I know what you mean, and that can be frustrating in some situations. However, it is possible to hold your evidence over a person's feelings unnecessarily. People can be irrational at times, and knowingly so, but still want to be understood, and perhaps more so, valued enough that their irrationality is trumped by being important enough to another person.

I think NVC is a useful tool but you need to be able to go outside the bounds of the framework it provides at times.

If someone is screaming and wailing because their mother died, you would never tell them their reaction is unwarranted because all humans die eventually and 91.3% of humans have a less exaggerated response to this news. Oh, and you and your mother didn't get along very well.

There are so many variations of this example, some less exaggerated, but there needs to be wiggle room for emotional expression and responses to events and experiences in life.

I'm awful at it, warranted, but most people I've known really need this at times - if not at most times.

Net-Ease isn't Blizzard China, they are a partner, not a subsidiary. Net-Ease is not owned by Blizzard.
Highly debatable. It's by no means clear the rules should have been applied to this case; they were very vague "we can ban anyone for anything that makes us look bad", but what has made Blizzard look bad here has primarily been the enforcement of the rules.

If they had just played it off as the players speech, and nothing to do with them at all, it is by no means clear any significant blowback would have stuck to Blizzard.

The NBA issue is very different because the original tweet was from the general manager of a team with close Chinese ties. It's like if a Blizzard exec had expressed pro-human rights sentiments in an interview.

Obviously we'll never know now, but Blizzard did so much to increase the perceived importance of the event beyond where it would naturally have been (eg, their statement on an official account saying they would always "resolutely safeguard [China's] national dignity"). Once you've framed it in those terns, it's hard to back down. Were there really no alternatives though?
Steps 2 and 3 are about observing your own emotions and thought-space. This is very reminiscent of "mindfulness" in

It's more complex than that, though. There's a whole constellation of things that come when a parent chooses a school for their kid, including the kid themselves. Parents are still paying taxes for public schools, but they aren't joining the PTA, donating at the jog-a-thon, sponsoring the sports team, chaperoning band field trips, networking with other parents, etc.. Wealthy parents have a lot of resources they bring to bear and when their kid doesn't go to a public school, the only resource they leave behind is their taxes.

What's your work like? Or perhaps I should say, what kind of company do you work at to use it?
So if the washer/dryer is on (which is in the kitchen) and one of us is in the kitchen and the other is not, and someone starts talking, nobody can hear so its a reflexive “applesauce factory”, which means at least one person has to move closer to the other so they can hear clearly.

Soufflé is typically said like “I’ve had a rough day and I’m peopled-out. I need to soufflé”.

“Sure! I’ll let our friends know that it’s just me coming to hang out tonight. Let me know if you want me to pick up something for you on the way back.”

Sometimes they’re more immediate. “Oatmeal” means “stop biting your nails, the sound really bothers me.” I’ll just say that when she is doing that and she stops. Sometimes it’s actually quite funny because it starts involuntarily and as soon as I say it she realizes what she’s doing and slams her hand back down to the steering wheel (it seems to happen a lot when driving, although not as often anymore in general).

Another, like oatmeal, that was so useful it was effectively discontinued, is “salsa.” For whatever reason, there was a period of time that I interspaced the word “like” a lot as I spoke, so she would say “salsa” when I did it and I became conscious of it and stopped. Eventually I stopped saying it altogether.

It's probably too late to help Hong Kong, but it's become abundantly clear that actively collaborating with a totalitarian regime the way Blizzard (amongst many, many others) is not viable.
How do you respond? A bit too late for that. Traditionally, reasonable companies preempted this kind of stuff by creating a clear separation between professional and personal matters, and not mixing the two.

But hey, these days many people want companies to stick their nose into everyone's business, police "bad speech", create comfortable "spaces", enforce conduct and so on. Well, you reap what you sow. Any mechanism that is created to do all this "activism" will inevitably be subverted by something like CPC to enforce their interests upon everyone else.

I actually see it the other way around. This action to appease China is extremely cynical and they only reason they are emboldened to take it is because Blizzard have immense financial security.

Most normal corporations would be way too scared of exactly this kind of backlash to so brazenly crack down on behalf of a totalitarian state.

