Most rich people are white and most legacies are rich whites. More rich, more legacies, more donations, more buildings, more grants, more money for the polo team. More opportunites for you to mingle with rich folk, curry favors.

Rich whites were less threatened when they could game the system, but once Asian Americans began to become overly represented per capita academically and Affirmative Action lawsuits on descrimination against Asians began working up the courts... problem solved now.

There’s no outright conspiracy, these people know their position and what’s best for them. They’re probably not bad people but they’re not going to give away what they’ve got.
It is augmented email - there are a lot of features they wrote that break the standard protocol so you would lose a ton of benefit without the app.

Likewise because of that you don't get IMAP credentials so you couldn't even use a different email app to add your hey.com email address to it.
Love this, but please get rid of the pop-up malware. I am on Android and a pop-up appeared saying my OS is out of date and that there were updates to install. I could not dismiss it and it appears to hijack my screen and attempt to redirect me to norton security or something. Not sure if the video player is response for this or what is going on, but it felt very violative.
I can't weigh in from personal experience, but I look at it like a marathon. One set of runners face a first half of the race with mud, crushed glass, vertical climbs, and other obstacles, while other racers had a nice tailwind and extra drink stations.

Regardless of the obstacles faced in the second half (which are still more numerous than the competition's), can't you understand why runners would still look back at that first half to explain their fatigue, anger, and feelings of injustice? Particularly when looking ahead and thinking, "Oh God, this crap /again/??"

The marathon in this example actually spans multiple generations, but even the horrible segregation of the 50's was experienced first hand by the parents of black people still in the workforce today.

Sounds like you came into the race halfway through. As an immigrant you're still facing those unfair obstacles in front of you, but just remember that you don't have the fatigue of carrying the baggage from the first half.
This is going to be a really interesting way to benchmark EBS performance.
@mods can we get this headline changed? as other comments have pointed out, it's pretty misleading.
The weight of a sample of matter depends on its total mass energy, and heat contributes to that total. If matter is cooled, it will weigh less, and vice-versa; if it is heated it will weigh more.

At the kinds of temperatures that normally exist on Earth, the thermal contribution to the total mass energy of a sample of matter is trivial, but in extremely hot conditions, like the first fractions of a second after the big bang, the situation is reversed.
"Generics are useful" was not even remotely a niche view in 2010. That was already 6 years after Java got them, and the lack of generics in Go was a common criticism from day one.
Everybody that talks about rust is talking from a different perspective with different values. What makes rust different from other languages is the breadth of use cases for which rust is a candidate worth mentioning. That's not so much an obsession as it is an availability bias on your part. You're seeing different people talk about rust obsessively in different contexts and assuming that those same people talk about rust in all contexts.

If any of these features is of significant value to a programming use case, it is worth talking about rust:

* Speed

* Type safety

* Memory safety

* Memory determinism

* Latency

* RAII-based resource acquisition and destruction

* Concurrency correctness / safety

* Minimal runtime requirements

* Low level bit manipulation (eg. Cryptography, compression)

* Startup time

* Networking

This isn't exhaustive, but it gives a lot of different people in different domains working on different problems a reason to talk about the same language when comparing to their usual choices.
I don't have much of a Mac experience but Linux distro's nowadays are far, far more "just working" than windows, even and specially on their default setups.

At least that's my personal experience.
People really should know better. It's not that hard to just be polite and avoid assumption. But I think you're doing the right thing by giving the benefit of the doubt. Whatever the reason for their behavior, a helpful and non-judgmental correction is more likely to get them to reevaluate their prejudices and maybe do better next time. As much right as you may have to be indignant it would only make them defensive.
I didn’t say no one is calling for anything. I said they weren’t at the march I attended. I think you’re arguing against a strawman here. Most protesters are not demanding we have zero police.

And yes, you have the freedom to think anything you want.
That is true, but designing a car to be survivable on impact with a strong, immovable object is a different kind of problem than designing it to be survivable in a collision with a moving 3,000 pound vehicle. In the former case, you just have to have enough crush zone to spread out the impact and the weight of your own vehicle doesn't matter much as long as there's cushioning and appropriate safety features (seatbelts and airbags).

In the latter case, if you're a lot lighter than the other car you get knocked around, and if you get squeezed between a heavy car and an immovable object, you get crushed.
It's both, nothing odd here.
But aren't they a dominant power already. Android can have 80% market share but the app store revenue reality is 2:1 in the favour of iOS.[1]

Isn't it anti competitive for a new service like a movie streaming app to be at a competitive disadvantage financially than if Apple decides to launch their own.

Then why do you use it? I'd rather have no generics in Go, maybe you can try Rust?
Zen 2 isn't a dual ported singular 32mb L3, its two distinct 16mb L3s. If you need data from one, but your core is from the other, you have to pay the cost.

Due to Zen 2 monolithic IO dies make this cost far smaller than the Zen/Zen+ design, since it only has to route inside of the IO die, and not use valuable IF<->chiplet lanes.

