It highlighted how it can surface in atypical symptoms such as anger.

This caught my attention, because out of all the men and women I know who experience anxiety, this was the most typical way the former expressed it.

Who is the benchmark for how anxiety is expressed?
CBD, Meditation, self-care, reduction of social media usage, reduction of news watching...

Good for you! You can always go back if you get the itch. Most tech changes too quickly to catch up with only at the cosmetic level anyway. For evidence, see any of the cycles of coders in new stacks rediscovering patterns from two stacks ago "for the first time".
If you tap on the info button in Messages, you can click "Hide Alerts", which works fine for me.
I'm surprised. I haven't studied this in detail, of course, but regen braking seems to work fine on my Leaf. There is a(n annoyingly) noticeable transition from regen to mechanical braking. The vast majority of the time, it is using regen.
Agreed. Putting money behind your statement gives it much more weight.
Since this doesn't really mention what the issue is, I would refer readers to Engadget for an explanation[1]. It seems that Huawei is proposing a new protocol that would allow for greater control of network traffic, among other things. As to be expected, this likely is a privacy nightmare waiting to happen should it actually be implemented.

Well said and all best wishes for the future.

Well ... it might just come a little sooner than that ;-)

Much respect. I salute you.
Isn't FB's user base about half the World's population. I don't think it's selected along political lines, more likely the recent use profile is politically biased because of different politics across age-groups. Though if you're mixing in Insta', then the effect will be reduced.

Frecency of engagement with particular content producers on such platforms might tell you something useful though.
Sounds like all they had to do was give people proper departure operations, and although they would have not saved as much expense, they would have avoided looking like amoral jerks and maybe even avoided a bunch of labor lawsuits in various places.

Just treat people decently, and you don't have to be painted as callous bastards.
Having a version that doesn't pass tests is just a way of delaying the fixing of test until some time later, where the authors of the tests might have forgotten about them.

And obviously, under the hope that somebody notices the failure by then, tracks it down to the right commit, and fixes the commit, instead of adding a workaround that avoid having to find the root of the problem.

"master doesn't pass tests" isn't just about naming. Its about culture. Its about agreeing that there is some source of code that everyone agrees on should work, and having the culture of agreeing that all modifications to it should work as well, and that it is the responsibility of those doing the modifications to make sure that's the case.
Several of the "anonymous" (the hacker pseudo personality) accounts were moving in support of the protestors. It wouldn't surprise me if that triggered a backlash internally.

So you probably have people from 4chan/Anonymous who are for the protestors.. and people from 4chan/Anonymous who are against it.

I wouldn't use that as evidence Antifa isn't involved. I think the video evidence makes it clear there are plenty of people involved in the violence.
It’s a highly privileged position to be in to make a personal stand and leave your $250,000 job for another $250,000 job.

Not judging this way or that, just saying.
Facebook can verify identities and keep you outwardly anonymous.
The lowest union participation rate out of those five countries is Norway with 51%. The other four have a union participation rate of over 2/3s of workers. Oh and they implement minimum wage at the provincial/city level.

Strengthen unions (not the police union, ofcourse) and local governments. Then you will see the streets paved in gold my friend.
It's important to understand that this was already a very violent time in Montreal. Separatist terrorists were running rampant, and had a non-zero degree of public support.
Does anyone understand the security model of mail-in-ballots or have a good article about it?

This article suggests there is some security-through-obscurity with each county having its own ballot version, changed each election year.

They also mention matching voter registrations and signatures, but doesn't this defeat the principle of anonymous voting by putting your signature and name in the same envelope as your vote?
There are clearly other variables related to the _spread_ of C19 (for example public transport -- Texas and California don't have much, whereas it's widely used in Boston, NYC and many European cities).

I'm not sure I buy into the climate aspect (Brazil?) ... as for the "fading potency" theory? Maybe. But could it be that as it spreads asymptomatically through the healthy, younger population we're seeing the beginnings of some sort of herd immunity? "They" say we need 60-80% which we're not seeing yet, but clearly it's not going to be a "binary" thing where the spread suddenly stops when we get to 80%.

