort.
Has that request been made yet?
No, that is ridiculous. Missals made in the US are used to fight illegal wars in the middle east and sold to dictators committing genocide. Stop drinking the nationalism kool-aide, we aren't the good guys.

The unfortunate part is that Facebook is designed to replicate the addictive qualities of sugar and even more heavier drugs like cocaine.

As a result, it's not that you can't make your own social platform, it's that your platform lacks critical components for instant gratification.

Maybe I am wrong though. Open to discussion for my perspective.
Tesla Discloses Record Pollution Credits for Q1
Eh, is there a point in memorizing it if you don't use it enough? The best way to learn something is repeated practice, so while I use regex enough to not need to look things up normally, I need a quick refresh anytime I need to do anything in matplotlib. There are people who are fluent with the library, but I don't have any more than basic syntax memorized since it's maybe once per year that I need it.

Although if you really do need to learn regex, I highly recommend https://regexone.com
At least for me, the way it was taught Wes super-helpful in retaining the syntax knowledge.
Interesting downvotes, considering that statement is the entire gist of the results of the study, as well as a counterpoint to the parent comment and the reasoning behind the grandparent comment.
As Nasa is a government agency, I wonder if lack of regulation and oversight played a hand in this.

This sort of scenario is exactly why I'm concerned about the recent trend towards rampant free market economics and libertarianism. Those ideas have merit in certain situations, but also increase risk to the public as witnessed here by losses that are proportionately much higher than any efficiency savings.

I'm also concerned about how many other agencies and companies might be affected by this sort of fraud that we haven't heard about yet. We saw the same thing happen with faulty (mostly imported) capacitors, insecure voting machines, increased healthcare costs, illness/financial hardship from GMOs and pesticides (again, mostly oversees), the list goes on.

It didn't used to be like this when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s. We had different fraud then (for example monopolies and duopolies that held back telecommunications, the savings and loan scandal, industrial waste superfund sites...), but also a stronger manufacturing base in our economy. I'm just going to throw the idea out there that we're seeing a link between deregulation, fraud, increased costs on the public sector, and a slowing economy.
Yesterday, I realized I'd forgotten how to count in binary or hex.

I was reminded of that by the realization that I'd forgotten how to manually convert between binary and hexadecimal strings in C.

I'm still scared.

But, above all, I want to stop doing things in C.
Then establish something comparable to the PE concept for software engineers, and require it for certain categories of software (aviation and medical software already have to get certified, have a Professional Software Engineer on the hook too, and then extend this to other types of software systems like certain financial, legal, or personal data systems).
net commands, kerberos tickets, etc. You can really only 2FA web interfaces, VPNs, RDP and interactive console logons. You can 2FA LDAP, but it's a real pain to do so (I've seen it done).

Just think of any backend protocol that the system uses. The vast majority of those can't be 2FA'ed. This is not Windows specific either. The same is true for most all protocols.

This is why most companies buy firewalls and VPNs and only 2FA the VPN. That meets most compliance requirements and is simple to do. Is it secure? Probably not, but it checks the box (makes audit happy), so buy compromise insurance and move on.
Thanks; today I learned the US President can pardon a non-US-citizen. Your post made me go look it up. I would never have thought...
It is unfortunate that we need regulation to prevent people from doing what is ethically wrong.

Ideally the internet would not need regulation, if only people cared more about doing whats right...and not what makes your shareholders rich.
Thanks for citing the statistics.

Just to be clear and provide context, the numbers the original poster linked were overbloated and inaccurate because it's a fictionalized neonazi talking point, like holocaust denial and white genocide in south africa. Some people get drawn into the, uh, wrong sources and start parroting the talking points without really knowing what they are helping to propagate, so the poster here might not be a racial supremacist or whatever, but it's something to keep an eye out for.
No. I work in medical and progress is much slower. In a lot of tech you can try something and get immediate feedback. In medical you have to wait for years and spend a ton of money.
Whatever Happened to Hardwired on/Off Switches?
I spent the first few memorable years of my life in a trailer park. I can relate. People have come and gone, I've certainly had "started from the bottom [now we here]" moments - but even at a young age - I saw honesty in ways I've never seen it since. The people were better, and I think it was because they were humble.

Fair enough, but if I simply copy and paste the above without indents it doesn't look so bad:

- Added the use of AuthEnvelopedData, including defining and
registering an smime-type value (Sections 2.4.4 and 3.4).

- Updated the content-encryption algorithms (Sections 2.7 and
2.7.1.2): added AES-256 Galois/Counter Mode (GCM), added
ChaCha20-Poly1305, removed mention of AES-192 Cipher Block
Chaining (CBC), and marked tripleDES as historic.

- Updated the set of signature algorithms (Section 2.2): added the
Edwards-curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA), added the
Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA), and marked DSA
as historic.

- Updated the set of digest algorithms (Section 2.1): added SHA-512,
and marked SHA-1 as historic.

- Updated the size of keys to be used for RSA encryption and RSA
signing (Section 4).

- Created Appendix B, which discusses considerations for dealing
with historic email messages.
Exactly this. If we create hardware and software ethically, that product will not make enough money. Capitalism is almost entirely add odds with ethical engineering practices.

