FWIW, in her debate with Steven Pinker, Elizabeth Spelke shreds the incorrect argument that females have more interest in people and males have more interest in things. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Hb3oe7-PJ8

Please think carefully about what happens if your claim turns out to be wrong. If males and females turn out to have equal interest in people and things, then your argument that you're spreading here is unintentionally a cultural gender based bias, in effect unconscious sexism.
Oregon (and New Jersey) restricts gas pumping to station attendants as well. Not saying these things are related, not saying they are not.
“Who is to know?” That’s what the report linked in the article is for. To provide evidence for the claim stated in the title of this post.
Removing the auction house was one of the first big changes they made to the game. I also get the feeling that it was the same moment where they massively dropped their expectations for how much money they would make off it and cut development way back. Still, Diablo 3 now is light years ahead of what it was at release and is actually a lot of fun. However, it is quite different from Diablo 2 (just like that was quite different from Diablo 1).
I’ve seen people downvoted for highlighting that “libertarian” was a term invented in the context of anarchist and socialist struggle before being co-opted by the right, so I’m going to go with the latter...
IT decisions that get people fired are usually not well known to the public anyways.
"You have no reasonable expectation of privacy when dining out."

What's reasonable is a matter of opinion.

Let's say it was revealed that for many years some popular restaurant had had hidden microphones at each of their tables recording all their customers' conversations.

I think most people would be outraged at such revelation because they did in fact expect privacy when dining out.

They might tolerate being filmed, but not overheard when talking at their table "in private".
A Generation’s Vanity, Heard Through Lyrics (2011)
Having read it, the paper itself is much more balanced than how the biased persons (in any direction) would like to talk about it. It ends with (emphasis mine):

"The main results obtained in the present study
were a doubled incidence of all neoplasms with a
threefold increase of cancers of the alimentary
tract and a sixfold increase of malignancies of the
haemopoietic system and lymphatic organs in 20-
to 59-year-old career military servicemen exposed
occupationally to pulse-modulated 150- to 3500-
MHz RF/MW radiation. However, this does not
prove a causal link between development of neoplastic
diseases and direct interaction of EM
fields, since retrospective analysis cannot provide
convincing evidence for such links. Nevertheless,
the high incidence of certain forms of neoplasms
in personnel exposed to pulse-modulated
RF/MW radiation clearly shows a need for urgent
identification of causal factors present in the
occupational environment."

Two other quotes from the paper showing author's awareness of what can and what can't be claimed as proven:

"The highest difference in morbidity rate
between RF/MW-exposed and non-exposed personnel
was found for malignancies of the haemopoietic
system and lymphatic organs (Table 2)
with the odds ratio exceeding 6 and the incidence
of above 40 new cases per 100000 of exposed
subjects annually.

Neoplasms of the haemopoietic system
and lymphatic organs are among the malignancies
that are to a considerable degree related to multiple
environmental and occupational factors, including
ionising radiation, organic solvents, some
synthetic stains, resins, higher alcohols and
numerous other substances [l]. Therefore, many
industrial occupations, including e.g. aluminium
production, petroleum refining, painting, mining,
driving and car servicing, are considered to increase
the risk of development of leukaemias and
lymphomas. Electric and electronic industry
workers have also considerable possibilities for
exposure to potential leukaemiogenic factors and
substances during their routine or additional duties.
This may strongly influence and bias the
morbidity rates of haemopoietic and lymphatic
malignancies occurring in these populations and
their relation to EM fields."

Also some technical details are provided:

"Although assessment of
the individual exposure levels (‘dose’) was not
possible, it is known from measurement of field
power density at working posts that about 80% of
the investigated personnel were exposed to
RF/MW fields of 0.1-2 W/cm2 and 15% to
mean power densities of 2-6 W/m2"

and earlier, showing that the cm2 above is a typo:

"Evaluation of the exposure intensities
revealed that at 80-85% of posts, the fields
(mostly pulse-modulated RF/MWs at 150-3500
MHz) do not exceed 2 W/m2 (0.2 mW/cm2),
while the others have intensities 2-6 W/m2"

It seems that those were the people being exposed to the radar beams during their work hours (or maybe even outside of these). We should for the start compare that amount of exposure to that of humans in the cities due to the cell phones to know which orders of magnitude is the difference.
> For customers, this isn't _adding_ more surveillance than they already have in their restaurants.

