That discounts intent: Facebook's intent is for better or for worse to sell a bunch ads and make profits. That Cambridge Analytica was able to exploit Facebook's social graph for political ends is not conducive to the company's mission.

Presumably the GP is implying that TikTok would be working even closer with groups like CA, to the point with partnering with them instead of kicking them off the platform as Facebook did.
Yes yes and yes. I have a box of cheap self adhesive dots for the purpose. They're so cheap that the average blue light bleeds through them slightly, so anything I actually do want to have an indicator I use one for, everything else gets two.

I always assumed those Apple logos were just using the screen backlight rather than utilising an additional LED just for the logo.

Well, just spit balling, but you should see it in team velocity. The effort you're spending coaching should show up in the output of your team members.

Assuming there's some kind of constant ongoing engagement with one person or group, I'd expect an immediate dip in velocity as your productivity goes elsewhere, then it growing, and maybe evening out to before-engagement numbers (approximately), as they reap the benefits of learning from a senior engineer. Then, as you're able to return to normal duties and they're able to apply the lessons, you should see velocity greater than before the engagement. That delta should be somewhat quantifiable and, ignoring other variables, should represent the benefits of coaching.

There's also huge value in the increased job satisfaction for both mentor who enjoys mentoring, and a mentee who is learning. That should show up in any kind of employee satisfaction survey, or retention numbers.

This would only make a difference if someone was willing to maintain the non-k8s fork. From what I understand, nobody was willing to take that on, so the k8s version became the only version by default.
I agree completely. Just the way the market is going proves that this society is built on a foundation of pure instant gratification to such a level that they can't even understand the realities of a pandemic. We're FUCKED at this point, and the people who should know what to do are drinking the fucking koolaid. I'm just done with anti-intellectualism altogether.
US has their own camp too, not as bad as Uighur camps perhaps, but on a big scale: the Gaza Strip. It's status has been maintained through US's UN security council veto power for decades.

On a much smaller scale, we're still running Guantanamo.

This is extremely dangerous to our democracy. Literally.
It's a big jump to go from "this protocol is more complicated than the previous one" to "cut out future generations from system programming". It's not _that much_ more complicated that a competent programmer who's familiar with sockets and bytes can't ever accomplish it.

As discussed at length in another sub-thread here, the complexity solves real problems, it's not for its own sake. But if you're not convinced of that, nothing I say here is going to change that.

·

If you've worked with me, you'd know that I take simplicity as a virtue to an extent that's almost detrimental to getting stuff done. I despise complexity for its own sake. I wish as much as anyone that we could start over and redesign IP, TCP, TLS, HTTP, HTML, JS, and a few more things, with all our accumulated knowledge, into a simple and clean application and content distribution system that's easy to understand and observe. But path dependence :( We have to work with what we've got.

It's the picking out of HTTP 1.1 as some sort of golden age of clean and simple and observable that bothers me. It isn't.
The Y2038 Problem
Yep - YikYak did let you do this after a while, but if you check the subreddit for YikYak they rolled this change out along with a feature that meant you had to give or an email or phone number IIRC. Huge backlash and people stopped using it.

I tried to solve this in Ottr but letting a "Explore". They could open a map, drop a pin and that would be their new location. If they posted while "Exploring" their post would be marked as such.
Mostly 3. (or more charitably they hoped the covid emergency would be winding down by now)

Here, ICE attempted to rollback the current emergency rule and put in place a new rule that was broader and more flexible than the pre-covid-19 rule. They have pulled that back now.

But, as soon as the Covid-19 national emergency order expires, the current emergency rule can be easily reverted to the stricter pre-covid-19 rule if that's what the Admin wants. Otherwise, a new rule (following administrative law rule-making requirements) can be made to implement the broader/flexible policy ICE was seeking here.

edit-to-add: Trump could probably issue an Executive Order directing ICE to change its rules.
Exactly. He said this in 2014. 2016. 2018. Even at the end of 2019:

Meanwhile Teslas are still having a multitude of autopilot accidents that, had a human been paying attention (their fault, I understand), would not have happened - plowing at speed into fire engines with emergency lighting on, plowing into overturned semi trailers blocking multiple freeway lanes, aiming at barriers.
I’m sure there is some hyperbole in your comment - no part of it is even faintly surprising I don’t think. The idea of an American soldier being prosecuted by that court just seems so far fetched.
The wiki is worth a read, and some of the US concerns certainly make you think, however the opposition overall is rather lame.

