Revolutionary Catalonia and the Paris Commune are interesting examples of libertarian socialism. You could also look at the Korean People's Association [1], Rojava more recently [2], or the Zapatista Autonomous Municipalities in Chiapas (EZLN), which seem to be exceptional in having lasted 30 years or so.[3]

Fox News has definitely not turned over a new leaf. Here's an example from the Fox homepage that impressed you so much. It's about the latest developments from the CHAZ:

"Black Lives Matter protestors say Seattle's autonomous zone has hijacked message"
https://www.foxnews.com/us/black-lives-matter-protesters-sea...

This seems like a straightforward and believable article. There's infighting at the Zone because a bunch of anarchists have diverted from the core message about police brutality targeting blacks and other minorities, and now the BLM camp is pissed off. Right?

But wait, even though the title unambiguously states that BLM protestors are blaming the autonomous zone for hijacking the core BLM message, the article instead explains that the quote about "hijacking the message" actually comes from a woman who is speaking on behalf of the African American Community Advisory Council, and she's the one being booed and heckled by protestors.

So what's the African American Community Advisory Council? Probably some BLM-related thing, right? After all, if the title of the article states that "Black Lives Matter protestors" are accusing the CHAZ of "hijacking the message" while the actual quote came out of the mouth of someone from the African American Community Advisory Council, then surely Black Lives Matter == African American Community Advisory Council.

Right?

I mean sure, technically they must be two separate things because they have two separate names, but surely they're closely connected. Just to be positive, let's find out. Type that name into a search engine and click on the first result:

https://www.seattle.gov/police/community-policing/demographi...

Wait, the African American Community Advisory Council is actually a department of the Seattle city government. And they "work collaboratively with the police."

So Fox News saw a story about a city government employee scolding protestors. This employee works in a department that is closely aligned with the police and sides with the police, but because the department has a name that evokes blackness, that was enough leeway for them to write a false headline that intentionally confuses the reader into thinking that this is a story about internal conflict and infighting among the protestors.

Sure enough, the bovine reader comments at the bottom of the page confirm the success of this tactic:

"Even the idiots can't agree. What will they do now??"

"I guess nobody told BLM that you can't negotiate with terrorists."

"Leftists arguing over whose riot it is???"

"Eating their own"

Fox News knows that they can trust Fox News readers to glance at the headline, skip the article, feel confirmation of their biases and preconceptions, and tuck another false anecdote in their pocket to use as ammunition in case they get in an argument with a family member, coworker, or person online.

Here's a reminder that we should never be passive consumers of of a biased narrative!
> The humanities are glossed over at best in public high schools across the United States. I don't know of one that requires a PHIL intro course of students.

I'm not sure how much weight this argument holds.. The whole "gen ed" thing is a rather US-centric concept.

I don't know of any universities in the UK that require a PHIL intro course of students. When you go to university, you overwhelmingly study the one course ("major") that you picked beforehand. There's often a small amount of room on many courses for optionals from other fields, if you want to take them, but this is by no means mandatory and I'd say the proportion of folks doing philosophy modules studying a different degree at my alma mater was slim.
The issue that caused all the outrage was the National Emergency Library program

Not really: Publishers oppose controlled digital lending as well. The Emergency Library just painted a bigger target on the Internet Archive's back due to its more obviously questionable legality.
I think I can throw some light on this one. (Sorry, no references. I read about this, but can’tremember where.) Some time years ago, the US air force tried to find out, using statistics, how to design cockpits to fit most pilots. So they did multiple measurements on many people; upper and lower arm lengths, ditto for legs, back lengths, etc. Then they took the average of each measurement and designed cockpits to fit pilots of average size, allowing for some variation, of course. As it turned out, almost every pilot was much more than a standard deviation from the mean in some dimension, so these cockpits actually fit practically no one – resulting in a too high rate of (near) accidents. I am not sure how they overcame the problem, but IIRC, part of the solution involved designing for the exact measurements not being quite so critical.

> played what he wanted to play
> Didn't include most of his hits

I am always baffled when people expect a jukebox from artists of this caliber. When I go to see an artist I want a unique experience. Dylan is known to rework his songs on the fly live and you never know what you're going to get. He's got one of the best backing bands on earth who can go wherever he wants too. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Sounds like you might have caught the former which sucks but it's the nature the way he approaches live music. It's anything but safe and doesn't always work. That takes serious guts IMO and it's much more exciting that seeing some geriatric geezer punching out his hits and "collecting his fee".
People tend to empathise with that which is more relevant to their own lives; more people will have a bad relationship with management than bad health.
Tasers a great example of the problem of "less lethal" tools.

The theory is that tasers are a (edit: partial) replacement for firearms for cops. The reality is that approximately 0% of cops are willing to draw a taser if they suspect that someone else has a firearm; they go for their firearm too.