That depends on how you measure quantity of surveillance. It's not increasing the scope of surveillance, it is increasing the distribution, and therefore the risk of it entering the hands of someone who would abuse it against you somehow.
After a meetup this spring, someone talked my ear off about how Dell is highly motivated to have a private cloud solution that works for people.

Having Dell and Amazon in a bidding war over your next project is probably the best world you can be in.

For my money, you should run one data center in the same location with most of your tech talent, and a second one geographically distant, and regionally load balanced.

But we typically don’t write our software for this, and you can’t get the business to do a rewrite until they see how stupid expensive a lift and shift ends up being.

I think these narratives about saving money are typically covering up a story of how much was squandered starting five quarter ago...
This is very naive.

In addition to suppressing speech, there are foreign intelligence operations posing as domestic actors influencing political campaigns. This is illegal under US law, for good reason. It distorts the entire process if no one can tell who the speech is coming from. Foreign lobbyists must be publicly identified for this reason, and its interesting that multiple Trump administration persons have been found guilty of "not registering as a foreign agent".

Many fake US organizations and persons were created by Russians to influence the 2016 campaign, in clear violation of US laws. It seems the Chinese are not far behind. And because they are foreign actors, this falls squarely under the purview of counter intelligence and foreign policy towards hostile actors.

I do not think the US Founders vision of free speech included massive foreign propaganda campaigns.
Clearly we need a standard for traffic lights to push alerts to neighboring phones and a regulation mandating its deployment to traffic lights and support by handset vendors.
I believe parent was using "reasonable expectation of privacy" in the well-defined legal sense [1]. While it may be a matter of opinion in casual discourse it is much less so by law.

Not clothes, artificial clothes.

From TFA: "Many of those fibers are polyester, a plastic found in an estimated 60% of garments. Producing polyester releases two to three times more carbon emissions than cotton, and polyester does not break down in the ocean."

I'm not sure if it is more the consumers or the producers driving it, but it's almost impossible now to find actual 100% cotton clothing., at least in the US. It seems that an entire generation or mor literally does not know what genuine cotton jeans feel like.
How to outsource custom CNC machined parts
“You have no reasonabe expectation of privacy when dining out.”

Maybe we should change that thinking. how long will it take to add microphones to all these cameras and record/analyze all conversations? Now that total surveillance is economically and technically becoming viable for a lot of players we should rethink the concept of privacy. Otherwise I see a dystopia developing more sophisticated than 1984.
> I'm confused. Is there some aspect about a person being laid off that makes them more/less desirable that they need a specific service to help them find a new job?

Yes. There are stigmas. People solve this by just having their perpetual consulting company on their resume, or put back on their resume when convenient. There is bargaining power when you can feign disinterest, as in you're 'open to opportunities' but not 'looking for a job I'll start next week' like a new college grad. Less relevant for engineers in this job market but not irrelevant.

> Also seeing a trend of niche job websites popping up... Fragmentation in this industry seems counterproductive.

But that buyout isn't counterproductive.

Also recruiters either earn a tiny referral bonus or like 20% of the agreed upon salary. The company doesn't pay it from the employee's salary, they just pay that additional amount equivalent to what 20% of the salary is.
I don't remember anyone saying Uber/Lyft/Airbnb were toys when they began. Some might have thought them unlikely to succeed, but that's not the same thing as being a toy.
Some advantages cited in the slides are:

1. consistency with their existing codebase

2. leveraging Rust tooling (i.e. code completion, error messages etc)

3. being able to compile the same code for CPU and GPU, for example to test and debug GPU code

None of these are Rust-specific, but it would make sense if you're already all-in on Rust. Should be an interesting experiment.
Good list of concerns. I'd also add that the slower pace of writing system changes versus direct phonetics is more often a feature rather than a bug. For instance, despite some rather huge shifts in phonetics over centuries and distributed across a large variety of accents, written English is relatively stable, allowing people to read Middle English and sometimes even Old English documents with relatively more ease than had they followed more strictly phonetic renderings.

