It's also worth bearing in mind not everyone is a native English speaker. In languages that have gendered words, a lot of languages use the masculine subject forms by default, for example when referring to a mixed or unknown gendered group.

In French for example:

il - he or it in the impersonal form (e.g. it is nice outside today)

elle - she

ils - they, referring to a group of men or a mixed or unknown group

elles - they, referring to a group of women

Some languages, such as Swedish, are trying to introduce gender neutral forms to work around the issue:

I did read the executive order. It refers to Title VI, which works the way I described in my comment.
This can work, but it's incredibly tedious and not worth the trouble. Writing in Forth is like writing in pure CIL or JVM bytecode (they're both stack machines like Forth). Sure, you can do it, but if it was so rewarding, people wouldn't be using Java or C#.
It sounds (from the comment on that page) like the biggest benefit they got was from being able to consult with each other to align on strategy and avoid blunders, which apparently isn't standard in Pair Go. Without that, I wouldn't really expect them to see qutie such significant benefits.

> Ok! I think you're considerably overestimating the likelihood of needing to defend yourself with the type of gun you think you need.

OK. I think you heavily overestimate your own level of knowledge and understanding on this topic.

> A bolt action 22 is enough for pretty much anyone,

This is a terrible defensive choice. It is unlikely to be available if needed, and doesn't work well at short-moderate range. Longer ranges are too far for credible self defense. Also, the lethality is limited; you're going to need to get lucky to stop someone from stabbing the fuck out of you.

There are a whole lot of sketchy people who come out because the area is isolated and police response is slow.

I'm not rural BTW; I just spend a couple months a year up there recreationally.

> assault rifles is worth their availability.

Civilian semi-auto rifles use in crime (which aren't "assault rifles" btw)-- and in suicide-- is negligible. It's rounding error on the statistics.

> Owning a gun also significantly increases the risk of death by suicide.

Correlation equals causation, amirite? Risk of non-gun suicide increases with firearm ownership, but it's still clearly causative. ;)
Facebook enforcement has been sloppy recently. I think AI has actually made things a little worse, lots of false positives and false negatives, and they stubbornly stick to a decision for no apparent reason. It's likely just a bunch of different SOPs for specific reasons which they can't disclose.

My name is Chris M and I am the CMO for Private Internet Access.

PIA management has prepared the following statement regarding Mark Karpeles’s role at LTMH and we hope it addresses your doubts or concerns:

In 2018, Mark Karpeles was appointed CTO of LTMH, which was the parent company of Private Internet Access prior to KAPE. However, Mark never had an operational role in PIA and subsequently never had access to any part of the PIA infrastructure nor any role in the planning or execution of the day-to-day operations of PIA.

The role of CTO at PIA has been run collectively by Tommie P. (SvP Software, joined January 2017) handling the software development side and Gaurav G. (CIO, joined January 2015) handling the operational and infrastructure side of the business.

Mark’s role at LTMH has predominantly been to manage development teams working on FutureFC, general R&D, and providing a broader perspective of the industry as a whole rather than PIA specific issues. His work is best summarized as a valued external consultant for specific discussions related to the advancement of our privacy and security efforts.

As part of the merger with KAPE to become Private Internet, Mark currently has no operational role in the merged entity and is pursuing other endeavors.
If you use Spleeter you can isolate vocals and BGM. Maybe you are at that stage already. The problems you still need to solve, assuming you want them to blend aesthetically, is key and tempo. For this you will need to detect the key and tempo each part is in. Then you'll need to adjust the tempo and key from one or both parts to match. Even then you will still likely have a clash of structure where the verse and choruses don't match up or even worse structure dissimilarities. For this you need another neural net like Spleeter but trained to combine various structures of music, or of course you could do this part by hand.

I am not sure why you are saying Microsoft transformed, its still the same old one now trying to embrace Linux as it runs as the main workload on Azure instead of windows. This is just done for survival, otherwise Microsoft would have gone to irrelevance.

Windows and Office licenses are still the main driver for Microsoft, just with accounting tricks and office 360 made into cloud revenues. This is an investor story to jack up the stocks. They are no better than google when it comes to platform lock-in. On top of it having used Azure services, I can say without a doubt its inferior to Amazon and Google cloud experience.

Microsoft didn't transform it's just that enterprises who hold up upgrading Windows and Office did so after windows 7 debacle to Windows 10. This is just cyclical uptick, not really transformation, its just lucky Nadella. The only good thing Nadella did is, didn't take any disastrous decision to thwart the uptick by embracing Linux and trying open source, by understanding that if it's not done Microsoft will go the IBM path to irrelevance.

In the process Microsoft having an old relationship with enterprises helped them to move some workloads to Azure even though it is an inferior service, by supporting Linux and showing commitment to it for financial gain not out of goodwill towards open source.

