Poor people's clothes are synthetics. Natural fibers cost. People have become used to buy-and-trash one season clothes. This is a problem.
Did no one watch Jurassic Park? You can't put genetic alterations in the environment and expect them not to propagate. The idea that this is possible has been proven multiple times to be utterly and completely false. No matter what the level of care or control. You put it out there, and there is any possibility for it to proliferate... it will proliferate. Period. People don't learn they still think they are in control, you know that they are crazy. Just like you think anyone saying something like this is.
>Software upgrade on trains removed ability for drivers to reboot them (& they intend to keep it that way?!)

From section 5.2.1:
"The train manufacturer, Siemens, are developing a patch which will allow the drivers to recover the trains themselves without the need for a reboot or technician to attend site."
Aka plata o plomo. Not that the company would literally have anybody murdered but the prospect of 'promotion or termination' has much the same effect. It splits the camp.
That's completely false. Today, you don't need to interact with the NYSE to buy stock listed in the NYSE. There is plenty on intermediaries providing the service for a fee.
It would concern us all, if Stallman were to fall and the ranting author got away with it.

I'd argue there is a higher number of people who'd go "Well, technically" in tech than anywhere else. We're (mostly) not evil, but it may often seem that we're defending those that are, when technically, we're just pointing out factual truths.

I'm not sure that it is possible to be tricked into raping someone. Rape has a mens rea requirement that the defendant intended for the sex to be non-consensual. Some jurisdictions do subject that to a requirement that the defendant honestly and in good faith believed it was consensual, and that being mistaken about that was a mistake that a reasonable person would have made. If you are tricked into it, you probably won't have the necessary mens rea.

For example, consider this hypothetical.

Bob meets Alice at a bar, asks her to have sex with him, she says yes, and they do so. Later, it is discovered that Charles forced Alice to go to the bar, meet Bob, and say yes to whatever he asked. Bob did not know about this. He thought it was just a normal, consensual hook up at a bar.

Bob would probably not be guilty of rape, because a reasonable person in that situation would believe Alice had consented.

Charles, though, would be guilty of rape. (Rape in most jurisdictions isn't just you having sex with someone against your will--it is making someone have sex against their will with you or a third party).

Stallman is not arguing that nobody raped or assaulted the girl. He's just saying that he thinks Minsky is like Bob.

Preventing people from preserving their wealth and the fruits of their labor is not liberty. It’s a restriction of liberty.

Capital controls have historically been associated with despotic governments.

Your problem was most likely using an Amex.

In LLVM, even with LLVM_ENABLE_THREADS, the compilation of a module is still sequential as far as I know.

The LLVM Context is the unit of isolation between threads. For instance the multi-threaded ThinLTO optimizer/codegen will use one LLVM Context per-thread, and so each thread is processing a single Module / TU.

The issue for concurrency is fairly deep in LLVM (use-lists, constant stored uniquely in context, etc.) that would make it really difficult to address intra-module parallelism.

MLIR for example is designed with this in mind and the pass-manager is already multi-threaded at every level of nesting (function passes would runs on two functions of the same Module in parallel). This is causing other complication/inefficiency in the infrastructure, I'm still not sure how much it is a good tradeoff, we'll see...

Possible bug: I discovered steam as a by-product of discovering something else.

As I went on to discover other combinations, I ran across other discoveries already, and the UI shook the material I dropped on a previously placed/created material when both materials would create what I already had in inventory.

When I created steam as a by-product, the steam "shake" wasn't in place when I went to create steam with the basic elements.
It's not illegal for a company operating in country X to own assert in country Y which would otherwise be illegal in company X. At worst, company X move its headquarter, delegate ownership to a subsidiary, etc.

Absolutely. A $5 billion USD hyperbole.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facebook–Cambridge_Analytica_d...

"The governments of India[30][31] and Brazil[32][33] demanded that Cambridge Analytica report how anyone used data from the breach in political campaigning, and various regional governments in the United States have lawsuits in their court systems from citizens affected by the data breach.[34]
On April 25, 2018, Facebook released their first earnings report since the scandal was reported. Revenue fell since the last quarter, but this is usual as it followed the holiday season quote. The quarter revenue was the highest for a first quarter, and the second overall.[35]
In early July 2018, the United Kingdom's Information Commissioner's Office announced it intended to fine Facebook £500,000 ($663,000) over the data scandal, this being the maximum fine allowed at the time of the breach, saying Facebook "contravened the law by failing to safeguard people's information".[36]
In March 2019, a court filing by the U.S. Attorney General for the District of Columbia alleged that Facebook knew of Cambridge Analytica's "improper data-gathering practices" months before they were first publicly reported in December 2015.[37]
In July 2019, the Federal Trade Commission voted to approve fining Facebook around $5 billion to finally settle the investigation to the scandal, with a 3-2 vote.[38]
Facebook established Social Science One as a response to the event."
That's a good point, but other companies do this without recourse. Paypal is the classic example. They will literally ban you overnight and hold your funds for months. Oh and forget knowing the reason, because revealing why you got banned would reveal too much about their filter algorithm.

The key is to diversify where you buy and how you buy it so you're not dependent on any one company.

