>Do they abide by work regulations and treat everyone equally/equitably (as the org requires)?

Probably not.

But in any case, why should non-white coworkers be expected to work with a racist just because the person in question (hypothetically) puts on a token display of being tolerant? It's insulting and demeaning to ask them to put up with that.

You seem more interested in defending some implausibly courteous hypothetical white supremacist than in ensuring that real work environments are minimally tolerable for people who aren't white.
I have not seen any example of a program that would be a hundred, or even ten, or five, times longer in C++.

Him leaving Japan is undoubtedly illegal and not excusable. However if I understand the allegations correctly, he stole a bunch of money from a company he was running. Putting him to jail for 10 years for stealing $5m from a company that he just made $4bn for seems a bit harsh. Then again, Japan has the right to decide that so my opinion is irrelevant.

I've not looked for a long time but you could potentially snapshot the running process and restore it. Obviously do your reading extensively first though.
they do take millions.
the money they take is basically from Google's search deal (thought technically a few other sources too).

The money you donate only goes to the foundation, which does not pay the exec, so any donation does not actually go to exec. The donations are required for the foundation to function at all, regardless of how well the corporation does.

to be honest, the whole thing is a bit of a hack though, because really mozilla functions 100% like a corporation even if they had a real foundation inside. its just a way to ensure that the board is Mitchell Baker - not a bunch of people who want the company to profit. this has good and bad sides, and right now we're definitely seeing the bad sides: exec get paid 800k to 2500k (Mitchell), senior devs get fired for making - i bet, 100k to 300k.

foundations are made to be places where you make the world a better place without having the "i want to make money" motto and that's not what Mozilla does. Mozilla wants money to pay execs and keep on surviving. Many other foundations have similar hacks (or arguably, scams!). The other advantage is that the foundation side does not pay tax of course.
They don't even have enough spare capacity now. I think I remember reading that when peak loads were particularly high recently, they had to import power from Germany.

Not really, depends on the age of the children, by age 5 they are likely to become very good a the games. Speaking from experience, my young children play Wii Sports games.

You could argue that no gaming at all is the best option. Maybe, that's a separate discussion. Given the choice between "classic" gaming and motion controllers, the Wii model wins by a huge margin. It cannot compare, the parent comment describes the benefits really well.

There is something to your point about post-game hyperactivity, but that can be dampened with some parental intervention. The same behavior can be observed after sugary drinks, vigorous play...
Hi, yup that's true we keep the filter order fixed. For the experiments in the paper, the time-varying coefficients are generated by a neural network that is trained end-2-end to generate audio like the training set (conditioned on high-level controls such pitch and loudness).

I agree that IIRs are a great avenue of future study, also with time-varying coefficients. I've played around a bit with them, but they are harder to efficiently train with current autodiff software and GPUs/TPUs. I think they may require writing a custom cuda kernel, but I'm hopeful for things like JAX's scan operation.
-See your doctor.

I am 6'8" and had the same issue with my employer - as a cost-cutting measure it was decided that anybody but C-level would fly economy, period.

A quick visit to my doctor (who, I should add, is 6'6" or so and as such understands the issue) resulted in a letter stating that physical discomfort aside, there was a very real chance that I might develop health issues from spending a few hundred hours[0] a year in such a cramped position - deep vein thrombosis most notably.

Problem solved. No way they were going to risk acting against medical advice and later be confronted with it.

That may not be a safe presumption. Organisations like the FBI keep their investigative techniques secret as long as they can, to preserve their effectiveness in ongoing and future investigations. Trials are the exception; most cases end without one, and the decline of local reporting means the public is less informed about the daily business of the courts.

Outlook is a PWA now I believe
> It’s a bit late for that; you’ve already gone through infanthood, toddlerhood, and childhood and benefitted from the patience and generosity of more strangers than you will ever know. Now you imply that perhaps parents and their children should try to not affect others negatively. I think by and large they do, but to the extent they do affect others this way, you owe some debt of patience, and are you so sure it’s paid off?