I think if you separate the spread of SARS-Cov2 from the severe/fatal cases of the C19 disease, what's emerging is that it's the elderly and "infirm" that are dying, but not the remainder of the population (aside from those with health issues). Perhaps the death rate correlates to 1) how much SARS-Cov2 has spread asymptomatically within the healthy population and 2) how much of that asymptomatic but healthy population have _interacted_ with elderly people / long term care homes (thus introducing SARS-Cov2 which is devastating to them).
So, some script kiddies buy a botnet and take down a few websites, and that means that the arson, looting and general violence is all the fault of white supremacists? That makes no sense.
If it's for principle, then you have to say why. Silent protest isn't.
The book Necropolitics by A. Mbembe makes these conversations more productive. I am part of many groups abandoning the constraints of the assumptions that act as thresholds throughout each back and forth on this page.

I want to put in a good word for zim-wiki here. Its a shame the Windows port seems to be on indefinite hiatus for now. Its by far the easiest GUI-based wiki to deal with, easily handles just dropping in files into a hierarchy and simply working with them after a refresh. Sorry but being able to use a mouse to navigate a wiki beats out a keyboard-based wiki any time.

Regardless of the fentanyl and methamphetamine found in his blood, and having hypertension and heart disease, a knee to back of the neck while restrained and not released when the person says they can't breathe is not proper policing. It is brutality. Asphyxiation vs heart attack, etc. don't matter. The police officer's actions were over the top, and cruel.
Probably not. You can remove Gaussian blur by performing the inverse convolution (it's tricky because you need to find the actual parameters that caused the initial blur), you can remove motion blur the same way, etc. This looks like there isn't nearly enough information there to do any of this, though.
Of course it is. Arguably the people with that privilege should have more obligation to exercise it in the service of what’s right.
We have. Unfortunately it turned out to overwhelmingly be locals, and people who maybe got a bit too swept up in the groupthink mentality of a protest - which doesn't help either side and so nobody really cares to mention it.
Terminal velocity for a streamlined rod of metal is pretty high. You're talking about tactical nuke levels of energy, delivered to a foot-wide spot on the ground.
There is nothing praise-worthy about taking a stand now, you should have been out of there ten years ago or never started to begin with. Zuckerberg has been consistently out of control and unaccountable since the Beacon fiasco, which was in like 2008.

This is slightly more annoying than all the government officials who only dare criticize the executive branch after they retire. We have way more data over a longer period of time about how horrible this company is, you should have figured it out a long time ago.

The last thing I want to read in 2020 is essays from wealthy tech workers who already cashed out talking about "taking a stand". You're not brave, you're a coward.
Another vote for org-roam.

It's such a nice piece of code, and the author and community are fantastic. Asking for help is encouraged, as is sharing your modifications to the standard workflow.

It's also actively developed, and as such new features are frequently popping up.
Kudos to them; this is great. I think both the resignation but also announcing so directly are brave (they have career ops and compensation to think about). Announcing publicly helps build a groundswell among tech workers not only at Facebook but other tech companies.

Plenty of companies hiring, I know my company is specifically looking for good people that are leaving because of layoffs and principled reasons.

Sometimes you can effect change from within.
>> According to FB:

We remove language that incites or facilitates serious violence

Backstory to that Trump comment:

In 1967, Miami police Chief Walter Headley used the phrase "when the looting starts, the shooting starts" during hearings about crime in the Florida city, invoking angry reactions from civil rights leaders, according to a news report at the time.

"He had a long history of bigotry against the black community," said professor Clarence Lusane of Howard University.

-------------

I think suggesting shooting people sounds like "serious violence". It doesn't seem FB is following their own guidelines. Also, you don't suggest shooting someone for a crime instead of having a trial, that's not how justice should work. I agree with Twitter's stance on this. Put a flag next to the comment and let the public decide.

I find it hypocritical that Facebook makes their logo black and then leaves a racist comment like that up.
How much do foreign actors help? There are, of course, US groups that want to attack these sites.

But bigger pocketed foreign actors will want, it's suggested, to spread division and mayhem to keep the US occupied.

That is, the Aleksandr Dugin's 'foundations of geopolitics' strategy regarding the US: support both sides to divide the country thereby keeping the state too occupied to command itself elsewhere.

