Lifting 100 millions people out of poverty is totally different from lifting 1 millions people out of poverty. Moving a car involves much more engineering than moving a carpet.

If they haven't done great leap forward and cultural revolution it would be better, that is true. But by "abandoning all communist policies and began liberalizing markets", not all countries see economic success, ukraine, iraq and all recent "liberated" countries, and russian living quality in 90s was even worse than their late 80s.

And ironically enough, the fast developing era of taiwan, south korea, by today's standard, are not under any form of democracy.
On a similar vane of this. It's complex issue, however I have seen incivility here that I would say is mentioned there. (It was on the kernel terminology change)

Someone mentioned about the annoyance of "tiptoing with certain groups on topics"

Someone responded with " by tiptoeing do you mean 'respecting others opinions'"

It's the lack of ability to have civil discord and respecting other's opinions (even if they're stupid or wrong) that I believe has taken over in society and it's showing a harmful effect. I do have a concern over the publications that we read and I do think that Weiss has a good point, even if his/her contributions, aren't 100% stellar.
That's so nice to hear!
Ditto. my personal experience with systemd has been "wow, it's easier than ever to write an init script that runs when it's needed".

Looking at the components that make up a modern UNIX system, it's definitely time to think "how can we make a new operating system, evolved from UNIX, but with a more coherent core running the majority of run time orchestration".

My my, that is brazen!
Are you sure the inclusion of "The Bible" of which there are actually several has nothing to do with your own personal faith? How do you even go about that without dealing with issues of church and state? Whichever holy book you choose at least 50% of constituents will believe you chose the wrong one. If you teach it as history you will be doing a poor job of history without substantially more sources and discussing the inherent unreliability of historical sources.

If you imply that every word isn't the literal truth you will again have at people howling for your blood.

My own forays into Wrongthink have made me the subject of constant bullying by colleagues who disagree with my views. They have called me a Nazi and a racist; I have learned to brush off comments about how I’m “writing about the Jews again.” Several colleagues perceived to be friendly with me were badgered by coworkers. My work and my character are openly demeaned on company-wide Slack channels where masthead editors regularly weigh in. There, some coworkers insist I need to be rooted out if this company is to be a truly “inclusive” one, while others post ax emojis next to my name. Still other New York Times employees publicly smear me as a liar and a bigot on Twitter with no fear that harassing me will be met with appropriate action. They never are.

> There are terms for all of this: unlawful discrimination, hostile work environment, and constructive discharge. I’m no legal expert. But I know that this is wrong

I don't think this is referring to curbing any specific opinion or view, but rather her co-workers' interactions with her.

Its entirely appropriate to speak out against, say, the pervasive denial of climate change among evangelicals. That said if you have an evangelical coworker that doesn't believe in climate change, you will still be met with repercussions if you go around calling said co-worker a backwards dumbass and repeatedly post ax emojis next to their name in slack.
> It costs more to mint them than they're worth.

Isn't this largely irrelevant since the producer of pennies makes up for this when they print any other form of currency?

> But the fact that this country can't even figure out how to stop making a coin that is worthless tells me that it is probably asking a little too much to expect that the federal government can competently manage anything as complex as healthcare or the livelihoods of millions.

The worth of a unit of currency should not be measured by how much it costs to produce. If we're using that metric a $1 note has just as much worth as a $5 note, and a $20 note is equivalent to a $50 note. A single $50 pays for plenty of pennies in terms of cost.

I honestly don't know where I stand on keeping/removing the penny, but I do know from personal experience that counting and saving pennies was useful for me when I was very poor. I know that rounding down saves the consumer money, but putting the savings in a jar and treating yourself to something when you cash in your jar is something of value that is lost.

I don't count pennies these days, but I used to, and I definitely picked up pennies off the street. Should we design economic/currency policy to 'help' the poor instead of actually helping the poor? Probably not, but I wince when I hear people say that pennies are worthless.

> The downside is that your downward speed also increases

You're saying the down component of the velocity vector also increases with the velocity itself. Not that heavier objects fall faster, which we know to be untrue from Galileo's famous experiment. I think you understand that, but I thought I'd clarify it.
The host (hypervisor) can usually dump a guest's (VM's) memory, or tamper with it. This removes that attack vector, whether it's from a rogue Google sysadmin, or from another user who escalated to the hypervisor.

Google probably has root by default via an agent, but you can remove that. Google can probably run single user mode to change your root password, but you can change your bootloader/kernel to forbid that. Google can probably mount your disk images and just read them, but you can use full disk encryption to avoid that.
The advocacy for 100% remote is motivated by the fact that there's the need to stay away from groups for an unknown amount of time. It's not short sighted, it's necessary.
It seems like you've been doing this long enough that you've lost empathy for folks who are getting started. Pretty common for technical folks. OBS is not the most intuitive piece of software. For instance, "Scenes" will be new concept for folks. This was a great guide. Thanks OP for writing it.

