The problem is when it becomes absurd.

A few years ago one of the big dryer sheet brands sold an adhesive bar that you stuck to the inside of your dryer. So instead of throwing a dryer sheet in with each load you just changed this bar every six months.

It sold for about $7 in the supermarket, until it was discontinued. Then the only place to get it was Amazon, where thanks to crazy algorithmic pricing it ended up being over $1,400 the last time I checked.
Open protests at Blizzcon will do an immense amount of financial damage to Blizzard-Activision. At an absolute minimum, they will reduce the return from a massive publicity exercise.

Likely outcomes include damaging future sales of anything that gets revealed/promoted at Blizzcon, increasing awareness of the boycott and the reasons for it, and forcing Blizzard to anger both Blizzard fans (from Blizzard's own probably over-reaction to protesters) and the Chinese government (who are going to be unhappy about any level of protest).
> But it is a snowballing history of unpleasant life experiences, which all compounds and steadily amplifies one's underlying sense of anxiety, fear and distrust of themselves and the world

This fits in so much better with my understanding of how humans learn other things as well: through many tiny increments, not in one sudden dramatic event.

Some still do. I suspect you only know a very small percentage of the total number of employees.
Legally they aren't.

I understand that they take that position. What I'm asking is whether it stands up to a substantial legal challenge. Both Parliament and the courts in England (and the EU, for that matter) have historically taken a fairly dim view of attempts by merchants to exclude liability, which is why various statutory rights can't be contracted away by consumers for example.
I can conjure 4 when I want (and I do when I cannot fall asleep); I would say that is because I did try psychedelics a few times decades ago and the trick to ‘see things’ still works like that.

Now you are famous to me for finding absent racism in Baye McNeil. Congrats!
Hm, I’m doing a gut check on that by swapping in another western country which is more racially homogeneous than the US to see how I feel about it:

> “[Because he’s not white] he’s never going to be Norwegian. If that bugs him, why not go home? Nobody is making him stay in Norway.”

My ears still flag that as racist.
Yes, it is one less failure point to worry about, but in my experience using the respective task libraries in distributed applications, most of the multithreaded access bugs lie on external resource usage, and those Rust does not prevent.

Not saying that it isn't important though.
Neither of these two quotes in the article provide a compelling counterpoint to the outsized impact that Prop C would have had on Stripe's business.

Anyone who is scientifically minded enough to have spent some time learning biology and human anatomy has probably heard of hormones such as adrenaline and have felt their effects on the body. Under stress we sweat, feel jittery or flighty, get dry mouth, have trouble speaking clearly, and more.

Casually speaking, it might seem easy to wave off such body changes in response to emotion as a temporary thing. That would be premature. Cortisol is another hormone associated with stress and people with stressful lives show elevated cortisol levels which may be related to weight gain and obesity [1].

Creator here. I'm always running queries in Sequel Pro and pasting screenshots, or pasting the data into an excel spreadsheet and uploading that to slack for co-workers, because Slack doesn't have the ability to render tables.

Yesterday, my screenshots weren't working at all when sharing them in slack, and I couldn't find a tool out there that could take tabular data and convert it to an easy to navigate table w/ an option to download as a CSV file, so I made my own.

Let me know if you have any questions or comments!

Sure, Japan is a ~monoracial country and there isn't the level of racial awareness there that you have in the US. I feel like you have to accept some of this if you choose to live in Japan as a person of color.

I experienced this myself when I wanted to do the "teach English abroad for a year" thing in Japan after college. I have Top 1% English skills and have won literary prizes for my writing in college, and speak in a normal American accent that you might find in a news anchor. But everyone wanted a white person.
We made this blog post before implementing the changes so we could gather feedback. The feedback is very negative. And some of the things we thought would help (respecting DNT) don't seems to matter much. We'll have a look at all the feedback and see what we can learn and adjust.
I'm starting to notice more results from ddg. Google doesn't seem to be indexing most sites anymore. Not sure I understand why.
As a visible minority in Japan, experiences like this are extremely commonplace. In fact, I think the frequency is the most troublesome part.