I happen to agree with you:

There is literally no space on the internet that is public. There are only private spaces on the internet. And the internet is pivotal to modern communication.

It's very, very hard to craft a statement that has any meaning that offends nobody.

I believe that the ability to have free speech is important to the US; important enough to be codified into law.

As such I believe that companies who provide communication platforms, that are based on the morals of the US (or more practically who use US resources while conducting their business), should honor free speech.

If they don't - if they only honor convenient speech - genuine and open public discourse will disappear.

I should clarify. A new, no-name car company must be better than Tesla.

I agree completely that established car companies like Ford need to only be as-good-as (or even slightly worse) in order to really take a bite out of their market share.

Dyson, however, needs to make a car that is better than a Tesla in order to compete. That is, it has to have the same range or more, a nice interior, and a price point at or lower than what Tesla currently offers.

Established companies can get by with just one or 2 of the above (probably at least 2 to be honest as most have at least one of those).

The big thing holding back established companies, IMO, is that they really just aren't taking electric cars seriously. It feels like they are making them more to appease federal regulation and less because they care about a good product.

I don’t know what to say; except, yes, and the experience on atom, sublime and the other tools that use omnisharp is terrible.

It’s not unusable, but for example, I can’t refactor my code base without it crashing, and forget any advanced features like jump to symbol or extract class. The only feature that works reliably for me is autocomplete.

I can only speak for personal experience; omnisharp on Windows and Mac, on .net core (or heaven forbid you use something non standard like unity3d) ...

It’s just terrible.

Perhaps your combination of platform / project is a different story, but I try it again every few months, and bluntly, rider is just better at everything.

Visual studio on windows is also excellent, and the tooling is usually tighter (rider usually lags when new stuff like .net core 3 comes out, and the azure function integration is a bit spotty because it uses the core tools).

/shrug

Tldr; my experience, on multiple platforms on multiple projects has been simply negative every time I’ve used it.

Ymmv.
All these companies should refuse to self-censor for China. China does want western media and products. The fact that companies capitulate makes that the standard practice, and means China feels safe demanding it (or doesn't even need to because of the chilling effect). They can make a spectacle of any one company that refuses. I'm not saying that China wouldn't just ban them all, but it would at least mean there is a cost to China in doing it.

Yeah, that's putting profit at risk, 100%. That's precisely why it's so important that western audiences tell these companies that they'll loose western business if they capitulate—it has to be made the economic least-bad option to stand up to China for it to be common.

They created the situation by capitulating. Yeah, it turns out morals are at odds with profits. Who'd have guessed.

FWIW my 5-year-old started kindergarten this year, and not only is he given about two hours of homework a week (expected to be spread out over a few days), but he is expected to do it without parental help/supervision, beyond getting him started/explaining the assignment (because he can't read).

If you've ever been around a 5-year-old boy, you know how ridiculous this is.
I don't care about the debate of sugar vs. artificial sweeteners - my personal hobbyhorse/trigger is the way artificial sweeteners are added to products these days that are not marketed as "diet" or sugar free, apparently because someone figured out it would save money. I don't know if it's legal to completely fail to disclose, but I've noticed it's often quite obscured or they use tricky language. For instance I saw something that said "no artificial flavoring" but had sucralose. Yeah, people will smugly say "read the ingredients", but you used to be able to rely on the rest of the writing on the package not being actively deceptive.

If there's a market for drinks with less sugar, why not just do that?

A few decades ago I was pretty much on board with the smug disdain some people had for the unscientific tendencies of the organic/natural foods movement, but now I have to admit it seems like companies have decided that anyone who isn't buying organic has absolutely no standards and they are going to exploit it to the hilt. Even if organic standards are mostly BS, at least they aren't regarding their customers as asking to be abused.

Your statement contains the idea that LSD is the pure, platonic psychedelic. In fact, LSD is just as synthetic as the other chemicals you are discounting. It is actually named LSD-25, as Hoffmann took the base molecule from the ergot fungus and methodically tweaked bonding cites around the rings, and LSD-25 just happened to the 25th variant he made. Another one he synthesized is commonly known as ALD-52; it too is available in online markets.

