I think anything anyone does will get varying types of attention if enough people see it, some of it will be negative and some of it positive. Each of the "You will be punished for X" could just be "Someone will try to punish you for X".

In a similar vein, the thing that got me to try Linux when my previous computing/programming experience was VBScript in high school and Matlab in my ChemE degree, was a bash one liner that renamed and organized by date some photographs that a group of many friends had taken from a vacation trip. I thought it was incredible that that kind of power was available a terminal away, and also a first class feature.

I'd never given a lot of thought to it but even the fairly large house I grew up in during the 60s/70s didn't have a dedicated office although there were large bedrooms with desks. I was fortunate enough to have a nice dedicated office before the current situation hit.

One does see a huge contrast on video calls between people in seemingly offices (or, if bedrooms/living rooms, sufficiently stage managed and lit to appear as such) and those obviously balancing laptops in a bedroom or kitchen table.

Maybe because in many cases (not saying this one as I don't know the details) it is because it costs people in taxes to keep these museums/pay the artists and also it is also very much linked to favours/connections (there is a word but I am missing it, opposite of meritocracy) for these artists? If I signed a urinal on the cafe I am now, I would be label a vandal, but if some 'important' person does it, it has meaning and perspective?

I never went to a modern art gallery since maybe 15 years ago when tax-funded museum displayed a piece of art that was just an old piece of bread in the floor. No-one at the floor when I visited 'understood' it and found it the tacky and just self masturbation by the 'artist'. My tax money paid for that idiot to put a piece of bread on the floor and call it art, and through connections (which are more important in the art/movie/music world than people realised) I paid to have someone put a piece of fucking bread on the floor.

Yes, after 15 years I am still angry because my tax-euros still go for this shitty things that are justifiable as 'art'

We just did pretty much the exact same thing with a large in-house ETL application. We can do great static analysis of the dependencies of different jobs and the coverage of various tests. Most PRs are now running a tiny fraction of the test suite (thousands of tests total) in minutes instead of an hour. Run all test cases before deployment of master just in case we missed something.

> It's not rational and goes against everything [...]

It's a justified reaction to how corporations work[0]. Similar to how people feel viceral revulsion at burn scars, even though burn scars are not in any way contagious, (in part) because they look similar to horrible skin diseases that are quite contagious.

It's (probably) unfair in this particular case, but it's not at all unjustified.

As of 2 or so years ago, there's a bright flash every time a car drives through (taking the pic from the front). In PA, license plates aren't required on the front of cars...so what's the point of taking the pic from the front? I also haven't noticed any pictures being taken from the back. My assumption of why they're doing this is to compile nice clean labeled facial recognition data for ML training. Not only that, they can scan other faces in the car to see who you're traveling with.

Worse than unimportant, I find copyleft harmful to the developer community as a whole. Software is hardly "free" when you have to bend to the author's demands to license your entire rest of your project under their ideology if you want to use it, and I think we should stop calling it so. Maybe "Conditionally Free Software" instead. You're hardly helping the world releasing libraries in terms that nobody but hobbyists (who are going to rip your code out and replace it if they start making a proprietary product, which is not evil) will find acceptable. It works for the Linux kernel and self-contained applications but that's it.
I don't envy your position.

Your stakeholders have all been burned before either personally or by other vendors and you will have to somehow built trust against those mental barriers.

I personally treat any company who can access my information as if they are willing to undermine their previous statements, have non-public contracts which sell/trade my information with disreputable companies, can pivot in a moment of desperation to do everything they previously promised not to do, may be M&Aed in such a way that all previous contracts are significantly modified, could have terrible security controls of their data, or may not actually delete all copies of data when they say they do.
By the time stuff ends up in a huge museum, it's almost certainly going to be cliche. Those places will collect striking or significant examples of whatever styles and times they're featuring, and then the "anybody could've done this" discussion is similarly played out and tired.

If you don't like a style, don't go to exhibits that feature it. That's why I avoid still lifes and portraits and a lot of other pre-19th-century work. I find them dreadfully dull.

