>So white christians vote republican because of a long history of opposition to abortion rights, black votes have gone to democrats ever since the Civil Rights Act passed, etc... Not everyone, but enough that it makes sense as political strategy to court specific groups via these affiliations.

You're defining identity politics in a way that's so broad that it encompasses all politics and some non-politics (corporate brand loyalty). That makes it a non-useful phrase. Generally it's useful to define phrases in ways that exclude a lot of interpretations.
In other words, business as usual. All that has changed are the means by which it is conducted.
The simple act of producing the vaccine and then administering it would take much longer than a few months.
Agreed and I still think it's a good primer to debits and credits on the balance sheet
Don’t you think the big challenge is creating and managing events? Once the graph is built you can throw it at something like dask with fire and forget. The challenge is WHEN to run.
Because Germany is mostly old money, inherited for generations, that is very risk adverse so instead of investing it in new SW companies or buying stocks, they park it in real estate in desirable areas and prop up this bubble since it's a sure bet for a return on investment. That's why they call it Beton Gold ("concrete gold").

Atomic Rockets (1995)
Answering data structure/algorithm questions is absolutely meant as a measure of grit. It takes perhaps hundreds of hours of leetcode grinding to be able to quickly answer any problem which might come up in an interview. The point is to find out how committed applicants are.
When I got my first pair at age 9, I froze to a complete stop on the sidewalk outside the optometrist's office, exclaiming to my mother about how I could read signs all the way at the other end of the street! I rode home with my face pressed to the car window, exclaiming and marveling about how I could see individual leaves on trees, and interrogating my mother about whether she had always been able to see the individual leaves from far away. It was mind-blowingly magical, like having a movie camera zoom lens suddenly, instead of being limited to close-ups only. Or like finally being given some bionic super power that I never knew everyone else had.
> Just as in other areas where countries use violence against each other's populations, it will be a question of the state defending its citizens.

Unfortunately the state seems to be more interested in using these same attacks against its own citizens.
It seems like every progressive group is slowly forced to adopt the platform of every other progressive group until they are effectively politically sterilized.
Honestly, I doubt they've run any numbers on this because I think this lawsuit hasn't occurred to Google.

Web & App Activity tracking collects data on usage of apps and browsing and sends them to the Android project (for improving the OS). Firebase is a framework and service for third parties to build tracking like that into their individual products, and it has an entirely separate history from W&AA tracking. It happens to be owned by Google (as of recently), but the data isn't in the same hoppers as the Android hoppers and Google can't see it (it's part of the Cloud offering; Google offers the service and stores the data, but aggregating or using the data itself would be a violation of their agreements with Firebase customers). Firebase and W&AA tracking are two different subsystems owned and maintained by two different departments at Google (in fact, hypothetically, they could build W&AA tracking as a client project on top of Firebase, if they hadn't already built it).

Firebase was an acquisition; when the W&AA tracking feature was added, Firebase wasn't even part of Google. This is a lawyer recognizing that an acquisition has created a novel arrangement that could be interpreted as suspicious.

I imagine there is quite a bit of pork and middlemen rewarding themselves in the pipeline.
Education system should innstill those principles. In many ways it has tried, but you still meet people of all ages ignorant of their own intolerance and general lack of sound principles. Not everyone is a philosopher, and the world wouldn't be better for it, though we need more robust platforms to build our structures on.
So how do you reply to "What's up", by saying "Not much" or repeating "What's up"? I've never been able to figure this one out.
Is "orthodox privilege" not the operating principle of hacker news? Shouting down unpopular opinions under the guise of "civility"?
It's such an issue everywhere, I find it increasing on the internet.

Even asking a question, and honest question where I want to hear someone's POV / answer ... and folks assume you're a troll and assume you're the polar opposite of them.... and no amount of explaining otherwise changes people's minds.

Even outside questions I'll say "I agree, I think X too." and folks will still insist on arguing about how I believe Y. Bro I just said I agree...

It's a strange thing and I find myself constantly having to preface my statements in hopes people won't misunderstand.
“haba”?
I would never suggest altruism as a defining motivation of a multinational corporation. grin What I’m suggesting as an owner of both since they were created is that iOS apps and devices have just been better curated

I chose iOS because the experience has been near uniformly better on iOS (in my opinion, for me) since inception. The motivations aside, their profit margins aside, and other externalities aside... The apps work better and are better on average and overall. This can only be consistently explained by the curation (directly, or indirectly with follow-on effects) because the other things are effectively equal. You can get a great piece of Samsung hardware, Android is a perfectly fine system sitting on a very robust OS (Linux), and the tooling is fine on both platforms... This leaves the curation: of both the apps in the app stores, and of the systems that are built in it’s name. I guess you could also make the case that Apple just made a better framework, but that’s easily addressable (if so, git gud google) and probably not really true.

The apps are just better curated, not perfect but better. And better is, well... better. Can you find a great Android app? sure. When you average across the store, however, the it will be lower. I don’t want or need even more worse choices. I want access to a couple good ones, to easily choose one, and then to move on.

The devices are (on average and almost across the board) also filled with less cruft. I remember picking up a top tier Android phone from Sprint several years back that had the newest processor, faster than any iPhone at that exact time. But the stuff that Sprint and HTC put on it slowed it to a crawl. The experience was just “less than”. Again, I want the most certainty that the device will just work and work well.