Now our media, societies and communities are online this becomes possible, much more so than before, to those outside the geographical borders of a country.

The democratisation of the media, virtual communities and targeted-advertising attacks the weakness of democracy: mass emotional manipulation to turn democratic choices into unmanagementable tribal warfare that ends in a totalitarian state.
Technically, no, and then they would probably terminate the employee.

Maybe this is better stated as "If you resign from a hugely visible platform, because it's bad, but you don't tell anyone, have you really maximized the impact of your resignation for good?"
Why? We have sufficient ways to ID.
> Sometimes the compiler needs to generate a random value and base part of the compilation on that value.

As a compiler engineer with experience (among others) in LLVM and GCC this is the first time I'm hearing of this. Could you provide more details or a source?

I can't imagine where such behavior would be useful, let alone required. The only slightly plausible scenario I can think of would be representing some internal data structures as hash tables with random seeds to avoid denial-of-service attacks. But then the compiled code would still have to rely on, at some point, picking an arbitrary element out of such a hash table. I can't think of contexts inside a compiler where this would be a useful thing to do.
Squarespace was leaning heavily on 'AI generated websites' only a few years ago. Just add content (text, images and such) and Squarespace's AI magic would turn it into a wonderful website. I just now had a look at their website and it does not have any reference to AI at all.

Very surprising. Or maybe understandable: I am not sure if 'AI generated' is a thing to a non-IT person. It sounds complicated. Maybe that is what Squarespace learned.

I am very sure the two people that asked me for an advice in the past days would not care. 'Easy', 'cheap' and maybe 'drag-and-drop' might do it. 'E-commerce', 'onine shop' even more.
It's not true. They are usually deterministic for the purpose of reproducibility. The same compiler version, flags, and sources should produce the same binary.

Yes, __DATE__ in sources can break reproducibility. That does not mean compilers get carte blanche to be nondeterministic.
Maybe you are using facebook container?

Is the assumption here that racist groups are the source of the DDoS attacks? Might be interesting to know where the majority of the attacks originate. I wonder if the attacks are nation sponsored. Adversaries of the U.S. like to see it on its knees these days, and injecting more FUD is certainly a way to increase anger & hate.
"One person, one vote." There's probably an analogous argument to be made regarding speech online, ie. "one person, one account on platforms critical to democratic discourse".

I agree with you that anonymity is important too though.

Fortunately, there are ways to ensure data came from an original source without actually disclosing that source's actual identity.

This will probably require considerable mobilization of tech companies, governments, and citizens, but I think democracy and free speech online is important enough to warrant the effort.
It’s about time this started happening! Facebook employees of HN, how about joining him?

It sounds like the employees are foreigners who are probably unfamiliar with the polish legal system, with no income or health insurance as more pressing issues.

When I’ve voted by mail, the signature is on the outside of the envelope so that it can be validated before they remove the contents. I assume that after validation the contents go in a big stack to be counted just like other ballots.
I have a theory that the massive amount of data at our finger tips an inability to control social media lack of self care (or read awareness) has cause an inability to focus and a hyper active brain.

This habitual scroll, scroll, feed, feed, dopamine, dopamine cause the brain to be over active and thoughts hard to control. People get heightened without even being aware. Never-mind if you dont carefully curate your feed.

But that's just something Im mulling over lately.
Maybe companies which build their business on a high employee turnover and are incapable of any long-term planning shouldn't exist in the first place?
The engineer describes Facebook as being on the "wrong side of History." I take this opportunity to remind my fellow readers that History is not an infallible goddess to be worshipped. The moral arc of the past several hundred years has bent towards liberty and tolerance, but this has not been consistent and was not inevitable. It is precisely when your values are on the "wrong side of History" that you should be defending them the most strongly.

Justify your actions because they are right, not because they will be popular.

Contactless Tech Promises to Be Travel’s Next Big Thing: What’s Real and What’s
I might be a bit sceptical about the benefits of a hypnosis app, too, but you're being unnecessarily harsh. It's not like hypnosis itself as a phenomenon is automatically nonsense. It attracts people who are into woo, so there's probably lot of nonsense being thrown around, but AFAIK the phenomenon is real and has been used with some success.