Great insight, thanks for sharing. I believe your example is a good one. I'm still a believer that someone in your position should have a solid understanding of the architecture of your system, and likely experience with at least a part of it. That doesn't mean you need to be an expert in every domain, obviously, as that would be impossible.

You have to read to paragraph #17 before you get the information the story is really about.

Uber delivered shares to its employees on the day of its IPO in May 2019, meaning employees would be taxed at the price of $45 a share. But the employees were restricted from selling their shares for six months, by which point the price had fallen to around $27 a share.

This definitely sucks for the employees. But it isn't really clear that Uber did anything wrong. In cases where there's an IPO pop, and employees want to hold on to the stock for a while, this can be good for employees, because more of their income happens via capital gains.

To me, the real lesson is that our tax code is stupid, because it treats "a share of stock that you are given on day X, but may not sell until day X+180" and "a share of stock that you are given on day X+180" in different ways, even though they seem exactly the same to the employee.
Likewise. I've decided to give it a few years, perhaps by then I'll have made peace with it. At this point though, I get that same odd feeling... how can these be legal?

I can't even pinpoint what it is that irritates me about them, but I'm assuming it's just them being a complete deviation from what has been the norm for so long fucking with me.

Perhaps the worst bit is where he dismisses the testimony of thousands of Cambodian refugees as 'refugees questioned by Westerners or Thais have a vested interest in reporting atrocities on the part of Cambodian revolutionaries', arguing one should put more weight to the testimony of an anonymous European in Phnom Penh who apparently did enough cycling around to know that the only people being executed were 'prominent politicans' and 'hated bomber pilots'.

Meta: Chomsky certainly wasn't the loudest or most committed defender of the Khmer Rouge on the Western left and obviously the left didn't make US policy and probably wouldn't have influenced it much if they'd been united on the evils of the Khmer Rouge from the very beginning. But this article and his continued insistence it was reasonable at the time [whilst others have admitted to being blinded by their biases] doesn't reflect well on him.

Does that count as a genocide at all, let alone a worse genocide than Milosevic's Bosnian genocide?
Curiously, what is your point here? I'm sure you understood the authors message, so i imagine your reply is cheeky in some manner. I imagine your reply pokes fun at the idea of those being important.

However.. i just don't get that. I imagine several billion people can disagree about many "important" things. Does that dismiss the importance of those items? How many millions of people live below basic human means? Should those basic means be considered unnecessary?

I imagine if i lived in the woods in the middle of no where i might scoff at the idea of electricity. That doesn't invalidate peoples dependence on electricity. Which, is what is what i take from your comment. Sure, Youtube vs Electricity, not quite a fair comparison - i get that. Nevertheless your comment strikes off the mark for me, but perhaps i don't get your intent.

> The point was at least some of request was invalid by the law in Belgium.

From what little information was provided in the article, it sounded like Google maintained that these search results were exempt from the law, because they were political in nature, so they stood their ground.

However the DPA determined that these results were NOT exempt, due to the particular facts of the case (the results were "irrelevant and outdated"). So, keeping them up did not serve the public good (which, I resume, is the justification for these exemptions).

To me, it sounds like Google chose the wrong test case to stand their ground on. I appreciate them taking a stand on keeping information available if it is important.

But, crucially, Google claiming the request was invalid does not make it invalid; that's for the DPA to decide.
Thank you for this; lots of details, references and detailed diagrams!

One small note - the first image you mention that we'll need to reference is a bit small to read. Zooming in on the page does not zoom it in due to format of the page. I had to right click -> View image, in a separate tab in order to be able to zoom in enough to read the righthand side of it.

Lawsuit at https://uberrsuclaims.gallo.law
Just Trump playing to his base and international students were the unfortunate pawns. Doesn't take a political expert to see that Trump's mishandling of the COVID crisis has put him in dire political straits. He needs to manufacture wins, or look like he's winning in order to stand some chance of reelection. This isn't the first or last time he's implemented some obvious unconstitutional policy only to withdraw it because he already got the soundbyte he was looking for (remember the travel country ban?). He ran on a populist nativist platform and has gotten very little accomplished so he's going to try everything he can in order to look like he's "really trying but those libruls are the problem".

You know, despite the issue being is fundamental lack of understanding of the constitution and the presidency.
Single turnip is ridiculous sure but that is hardly the average sub 5 $ purchase. I have seen people check out with single pieces of fruit or like a gallon of milk regularly. Plus, in my state, you could easily get a single deli item for lunch or breakfast for ~5$ or under. Basket size (which is the term groceries use for the average purchase total) is about 50$ although it has gone up in covid19 times. That is the mean though- there is a ton of ~5$ and sub purchases

I just wanted to thank Jordan Lewis for putting this article together. It gave me enough clues on how to implement the "whiteboard"/telestrator feature I've been trying to casually implement over the past 6-9 months. Even though I have 1,300+ hours streamed on Twitch, this still slipped through my grasp on how to get it implemented for some reason.