Still today Microsoft relevance on mobile is due to its office products, otherwise it is as good as irrelevant on mobile application and development front. It's alive on mobile just due to proprietary platform lock-in to .NET. Now made it open source to try to increase the share as it's not as useful given the rise of nodejs, Python, rust and other platforms.

To be fair, Linus, you and everyone who develops the board bitch about that same thing. Some people even parrot it without understanding the underlying issues at even a basic level. So let's see their models that compete with the rpi at the same price point. Until I see those, I am left to see a whole lot petty whining. The rpi is very much in front of the pack when it comes to their clearly stated mandate.

Remember the purpose, and not lean too heavily onto your personal ideology.
Bloomberg did provide evidence. In the article. You supply refuse to accept it as evidence of their claims. They aren't obligated to provide more evidence, especially since their report has not been debunked in any way.
That's not true at all. I know multiple people who are incredibly productive in Forth environments, though I don't use it myself. Pretending that it's like writing in JVM bytecode (despite some overlap between the two) is completely unfounded.

Your claim that C# and Java won based on merits is similarly unfounded: they won because they have major corporate backing. There are countless languages before and after that did what they did, better. Limbo beats Java at almost everything Java aims to do, for example.
Not JUST my gut, friend! There was "7 °C (13 °F) of warming in just a few years" during the Younger Dryas (around 12,900 to 11,700 years BP). That is in your 130k year range.

> Since the poor security practices have led to people getting spied upon and harassed, those poor security practices are clearly related to dystopic surveillance concerns.

Typically, these dystopias generally imply state surveillance on an unwilling or unsuspecting populace. Yes, hackers can gain access to your indoor security cameras, but that only affects people willingly installing security cameras inside their own homes and adhering to bad security practices. Doorbell cameras aren't compelling targets for hackers, which is why all of the stories we hear are about cameras installed in someone's bedroom. And I don't see how this differentiates Ring's products in any way from having your bank account hacked, or your email, or any other personal data. Problematic and worth consideration? Yes. Dystopic? Not really.

> "And Amazon's surveillance doorbell cameras are just the start: The company is selling a multitude of other gadgets equipped with microphones, cameras and sensors, all designed to gather enormous amounts of data, which Amazon refines -- like crude oil -- into power and profit. Alexa, the company's "home assistant," is constantly listening and explosive investigations revealed that Amazon employees have also listened, via Alexa, not just to private conversations, but also to deeply intimate moments such as couples having sex or kids singing in the shower. Amazon even marketed its microphone-enabled Echo Dot Kids directly to children."

Entirely valid complaints, regarding Alexa devices. Its unrelated to Ring, and especially doorbell cameras. Unless people are having numerous and long private conversations in front of their doorbell, it seems again like those concerns don't apply here.

> The company has also partnered with more than 600 police departments across the country to tap into the surveillance network its customers are creating for them, developing a seamless process for government agents to request footage from tens of thousands of Ring cameras without warrants or any judicial oversight.

Can someone verify this? Because I was under the impression that customers had to opt in. And regardless, I still fail to see what people might be concerned about regarding doorbell cams. They aren't capturing anything that isn't readily available.

Perhaps these are arguments against putting Ring security cameras in your house, but I still am not seeing the end of the world scenarios these articles are prophesying resulting from doorbell cameras.
> unless they provided the OS-level signing keys on request

All they need is to provide a bypass which permits executing a modified binary, which they already do otherwise projects like Homebrew and MacPorts wouldn't be possible, not to mention the fact that development on macOS would become a nightmare.

From a technical and legal perspective there's no reason to avoid the GPLv3 for a program like GNU Make. Apple's lawyers are just lazy and instituted a blanket, company-wide prohibition against GPLv3. A GPLv3'd Bash might plausibly create some headaches given the system integration, but they could have always used ksh like every other BSD, or zsh as they're now doing, as the default system shell and shipped a modern, updated Bash as a convenience for user scripts. iOS also poses additional headaches, but that's a separate issue--Apple already deprecated system(3) and in general you can't (and don't) rely on shell programs in iOS.

TL;DR: Apple's lawyers are lazy and needlessly hostile, even given an expansive, unrealistic interpretation of the GPLv3 anti-circumvention clause.

There's much more to hosting a service than standing it up on the modern equivalent of an VM and assuming it'll never need to be touched again.
A headline sorely in need of "In Worms" on the end.
Why would they even care about ‘winning’ the cloud? To what end? Google is officially and advertising company, and the large majority of their revenue depends on it.

This strategy is working so well for them, I just don’t see why they would even care about grinding out a little extra market share in the cloud hosting space. Why? Maybe just to boost their ego?