Alex, VMWare granted you a full-time senior staff swe position back in Feb 2018 to work on OpenFaaS full time:

Sounds like a dream offer, but it seems you left VMWare in Mar 2019. Why didn't things work out?
Maybe they were trying to unionize to prevent being fired, as they already knew their performance was lacking?

Most of the "problems" with DoH tend to be implementation based (e.g. applications individually resolving DNS or corporations assuming if they intercept UDP 53 they have secured connectivity) not necessarily problems with DoH.

The main drawback of DoH itself is it moves DNS to a session based service which causes increases in workload for DNS infrastructure but to be fair the article does mention that so I'm not sure "it doesn't discuss the problems with DoH" is totally fair.
The thing from that Alumni and Vice are basically hit-pieces, designed to kill the reputation of RMS.
Yeah but there are a ton of protections for that legal situation, and there's lots of things that are legal but deeply unethical because laws are unjust. This is an primarily an ethical issue.
Any market usage would be nice. Unfortunately what typically happens is there's an article about a huge breakthrough and then we never hear about it again.
How wrong am I to draw the conclusion from this, that people claiming that GMOs are "completely safe" (i.e. cannot have unexpected side effects, such as creation of super-species that completely crowds out other, non-GMO and now inferior, species in the specific niche, or the migration/expression of toxin-producing genes in unexpected places) are full of bullshit?

That's my knee-jerk conclusion, I'd be really interested in hearing counterarguments.
This article successfully supports an intriguing assertion that hunter-gathering societies existed on a fitness plateau, and for humanity to achieve improvements upon that quality of life it was necessary to cross a deep valley. To extend this to making the claim that human beings were and are universally better off as hunter-gatherers than they are today is absurd.

Publishing this article in a magazine, with later distribution online, is a very special kind of irony given that hunter-gatherer societies rarely if ever developed writing systems.
I'm sure intermediary exchanges (either legal or illegal) will provide that service.

In order to establish a union, you may need 30%, but how much do you need to TRY to establish a union? After all, they didn't succeed? How many of their coworkers signed?

Besides, there may be many people who think having a union is always a good idea, so they would sign without thinking about it much.
High Temperature Semiconductor progress announcement – 20 Tesla magnet
After 8 years and counting for at least one of the three? If your performance is lacking you won't get around to unionizing because your co-workers will see through that ruse in a heartbeat. According to one - insider informed - commenter here about 20% of the company was in favor, not enough to put it to a vote but apparently enough of a reason to ask the company to recognize the union voluntarily. So this was not just a couple of people organizing a union to avoid their own termination.
I think German industry is a good example, it is strongly unionised and the unions have representatives in the board that supervises the running of companies. Apparently the result has been better cooperation between employers and workers: where the employers invest in and are mindful of employees and the employees in turn see the "big picture" and are committed to making sure their employer is competitive. My German colleagues are happy to point out that the more unionised Germany has retained it's manufacturing industry while the UK's has withered.

The union I'm part of in the UK regularly arranges on-site events for all employees and pushes for improvements on environmental issues as well as working conditions.

Brad Smith clearly wants to corner software engineers and leave them no choice, but to unionize. I understand that this is not Brad's idea and he just delivered the message from the MS board meeting.

However the big tech does need regulation and this regulation is called GDPR. We need laws that make it a criminal offense to use user data without an explicit written consent in a standard form set by law per each use of this data.
Nonsense. Red Hat supports containerization in more ways than I can count. Also, most businesses running RHEL in a VM environment (like ESX) are using per host licensing where you can run an unlimited number of RHEL VMs on a single physical host.
I’ve suffered people who think they’re mind readers and know what’s best for me. Whatever burden they thought I was carrying, they couldn’t have got it any more wrong. Those people stopped being a part of my life when I realised what was was going on, because what
I felt was betrayed. My own feelings didn’t matter, it was their feelings about what they assumed about me that were more important to them.

As such, I would favour open communication instead of being ‘protected’. That requires serious trust. And a lot of these games that we play depend on a lack of trust.

There’s nothing cynical about this, we’ve all done things with good intentions in mind only to get bad results. Oftentimes it’s because we’re acting in our own interest and not the person we’re putting it on.
Uber is basically a scam transferring money from investors to the company's pockets.

We've seen this scam happen before - the Dot.Com Bubble - when investors were told that "The Old Economy" fundamentals didn't matter any more and it was now "The New Economy" where 'potential' was worth more than 'profits'.

Strictly speaking, Uber is correct: drivers aren't essential to its business. The cash transfer from investors happens anyway. The drivers are merely there, along with the clients, as an excuse to drain investors.

Once the investors wise up, Uber will disappear like it's never been there at all, just like 'pets.com' and all those others.
Linux has the facilities needed for this -- they've existed in POSIX for ages. Doing a better job of it would be nice, but the suggested approach seems like a pretty big regression.

Unveil() is irrelevant to this discussion, because your program ideally has nothing in its namespace to unveil.