History of the F-102, from flawed design in the 50s to target drone in the 70s
Its in google / Nest's best interest to put in common place security measures like MFA or notifications like detecting an unknown device accessing the camera. If I'm paying this much $ for a product, i don't want to have to deal with having to understand the 100 different ways it could be compromised and having to deal with that.
I live in Beaverton, OR. I'm not a fan of red light cameras but it's not that easy to get a red light ticket. We only have 4 intersections that have red light cameras[0], and they were put in because of the egregious abuse of the intersections. To get a red light ticket you would've had to either ignore or respond to a yellow light way later than anyone would agree is acceptable. There are intersections here where 3 or 4 cars will continue to turn on a red signal - it's insane.

Mr. Jarlstrom's wife may have been an outlier for the hardware and software that calculates the tickets. But, overall, the system is catching folks who are breaking the law.

Too bad my company's private Github isn't visible to you because if you looked at my public one you would probably be disappointed even though I have been forcing myself to add code examples to it just to show some external effort. Internally, I'm a machine.

Also, the problem I had being an SO contributor is that my answers would get downvoted months or years later not because they were incorrect at the time I posted but well along after versions and techniques changed. That's just assholic at it happened a number of times. Thanks, whoever did those drive-by downvotes, you're a complete ass and drove me from wanting to contribute at all.
You have no reasonable expectation of privacy when dining out.

You have no reasonable expectation of enough privacy for sex.

That doesn't mean it's open season and you should expect photos and audio recordings of your conversations to be on the local front page.

Privacy exists along a continuum. It isn't an on/off switch type thing.
Yes, I did, thanks. I agree it was one of the more appealing clients, but IIRC it was demanding on my old laptop and slow, as well as being a bit buggy.
I have the complete opposite experience so I guess the reality is in between.
Sometimes there are countdown timers displaying time to red/green change. I don't know why they aren't deployed more widely, they are very convenient.
And that's also my point - you don't accidentally leave an API open. It was purposefully built this way. What CA did with Facebooks API was by design.
What's worse, someone being a prima donna or the unchangeable facts of AWS operation policies? You will always encounter roadblocks and misfeatures, but can you get around them?

Don't get me wrong, most corporate IT is deeply incompetent at their core job. It's just that you can't fix the deep problems by outsourcing the computer part.

The Deaf community's feelings on things like cochlear implants is the perfect example showing that the whole "ethical side" is pointless philosophical babble. How can anyone even think to justify not allowing other people to improve their lives in the name of preserving "a culture"?

The assumption that there are independent physical constraints and ethical side is wrong, because depending on how actually the reality works, the same action can be either the most ethical or most unethical action.
> we already get better benefits than you can get anywhere else in the states

I'm also a SWE at Google, and speaking only for myself, I might support efforts to ensure that those great benefits are harder to take away. Does that mean unionization ... I don't know, but there's a big spectrum of possible worker organization.

Yes, but those contracts are vaguely worded catchalls and do not provide details on what that punitive action looks like. I don't consider that to be sufficient to justify their reaction.
I would call this the garments or textiles industry, not "fashion"

Just a nitpick.
The shipping numbers are rather dubious. No way it's actually"just" that much. Reporting is lacking and even where it's enforced shippers use defeat devices (that secretly pump pollution into the water rather than spew it in the air) or a second, weaker engine.
Elm confronted a dizzying amount of abstraction and category theory prevalent in Haskell implementations of FRP and over time converged on a solution so amusingly simple that it ended up dropping the FRP branding entirely because it just seemed silly. Elm absolutely succeeded and gained real-world traction because it took what was at that point an overly academic and unsuccessful idea and aggressively pursued simplification. Perhaps one could argue that this pursuit had a cost as well -- e.g., the lack of typeclasses -- but I just don't think Elm would exist without that driving mission.
How so? Presumably someone with an internal 'cloud' needs someone to be responsible for a large kube cluster, to handle a uniform way to do scheduling/resource management, etc. Having an engineer who knows how to do this in AWS doesn't seem more expensive than an engineer who can roll their own internal 'cloud' system...