AMD has soft confirmed that they are rolling with 8 core CCXs, so for desktop Ryzens that are 8 cores or less, it will be a single CCD with a single CCX inside, thus a single L3 domain.

And yes, you are correct: if they turn it into a single, but dual ported, L3, two CCXes in a CCD would also be fine and optimal. However, this seems to be more complex than just making bigger CCXes. Intel has horrifically overcomplex memory controller designs because this is how they typically design things, and AMD wants to avoid repeating that mistake.

> Why do we have to talk about everything bad before we talk about one thing that's bad

You're misunderstanding my point. I'm not saying we have to fix everything at once. I'm saying that the "one thing that's bad" is not racism; racism is just one particular way the root problem manifests itself. The root of the problem is corruption: people in positions of public trust misusing the power they are granted to indulge their personal prejudices, whatever they are, instead of serving the public. Even if you could wave a magic wand and remove all racism from the world forever, that wouldn't fix the corruption problem; corrupt people in power would just find different excuses for violating people's rights. You have to fix the corruption.

And you won't fix corruption by focusing on one particular prejudice that the corrupt people happen to have, even if historically it has been the most common one (which, btw, I'm not sure is actually true--I think religious prejudice is at least as common historically if not more so--but I'm willing to assume it is for the sake of this discussion). The problem is not the particular prejudice the corrupt people have; the problem is that corrupt people are in power in the first place.
I feel obsessing over types is often just a form of procrastination, as it feels more interesting than the real work that needs to be done. This seems to be a bigger issue in Rust because the type system is powerful.

I write a lot of Rust nowadays, so I often need to keep myself in check and make sure I'm not getting sidetracked. When I'm writing internal code, the priority is to just get it done but still avoiding shortcuts. This is mainly avoiding .unwrap() / .clone() / taking care to handle Result correctly, as well as regularly running clippy to pick up the obviously silly stuff.

I find the most painful part of this strategy is when you want to revisit completed code to reduce copying as that generally requires a lot of type changes. At least when you get to this point though and haven't taken shortcuts, you've got functioning software and it should be fairly fault tolerant.
This story reminds me of the British space programme which Tony Benn cancelled because he couldn’t see the point of it.

...that was just before people started launching communications satellites.
It is true that now you can charge different prices on and off platform (and I believe Spotify was doing this at one point). But you still can't have your app link to or mention the option to do purchases outside the app.
Watch out, this can be a even bigger trap. Most of the times your issues are not external, but internal, and doing that will only add to the stress since you lose security and your support network.

From experience, I suffered what a lot here describe. Used to be a lawyer, hated it, and the procrastination bled from work to my personal life. I basically stopped living for 3-4 years because I couldn't do anything. Outside of work and basic life necessities, I'd just watch Netflix, play videogames and drink

I thought quitting and moving was the answer. So I did. I found the strength to save money and study coding. After 2 years, moved to another country and am now graduating from CS and just got promoted to intermediate developer.

While life seems better because I've accomplished things, I noticed I still have the exact same feelings as soon as I stop working. I love my work now. I have a nice salary. The problem is that my issues are with me, and no external factor.

I used to blame those feelings on a boring bog, a lack of money (since I used to spend all my nice salary on bad things), a violent country... I eliminated all that, but it didn't work.

So, just a warn here. If the issue is internal, no amount of turning your external life around will change your internal feelings and problems. Work on that instead.
This is a textbook display of normalization of deviance!

Is that really true? What do you think will happen if we put it up for a vote? Something like: defund police - yes/no?
The was quite literally no alternative to Microsoft in many scenarios, and windows enjoyed a >95% marketshare. You simply couldn't run a business if you weren't running Windows.

iOS has <15% marketshare, and millions of people transition back and forth across platforms regularly. I was on Android, now I'm on iOS, and tomorrow I could be on Android if there was a compelling case.

Apple is abusive, and needs to be reigned in, but comparing iOS to the late-90s Windows situation betrays a misunderstanding of the situation in the 90s.
That’s what most minorities feel like most of time lol. Imagine being a Latino guy in a school that majority white.
Yes, I'm familiar with the massacre. As horrific as it was, these weren't cases of ethnic cleansing. There was no intent to remove Germans from the face of the Earth, like Generalplan Ost was in regards to Slavs.

We know this. How? Because the Nazis stated they wanted Slavs killed, but when the Soviets took over East Germany, they didn't wipe out all Germans (as they would have done, had they been bent on racial genocide as the Nazis were).

This is the one example were we can clearly compare plans and see outcomes, and how they differed. Even the scales are orders or magnitude different!

> They are a monopoly, and this is unjust.

Over what market does Apple have a monopoly?
You can’t use the iOS Mail app, there’s no POP/IMAP support. You have to use their proprietary app.
So apple's reasoning is that this exemption only applies to 'business' or 'reader' apps. Would Basecamp/Hey's solution be to remarket Hey as a business offering? I imagine most people who pay for a premium email are using it for work.

That argument is going to be a winning one. Apple achieved market dominance by charging three times as much for the same product - those bastards. It’s not Apple’s fault that the entire Android ecosystem is a commoditized race to the bottom.