Pledge() is a useful additional layer of protection, dropping access to things that can't be controlled through the file system -- but Linux has seccomp-bpf that fills the same role. It's also unnecessary for privilege separation: It wasn't implemented until about 2 decades after the methods I'm talking about were in widespread use. And not just in OpenBSD -- from what I remember, Solaris had a section on it in their programming manuals.

The principle is simple: Start the program, acquire capabilities (ie, fds) needed to do the job. Then, drop the ability to request capabilities, drop root, and start processing untrusted user input.
That, my friend, is very close to a Godwin point. Let's be careful here.
It orders one on each apply. From the docs:

This has been true of most American "journalism" for at least a decade now. Activist journalism has become so common that editorialization is just taken as normal - I doubt that the average person even understands the degree to which news is editorialized. It's next to impossible to find an objective mainstream source these days - for both left and right leaning media.

Probably related to the modern polarization of the nation, though which is the chicken and which is the egg is hard to say.
In my specific industry we are replacing thousands of open positions nobody wants to do. Customers struggle to hire enough workers for us to ever be replacing humans. Walking around picking merchandise all day is a pretty inhuman career.
Since author is so preoccupied with class, sexism and progressive issues, I wonder how consent culture was in hunter gatherer communities. If a women said no to big-muscle-abe, did it mean no?

Good thing author doesn't need to worry about their next meal, and has time to write such bullshit.
> Maybe if I were seriously into literary matters.

Like the subscribers to the London Review of Books ($49 US / year), the New York Review of Books ($89 US / year), or the LA Review of Books? ($100 US / year for a quarterly, if I'm not mistaken).

There are lots of people who are serious enough about books to pay these kinds of prices, and the price they're asking is around market (though maybe a little high for digital only).

My question is this: Are they as good as these other very famous publications?
"In one study, the Bushmen's average daily food intake (during a month when food was plentiful) was 2,140 calories and 93 grams of protein, considerably greater than the recommended daily allowance for people of their size."

"during a month when food was plentiful"

Don't know if the article discusses the other 11 months, since the next page button doesn't seem to work on Firefox Android.

Oh, and what was that early childhood mortality rate?
The article doesn't seem to consider real life practicality enough. For example, what speed up do you get with this, over caching the most frequently accessed million data items using a constant time lookup?

The answer of course, is it heavily depends on your problem space and data size and characteristics.

Caching is somewhat discussed, and I get that the topic is not data structures and algorithms; However it seems impossible to say when this approach would be useful in general without more practical considerations.

How easy would it be maintain or enhance this kind of code? Would you get emails like "...we have a few bugs in the 16-way interleaved multithreaded binary search code, who wants quickly get those cleaned up...".
In the internet era, opinion "journalism" tailored to certain kool aid drinking demographics is what is profitable and expedient. It is not that much different than supporting any advocacy organization with a membership fee and weekly newsletter.

It’s as if liberal editors reined in radical writers but couldn’t do so coherently, and lost the plot at times.

This is a great way to describe it. I usually check the NYTimes front page a few times a week. It’s really gone of the rails.

Headlines have gone from slightly biased journalism, to opinion pieces in disguise and it looks like every NYT reporter is trying to outdo each other.

I’m not naive enough to believe that any news source is truly unbiased, but the NYT appears to have given up any attempt to do so now.
It’s interesting how this article is trying to convince us that the NYT’s argument that racism has “touched” every aspect of US history should actually be interpreted as the NYT is asserting that every aspect can solely be viewed through that lens. I think this type of argumentative magnification and reduction leads to a lot of overblown inter-partisinal argumentative malpractice.
Fruits are not free food in terms of dieting, as they have a lot of sugar (fructose). Bananas in particular are very rich in sugar so are best avoided when on a diet.

It's neither rare nor authentic nor is it even well reasoned. Every reddit and twitter thread is filled with the same carbon copy half-assed responses.

Agreed; fortunately, dragonflies are pretty much found all over the world, so shouldn't be a major change to introduce them in an area where they've become scarce.
On the doorhandles I can see the point: to make the vehicle more aerodynamic. Every little bit counts, four doorhandles are quite a bit of disturbance of the airflow.
As I see it, it's mainly because not that many people live in the City, and this enfranchises employees.
I have no idea how they do it, but Common Lisp compilers like SBCL and CCL compile each function incrementally, as you write them, ready to be played with in the REPL. This seems like a complex task in a language that doesn’t have the idea of an “image” that Smalltalk and Lisp do.
What "power" is gained from this? Also, that was nothing like how a witch hunt works.
Terraform is buggy. It may be powerful, but only because its easier to learn vs cloudformation.
and yet battery capacity keeps on increasing...

"We've made a breakthrough in battery tech" is a news story. "We've increased the battery life in our phone by 5 hours" is a news story. "We've increased our profit margins by 5% by eliminating nickel from the battery in this phone" is not a news story that gets reported, but that doesn't mean the advances in battery tech aren't being used.

Well, quite a bit of it, yes. It takes some phenomenal doublethink to set out 'all men are created equal' as a basic principle during a war of independence, then enshrine slavery in the rule of law when it comes time to write an actual constitution.
A lack of accidents doesn’t make a vehicle safer. It just means that there aren’t as many on the road.
