The 1992 LA riots were more than a year after the Rodney King beating. The event that precipitated the riots was the acquittal of the officers who were caught on tape.

Being fired and charged is not being "brought to justice". It's just the first step, and there's a history of the system failing to follow through with trial, conviction, and fair sentencing.

My mistake- Seagate's Minnesota factory doesn't do platters.
Just curious, what metrics?
Would Tesla or SpaceX be what they are if not for the extreme reputational risk of saying "we're going to do X"?

Maybe. But it's hard not to see the parallel between massive risks taken and massive progress made.
So true, caring is difficult but it can be extremely worth it in the long run.
There is a bit of difference between 48 and 44.1 tracks, and it is a bit deeper than expected.

44.1 tracks tend to be "normalized" at the highest portion of the spectrum trying to squeeze the juice right at the studio.

Tracks mastered for 48+ kHz are usually more relaxed in this regard, they just let the sound flow.

Both sound exceptionally well, but tracks with higher sample rate sound a bit more natural, a bit softer if you prefer. Higher sample rate tends to add a pleasant edge to some kinds of music: live performances, jazz, minimal techno.

If you happen to live in a part of the world where crickets are active in the summer then take a closer look. Their audio spectrum goes way beyond 20 kHz and if you try to listen carefully then you may spot the point where it goes beyond 20 kHz limit.

Not everybody is physically capable to experience this. Personally I can hear a bit of those frequencies, so it's amusing to realize that a little bug can be such a masterful audio source. Nature is beautiful. And this beauty is a selling point when it comes to music.
It’s crazy that Intel owned the best ARM design 15-20 years ago (Xscale) yet sold it a year before the iPhone shipped. Intel actually turned Apple away when they wanted an ARM SoC.

Both Intel and Microsoft made some kind of categorical error in 1995-2005 in assuming that their dominance was tied to a particular programming interface. Intel clung to the x86 instruction set while Microsoft operated on a “Windows everywhere” mindset, first pushing Win32 and then .Net.

Wintel seems finally dead, and good riddance.

If you have not heard about GlobalFoundries, they're the folks that manufacture the semiconductors for AMD, Broadcom and Qualcomm, among others.
>How many seconds will it take you to replace “master” with “primary”?

It'll take more time than I care to spend on a matter that doesn't have any effect on anything. Unless someone wants to go update all of the servers and all of their documentation for free on our behalf, then fine, sure, have at it.

>that usage doesn’t recall brutality in recent history

This reeks of Americentrism. How is slavery "recent history"? Are we talking about world history or American history?

>Masters not only didn’t usually do the same work as their slaves but the relationship was defined by the violence and permanence

And viruses (the real world ones) are usually not crafted by criminals, yet we call them viruses since the basic premise of the two concepts is similar enough. A mouse has fuck-all to do with a mouse yet we call it that since they have a somewhat similar shape. Now that the wireless mouse is commonplace, this naming is just completely inaccurate and yet it doesn't matter since we can separate the etymology from the meaning.

>try to think about why you’re so attached to using “slave” instead of “workers”

So if I just call a server that has to obey its superior to the T or it's broken a "worker", everything is fine and dandy? That kinda seems like brushing away the issue.

>how that would call your motives into question.

Maybe my motive is that I'm enjoying the status quo (as humans tend to do) and I don't exactly want to start doing all of this renaming just because Americans are upset at it. Or maybe I'm just a massive BDSM fan.

>Using terms like primary/replica (where both do the same work) or controller/worker (where they don’t) both more accurately expresses the nature of the relation and don’t drag in unpleasant connotations.

Killing also has a negative connotation but I don't really feel like I need to spare my processes from this cruel, unpleasant and inaccurate word.

Yeah, and I didn't steal that guy's car, I just borrowed it indefinitely without his permission. It's a totally different thing, officer!
That's so so many steps and requires knowledge of so many things. It has the big two fundamental problems, and a major third one:

* Its value prop is poorly explained. As an engineer with a CS degree, I still barely understand what it's talking about (what's an "identity attribute"??) without some digging.