So maybe don't buy all the hype, but from your comments I get the vibe that you automatically dismiss the whole thing because of the h word. That's not necessarily right either.
You're totally right on why wages are the way they are, and on Communism too.

I'm not so sure about UBI, though. You'd lose a lot of the workforce that don't make a lot of money, right off the bat.
Where do you gather FB wants to ban Trump voters?

The way people twist this is entertaining.
Whilst his stance is to be applauded, it lessens the value of the stance given that he’s not sacrificing much and won’t suffer for his cause.

Doesn’t mean it’s not the right thing to do, just that it would carry more weight if he was leaving to go work at Burger King. Then you’d say “man that guy stands tall”.

Edit: Ok reasonable criticism, I’ll withdraw.
Yes. Either join him, or explain why you aren’t.

EDIT: Looks like someone thinks they can downvote away their bad conscience.

Debian and others have put quite a lot of work into reproducible software builds:

This of course only works if the compiler cooperates.

The bug linked earlier is a regression in Clang 10. Clang 9 was deterministic for the same file, flags, etc.

I feel like I should add an obligatory comment here: cars are a very poor indicator of true wealth precisely because luxury is explicitly designed to convey the opposite.

Now, private jets and yachts...different story.
I feel like your question is snark designed to criticise the vocal/dramatic way the FB employee has resigned. I hope I'm wrong. Personally, I'm grateful for their post. I think it is designed to bring awareness to the problem and to pressure FB to do the right thing.
You probably meant to say OTR, not PGP?

OMEMO is five years old, and supported by all major clients, so it's not very "hot" anymore".

OTRv4 is somewhat hot and new. It's not in wide use (yet) and it's unclear if it is enough of an improvement to take over.
A company's bottom line IS a fixed pie. The executives spend their meetings calculating how to get the largest fraction for themselves, and leave as little as possible on the table for the employees.
Important to note that having a medal was just one of several options. Other options included working at a large tech company, or having a STEM degree from one of 15 universities in the US/top 5 in the UK. It is an "or", not an "and", the requirements seem strange but not unrealistic.
it's much more than most people have done and having the skills to be payed $250,000 is not a privilege. you don't wake up one day knowing how to code it'a a lot of work.
Regardless of whether I agree with you on that, what I'm interested in is potential malfeasance by either of the two medical examiners.
Are the views on MZ really that he's letting Facebook excuse Trump?

I see it as him trying to navigate the middle of pretty treacherous waters. I don't see profit or unwilling to toe the line with the administration as being a motive.

It genuinely seems that FB doesn't want to wade into the censorship game. And is there a better path forward for Facebook (or any platform)?.

Perhaps just different personality types. I have never worked well technically productive in an office. I view that as planning, reviewing, conversational time. I just love working on things at night. My brain feels optimized at that time. But kids stopped allowing me that window, which wasn't necessarily 9pm-2am or something. More like 3pm-midnight.
I would tend to agree, but the company has a track record of putting employees last.

The company went out of their way to force workers not to get paid for the half-hour each day they wait for security checks, not to mention the peeing in bottles due to how they structure break time.

Given their track record, an employee hostile company like Amazon likely contributed to the situation and was not just a regular victim of circumstance.
If you believe that feel free to provide an example, so we can discuss it. Your post is just FUD at the moment.
It doesn't change anything. That's not the point. It's just icing on the tragedy cake for this poor man's final days. A truly awful tale that hopefully has a silver lining in the fact that positive change comes from the event.
It's a highly-privileged position to be in to make vapid comments HN, but here we are.
Should I surmise that you don't believe liberty in online engagements should be protected at all.

Freedom to speak in the high-street (ie IRL/AFK public arenas) is all well and good but what if everyone else is speaking in the pseudo-public online spaces and a company has excluded you from those spaces.

Don't we need a legal framework that respects cyberspace as more than just the domain of company mores, that allows democratic standards to govern principal online meeting spaces?

Alternatively, companies need to accept that being able to adjust your workforce is costly and account for that. This is not something new for them. Revolut knew damn well what the labor laws looked like when they opened their Poland offices.

Following laws and regulations is part of the cost of doing business. There's no need to make excuses for companies that fail at doing this.