Every time you step out of the house there is someone there to remind you you are foreign. Just moments ago I bought some donuts and the woman in the shop awkwardly gestured at me instead of speaking to me.

Obviously, this is not the end of the world and it's nothing to lose sleep over but I would advise people thinking of coming to live in Japan that attitudes and norms around race are quite different.
They spent a couple of years building a shiny new building, only to move out of it after a year?! What a waste...
In much of the US, the longer distance recreational bike paths are more developed than local infrastructure.

So who covers local intrigue, then?

To whom does one blow the whistle about corruption at City Hall? To the local Sinclair afilliate?

I suspect NPR covers that for a lot of people; it might be correlated with why some politicians are so eager to defund them completely.
I can tell you recruiting for South San Francisco was way harder than recruiting for SF. If I lived in SF without a car, that'd be a deal breaker for me. They're going to start losing people, or see a huge spike in chronic working from home. I guess they have to move somewhere at some point, and no move is without trade-offs.

Regarding the gross receipts tax, couldn't they just move their HQ-on-paper to any place that doesn't have a gross receipts tax?
It’s still racism even if it’s culturally acceptable.
I experience this empty seat phenomenon in America, as a regular white man. I noticed it in college. Nobody would sit by me unless they had to, but they were never obvious about it either as far as I could tell. It just seemed like I had some social forcefield around me that pushed people away.

I told me wife about it, and we had a laugh. But over the years it continues to manifest itself. I send me wife pictures of me at a full conference with empty seats only around me. I set up experiments to test my theory. At the airport, or even at work, I will deliberately sit in a middle section that would force people to sit next to me. Yet time after time, the seats next to me are the very last to be taken, if at all. I've tried being extra approachable (smile a lot), dull, aloof, be on or off my phone, etc.

I am a good looking skinny guy who has excellent hygiene. But I have some negative social forcefield I can't explain.
"Amazon.com Inc. might need to spend billions of dollars in the future to prevent the sale of counterfeit goods, expired food or dangerous products on its platforms to preserve the customer trust that is critical to the company’s future, Amazon consumer chief Jeff Wilke said Tuesday."

As the ancient Spartans would say: "Might."
"Just like us humans, learning to drive and navigate seemed to have a relaxing effect on the rats. In a control experiment, they found rats had higher levels of cortisol when being driven around in remote-controlled cars than when they were allowed to steer themselves."

From the futurism post https://futurism.com/the-byte/scientists-rats-drive-tiny-car...

Seems like a terrible control imo for me to say driving intrinsically has a relaxing effect. A better control would be rats doing nothing vs rats driving and seeing if the rats doing nothing were more stressed than the driving rats, meaning the driving rats were actually lowering their baseline stress.

In this experiment the control of being a passenger in a terrifying vehicle moving all by itself with no autonomy or control over the situation can quite likely be the thing causing elevated stress, rather than rats driving depressing levels of stress. Imagine if someone suddenly strapped you into a bubble that started moving by itself and you have no idea why this is happening, no control over the situation, or where you're going or what's going to happen to you. Stressful af. Hell, people get stressed just being in the passenger seat watching someone else drive.

The vast majority of people prefer having autonomy and control over their own motion vs being helplessly navigated by someone else you don't know/trust with zero context and no idea what's going on. A little misleading if this reflects the actual study.
No/low priority doesn’t mean forbidden. Also, how is a healthy man different than a healthy woman? Both genders have the same ability to stand?

If that outlook is “is it ok to treat this person as a lower class of person”, then you should stand up for your values. Not all cultural relativism must end with blind acceptance.
So DEC thought of this as a way to edit IBM cards but IBM didn't?

The implicit claim is that somehow the machines for manufacturing punch cards were reused for computer output and that is what terminals were trying to emulate. But surely there were more displays and non-card-sized printers?
Honest question, Are Japanese any more likely to be racist against black people than white people? Or a Chinese person?