That's the thing though. I don't think children are born with a debt to their parents or to society that they have to pay off. Now I don't go around complaining about people with kids, and just wanted to add that there are people who could have a general dislike for things being annoying or 'in the way' which could include children (or rather their parents, I don't think it's fair to put any responsibility on the children). I have a friend with with ASD that gets extremely upset with any disturbances, and who have posted more than a few rants about parents 'not controlling their kids' online, but in his case those posts are not unique to children, but without that context they read as if written by someone tho specifically dislikes kids.

I don't think children by and large have a negative effect on families and the individuals around them (if we are trusting parents, not happiness-studies) and they do have a beneficial effect on society (more people, more taxes, more welfare and happiness for the population), it's just that I don't want to create a person, that _I_ would owe a great life. The idea of viewing children as owing anything to their parents or to society before being able to make decisions for themselves as an 'ancestral sin' (original sin?) is something I feel very uncomfortable with.

Now, the thinking that the child who has no say about being brought into existence has a debt and saying it's a bit late to opt out implies that I (and other people) should have ended it in infancy to avoid this debt, and to gain the right to want things to not be annoying, but I am also pretty sure that it's a completely unreasonable expectation and doubtfully even a biologically possible decision. The consequences of that view seem awful both morally and ethically, thought I think few people spell them out.

But yeah, I don't dislike kids, but I understand someone going on a rant about them being annoying either because they don't know how hard it is or because they view themselves as not impacting others in the same way and wanting others to share their values. But I don't agree that it can be dismissed with a statement like this

> They just don’t get it. The totality of the commitment is lost on them.
> What’s new is that they also just don’t care.
Physical access does not at all need to mean that the game is over, with today's architectures.

With an iPhone, any storage you can access with physical access is going to be encrypted. The encryption key lives in the secure enclave, which you do not have access to even with physical access, barring drastic measure like trying to take chips apart and scanning their contents, which may or may not be feasible at all.

What still may be possible is bugs and exploits, but that's up to whether you are lucky enough to have one that works against a particular phone and firmware.
I totally agree. And I think this is already happening left and right. It sort of reminds of the boy who cried wolf.

> it is not a given that [...] a corporation must generate profit

I think that you are technically right, in that there can exist not-for-profit corporations. But for-profit corporations, which is what most people think about when they say "corporation" are generally legally required to put profit above any other value, assuming they are operating legally.

I completely agree with you that this is not a necessary way of organizing human society, and we are seeing more and more that the current for-profit system is disastrous for the environment and for society in general - especially given the inefficiency of regulation that you also mention.
I always do that, and do not really understand why it's not more common, even using a completely selfish and self-serving perspective.

That cramped aisle after everyone who could possibly get up did get up is damn uncomfortable, and those tiny seats get a lot roomier after my neighbors got up.

My working hypothesis is "irrational herd behavior".

Chernobyl wasn't on the "other side of the world", it was so close that the country was affected by the radioactive pollution.
It must be a deliberate tactic of the anti-nuclear lobby, to simultaneously block new reactors being built and complain that old reactors are obsolete. There is no other explanation that makes sense!

Presumption of innocence is important.

Example: there's a locally well known actor where I live that was accused of having child porn on his computer a few months ago. The press obviously jumped all over that and he was plastered over all the front pages.
Fast forward two months and it's actually looking like he isn't actually guilty and won't be dragged into court. The result for him however is that he's broke, got no more acting gigs and his kids are bullied in school.

Bad result. Because people didn't assume he's innocent until PROVEN guilty. I'd be 100% happy to trade off some exec that steals money from a company getting to skip jail for nobody who's innocent ever ending up in jail.

How to improve QA testing of an “invisible” SDK
It's really disappointing that Next continues to push forward with all these innovations that I'd love to take advantage of, but can't for the single reason that it doesn't support nested layouts or routing. Every page transition requires blowing up the entire layout, you can't have a persistent header for example. And there's no way (that I've found yet) to build any kind of skeleton loading screen during transitions.

This is a really basic issue that negates all the good they've got and it's frustrating.

Jobs do not have to be physically exhausting to be hard.

Coal miner's job is hard and deadly. programming is differently hard and not very deadly (arguably working at a desk, wreaking your brain 70h a week with 10 days off a year is somewhat deadly). i'd take the programming job any day as long as I get a bay area salary, granted that I can program.

However, i can tell you most programmer jobs are much harder, take much more hours than many lower paying jobs (not even mentioning the fact that you need to be somewhat smart and learn it for years before you can do anything).