> the long-term/permanent damage being caused (lung damage, senses, brain damage)

Do you have any actual evidence for this? I keep hearing people bringing up 'permanent damage' but it's impossible to say something in 'permanent' when this has been around less than 6 months. Lung damage from pneumonia takes 3~4 months to heal (I had pneumonia in University, as well as one of my good friends. It took me out for over a month and he had to drop out for the semester. My lungs did not fully recover for 3 months, but they've been fine in the 20 years since).

Every article I've seen is either vary vague, or it's talking about elderly people in care homes with other existing conditions. The permanent damage narrative feels like straight up fear-mongering.
But they are highly resource constrained and if there is no direct benefit to the consumer, why throw that in?

Tesla is one part car company, one part battery company, and 5 parts marketing hype. The only reason people are seriously contemplating buying full electric cars today instead of the bullshit BMW produced is because Iron Man convinced enough people that electric cars will simultaneously fly to mars and cure world hunger. The stock reflects this.

In other words, there is no Tesla without Elon's meme machine. The graveyard of failed EV startups was chockful of more well meaning participants before Tesla came along. I'd go as far as to argue that the Elon's bullshit was the only thing that could stand up to big oil.
I mostly intended these questions rhetorically, or directed at Bari herself, as opposed to really wanting another HN commenter to go down the line and "respond" to each one. I don't know how productive that is going to be on this forum.

I might be misremembering but I thought her appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast was cited by some as her making a fool of herself while trying to answer an honestly curious question by Joe

She called Tulsi Gabbard an 'Assad toady' with monstrous ideas. The funny part was them looking up the definition of toady (Joe wasn't aware of the meaning of the word), but the more damning part was Bari's defense of that characterization (from memory: she didn't remember any details, but was sure she read it somewhere).

That was almost but not quite as bad as Dave Rubin's appearance, where he explained how building codes are unnecessary as contractors have a vested interest to do a good job due to Yelp reviews...

Rogan invites on plenty of people with whom he's not ideologically aligned and they have civil, intelligent discussions...

While I personally find the podcasts oftentimes entertaining, there's generally a lot of fluff and rarely any hard-hitting debate.
Your ISP could refuse service. This has happened. If you manage to start an ISP people could refuse to peer.
Masking tape it's going to be then. It's interesting how such design choices really highlight the lack of design that happens with most products, consumer, pro, or otherwise. My tv has a red led that is on when the tv is off. Clearly not a single second of actual thought was given to this design. I don't need a light to tell me the screen is off. Almost all appliances with a light are the same way. Designed completely without thought to their practical use and consequences. Now that we know about the negative effects of light, energy saving led bulbs look extremely unattractive. I'm definitely not going to fill my house with them just to save a few bucks and contribute a minuscule and irrelevant reduction in greenhouse gasses. Apple used to be egregious with their lighted Apple logo on the back of its laptops. Talk about unnecessary bothersome light. Sony and their PlayStation controllers with interminable bright blue light is another example. And then there's the thousands of other manufacturers who just copy designs without a single thought to how they might negatively affect the user. On the plus side. Sonos lets me turn off the light on their speakers and it's a very dim white light to begin with but a blessing indeed.

> the loss of that privilege is unsettling

It's more the loss of one's livelihood that is unsettling. Criticism is fine. Campaigning to get people someone fired over petty nonsense is not. All it takes is a few prominent examples - and there have been many - to cow people who disagree into silence.
No, the BLM protests did not cause an uptick in cases. Multiple studies [1] [2] [3] seem to indicate that the coronavirus doesn't spread nearly as well outdoors as it does indoors. In fact, studies have indicated that one of the greatest surge predictors is card-present transactions in restaurants [4].

The reason why we're seeing such a massive uptick in Austin is because of poor state leadership and the fact that we opened too early and with reckless abandon. As the other commentator said, the coronavirus hotspots do not correspond with the protest activities.

I have used systemd successfully in production and have a positive opinion of it. I like that it is integrated, documented, and self consistent.

None of the negative ideological complaints against it resonate with me, as none of them seem to impact me (yet, anyways). My experience with past init systems is that they are cryptic and error prone.
you could track your +labels and reject any unknown ones.

personally i don't worry about spam, i want to track who leaks their users email addresses, and then be able to filter on labels that have gone bad

10x is within striking distance. Search for Autopilot reporting for the evidence. While it is biased towards highway miles, all the safety features augment the human driver. This will only get better with time.

No, her complaint is that there is an orthodoxy at all, instead of openness to debate and willingness to consider divergent opinions.

If you're going to make the case that her stated complaints are made in bad faith, you need to bring some evidence to bear, or you're just indulging in ad hominem name-calling.
> Why are you equating low cost with exploitation?

Probably because low cost always seems to mean low income, low status, long hours, and insecure employment.

The two attack vectors are page table integrity and unencrypted VM state.

Modifying the page tables to establish a cryptographic merkle tree would fix the first attack, and SEV-ES fixes the secrecy attack from the second paper. Unfortunately a change to page table structure may make it impossible to run unmodified kernels in the VM.

I think it as impossible to prevent a hypervisor from fingerprinting what's running on a child VM; there are too many timing and power attacks to ever mitigate that, which was the attack vector on SEV-ES
That makes sense, but is there evidence this is actually happening?