* Even if the value prop was well-explained, it's still very high friction compared to "Sign in with <Service I Already Use>". Why would a user download an installer and deal with managing all of their accounts? There's a secure, anonymous, easy, centralized option that does it all for you (Sign in with Apple). That service does it so well that you only have to click a button to log in or sign up. Nothing else required. That isn't achievable without a central authority managing everything for you.

* (this is the big one) Your local machine is a major point of failure. If you lose your local machine and haven't backed up your accounts, you just lose access, right? The only solution is either set up a server with periodic backup (too much friction for regular users) or a centralized authority that stores them for you, which defeats the purpose of all of this.

This project, to me, falls into the "cool technical stuff category". It's obviously built for "geeks" (lack of a better term) and not for people. That's why centralized tech co's will probably always do this better than open source. They are customer focused just as much as technology focused.

Unmonetized open source projects tend to focus more on technology than user experience. That's why you see regular people using monetized software and developers using open source to build monetized software.
How many other companies are competitive with Intel using ARM based designs specialized for their own needs? I know Amazon is doing some amazing things around ARM for their own data centers - both selling access to ARM based servers and using custom chips for networking hardware.

Isn’t Google also designing custom ARM chips for machine learning and their data centers?
I highly highly doubt that all 100,000 workers are striking. The article mentions that workers will strike and that it's being organized by Gig Workers Collective but I haven't ever found anyone indicating how many people actually participated in these strikes (Instacart workers recently did one)

Can someone with perspective on this explain to me how a percent commission model makes any kind of sense vs evaluating actual labor effort for a courier service with fewer guarantees? Delivering 100 pounds of potatoes is _way_ more difficult than delivering a tiny diamond ring.
That depends on the programmer. Personally, I will choose rust ovet go almost every time, because I think it has a better type system, and is in many (but not all) ways more ergonomic. And that is more important to me than compile time, although I concede that other programmers (especially those with more experience with interpreted languages) prioritize compile time I over other language aspects. Besides which, my experience has been that when incrementally compiling during development, go compilation isn't actually that much faster.
I just said there is discrimination in the hiring world, where women and blacks are now objectively preferred by hq departments. This discrimination is backed by law. You may argue that this is fine because you think it's a good thing, but they're still discriminated against by the very definition of the word.
Your reasoning is broken.

Human miles include all conditions/situations. Autopilot disengages whenever it is convenient and human handles all harder situations.

How about comparing same type of miles?
Surely public education is a social good.. Why should there be no right to an education? To measure people by their production output seems disjoint from reality imo.

A better solution to me would just be to provide an option for school to shift one semester forward, or maybe split up this semester over winter and summer, etc. But guaranteeing public education as a right is something that I'll strongly defend.
>Most people don't have such inescapable power underlying their threats. The government is a good deal more fearsome than most individuals who aren't directly threatening murder in the traditional sense.

The government isn't a singular person. A prosecutor does not have "inescapable power underlying their threats". They are a single person in a system. There are numerous other people involved in the system that have roles that serve to rein in prosecutors if Aaron allowed the process to fully play out.

>It's a bit disingenuous to call it a threat of 6 months in jail. That was a plea bargain offer with other strings attached, that came after Swartz was threatened with up to 35 years and then more charges were added bringing the potential up to 50 years. By the time the 6 month offer was made, Swartz had already been subject to more abuse and harassment than his actions could have ever justified. He was deep into a Kafkaesque nightmare before the prosecution offered the first shreds of mercy.

No one reasonably expected him to spend 35-50 years in jail so citing that as a potential outcome is much more disingenuous than saying he might serve 6 months. Sure, there are strings attached to plea deals, but it is a simple fact that he had the option to serve that 6 months and end any further threat of jail. He instead chose death. That decision was caused by his mental illness and not any person who might have wronged him.
Slightly - and that's an interesting article to be sure. The difference between that article and the Hamilton or "you don't know enough about Moloch" examples is that the article shows conditional assistance to a problem, where the two above examples have no quid pro quo. Hamilton sheds some light on something, and someone was inaccurate in a literary analysis.