Usually racism (the hatred variety at least) comes from a degree of familiarity. You won't find a lot of KKK members in Scandinavia and you won't find much antisemitism in areas with no jews.

American race relations are not universally applicable.

Edit - added negation operator.
Forget that. I'd pay to see rat drone racing. Especially if it turned out that practiced rats flying local could often beat humans flying remote.

Forking for whatever reason is in the spirit of open source. Asking if something is right is nonsense. From an ethical point of view, it follows the license of the project so there is no issue.

If the author of the original source had an issue with the above scenario, they would've chosen a more restrictive license that didn't make it possible.
"Ten miles South" in the Bay Area might as well be "30 minutes added commute each way, if you are lucky". And that's if you already have a car, which is not really a thing with most people in San Francisco.

Just to give you an idea, according to Google Maps from where I live (Hayes Valley, a pretty central area) it'd take me right now 11 minutes on a car to get to Stripe's headquarter or 33 on public transit. At the new location it'd take me "between 30 minutes and 1 hour" or 1 hour 9 minutes respectively. The driving estimation is super variable because commuter traffic in that corridor is a nightmare.

So no, this is most definitely not click bait.
In my opinion being a startup employee comes with a great risk of being laid off at one point or another. Over 95% of startups go out of "business", right? WeWork case is spectacular, because of it's valuation and money involved.

It's not really on topic, but it's a warning message to the youngest employees of startups, if you see a fire, you can be pretty much sure it's gonna turn into a big flame that's gonna end up hurting you one way or another. At that point, you really have to think if it's not better to change a job.
I'm curious about it. But there must be something illegal about the mismatch between where most employees are located and the hq location.

First, having lived in China in different cities and in Japan, the empty seat phenomenon is nowhere as pronounced in China as in Japan. In Japan, you sometimes end up seating next to an empty seat in a packed train, I've rarely seen that in Japan. Yes as foreigners, we are more likely to be seated next to an empty seat in China but once the train is packed, the seat doesn't stay empty.

It's a very different feeling in Japan.

I also rather disagree with the suggestion to get out. Getting out is not always easy and besides that, why should one systematically accept racism? It's ok to complain about it. Doesn't mean that he doesn't find some positive aspects about living in Japan but he has a right to complain about this kind of behavior
I keep beating the same drum but it's a worthwhile drum to beat: Why not publicly fund the news (like the BBC but without the license fees)?

If such funding would make you worry about the news becoming state TV, consider that your current options are (approximately) clickbait, MSNBC (blue state TV) and Fox (red state TV), or otherwise highly compromised and underfunded.
Just so I understand, why does an ISP care so much about providing the DNS resolution? Anyway once you have a destination IP address, that'll be visible to your ISP from your packets, and a simple reverse DNS can tell them what these IPs are for. Or am I missing something?
That's also why I'm not so bullish on the benefits from DNS encryption, though it's a step in the right direction.
Apparently it's off-color to dare suggest password cracking without permission is an invasion of privacy(!) I don't recall anyone suggesting private passwords have no expectation of privacy myself but clearly people here think it to be so. So that's weird and just a bit creepy.
Methinks it's quite stupid to get involved in somebody else's conflict especially if you haven't got a foggiest idea of what it is about (and, no watching TV and reading newspapers don't equip you with understanding of realities on the ground - all you get is political spin, not facts).
There is still a difference. Even if you use SSH for some things (which you could only expose through WireGuard instead of making it internet-accessible), WireGuard protects your VPN traffic in ways that SSH does not. WireGuard renegotiates the session key every 5 minutes (SSHv2 uses one ephemeral key for the entire session), it has identity hiding (you can't tell at any point the public keys of the server or client), it has pre-shared key support to limit post-quantum or ECDH attacks, and so on.

I really can't overstate how awesome WireGuard is. I really would suggest you take a look at it.
Wow. This is a truly horrifying attempt to normalize racism. "If you don't like it, just go home." He's been there for a decade. The author likely sees Japan as his home.