I was originally trying to implement this functionality by using NDI, but there were a few issues I ran into, namely resolution and framerate, neither of which I was happy about. Something about this article tipped me off to look up using USB to connect the iPad to the PC, which actually led me to setting up the streaming PC as an AirPlay receiver. After I made the switch over to using AirPlay, I had the whiteboard/telestrator functionality working on my OBS setup within 10 minutes.

Not really. He made these comments when the genocide had become common knowledge, and the facts had been accepted by anyone conversant with the situation in the region. His continuing denial was based on the flimsiest scraps of evidence, and people were generally dumbfounded by his obtuseness in this matter. When you deny a genocide, it’s not merely a difference of opinion, it has a moral dimension, as when people deny the holocaust.
The Chinese National Intelligence Law applies to any and every company operating in China right now, including Apple, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft, IBM, etc., not just TikTok.

Ironically enough, Google is one of the few major tech companies that can't be compelled to hand over information to China.

I was wondering awhile ago to what extent the famous saying "the medium is the message" applies here. It's famously easy to misread the intent of text, to see hostility when there is none (and so smiley faces and emojis came into being), it's probably harder to be mean over photos than text (especially a photo of yourself...), and even harder over video.
> Are you Muslim? When you, or your hypothetical strawman comic make fun of them, are you punching up or down?

I'm not sure why this matters at all. In fact, it's just another red herring, as you provide no counter-arguments. I think that the case for free speech (my God, especially in comedy) is pretty strong, whether you're a Muslim comic making fun of Muslims or an Asian comic making fun of Muslims.

This isn't a strawman, this is the entire argument: is it okay to make fun of people? I contend that it is.
A major problem that leads to dysfunctional bloat is the inherent ego traps of software developed by teams of well-adjusted people.

Even if it's for the good of the quality of a product, it is not often easy telling your team mate that they wrote an unnecessary component that should just be deleted. I have done it lots in my short career (and in terms of engineering outcomes, it's been spectacular), but it's easier for me I think, since I'm more disagreeable than the average person.

This deal was signed in May 2019, before the questions about Chinese control over TikTok had really come to the forefront. There's a decent chance that it's simply about Google giving TikTok a better deal, or other infrastructural features like global availability.

How is it abuse? These resources have no marginal cost to produce and their creators generally want as much use as possible (think pre-prints, open access course material, ...). However, less well researched individuals (commonly found in poorer areas) are simply not aware of these resources.

If a data scientist at Google uses R instead of SAS (or some other proprietary statistical computing language) while a data scientist at a non-profit is forced to use SAS because of organizational constraints there is no abuse.
I've seen that abused all the way to management, where meaningless new features are prioritized ahead of bugs

The previous owner of my house planted a few blueberry bushes (not the lowbush wild ones of Maine that should be burned/pruned after every year of fruiting). I’ve always thought of blueberries as inferior to strawberries and raspberries, but now I wonder why so few people have blueberry bushes! Picked ripe and eaten fresh, they’re delicious. A little care when planting, mulch and peat moss in the spring, regular watering, and you’ve got blueberries to enjoy every morning for a couple weeks in summer.

Nope, that's not profit. That's positive cash-flow. They are investing heavily into developing FSD.

I'm doubtful whether that racket will pay off. I guess they will have to pay more and more back to disillusioned buyers. It certainly hasn't turned into profit yet and rather looks like a massive risk.
> my point is the original claim of "journalism is not our fact gathering process" is just wrong.

Allow me to reword; facts are necessary but not at all sufficient to constitute journalism, nor journalism can claim monopoly on fact gathering. E.g. we have other, more formal, fact gathering processes such as science or court of law, which cannot be substituted with journalism, damages of which we see to the extent it tries to.

The firehose of twitter, youtube etc feeds already give us facts to talk about, argue about, rage about, call for more information about. And we are not in better shape for it. We cannot sufficiently convert those facts into sense. Nor those facts are always the ones we should be interested in.

That's why it's critical not to reduce journalism to fact gathering.

American/Western leftists supported and celebrated the Khmer Rouge revolution. In 1975, President Ford tried to resist the de-funding of anti-Khmer Rouge pro-American regime but the Democratic controlled congress stripped every nickel of US support.
