It's the rate of change that's the problem. What used to take thousands of years is now taking decades. If that doesn't seem like a big deal, think of the difference between stopping a car with normal braking action vs. crashing in to a brick wall. In both cases, the car changes its velocity by the same amount. It's the rate of change that causes the difference in trauma levels.
I guess the endgame is that high-end 3d scanning functionality gets built into regular smartphones.

We will likely see 3D sensors get embedded into smartphones very soon but there are substantial trade offs in terms of size, power consumption, cost and performance. Also the consumer use-cases for 3D scanning are quite unclear. Hence what's going to be in phones will likely be used for enhancing AR applications / "Lenses" (proven use case) as opposed to capturing an accurate 3D representation of the world.
I think the ultimate source of Seattle's wishy-washy attitude toward serious crime is summed up nicely by an excerpt from something written by Ilhan Omar:

> The desire to commit violence is not inherent to people — it is the consequence of systematic alienation; people seek violent solutions when the process established for enacting change is inaccessible to them. Fueled by disaffection turned to malice, if the guilty were willing to kill and be killed fighting perceived injustice, imagine the consequence of them hearing, “I believe you can be rehabilitated. I want you to become part of my community, and together we will thrive.” We use this form of distributive justice for patients with chemical dependencies; treatment and societal reintegration. The most effective penance is making these men ambassadors of reform.

Basically, criminals are protestors against the inequity of society. This is a very old idea. Dostoevsky talks about it in Crime and Punishment.

My sense is that, no, people committing crimes are not "protestors" and treating them as such simply doesn't work. Tough love works. Punishment works.

I just hope that, when the pendulum swings back on this nonsense, it doesn't swing back too far the other way. I think it probably will, though.
+1000 it's exactly what I'm thinking!

This shows an incredible ignorance of the employment market of tool and die makers in the US and the American manufacturing enviroment in general.

Simply put, the US has nowhere close to the skilled labor force needed to 'bring it home'. In Flint, MI, as of 2017, journeyman die-makers pull about $130k. Yes, that Flint. [0,1] Yes, starting wages for a CS bachelors in SF. But for a person without a HS degree. In Flint.

Journeyman takes about 5 years of post-HS apprenticeshiping and the relevant CAD and math skills, FYI.

So, you may be thinking that in about 5 years time the US would be able to get back to where we are today.

We currently have ~70k tool and die makers in the US [2]. Though numbers are very hard to come by, as of 2006 there were about 3 million tool and die makers in China, about 1 million of which came at the expense of US jobs [3]. So, we need to grow the US tool and die makers in the US by roughly 1500%. Not 10%, not 100%, not 500%, but by ~1500%.

That, simply, is not going to happen without massive government financial input. That bill, to get all the tool and die makers that we need in the next 5 years at ~$15/hr that an apprentice makes, would cost about $145,000,000,000 in just wages. For just die-makers. Then you have assemblers, machinists, lathers, welders, etc. We're talking trillions at the low-ball numbers for the cost to re-educate the workforce. This will be a double digit percentage increase in the cost to manufacture anything that you pay for. The US consumer and the US government are simply not going to pay for that.

I don't get it? They were both examples of utter stupidity via conspicuous consumption. That's how I expected them to be seen anyway.
> What seems to be happening a lot lately is that politics are spilling over into large, global mailing lists which target a whole geographic region, so many people get involved, and when a company has 200k employees and contractors, you will find some outliers in there who will pick nasty fights.

Really good point here. One could argue the same for society as a whole - not just companies with global mailing lists.
The old practice of "my area code is where i lived 10 years ago" has an unexpected pleasant side effect.
I strongly disagree. How a computer actually operates on data is the CPU's opcodes, which: 1) have no notion of what a function is, 2) are quite happy to deal with global variables, 3) are perfectly willing to mutate data anywhere, 4) are willing to branch to arbitrary locations.