Instead tasers have replaced other methods of de-escalation and containment, which is very bad if you're not a cop. Combine this with cops being called out for people experiencing mental health crises, and this is a recipe for disaster.
As Rust becomes more prevalent in utilities, routine apps, and workflows using process-based parallelism, there will be a memory advantage to using shared libraries so that stdlib only needs to be resident once instead of once for each process. So long as it is packaged so multiple versions can coexist, this would make sense for packagers.
Using the term master doesn't bother me - in my opinion the idea of the master/slave dynamic is much less problematic when you're talking in the context of bits and bytes flicking up and down on some silicon. Having said that, if it bothers people, change it. I do suspect to a certain extent though that people are more interested in changing it because they're worried it might be offensive to other people than actually finding it offensive themselves.

The follow up tweet from the original reqeustor is:

1 - Not sure that's an important reason, why not change it to just "M"?

2 - Not for people who are already using git and have lived their entire lives on master (or for those more considerate developers, have lived their entire lives PRing into master)

3 & 4 - This is what I'm talking about, is there anyone who is actually feeling isolated and uncomfortable, or are there just a load of white people who have focused on literally the most unimportant aspect of being a black person in the tech community?
It might be your personal anecdote. I know many H1B employees who are well paid and not fearful or obedient.

Different cultures have different ways of being courteous and showing respect to others(elderly). You must've had some misunderstandings based on your own. Silicon Valley has been a dominant force. Many H1B employees contributed to the valley's success.
Lockdown just slows the spread it doesn't stop it. Eventually you will need to get herd immunity.

People without health care or sick leave will still eventually get coronavirus. The reason for lockdown is to make sure that hospitals are not overrun. It doesn't solve America's other problems.

The idea that you can get the r value low enough that it dies out completely doesn't work because it would need to be consistent across states and countries. There will always be pockets of coronavirus unless you lockdown to the point of no economic return.
Yes. I expect generic fine-grained locking, especially per-object leaks, to be less performant for multi-threaded code too, as locks aren't cheap, and even with the GIL, lock overhead could still be worse than a good scheduler.

Any solution which wants to consider per-object locking has to consider removing refcounting, or locking the refcount bits separately, as locking/unlocking objects to twiddle their refcounts is going to be ridiculously expensive.

Ultimately, the Python ownership and object model is not condusive to proper threading, as most objects are global state and can be mutated by any thread.
Look for the materials on the tags. Polyester, nylon, rayon, spandex, etc are all synthetic fibres. However, clothing that is labelled as being made of natural fibre ("100% cotton", for example), can still be stitched with synthetic thread. I am sure regulations on this vary from country to country, however.

A lot of early US workers organisations where called guilds and one of the aims was excluding BAME (to use a modern term) workers.

My understanding is that most of his decline in net worth is due to problems with branding and security at his hotels / resorts -- i.e. problems with his non-publicly traded assets. In my mind, this would, if anything, create additional incentives for him to move public markets for his financial benefit to recover some of the money he's lost elsewhere.

> Camden, NJ

People keep brining up Camden, but in that instance, didn't the State Troopers still maintain control of the area during the transition?

From a political perspective, "disbanding" will most likely mean just making existing cops re-apply for their current roles (like how TVA did mass layoffs and rehires in the 90s).

I'm still convinced actual disbanding, without a security force in the interim, will be straight up disastrous.
Your post lacks nuance.

Some news is fake, some isn't.

Some science is fake, some isn't.

Schools are barriers, but for many elements of a school, the fact that it's a barrier is a good thing--we don't want ignorant people performing in roles that where knowledge is required. The problem is that many elements of schools are barriers which are poor at achieving their purpose, or are directly counterproductive to their purpose.

> How do we have productive disagreements going forward?

That's a complicated question, but oversimplifying the opinions of people we disagree with and then labeling it ("cynical anti-intellectualism") isn't the answer.

Hi - this is explained in detail in the article.
Protests almost never have a "consistent, clearly articulated goal," because of the nature of protests. People protest a problem and there are sometimes hundreds of proposed solutions. Unfortunately, certain biased media outlets choose the most extreme offered solutions and highlight them to discredit the entire movement and ignore the problem. And "shifting some city budgets around" is not as easy as it sounds.

That's my prediction: they'll succeed in diverting tax funds from the police into social programs... and then three months later, the police budgets will be back where they started, but we'll be paying for the additional social programs, too. In a year, our taxes will go up, again, to pay for all of this.
i've had similar experiences with other 'older' artists.

I saw BB King a few weeks before he died. He was practically asleep on stage, stooped in a chair, with his backing band doing the hard work. His guitar work was beautiful, of course, but it was sad as a fan to see.

I was at Dick Dale's second to last concert. Similar stuff.

Similar stuff with artists that aren't yet dead or dying, but are 'tired'.

The Rolling Stones are better experienced by watching a good cover band. Same with The Sex Pistols.

It sucks as a fan, but as a human I understand. Can you even imagine living that life style for that many years and that many concerts?