The social mechanics of Japan are certainly quirky by western standards, but that doesn't mean that some things aren't universally unacceptable. You might as well say, "If you don't like persecution of gays, stay out of Nigeria." "If you think women should be able to drive, stay out of Saudi Arabia." (recently changed)

As a traveler, and someone that's been to almost 50 countries, I tend to keep my head down and not make waves when I'm out of my the cultures where I feel at home. But that doesn't mean that I can't write about injustices. That's what you're literally saying the author is not entitled to do. After a decade in said country.

It's right on the freeway, and there's a ferry. I think it's probably about as good as where the AirBnb and GitHub offices are, which are half a mile from BART. I think a lot of their employees are going to be driving in at times that avoid rush hour.
Apparently not, see U.S. v. Shabini, so an overt act requirement isn't a consequence of the 1st Amendment rule; just many laws (but not all) happen to require one.

I prefer to work with professionals who also happen to be my friends (or at least friendly acquaintances who know each other's names).

"Professionalism" doesn't have to be an impersonal facade that people hide behind. Work is all about meeting commitments and earning money, sure, but at the end of the day, we are all people, and people have feelings and frustrations. They have things they love and hate. They like being acknowledged and appreciated. This doesn't mean they are children and that the office is a playground free-for-all, though. It just means that your offices are going to be full of people.

People who, for better or worse, are often just trying to make ends meet, and are going through the motions at a job they barely stand.

I think you would be surprised at what a difference a little empathy, kindness, and friendliness in the workplace can do for a company's success, and also for your own career success (if you try it out).

As a side note, one of the things that really opened my eyes to a lot of this was from reading Dale Carnegie's famous book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People".

I highly recommend reading it, if you ever get the chance. I might have an extra copy that I would be willing to lend you, if you are curious?
On the contrary, I believe that ethnonationalism is ethnonationalism no matter where you go, as are xenophobic attitudes. The difference lies in what outcomes these worldviews produce in the world. I'm happy to let this interaction end on that note, thanks.
I had looked at Chisel a couple of years ago, so I don’t remember much. From the example on the front page, I don’t understand how the generate part is different from the generate block in Verilog. The reduce filter function usage is cool and all, but also can be done with generate and for loop in Verilog as well
I think there is a lot of over-interpretation of his. It never seems to happen to me. When you want to be the victim, you might seem to notice it happening. And certainly, there might be some people who don't like foreigners. But as far as I can tell I don't notice it. Perhaps the author has some other features that might make one want to sit beside someone else. The discriminative feature might not him being a foreigner. Furthermore, as a kid I did not like to sit beside foreigners (anyone I did not know) either. I was scared of anyone.
I don’t understand why an ‘issue’ was created for this. It means absolutely nothing to me that there is an issue when the original blog post still blatantly announces that the next version of Gitlab Enterprise is going to exfiltrate our company data.

While I’m here. You also keep talking about opt-out functionality, but the only way this is going to go over reasonably well is if the whole thing is opt-in.

We need to force the hand of Western companies by making them censor people until the rest of us rise up and cause them to lose money until they support free speech. That cost will weigh heavily against the Chinese market and cause friction in the market. People in China will have to pirate games and that itself will draw attention to what's happening.

People should also wear uighur detention camp awareness shirts at games. Make the cost of censorship go up.

Whilst I strongly disagree with some of his viewpoints, we do agree on at least one major point.

> Many would disagree strongly with the attorney general’s assessment that an acceptable technical solution to law enforcement’s problem—one that appropriately balances all of the equities at issue—actually exists.

> But, for the reasons discussed above, public safety officials should also become among the strongest supporters of widely available strong encryption.

Encryption _should_ be continued to be used, and used in a more effective manner across all communications. The net benefits of encryption outweigh the risks that these intelligence agencies complain about.

I may think of it as absolutely necessary, and Baker may think of it as a necessary evil, but if we two from very different worlds can both agree it is necessary, then it should be fully embraced.