That's about as far from FP as you can get.
Interesting, thanks for the feedback!
Also, that's just plain old sedition because you don't like who won the democratic election.
Usually how it works is if you break the law (eg, steal something) and get caught, you are arrested, then you get to see a judge. At that point it is up to the judge to push rehab as a punishment or prison. This depends on the laws of the area, the offense, and if this is a repeat offense.
I did say "non-technical", which is open to interpretation, but I did not mean 'computer illiterate' (i.e. only uses apps given by OS).

The discussion here is really about average users, and the baseline assumption here is that we are talking about apps that don't come with the OS, that we'd install, since we're devs, creating new stuff.

> I don't know any who does not have VLC or LibreOffice however [...] (but that may be a french thing)

It's a French or power-user thing.
I think part of the problem is that a ton of the benefits of FP happen in the "middle" of a lot of programs. If you need to read files, parse something, process flags, or write any output... It doesn't really make a world of difference.
That is the concept of OOP - that you package together the data (state) and the functions that can operate on that data.
You have a good point. I suspect if the manifesto was private on mastodon it would be pretty similar to email, but if it was a public post, like public twitter posts, the effect would be the same.
> As for Amazon, I like them too. I know they have a lot of cheap Asian stuff. But sometimes, that is exactly what I want (cheap but good DC stick welders).

I'm of the same mind - sometimes (ok, a lot of times) I want the cheap stuff from China; in many cases, it's the only way to get it at a reasonable price.

I could buy a 40A Bosch relay from China for $1.00 (if that) - or I can go to AutoZone and buy the -exact- same relay (because guess where AutoZone sources it from?) for $15.00. Now - why should I do that?

Multiply that out to a ton of other products.

Now - some things I know I can "Buy USA" with - like DC gear motors. I can go on Amazon, and get a particular DC gear motor for say, $15.00 each. Or I can source something similar made by an American company (let's say Ametek), perhaps using DigiKey or Mouser - and for virtually the same motor, pay $100.00. Yeah - ok. I'll get right on that.

I was once trying to source new gears for a surplus Pittman gear motor I had purchased for a few dollars - the company wanted me to buy 50 pieces of the gear, at $2.50 each. I told 'em thanks but no thanks.

People wonder why parts are bought from China - well, there's your answer.

As individuals, You and I can purchase such items without running into the tariff issue - whether we go thru Amazon or AliExpress or some other direct-from-china method. Now, that doesn't work for businesses of course, so they have to use other methods.

My concern, though, is that we're going to end up in a world where if you are a consumer and not a business, you won't be allowed to purchase from overseas suppliers - due to either uproar over inferior products, or dangerous ingredients, or industry pressure. You'll only be able to shop at USA-only "consumer stores" - and forget about being able to get any of the "off-brand" or "strange" items only available in China (that aren't even carried on Amazon today - a lot of these, you have to dig thru AliExpress, or other direct-from-asia retailers - though the best way tends to be thru taobao and similar - but it's really easy to get hosed, too).

A joke not being funny for one group doesn't mean that it is political. And if people are offended over not understanding a joke they would be offended over not understanding a sentence, meaning that every utterance ever is offensive since there is always people who doesn't speak your language. You are absurd here and only strengthened my view that people who say "everything is political" are just trying to sow discord.
Nice idea but it's only possible on quite small feature work. If you touch different bits and pieces of the codebase, you won't create a failing test for each edit. Plus, some things cannot be expressed in tests (e.g. "increase code coverage here") or will need additional metadata (e.g. issue, branch etc.) that will still require comments.
I'm waiting for the hype to die down - it's been sold out whenever I stopped by.
Can you discuss with your SO why the vegetarianism without getting into political questions like:

1. What are our obligations to organisms we eat?
2. What are our obligations to each other?
3. Is vegetarianism an obligation? Why or why not?

I don't see how those are not political issues.
I think the problem with this view, especially in software development, is that it will pretty soundly continue the current status quo in diversity. We won't get more diversity without some political discussion.

What if the opposite happened, and political discussion resulted in people arguing for less diversity?