I think people like to see the poor helped unconditionally, or with conditions that help them. In the PETA example, it seems to outsiders that a political agenda is being forced on them. PETA may counter they are improving lives by showing the benefits of veganism.

In the wifi example, it looks like exploitation of the desperate, though it isn't any more debasing than swinging a sign around for a furniture store.

And in the Uber example, that just looks shitty because they're a hugely wealthy company... though I don't know how much of the surge pricing goes to the driver.
Uh, you know that Apple makes iOS too, right?
Yeah it dawned on me the moment I hit sent... That this is probably something like ASP.NET for C++. Probably some people still need that :). Legit use case, just I think they need to work a lot on their messaging.
> That doesn't mean Tesla is entitled to follow a similar path just because legacy automakers have.

Isn't it sorta weird that companies other than tesla are called "legacy"? I know that term is almost uniquely bad within software, but considering the site I'd think they know what connotation it carries for many people.
Understood, just mentioned it in this context. Actually I find the honest "our codebase sucks" attitude a good sign for a proj FWIW.
Good. Let the possibility inspire. We can then hold off on the next Mars rovers until we have appropriate space telescopes in place.
If you’re curious about CO2, there are a number of home CO2 monitors available these days. It was really enlightening to me to see the levels rise well above optimal within just a few hours of sleeping with the room sealed.
The parent only claimed it was arbitrary in the meaningful sense that they had not committed any crimes. So yes, their detention is indeed arbitrary.

Of course, the CCP is going to pick high-profile targets and not some random tourists. Thus, who they chose was (of course!) not arbitrary.

Since you're intent on splitting hairs, lets' say "they arbitrarily detained two people who were specifically targeted for maximum effect". Is that better?

>were clearly not arbitrarily picked, it's a little disingenuous to claim that they were.

Being pedantic with the parent posters words when their intent was plainly clear is even more disingenuous and does not contribute anything to the discussion. If you've got evidence they were detained for just cause, rather that innuendo then lets hear it.

I find it very curious that you're inclined to give the CCP the benefit of the doubt given their track record and the details of this incident. Specifically, see paragraph 5 of this article where a Chinese representative is directly quoted linking the fate to the two Canadians to the case of Meng.

Windows has and will run on x86/ARM
Linux has and will run on x86/ARM
MacOS has run on x86, and will run on ARM.

People have a choice with the first two, not the third. This is why Apple going forward with this is a big deal.
There are copious news reports from the time that state the charges filed against him carried those maximum penalties. It happened.

The prosecutors did eventually state that they would not seek maximum penalties, but that's not a guarantee, and it's not something that was communicated at the time the charges were initially brought against him.
That sort of thing seems to happen a lot more at Google than it does at other big tech companies.

Frankly I don't believe that an explicit ethos of internal competition is really what drives it. That might be how people at the top explain it, but it's really driven from the bottom up by dev teams who want to launch something in order to get promoted.
Your email input box might need some tweaks. I entered my email and had a space after it ( i actually used a text expander to quickly input it resulting in the extra space), it showed "Invalid Email"

It's unfortunate that the terrifying implications of the Earn It act don't translate well outside of tech circles.

It's of course worthy of much more coverage than it's getting, cheers to Mozilla for furthering the conversation.

Hybrid Remote Work Offers the Worst of Both Worlds
My ancestors where slaves to the families who owned the land they lived on. We moved on. In fact, it's not unlikely your own ancestors where de-facto slaves as well. You can now decide to wallow in self pity or be above it and move on with your life.
Sadly nothing new in the auto industry. If it's not for the sake of the financials, it's often done in the name of brand image or to avoid a larger recall.

Are there any 'gig'-type jobs that don't rely on the worker having a car? That's the math that most people don't seem to factor, that once you include wear-and-tear, gas, and sometimes insurance, you're probably, at best, at minimum wage. Those clever tech companies providing these 'gig' jobs, seem to be relying on workers not making these calculations.
Hmm. I didn't know this and it's a very helpful to me. This means that a private entity could create a mild solution and solve this overnight. Especially since there are multiple organisms eating plastics currently and researchers have created a few breakthroughs.