And if you want to see new things vs things you've already made up your mind about, you're gonna have to do more work and more digging to find the right venues!
Yes, in many countries some of the activities of the sterotypical old Hollywood movie "private eye" would be a crime; and the concept of "private investigators" is very limited in the scope of what they can do and thus very rare and obscure.

The performance is good and it doesn't rely on weird (to me) installation like NX does (NX installation creates a unix user, maybe this is necessary for some enterprise-y things, but my use case is "a smoother VNC").

I seem to recall facing issues with having exactly the same version on both client and server because the code didn't try for any forward or backwards compatibility, don't know if that's still the case.
As an aside I really like their website. If it rendered the citations cleanly without javascript it would be perfect.
It indeed is difficult to combine static typing, and actors that can receive messages from any other actor. "Session typing" is a way of handling this, but I've yet to see an implementation that isn't overly complex.

Type-checking messages on the sending side is straightforward: just use a generic PID/actor type of some sort. So for example (using Inko [1] syntax here):

let child: Process!(String) = process.spawn {
...
}

child.send('hello')

Handling this on the receiving end is more tricky, as a receive could happen anywhere at any time. Imagine somewhere deep down you have a method like this:

def foo {
process.receive
}

How would the compiler know what type `process.receive` is supposed to return? What if you want not just a string, but a specific list of strings?

I'd say that for most languages the best approach is to use some kind of "Any" type for messages, and rely on some form of pattern matching to figure out what you're dealing with. This has the downside of not providing compile-time safety, but it might be good enough. For example, in Inko (this is a new addition not yet released) you would do something like this:

match(process.receive) {
'start' -> { start_the_thing }
'stop' -> { stop_the_thing }
else -> { oops }
}

Reminds me of a quote from Picasso: "When art critics get together they talk about Form and Structure and Meaning. When artists get together they talk about where you can buy cheap turpentine."

I can appreciate the type of conceptual art you're talking about as like a commentary on the very context it has ended up in, or as a way to question what makes us call an object "sculpture" vs. "garbage", or whatever. But I'm with you. I want to see folk art, outsider art, works-in-progress, beginner projects, and new experiments - both to connect with the community around me and so I can steal some of what I'm seeing to adapt for my own projects.

I like to do the critic thing too, but for me experiencing the products of art does not get me nearly as excited as experiencing the processes of it, whether I'm the artist or someone else is.

> I believe all of them are doing unethical research, especially facial recognition.

Yes all of them are doing facial recognition research, except... OpenAI, so how exactly is OpenAI used as a scapegoat to be able to do that kind of research without public backlash?

> By directing their cash through OpenAI they can avoid whatever fallout comes from unleashing things like GPT3 on the world.

GPT-3 si not unethical research. It is what you decide to with it and how you decide to release it that can potientially be unethical.

Also, OpenAI is just ahead of other labs because they have an insane compute budget and really talented people, but if you have been following a little bit the NLP news, you will see that your theory of OpenAI being a front for unethical research just makes no sense.
OpenAI release GPT-2, 1.5B billions parameters, then NVIDIA realeased Megatron, 8B parameters, Google released T5 at 11B and recently Microsoft did turing-nlg at 17B. So they are clearly working on this in their own names and very much publicizing their work.
I don't know if it is expressing some sort of bias, but some of the companies seem to be purposely expressed in a "negative" fashion, by including red X's for "missing" benefits, but those exclusions don't seem to be uniform?

A couple examples:

- Uber has a bright red "X" beside "Sick Time", seemingly to imply that working at Uber gives you no sick days. However you also have "Unlimited PTO (Vacation/Personal days), so this just seems misleading (at best)

- Neither Uber nor LinkedIn offer "On-Site Tire Replacement" or "On-Site Car Wash / Detailing", but this is only explicitly called out under Uber

It appears that only Uber, Amazon, and Salesforce have _any_ "missing benefits" explicitly highlighted, which feels very misleading.
Sorry but Islam has problematic requirements for its adherants that mean the Chinese are right. It should be regarded as a virus. It is a form of modern day slavery, and compels its followers to subjugate, convert or depose of the Kafir and terrorise their fellow Muslim to be compliant.