The status quo might seem pretty appealing at that point.
My mistake, I hadn't checked on the status in nearly a year. Glad to hear that progress is being made. Thanks for the update and patches!

This is a pretty important point. Everything wrong with big American cities is normalized. If you don't like it, you're told to just go to the suburb. But it's all solvable and are usually consequences of policies as well as cultural problems. Many cities in the world just don't have these problems.
In a typical consumer network every device is getting a (more/less) random ip address by dhcp. So there is no guarantee that the dns name will always point to the right ip address, therefore it is impossible to use a fixed dns name. This fact makes it impossible to get a valid certificate. Especially not from let’s encrypt.

In easy words:
You use example.com for your IoT device. Where should example.com point to? To all possible ip addresses? I don’t think so...

Besides that you need a private key on the iot device for decrypting the tls traffic, imagine somebody gets access to the device and now can basically mitm all other devices...
> What's really shocking to me here is this revelation that there's actually "global mailing lists" within the company where political talk is happening. This, I cannot imagine ever seeing at any of my prior employers, ever. I honestly can't imagine why any company would tolerate such a use of its equipment this way. It's just a recipe for trouble.

I agree. My company has a "no politics" rule spelled out in the employee handbook, and that's worked out really well. At most, some of us will have private, in-person, one-on-one conversations about politics, which is fine because it doesn't drag in anyone who doesn't want to be there.

The off-topic channels on our Slack consist of memes, jokes, and chat about movies and video games, plus the occasional bit of tech news. It's a pretty pleasant place because of the no politics rule.
> Super size' was a hoax. You got the same sandwich, larger fries and a larger cup. But with free refills, the cup size is irrelevant.

Takeout (including drive thru) is quite a bit of business, and makes cup size quite relevant.

In any case, they tell you exactly what you get for the price difference. It's not a hoax, even if you don't think the additional product is worth the additional cost.

> I think most people with a pulse would say that $1/hr is not a livable wage.

Depends on who is getting that $1 and where they are at in the world. I am certain there are places in the world where $1 an hour would be considered almost unheard of by the working class people in the country. Places where $1 a day is considered good money.
This is the norm at most companies right? Like Microsoft etc.? Whether de factor or de iuro, politics is usually left at home unless it's personal conversations among close colleagues.
This is going to push the dick-pic game to a whole new level.
> Google's original post is super gross. It dismisses the idea that there could be alternate ways to fund content (i.e. micropayments). I get why they promote "free content" but it is not free at all when you are trading your attention and privacy.

That's probably because they actually have tried it:
https://contributor.google.com/v/beta

It may seem frustrating for some of us living in nice places, having our own money and access to easily accessible electronic payment systems but for a lot of the world (geographical, age and economic status) that's not available. So while I support being able to have the option to pay to not see ads I also support being able to just see pages (with ads) without having to configure billing, etc. Otherwise a lot of the high value Internet would be only accessible to the group of people I mentioned above and that would be sad (and going against why Internet has penetrated so much of the world).

PS: If you think it's hard to stay anonymous in an Internet of ads, I cannot see how you'd be anonymous in one where you have to configure billing which is traceable (by design) to your physical person.
I can see how this could work, however do you think one would feel similarly confident in hitting quarterly goals / OKRs without such estimation/sprints?
I agree. It's a real shame people foam at the mouth for a fried corpse sandwich - doing a dis-service to themselves (their health), the environment, and animal ethics.
I'm pretty green but I love how they break things out comma-separated like "Z, Y, X from years C, B, A, respectively"

Feels slightly awkward as you have to make the associations in your head(Z to C, Y to B, etc.) but actually gives a way better sense of progress.
Don't only do they no longer do, you're considered crazy, awful or entitled for even considering it.
> Have you tried to do this? Because I've tried. It doesn't seem to work.

Yes, I have talked to many people that hold views that are labeled as "white nationalist" and engaging with them can change their views. Case in point, I managed to convince people to support immigration tied to employment. I sought to understand why this person opposed immigration, and learned that they feared that immigrants would become dependent on social services. So I made the point that immigration policy can be structure in a way to avoid state dependence.