Lemon laws are not a very specific thing, they are wildly different between states. Not all lemon laws require disclosure, but some states require disclosure even if a lemon claim isn't actually filed but the car meets the criteria: https://www.lemberglaw.com/lemon-law/rights/lemon-laundering...
You can also try databases that are natively distributed with replication and scaling built-in. If you need SQL you have many "newSQL" choices like CockroachDB, Yugabyte, Vitess, TiDB, and others.

>Some benchmarks if we need them:

>https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i7-8565u

>https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/2898525

My original question: "but has this claim been backed up by benchmarks that's not geekbench?"

>Now if you do any video processing on the ipad, it'll chunk through 4k like my Ryzen 3700X does if it's HEVC and barely even get warm, but that's the T2 ASIC in it.

>ARM + ASICs for other functions (ML/security/codec) run rings around any general x86 CPU on performance per watt for sure.

Comparing hardware accelerated HEVC performance to software cpu performance isn't fair and is shifting the goalposts. If you're going by that logic you can also say that a snapdragon 865 (hardware rendering) has "considerably more grunt" a 64 core threadripper (software rendering). While we're at it, we can also compare A12 to intel/amd in other aspects, such as memory support, floating point performance, and sustained performance, all of which I'm confident A12 wouldn't do well in.

>Comparing as you did to a Xeon with 165W TDP is comedy but illustrative yes.

So? The xeon cpu also has 28 cores and 56 threads, whereas the A12 only has 2 "big" cores (the ones being benchmarked). Dividing 165 by 28 gets you to a more reasonable TDP of 5.89W per core.
Apple is not missing out because it doesn’t jump on every bandwagon that is not part of its core competency. It’s still the most profitable out of all the tech companies.

> no worries" because it's not Black Death.

I think mentioning the Black Death as a counterpoint weakens the argument greatly.

This disease is far-far more similar to the flu than black death, no? So we should probably deal with it as a flu not black death.

Is it possible that due to issues of politics and optics that serious scientists / engineers are unable to work on solutions like "hemp plastic"?

Admittedly as a layperson I am guilty of wondering whether it is just one of those crazy ideas the marijuana enthusiasts are pushing, or whether it has any legitimate potential.

Which is a red flag on its own.
A "goodwill repair" is a repair where Tesla asserts that it is an issue caused by the user and not a warranty case. That Tesla is covering the costs of fixing it is merely a matter of goodwill instead.

The article alleges that Tesla wrongly handles most warranty cases as goodwill repairs. This hits a lot of possible legal issues.

* They can avoid legislation dealing with chronic defects in cars.

* They can sidestep reporting requirements for road safety issues.

* They can fudge the books when they report repair costs.

* They can avoid labeling cars they had to buy back appropriately.

It played a significant role in shaping my understanding of humanity, charity and what impact as a single human being can have. It was a big factor in why I joined the Effective Altruism movement and donate 10+% of my income yearly. I highly recommend reading it.

It saddens me greatly that person who was so forward thinking and was only looking out for the future of humanity was taken away so young.
I'm a first-year engineering undergrad, last Friday I finished the last Calculus 3 exam on the semester.

I spent 2 days studying with friends just to see they would blindly memorize formulas with no regard whatsoever for what they were actually doing. "I'm not the understanding type", they said unironically.

Do you think this happens more often in engineering than other disciplines? Some people believe that applied science or mathematics means that just learning formulas is enough
I’m gnu parallel to distribute the rendering of blender scenes. First I use parallel to copy the files to each nodes. Then I use parallel to render the frames in each node. It works very well. But some times it don’t render a few frame.

Okay, but again you keep dancing around my actual question. You're not talking to me at all, you're talking so far past me that either you're ignoring my arguments or not seeing them.

If a teacher or a student catches the coronavirus, is the school supposed to stay open? If a teacher gets sick and has to stay home, who replaces the teacher? Who will risk themselves also getting sick to come in and substitute when there are confirmed coronavirus cases?