Sounds like we're about the same age. I did #2 and #3 and was science inclined, etc... But, I also did sports and was outdoorsy. A single TV in my house meant no computer time if my dad was home, so I had to do other things.

I started undergrad as pre-med, and programming was just a fun hobby. I remember one night while studying for some insane biology test from an equally insane teacher that while I was interested in being a doctor, I loved programming/computers/technology. I pushed through that semester and switched majors.

Even today, I feel not nerdy enough in some situations though my wife would disagree (she thinks I'm very nerdy).
Do you actually want Europe or are you just looking for cheap colo with decent network? If the latter which geographic region are you (e.g. US East).
I think it's understandable why someone would want to turn away from the public eye, though that eye is quite a different thing now than it was back then. For some, the inquiries of others, their well-wishing, demands to know how you're doing or to spend time, to attend this or that event, etc, are experienced as impositions.

Coincidentally, the other day I was reading about the life of Lou Reed, another cultural who left a legacy much smaller than could have been the case given his stature. I think we should accept that some people just live life on their own terms, and when it comes to their legacy, are fine with letting the chips fall where they may. After all, one can't enjoy one's legacy anyway.
PyObjC 6.0 Released
Yep, now shader writers only need to test for and work around backend bugs in drivers.

Also it makes gamedevs slightly happier that they don't have to ship the plain text source code of their shaders with games.

It doesn't provide any real security against RE, as SPIR-V is pretty close to being tokinized/SSAed GLSL and decompilers are trivial to implement. But if it makes them happier, so be it.
This is quite typical. Even with MIPS PI measures and the push for interoperability. Getting patient data in bulk out of a hosted EHR can be a frustrating exercise. What they are doing is holding the providers' data hostage, in the name of HIPAA and security.

Knowledge Management is clearly a ubiquitous and important business problem. I've struggled with Knowledge Management in previous roles and deployed a tool called Guru at two different companies. My teams found Guru significantly better than a Wiki because Guru distributes the maintenance load across a team of Authors (experts) and sets verification intervals (ie 1 week, 1 month, 1 year, etc) so that the Author is nudged to re-verify or update the info after the horizon expires. We found such success with the tool, and I enjoyed working with the Guru team on deployment so much, that (full disclosure!!) I now work on Guru's Customer Success team.

There was mention in the thread below about no tool being able to replace personal interaction. While I agree with that, Guru is the next best thing I've found so far, especially when teams grow to the point that the "Expert" is getting shoulder-tapped too often to focus on their actual job. Tons of other good ideas below that I don't have time to consume.

Check out getguru.com if curious!

You aren’t supposed to take that too seriously. The cabbies are usually doing it for dramatic effect for their passenger. It works for me when I’m in a cab and my cabbie honks at people. Feels like he’s trying to get somewhere on time. Probably if I paid attention, I would see him honking at people waiting for legitimate reasons.
Yeah it's a little bit difficult to imagine Rust's concurrency primitives being used in the context of GPGPU programming. Like are we talking about using channels to pass state between threads instead of using tools like barriers for synchronization? Seems like it would negate the advantages GPU's are designed to enable.
That would be the ultimate capitulation. So I expect it.
What about thrift stores or organizations like Goodwill? Those places have lots of secondhand clothes, houseware, and small appliances.

You might have trouble finding a used A/C in the middle of July, and you might have to try a few locations to find what you're looking for, but it's less trouble than plenty of stuff that people do to be more eco-friendly.