You often won't be able to make them pull a total 180, but you can usually make them more nuanced in their opinions.

> Because I want to live here, a location I've lived my entire life, they believe that I "don't tolerate whites"? This is ridiculous on the face of it.

You're right, it is ridiculous. But that's what they believe. And if you treat them with intolerance (which is what you've been trying to justify throughout this thread) you're only reinforcing that belief.

> No, seriously. Go try arguing against a white nationalist for a while. Its utterly hopeless to get them to change their opinions.

Not with this kind of attitude, it isn't. But actually try and engage meaningfully, understand why they believe the things they do, and show them that you are willing to tolerate them even though they don't want to tolerate you and the chances of changing their minds improves considerably.

> Maybe it should be illegal before the violence breaks out. You know, to prevent violence, instead of reacting to it.

You'll have to start by repealing the first amendment. And after you do, there will be people that will seek to label your views as violent and ban them.
Because Google is not a publisher, and selectively choosing how to present information according to the predominant internal politics is unethical without a disclaimer, which currently does not exist, given Google's status as the defacto gateway to information on the internet.

Curating information in such a manner is, ironically, marginalizing the groups who's views are being suppressed. Information should flow freely for people to make their own decisions. This is a dangerous amount of power for an increasingly biased private entity, particularly given certain choice quotes in this article and others regarding googlers' views on the current presidency.

Woo there buddy, slow down there a gorsh durned second.

The nature of our republic and bicameral system is a recognition that both the elites (in the form of states, in this case) and the population have important things to contribute. If your fundamental theory of politics is that the elite don't have anything extraordinary to contribute, then how about you start by cleaning your own house and getting rid of superdelegates before you go on trying to change the entire country to match your pet political power distribution
Happy to discuss further if you care to. Helped build out cellular networks in less developed countries (LA) in my younger days and we looked at these issues. I haven't been deep into it in a while, but issues of high cost in these markets was as often as not a function of monopoly or other protectionism (i.e. there was often a government backed incumbent carrier or other government fees/tariffs/taxes that inflated end-user costs). So maximizing the content/bandwidth ratio was always a priority. The WAP protocol was one thing we thought would help, but it never really took off. Good times.

Its worth noting my colleagues and I have very different political views when we talk over lunch but I find it very insightful to see different views and we are all on good terms over it all. And I think we do think about eachother's views and we do try to build common ground, so frankly I find it healthy.
It's been my experience that they do prepare chicken ahead of time. I've always seen trays of cooked chicken sitting under heat lamps. Also, I'm not sure about your last point.

It's unlikely that anyone would try to prevent leaking something like browser window sizing, as there are so many ways to infer it. You can likely figure out window size even with static content by embedding some image pixels and examining the timing of get requests for them.
Yeah, I think the "moral" component is part of it, at least online. I'm not sure in practice how much of an impact that has had on the people showing up and waiting in line for the food.

When push comes to shove, a lot of people can be enraged online and still patron a fast food chain that offers very good food with very consistent service and quality -- even if we do it feeling guilty. And plenty more people just don't care.

This is obviously anecdotal and not based on any scientific information -- and it's also based on at least a little bit of stereotyping -- but the Popeyes I went to, which is in Renton, isn't the type of place -- nor is that location the type of location -- that attracts Twitter/extremely online people. Most of the people there looked like they were locals/lived in the area who wanted to try to latest sandwich everyone is talking about. This was suburbia.

I will say the whole "Chick-fil-A alternative" framing probably played a big role in the initial media push which has now trickled down into lots of other places, even if the political aspect is lost and it just becomes about the hype around the sandwich.
Yes, nobody says that just putting people into housing will magically fix them. That's why there's 30 other things on the list. Someone in housing is more likely to begin on their road to recovery than someone who has to live on the streets and have their stuff stolen all the time.