Think about it. Imagine Facebook not doing anything evil. Never selling your data without your permission. Never spying on you. Putting lots of restrictions on advertisements to make sure they are all ok. Banning all the bad users. Reporting analytics accurately. Etc.

How would Facebook make any money? The only ethical sources of income would be to sell non evil ads (if you believe there even is such a thing) or to charge users money to have accounts like Netflix. Non-evil ads are not very effective, and with accurate analytics, they will not fetch a high price.

What other ethical business model is there? If operating ethically, they would be lucky to cover their operating costs. Giving any kind of ROI to investors would be impossible. The same applies to every Silicon Valley operation. Google, Twitter, etc. If they operate ethically and morally, they can't make enough money.

Of course, if the power were mine, I would force them to behave ethically anyway. I don't care if they all shut down. Gonna eat me some rich people.

Here is what the parent wrote:

My contention is that the exact same socioeconomic forces exist across racial lines. There may be historical factors that vary by racial group, or sub-groups therein, but the problems are universal.

That's the kind of crowd you end up running with if you do things like trying marijuana in college.

edit: Real question, though. I'm often called to report for jury duty but have yet to actually sit on a jury. My understanding is the jury is explicitly charged to reach a "guilty of accusation" or "not guilty" decision. And sentencing is a whole separate phase of the trial in which the jury is not involved. I'm sure this varies with types of charges and with locale, but... am I missing something about how you were asked as a juror to consider that sentence?

> The simplest and most common sense medical reform I can think of would be to make it illegal to charge a different price to two different patients, regardless of insurance carrier or self-insured, for the same medicine, procedure, or equipment at the same facility.

That would do great damage to the poor and greatly benefit the well-employed. Just like airtravel, the richer pay for the poorer. This has been so since the 50's.

> There should be the Price. The amount that insurance Covers. And the remainder is the Patient Responsibility.

Iron triangle of healthcare: Price, Access, Quality. If you control the price, you fiddle with access or quality.

> ither that, or a cash patient cannot be charged more than the Medicare allowed amount for the same procedure.

Medicare wellness exams pay 90 bucks. Insurance pays 150~200U$S (up to 300U$S). VERY different services can be provided at those levels.

Take a OneMedical office with 3 doctors, and 16 1/2 hour appointments a day. 48*300U$S = 14.400 U$S max revenue. At medicare rates, they go down to 4,300U$S. Just having the same facility, same rents etc, to get the same revenue they would need to see 160 patients. So the appointment length they can give would be 7 minutes. Or they could move the office to a much cheaper 3rd floor place many blocks down, sacrificing access, but that might save you only 10k a month.

Price, Access, Quality.
This is analogous to Google declaring one fine day that its getting out the advertising business, but adding security features to do so. MZ describes steps to improve security and retooling history features to have less immortality and permanence, but people already share facebook posts and profiles as images, not only as stateful markup. People will continue to expose each other and there's essentially no way Facebook can guarantee privacy in that regard. Limiting partner access to user data will ultimately be a trade-off of what they can afford to lose and that's not a commitment to privacy either.

His proposed strategy doesn't really makes sense and seems like misdirection and lip-service. You can't change the way people use Facebook, but you can forgo any pretense of privacy, which may be the only thing that can honestly and realistically be done.
Another simpler way (even simpler than macros) that works great for simple mass editing is visual blocks. In normal mode, press Ctrl + V and you get to select a literal block of text (not like visual mode, where the text is sequential). Then you can for example, do a "c" to change the selected text in each of the rows that your block covers. This is especially practical to remove a column. Just select the column, press d and voilà.

We do have an ethical code. "The Unwritten Laws of Engineering" book sums it up nicely. The ethical codes such as those of ACM or IEEE are good examples.
I guess we agree then. Determining what’s ethical is personal and it will be hard to crater a universal code.

If you value human time by $1 million per year then that is a waste of 700 man years or 8 people's worth. Of course they got paid and received "free" training for their job so it wasn't a complete waste but there certainly are better things to use those man years on, like a functioning satellite.
If you have an API and a SPA that's tightly coupled then, yes, same repo.

If your API is a separate product with a separate release cycle, proper testing and backwards compatibility checks, then different repo.
In my experience, the first time the team tries to separate concerns, they don't necessarily fully understand the problem, and build out the wrong separations.

Multirepo teams live with the wrong modularity boundaries longer than they should, because fixing the design ("violating the rules," when they're bad rules) causes immediate pain. In monorepo it's easier to do the refactor in an atomic commit.

It's all part of the sandboxing cycle. https://xkcd.com/2044/
The push is that some of us are led by life circumstances to do so. (For example, I am married to an academic with a tenure track position outside of a top-50 city.) My choices are to commute to another city or work remotely. (Coming home for the weekends sucks, by the way.)

That said, I find that full remote works really well. Half-remote is a lot more difficult for the reasons you say, but encouraging all employees to work remote some of the time starts to equalize those issues, because everyone has the empathy of the experience.

I've developed a set of coping strategies, but I agree that it's a tradeoff unless everyone is remote.