I get burned out thinking about it.
That too happens. But, when the money is from a third party, the risk apetite plummets, usually.
This is only true if they block all non-work discussions. Law explicitly allows union related discussion if other non-work related discussions are allowed.
Yes, I did. Slept at the office during crunchtime, identified myself with a very unhealthy work ethic and got burnt out doing so. Many of my friends have gone through the same thing - I think it's very common if you're a young self taught developer in advertising/startups.
How much money are we talking about? :)
You get lower than market prices but there are some catches: The foreclosure is a long process because they need to wait for the highest bidder, you need to deposit something like 1/3 of the house price, you need to pay some other fees, etc...
This is a common approach used in online courses. I taken both undergrad and grad courses which required it, and it doesn't really help raise the level of discourse. I don't like it for that reason. It comes across as "make work."

it was a blessing because you had more help. Children could work the farm, help hunt, household chores, etc. When you're a subsistence farmer, getting more help is critical to feeding the family.
Now, children can't be brought to the worksite or office, so the blessing is less helpful.
For some people it feels dangerous and scary because they're on the other side

For other people it feels dangerous and scary because rhetoric about "abandoned by the authorities" and "siezed by anarchists" alongside an unofficial militia sounds like the state's monopoly on violence being usurped.
That’s a very simple model of how memory and cpu interact. If you actually end up using hundreds of Gigabytes of memory, there will be implications on cache hit rates, TLB misses, page table sizes and many other things that make me wary about guessing performance in such a case.

There is also the not much discussed issue of having shared resources between all of these threads and the impact of such a threading model on the engineering part if writing such a program. I personally haven’t seen the thread per connection model in a successful large scale server.
If you worked in Microsoft, you would know the H1B employees never came cheap. If you were dreaming of reaching Wall Street salaries in Redmond, then that's a mismatch in expectations. Microsoft was always making software for around the world. If American didn't have H1B program, they would've simply expanded the dev centers in Asia and Europe rather than pay Wall Street salaries in Redmond.
I dunno. I implemented my games'[1] netcode on top of WebRTC and it runs just as well as proper UDP stuff. If you configure it be unreliable and pack everything into small binary commands then it behaves exactly like you'd want for a fast-paced multiplayer game.
Obviously most web games use websockets for networking but it is certainly possible (albeit much more difficult) to have very fast netcode in a browser game.

I think there's something to this. The internet actually giving context to people who think Bill Gates is trying to steal our blood or whatever. They can find a little space on a forum, or a subreddit, or 4chan, or indeed newspaper comment sections and find other people who think the same way, and now they're all reinforcing each other.

And, letters to the newspaper have, for many years, been the province of grumpy retirees and people whose job literally involves writing letters to the editors (activist organizers, PR people, etc.). I'm always faintly bemused when I read the comments in the San Francisco Chronicle, which are near-universally from conservative cranks bemoaning how those big-spendin' liberals are ruinin' everythin' what with their welfare programs supportin' no-gooders and their public transit bringin' in crime why in my youth we had to walk up Telegraph Hill through the snow both ways comin' and goin' and we liked it. I'm pretty sure I could paste in a letter to the editor that appeared in the paper of my youth, the Tampa Tribune in the 1980s, with surprisingly little editing necessary.

Ok in 2015 it was a pain but with Python 3.8 it's actually a only joy & fun in my opinion.

If you could call Python2 code from Python3 or vice-versa as easily as you can do with async then it would be comparable.

I wonder how much WASM would help
Not really your main point but there are quite a few US "metro areas" with fairly sparse layout/wide scope, so I think public transit actually is a harder problem in the US than it is in e.g. Europe. That said even the cities that don't have this excuse tend to have mediocre at best transit here (for example Boston).
The state university I attended here in Texas has started publishing a list of their subscriptions and the costs.

https://library.unt.edu/collection-management/transparency-l...

What's notable is the ones who have tried to put non-disclosure clauses in their subscription contracts. In my opinion a state university should not be allowed, legally, to enter into a contract which is not fully available for public review.
Had to stop reading when the author used the word "techbros"
This is just the book I need!

A little bit of context: I am a product manager and I have been working with data analysts and engineers for a few months, and even though I have tried to do a lot of research, sometimes I still don't understand what they said.

Terms are extremely difficult and varied depending on the site, and it seems like each company will have a different perception for one term.

So that's where this book comes in handy. It helped me visualize the big picture of the whole data analytics landscape. What's more, I understand what the role and challenges of the data analysts and data engineers in my team are. I was able to communicate with them in their "language", especially when I was explaining why we should use ELT instead of ETL (Chap 3, I suppose)

Anw, I think this book is great for non-tech people like me, but it requires certain experience in the tech industry to get started with. Definitely recommend for other PMs who will be working with data people!
There are so many engineering tradeoffs when developing a cutting edge chip. Picking the right ones is very hard; if you have a leader who staffs the project and sets the culture and decision making process in such a way that the right tradeoffs are consistently made, then that is golden.

He has a long track record of doing just that. It's not that he is the only guy on the team; it's that he has a knack for building teams that do this extremely well. And has done it at multiple companies with multiple architectures, with multiple design goals.

More to the point, Bod Dylan has a new record, Murder most Foul. It might be a good album or not, though there's probably no going back to the Dylan of the '60s, or the '60s anyway. In any case, noone's going to find out how good the album is from a NYT article and I don't know why we have to spend so much time reading adverts disguised as thoughtful interviews.