Thanks, I'm interested in all these ideas. I'm working on figuring out a marketing channel at the moment, and then once Findka is growing consistently I'd like to focus primarily on recommendation quality and experimenting with ideas like these. (If things are going really well, hopefully I can hire a couple people to continue working on marketing/UX etc while I work on the algorithm).
Both are great choices for networking, concurrency, latency, and throughout-oriented use cases. Networked applications, databases, streaming, caches, etc.
Solid advice. I always lookup people on LinkedIn before meeting them for the first time, so I usually don’t even have to ask.

The police department wasn't dismantled. Camden's police department very much still exists: https://camdencountypd.org/

Restaffing he police is a vastly different measure than dismantling the police or abolishing the police, which is what many activists are pushing for.

Furthemore, the idea that this was an instance of dismantling the police to reduce police abuses doesn't seem to hold up to scrutiny [1]:

> With the city under duress, over the objection of Camden community members, local officials partnered with Christie to enact a plan to disband the city’s police force and replace it with a regional county force. The goal was to dissolve the local police union, which would allow for a cheaper force that would enable more policing, not less.

> The new force embraced broken windows policing. In the first year of the new force, summonses for disorderly conduct shot up 43 percent. Summonses for not maintaining lights or reflectors on vehicles spiked 421 percent. Summonses for tinted car windows similarly increased 381 percent. And farcically, summonses for riding a bicycle without a bell or a light rose from three to 339. It was straight out of the Giuliani handbook.

> Unsurprisingly, these moves provoked tensions between the community and the police producing a parallel rise in excessive-force complaints. These tensions were still bubbling in 2014 when a particularly harsh and disturbing arrest was caught on video with officers using violent techniques similar to the ones that killed George Floyd in Wisconsin. When pressed about the incident, Camden County Public Affairs Director Dan Keashen said that an investigation showed it to be “a good arrest.”

I am both excited and also terrified that this future is upon us.

The progress Boston Dynamics have made here over the last couple of years has been incredible to see.

But also, armies of these things could do quite some damage in the wrong hands. And more realistically in the near term, this can only accelerate automation and the inevitable trend of robots replacing humans at work.

My HS didn't have programming classes either (although they were added the year after I graduated) and that that was I the 2010s. I took a networking course that would have yielded certs, but they decided to scrap that path when I was a senior.

I believe the focus on the expired laws is based on the assertion the effects of those laws are entrenched in their communities still. In SF, historical redlining is still obvious despite some gentrification in much of the southeast and the area around Van Ness north of Market. In these areas, things like smaller (cheaper) units, poorer infrastructure, and less business development perpetuate the segregation brought about in the years of redlining. Social norms further set up expectations about who should be living in certain areas, see the recent incident over a white woman challenging a black man's home ownership in Pacific Heights (rich, white neighborhood).
I've been following the tweets about hey.com from their founder for some time. The text about how they bought the domain is beautiful. I understand the proposal they offer about the service, and the reason for charging for a service that nobody has paid for a long time. It even seems obvious to me this trend of new opportunities to pay for email services. A trend, that this time, appears to be here to stay.

But it is a product that have a very aggressive marketing strategy. Arrogant.

The only thing I read from this episode is: The product is like this, the billing service is like that. We won't change anything and if you don't like it, you're wrong. Unfortunately, there is no chance that I will ever use this product. The price is stratospheric for me and probably for 98% of those who use gmail. Prontonmail, for example, offers several options, including a free one.

Well, apple also offers a service. What they are asking is for them to make a concession. But they don't seem willing to concede anything to that negotiation.

I imagine that this could be circumvented with other exclusive plans to subscribe using apple pay, or a free and very reduced version. It doesn't seem like a radical position from apple, which was the impression I got from reading the tweets alone.
Okay. Now, where are the details about her religious life? What did she believe in and care about? It was obviously very important to her, to the extent that she made serious monastic vows. When a movie actor is a life-long alcoholic, we happily include that in the biography; but when we are speaking about Catholic sisters, we whitewash it away from their lives? Pretty disappointing considering that the headline is "[she] was a nun".

Based on that statement alone I think I can accurately conclude you are not an indigenous Australian (aboriginal).

if you had actually been using it during the last 1.5/2 years you would know it work.

otherwise you're just talking about stuff (zfs on gnu/linux) you know little about.

if you use zfs on freebsd then good for you, but that doesn't mean you can spread disinformation about zfs-on-linux.

btw: freebsd dropped its own implementation of zfs and is rebasing onto zfs-on-linux (from 2018: https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-fs/2018-December...). that's how good zfs-on-linux is.

There's an enormous amount of stuff available via sysctl(). It is essentially a huge, hierarchically extensible, system call API that passes (usually, but not always) machine-readable data to programs. The sysctl(3) manual page has a lot of stuff, but it doesn't cover anywhere near everything.

All of the transmit/receive statistics for the second Ethernet interface on one of my machines are various numeric values under dev.bge.1.stats , for example.

The machine-readable process table record structure is given as a C language structure, struct kinfo_proc, in the <sys/user.h> header.