I'm sorry it hurts your feelings, but if we're cancelling links to slavery in Britain. It's time to stop being tolerant towards the intolerant and stop accepting this Abrahamic religion that hates us so if we're going to have any kind of future.

The religion has caused more destruction and genocide, misery and despair than most other ideologies except communism and modern leftism. If you don't support China, you are missing the grass for the trees. They are well within their rights to remove such a malignent, subsistant and coersive demos.

If you doubt me, read the history of Islam, and learn about the lot of those they will subjegate eventually after theyve slowly improved their demographic whilst the rest of us are trying to earn a living.

I don't have a problem with Muslims, but I hate Islam. Hardly any mixing has occured in 60 years between them and non-muslims on my Isles, they have honor killed many that have attempted it and as an aethiest it is not acceptable how they treat apostates.

If you are going to bring your American Identity Politics to my Isles (where we are not equipped to deal with them) in order to cancel my countries links to slavery, it is time to cancel the modern day slavery that this man made religion represents.

Consider it justice for the over 30,000 of our girls that were raped, injected with heroin and cast aside.

I took it as a challenge to myself to think of "actual Conservative values" I would support.

Here are some of Nixon's policies that I support: SALT I and The Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, the EPA, OSHA, NEPA, Clean Air Act, starting the War on Cancer, enforcing school desegregation, the Revised Philadelphia Plan, endorsement of the Equal Rights Amendment, support for black capitalism, and meeting with protesters in front of the Lincoln Memorial.

As a Senator: statehood for Alaska and Hawaii (which I would extend to Puerto Rico and D.C.), voted in favor of civil rights for minorities, and supported federal disaster relief for India and Yugoslavia.

Would you consider those to be actual Conservative values?

(I'm leaving out a whole slew of things I don't like about Nixon. I assume secret wars are not part of actual Conservative values.)
I don't know. There is some truth to this, but it's the same kind of argument I've heard from Rails people, EmberJS people, maven people, and many others; it's the famous "you're holding it wrong" argument.

Sometimes you really are the best judge of what you need, and when the system works against you because for whatever reason the designer of the original system thought your problem is not an actual problem, you have to resort to weird monkeypatches or weird workarounds.

I would be fine with the "this problem has been solved" argument if we could all agree about objectively right solutions, and in some cases we can (e.g. you don't want to handroll your own crypto), but more often we just don't.

> From what I can see, the proposed solution to "institutional racism" is to browbeat everybody into thinking nicer thoughts.

That has never been the fix for institutional racism; the whole point of efforts to get people to recognize racism as an institutional problem rather than a mere personal one is so that the institutional problems which maintain it can be attacked. If you make the above claim sincerely, then you seriously have been paying approximately zero attention to anyone addressing institutional racism ever.

> But we've been trying that for decades

Whether what you describe or the actual fixes pushed by people advocating to address institutional racism in law enforcement, no, we mostly haven’t. We've mostly been backing the institutions charged with institutional racism, and not trying anything, which is why a movement that has spent most of the time up until the eruption in support in the wake of George Floyd’s murder marginalized even on the Left has grown up trying to get people motivated to have ant concern at all for the issue.

I mean, there were the Obama-era federal investigations that were ostentatiously discontinued by the incoming Trump Administration (which definitely fall into the driving institutional reform, not thinking nicer thoughts, camp), but not a lot else.

> Whereas, the solution for institutional corruption is to change the structure of the institutions

That's what the people talking about institutional racism have been saying since they started talking about it; that is like the entire import of the modifier “institutional”: that the source and, therefore, the solution is in the structure of institutions.
So, just to be clear, you are perfectly fine with someone taking something someone else created and violating the terms upon which they were given that thing?

e.g. If I took code you wrote and lets say released under an MIT license and claimed I wrote it and didn't give you any credit, and in fact released it under another license entirely, you'd be fine with that?
China is the second most powerful country on the planet and the multilateral orgs are a political field to control just like any other. China (and the US, EU, Russia, etc..) will always work hard to move forward their agenda in these forums.

In some ways that's one of the main purposes of the UN, WHO and all the other institutions; to create a space for dialogue and disagreement that reduces the number of hot conflicts.