Is it really worth it to them? Whatever comparatively small amount of extra revenue they squeeze out will still be dwarfed by the ad revenue. I imagine they will continue doing what they do.
Go to an engineering school and ask if calculus is required to be a good engineer ;-) You can be a programmer without a lot of math skills. You can do a good job in a number of different areas. You can be promoted and lead other programmers. You can write a lot of good code.

However, there are a lot of areas where knowing linear algebra will help you enormously. Many people who don't know linear algebra often don't see the problem because they will never choose a solution that will require it. They often don't know enough about it to realise that a solution exists and is potentially better than the solution they are reaching for.

Similarly, I can't tell you the number of times I've seen abject failures because the people involved did not understand statistics. In fact, if you only choose one math related area to learn about as a programmer, I highly recommend choosing statistics (which will unfortunately require calculus to understand well). Again, people who do not understand statistics often fail without realising that they are failing -- because they don't understand the statistics ;-)

I can make a similar remark for combinatorics and a variety of other mathematical disciplines. For a very cool job I once had to map animations onto a non-euclidean surface. Sure, I don't have to think much about math in my every day work wrestling with a legacy Rails system but I'm not sure I would want to define my entire career as doing that.

I would recommend that any programmer who wants to be a good programmer and to work in a variety of interesting fields to study math. Universities hardly have a monopoly on math. There are many good books and many internet resources to help you. You don't have to do it, but it will help you if you do.

The "phonies" are good at interviewing and do well on the non-technical aspects of the jobs. Also a fair portion of top positions at FAANGs have long since been populated by MBA holders, so there are built-in network effects and biases at play.

I know of a place that tried Mattermost, realized it was crappy demoware (their words, not mine), and dumped it for another solution.

It doesn't really have a place even doing open source works (no real controls), nor in the corporate world... unless you pay.

I have to agree with their assessment of demoware.

> ...to create a transparent and verifiable infrastructure...

How is a user supposed to verify the infrastructure? Do you mean you're going to hire a third-party auditor and ask users to trust their verification?

I mean, that's better than nothing but it doesn't exactly enable everyone "not to trust, but instead, verify." In this scenario, the auditor is the only one doing the verification.

> ...in which no one, including ourselves, is permitted access to the servers through which VPN traffic flows.

Then how do you deploy the servers in the first place? How do you identify and handle hardware and software failures? How are you defining "access" such that this idea is possible?
Physics still holds true; if I create a signal in a certain spectrum, it will raise the noise floor for other signals in that spectrum limiting effective communication. It did so in the 60's, it does so now. No amount of calling it "dogma" or "parroting" is going to change that..

I'm sure his role is perfectly defensible and his experience a valuable asset for PIA in this space, but I think the issue is the optics of such a hire and what it says about other decisions that have happened or have yet to happen regarding the sale/direction of PIA. It's just especially odd considering what seems to me like obvious overlap between "People interested in having VPN service", "People interested in Bitcoin", and "People who are distrustful of Mark Karpeles".
It sounds like you love CS. I got hooked on programming when I was a kid and couldn’t imagine doing anything else. There may be lean years—I “started” my professional career in 2001 and it was a terrible time. But, honestly, it’s been great and I love it. It takes conscious management, but, really, if you focus on continuing to learn and work on challenging problems, your expertise will compound at a higher rate than those who only have a passing interest, and you’ll be set.

All agriculture is heavily data driven. It is not that you couldn't put your skills to use, in theory, but it is not economically viable to do so as there are businesses who have full-time employees doing it better and cheaper. In order to stay competitive with other farmers you have to turn to the third-party providers, not hack it yourself.

To make such a thing economically viable you'd have to find a problem space that is either unexplored or unique to your business. Both are unlikely to begin with – everything you can think of has already been done – but in the odd chance you do have something in the former case, you really need to dedicate all your time to it in order to make it a commercial success. That pretty much means giving up farming. The latter case doesn't really come up either as farming is a commodity business. There is no benefit in finding differentiation in almost all cases. If you really have a good idea unique to your business, your neighbour is still going to want to copy you, which brings us back to the first case.

Agreed that Google isn’t going to announce one day that they’re going to demolish all the datacenters in 30 days, but that doesn’t mean that GCP has any guaranteed future either. If Google leadership decides to walk away from cloud hosting, it’ll come in the form of reallocated engineers, reduced headcount, smaller conferences, and a general transition to “maintenance mode”. (At which point it’s a corporate backwater and everyone who can transfer out will.)

But for companies picking a cloud platform tomorrow, that’s a fate as good as death! AWS and Azure won’t slow down development and new features, so a couple years after GCP stops being a priority, it’ll start also being a bad deal, and a couple years after that it’ll be a straight-up strategic liability. THAT is why anything other than full-throated support from Google leadership for indefinite GCP investment will lose them business.