For sure there are dangerous chemicals that are available too, but there are cheap testing kits to let you know if you are dealing with a true lysergamide or one of these more dangerous RCs. If I was to buy LSD, I'd feel far more confident buying it from a reputable online vendor than some dude in the parking lot of a Phish concert.

This is dependent upon the school system. My school board has parent-teacher interviews during the daytime and evening as well as school tours for parents of students entering kindergarten in the evening. If only one parent is available in the evenings, the school I work at is typically prepared to put the students to work as helpers so that adults can do their stuff. The only thing that is scheduled during the daytime is a school day in June for incoming kindergarten students, which is supposed to make school less traumatic when they start the following September. This was the norm in my school day, in a distant time and a distant land ...

Probably the fact that S3 is eventually consistent and IO is not immediately visible to other clients?

I'd suggest that OP use something like https://aws.amazon.com/fsx/lustre/ if they really need to mount S3 as a filesystem (do read the documentation regarding distributed consistency though), but other than that using AWS solutions in general (Athena, Presto on EMR, Spark on EMR) will tend to use specialized S3 committers such as https://docs.aws.amazon.com/emr/latest/ReleaseGuide/emr-spar... and are quite good at minimizing this problem.

Other than that, read the S3 docs for this behavior.

Vathys (YC W18) Is Hiring a Packaging Engineer/Nanofabrication Engineer
Vathys is hiring a packaging engineer to develop our 3D integration flow for a novel processor that co-designs architecture and 3D integration to deliver unprecedented performance for machine learning workloads. You will be in charge of developing the 3D packaging flow which will involve die placement and alignment as well as the fabrication of various connections, such as those used for power and I/O.
In addition, you will interface with the architects and design team in order to ensure that the chip works around the limitations of the process flow.

Location is ideally in the Bay Area, but remote is also possible if there is a nanofabrication facility (e.g. an university lab) nearby.

Generous compensation will be provided to the right talent.

Please contact tapabrata_ghosh[at]vathys[dot]ai if you're interested.
This is a pretty good example of why I don't like Haskell:

* The claim is Haskell is better because it's simpler: the final code is decidedly not simple

* You don't need to know about machine behavior: the example required numerous manual additions, e.g. explicit inlining, explicit strictness, and not using the "obvious" data structures

After all that contortion the only reason it was able to beat the C version was by using multiple cores, specifically on a 4 core machine it was only ~60% faster, and around 80% faster when parsing utf8. Better yet the C implementation actually does true utf8 parsing, via libc, so it's not inlined, whereas the "faster" Haskell code only counts the beginning of multibyte sequences.

I would argue that sans the special cases (which the example doesn't trigger), the C version is the obvious first pass implementation.

> Thanks, didn't know that, I'd thought it was Blizzard China

There aren't really western companies in China. They may retain the use of the name, but they have to use existing "partners". It's not like you can just rent an office and staff it, unlike almost everywhere else – heck, you can't even have a website there if you don't have boots on the ground.

In this case, they are as close to being 'Blizzard China' as they can possibly be.
Indeed, the name was immediately off-putting to me.
The removal of RSS is just an example of poor management and decision making by Mozilla.

I think that even if telemetry had had different results, they would have then just ignored it for making that decision. Or they would have changed the interface to hide a feature, and then when users used it less, they would use that as justification to remove something.

There was really no good reason to remove it. They quantified the costs of keeping it at something like $5000. How much do they spend translating Firefox into obscure languages that nobody downloads? Or on catering for their galas and fundraisers? Or any other stuff not related to writing software?

There is much more robust discussion on this already.

Free speech isn´t really free speech unless it is granted to dissenting voices. The majority (or acceptable range of discourse) does not need protection by definition. That´s why free speech exists to begin with.

Interesting side effect:

> We haven’t used this notice yet, but when we do, you will not be able to like, reply, share, or Retweet the Tweet in question. You will still be able to express your opinion with Retweet with Comment.

I think, not able to like/retweet is less of a big deal than unable to reply - not the only way to comment on the tweet is using a quote-tweet, which can only be seen by your own followers. This seems to make it impossible to get a full overviews about the replies to a tweet unless you already know the people that you expect to reply.

I may be wrong, but this seems like a step to increase the filter-bubble effect and potentially strengthen the effect of such tweets instead of restricting them.