I think for this chain of logic to be true, there would have to be cases of people attempting to convert Tether into USD, and failing. That did happen with Mt Gox, so it’s certainly possible.

Probably significantly cheaper once you factor perks, payroll tax, administrative overhead, etc.
Bear in mind this is for a single violation, not a widespread noncompliance issue. Considering the number of RTBF complaints Google fields (I believe it's north of a million by now), a large number of violations would ratchet up the costs significantly.

This is probably a good example of RTBF working as intended. For as loud as Google was opposing to it, they've done, on average, a reasonably good job complying with it (people who know me should know I do not give Google more credit than they deserve, ever), and penalties like this for individual failures seem reasonable for the impact on the individuals who file them.

RTBF for better or worse places the burden of deciding how to respond to a request on Google, not an independent judiciary. That cuts down a lot of red tape, but I think it also means the appeals process can't be too harsh on the penalty here: The trial court usually isn't penalized for being overturned on appeal.
Aha! Yes!!

The most obvious first step is to form a leadership group to manage coordination. Different people to be in charge of printing/hosting and distribution, payroll, HR, research, etc, etc.
> In a sense, SQL is just not designed to be easy to optimize — it's too broad, and there are too many equivalent-ish ways of doing the same thing. This is why even after incredibly smart people cumulatively spent engineer-millennia on the query execution and optimization systems in SQL databases, we still keep having issues and there are still plenty of areas for improvement.

The main reason is the inherent difficulty of cardinality estimation, as the paper says.

Not every optimization is worth having. There is typically a distributed cost, paid in extra planner cycles for queries that don't benefit from the optimization. This is one of the main reasons why it's hard to contribute new optimizations to the Postgres planner. Naturally, it's possible that a marginal optimization will be incredibly important to one particular query or user. It's a value judgement in each case.

Frankly, I find the suggestion that SQL is not designed to be easy to optimize baffling.
I wonder how many people complaining about Tesla's marketing actually have a Tesla. The car clearly makes you acknowledge that the driver is responsible before using any Autopilot/FSD capability, and if you bought the car with the expectation that it didn't , you have a return period to get your money back in full. It doesn't matter if they said it would take you to the moon and back. If you test drive or buy it and don't like it then just return it: no harm done.
I probably shouldn't have said "evidence" as much as "examples she cited"--specifically colleagues posting axe emojis next to her name and the general public smearing as a bigot (while this is free speech, it's also pretty clearly a 'hostile work environment' and I doubt it would fly if the target were, say, an Asian progressive instead of a Jewish liberal).
In SQL you would most likely be directed to use `WITH RECURSIVE`, which is something we plan to do, but not yet.

It can be a bit gross to use WITH RECURSIVE, because there are often some constraints on the types of queries you can express (e.g. that the recursive body must conclude with a UNION/UNION ALL with some base case). Differential dataflow doesn't have that requirement, but we'll have to sort out whether we'll remove that requirement for Materialize, or impose the traditional constraints. There is a Chesterton's fence moment to have first.

Whether it ends up being "appropriate" or not will be a great thing to determine. I anticipate eating a lot of crow when it turns out to be lots slower than bespoke graph processors. :)

edit: Thanks, btw!

"coalesce into slanderous mobs"

Now, of course "the mob" can get things wrong. We see it all the time — and it's not a progressive or "cancel culture" thing specifically. It's just a side effect of these very rapid and short-burst communication platforms that many people use these days. And I'd frankly argue that the fact that bad information is so easy spread has been used to very harmful effect not by progressives but by people like Donald Trump who require these sorts of misinformation campaigns to stay afloat politically.

Maybe you disagree with that last point.

Regardless, if you dislike hate-filled mobs reacting to bad information, then you have to admit that some sort of content control has to be applied by social media platforms themselves. Or else it will continue to happen.

That said, the other part of this is that it's very easy for a large group of people to be informed of and react against something which they perceive to be harmful. Progressives — even cis white male progressives — have every right to be offended and to express their opinions against something they perceive as harmful. I imagine if you're on the receiving end of this then, yeah, it can feel like a coordinated mob and I have no doubt that it can be downright traumatizing. But that doesn't mean it's wrong or that you've been "cancelled." It is, again, a side effect of how our social media is currently designed and I'll be honest that I don't know what the solution is. But high profile writers with huge megaphones need to be aware that people have the ability to read, share, and react to what they write. And even low-level racism, sexism, etc which they maybe could get away with in the past will now be scrutinized. But that's a good thing, because we as a culture need to be scrutinizing how certain beliefs cause people real harm.
It's possible this is something we live with for the next few years or maybe the rest of our lives with hotspots cropping up in various places every couple years or months. In Asia, masks and temperature checks are pretty much a day-to-day thing, I wouldn't be surprised to see this in the western world too.

Yes indeed! But you mark the key for deletion and there's a minimum time of 7 days before it is deleted and during that time you can't use it. You've got quite a while to realise there's a problem and fix it.
That's interesting but ultimately pointless, the way to look at this is as a signal: don't do this, it will be at least 600K per individual if you do it again. And knowing the way courts work a little bit that second violation is going to generate a lot more attention and a third is likely something that even the Google board would want to know about.