Say drive a bus? Yeah its boring. But its not hard. Hold a 2 pers. shop? nope, not hard, and you do less hours. Etc. Heck even driving the trucks to the coal miners pay very well for a somewhat hard job.

> The sad truth is, that decision was largely driven by uninformed and emotional reactions to a single event on the other side of the world.

Actually it's completely the other way: in Germany an informed population discussed this topic for two decades and eventually a consensus in society emerged to slowly phase out nuclear first and to create a new, renewable and market-oriented energy landscape.

In Japan an uniformed population was surprised to learn over night that a single event can take out all their nuclear power plants for months & years and can cause for many of these nuclear power plants their sudden end of life. They were also surprised to learn that cores can melt in nuclear power plants and that the industry and regulators have no idea how to handle that.
> nobody can categorize Taiwan as a high-cohesion, high-trust society

Having done business in both, it is an order of magnitude better than mainland China, both in terms of civil society (helping out strangers, littering, tax dodging etc) and in terms of larger-scale trust issues (prevalence of fraud). Same goes for Korea. (As for Korea not being an active war zone and having a functional centralized government in WW2... the Korean War put paid to that pretty quickly.)

Replacing components does not give you access to the secure enclave which is on-chip. And that is where the encryption key for the storage lives.

I dont believe this explanation. Not because it comes from you. I never believed it. "Secure enclave", yeah. sure.
My point is, if you have sensitive data that you dont want to loose, you should probably not carry it around with you all day.
Apple is trying to convince us that they have invented a sort of security that hasn't existed before. They claim they have invented a piece of paper that nobody else can read. This claim is so old, and has never been true.

If I wanted to hide an important piece of information, I guess I'd find a physically obscure and secured playce, like a hidden safe or whatnot. But I wouldn't trust crypto, no matter if the key were placed in a "secure enclave" (haha), or not.
so imagine what that figure would be if the political will existed to shut those power plants down.

Today Germany announced:

Chancellor Angela Merkel's government and Germany's four coal-producing states unveiled details of their plan to phase out coal at the latest by 2038 on Thursday.

The plans outline a timeline for decommissioning lignite-coal power plants in the states of North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Brandenburg as well as easing the financial transition for the states and energy firms involved.

Energy firms will receive a €4.35 billion ($4.85 billion) payout to compensate for the coal phaseout.

Okay, so he was faced with a choice between being in jail and putting someone unrelated in jail, he chooses to put someone in jail and he is not evil?

If anything, it seems like he chose to save some money by not paying off the logistics team and prefered some comfort by not entering Lebanon openly instead of in a box, exposing the logistics team.

I think you wrongly assume that he is vilified due to him being rich. Non-CEO people who cause harm to others, forcing people to do things "or else" are also vilified. Rich or not, guilty or not, it is not O.K. to harm people for your own wellbeing.

If he was ill, should he also be allowed to harvest organs from living and unwilling people because otherwise, he will die?
It is easy and only a political issue, because of the coal workers, but just do like England and switch to fossil gas, it will be more useful with intermittent wind and solar, but only moderately helpful for CO2/CH4 emissions, and doesn't lead to deep decarbonation, where the only solution is a major nuclear mix, or more realistically for Germany with major renewable load the use of batteries storage for daily intermittency and hydrogen in salt caverns for seasonal intermittency.

This is not a reasonable approach at this point. You'd need to know the whole state required for processing. That includes precise time, any local storage, any remote dependencies, randomness seeds, etc. Even then, we're not even close to full synthesis from examples. This is not a modern solution. This is made up, beyond toy examples.
If I remember correctly the German public was very well aware of radioactive pollution and the fact that many old and unsafe reactors were operating in and around Germany.

For example in Greifswald an electrician caused a damage of roughly 500 Million DM on a reactor, by doing a demo creating a short circuit.

The way I read CCPA, me going to the link "DO NOT SELL MY INFORMATION" in company A can (and IMHO will be) be legally followed by company A giving the information to company B for whatever reason (other than 'monetary or other valuable consideration'), and then company B selling that data, unless I go to company B's website and opt out there as well. And, of course, there are many "company B"'s, a random news website can easily have 50+ "partners" with whom they share data.