Competition is great, vital even. I sincerely hope all the different options keep the market on it’s toes for a long time. But legislating handcuffs seem counterproductive here. We don’t have a monopoly by any reasonable definition of the word. And without that this kind of idea is just overreach. I would be like me forcing your company to let me use their building just because it’s a lovely building. If your building is the ONLY building, then it’s in the public’s interest to enforce open access. But it’s not, so this is just me taking your nice private building (that people chose to pay to be in because it’s nice) and making it a public place so I can do whatever the heck I like because I want to.
To me that sounds like it would make more difficult to build abstractions/encapsulation if the caller needs to be aware of the internal state of the callee if it is to resume execution there? Or am I misunderstanding how it works?
So do we solve that with 4x a year vaccination?
(It’s Tencent; the title is awful.)
Not a fan of this idea, but I would support “marketplaces” which could be like public playlists on Spotify for companies or influencers who want to share what apps they use.

Could bake in referral code tracking to apps so developers know who is sending them business.

If you only have $1K or less to spend, and you don't already have a sufficient PC that you can upgrade with a big GPU...

A non-Threadripper Ryzen, a big GPU, and a big PSU in a big case will go most of the way for most people, and leave you with an easy incremental upgrade path for bigger GPUs (or maybe add a second GPU).

Slightly dated info for my current ML server, which is nicely quiet in my living room, thanks to Noctua: https://www.neilvandyke.org/machine-learning/

(Side note that's not in that page: I like to use older ThinkPads with transplanted vintage keyboards for my workstations, so I needed to make a separate box for the GPU. But life would be easiler, with a lot less juggling complexity, if I simply had the big GPU in my laptop rather.)
It's not flamebaiting or anything of the sort. Your origin thesis is that Kissinger is worse than people who engaged in genocide. I've asked you to substantiate your claims, and the best example you've managed to come up with is Indonesia's invasion of East Timor, which was not perpetrated by the US, let alone ordered by Kissinger.

Don't you agree that even the best example that you've managed to come up with amounts to no action at all from Kissinger?
meh, that's bad writing in my opinion. he's obviously committing to his opinion (in a super round about way), so he can't skirt trying to not commit.

commit to what you want to say. he's had no problem in the past doing that.
> George Washington is a national hero, but I feel like arguably his greatest feat hasn't remained popular: Willfully giving up power.

In popular history you're probably right; GW is largely known as being the first president. Historians are aware of his place in history, though, and even some of his contemporaries. Supposedly George III said this when Washington resigned from the army: "If he does that, he will be the greatest man in the world." [0]

I'm leery of "American Exceptionalism" but those early leaders did something pretty remarkable: an armed revolution deposed a government and replaced it with a more peaceful one. That is very rare in history.

Same here! I usually opt in to popularity-contest on all Debian installs of mine that are on PCs, though I leave it turned off on servers.
I often go back to Brendon O'Neil's video about the right and duty to offend:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtWrljX9HRA

He talks about how it was once offensive to translate the Bible into English, or suggest God didn't exist, or suggest there was nothing wrong with homosexuality. People who suggested such things were deplatformed, and sometimes arrested or killed, but those who considered themselves enlightened and on the side of the righteous, the virtuous, the good.
Here is an article I found by The Atlantic https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/11/pta-fu...

"PTA at a well-off school might raise a million dollars or more to pay for additional teachers’ salaries, band or orchestra instruments, a new library, iPads for classrooms, field trips, or other initiatives."

"I later learned that most of the shiny extras (and even some full-time aides and specialty subject teachers) at the other schools were funded by PTAs with budgets in the six and seven figures. Our school’s PTA had less than a thousand dollars in the bank."
This has been happening for many years already.

Sounds very similar to Hyperfocus[1] from the AD(H)D world which is something I became very interested in for a while. There are certain subjects that can sustain a state of hyperfocus for me and certain subjects that make me question if I'd had enough sleep. On the surface this sounds a bit psuedo-sciency as if asked anyone would say "yeah I also have things that interest me or don't..." but there's certainly something extra going on when you experience it first hand.

“Fawkes” is a fresh take on anti facial recognition software
That was people disliking the change and being loud. And they failed to pose their will on those who found contraception useful for their own lives.

And they failed also because non stigmatized contraception lowers teenage pregnancies and make aids spread less. Meaning it actually solves societal problems.

Inability to control pregnancy means less heath, particularly for women and small children.
Or in this case, just compute it from the closed form expression with no loop at all.
The conflict between "anti-PC" and "woke" in its entirety is in service of power. A perpetual screaming match between poor and middle-class people, about topics that have little to no bearing on profits, is ideal for corporate elites.
he's very obviously saying those things if you read between the lines so how is that not committing "heresy"?
This is hardly a new "secret" order.
It has been going on since I can remember, or is this the new parody?
Parody is getting harder by the day.
You can fix that by going into stores dressed as a homeless person or any other out-group that contain white people that the store owner/employees in-group has likely an negative emotional response to.

For maximal negative response, portrait yourself as a male with, low social economic status, different race, different biological markers, and signals of different cultural values. As per research this will likely result in activation of fear, disgust and low activation of empathy.
As far as expectations for 2 above, in my experience, teams really love having a completely separate environment per PR. Gitlab has done this on top of Kubernetes using a dynamic domain such as <truncated-branch-name>-review-app.domain.com. This gives QA and stakeholders the ability to easily review/signoff on changes prior to going live and not getting bottlenecked by a small number of QA/UAT environments. This becomes particularly helpful as the engineering team scales up.
The fact that the author needs to explain how it works on an Internet forum is evidence it was neither a clear nor clever choice, but a probably a bad choice.
The comment sounds like a perfect example of siding with orthodox privilege...

We did hear from victims of silencing back in the day just as well (and not just in the sense of state censorship, which many Americans have this bizarro notion that only it matters).

From Lenny Bruce and Charlie Chaplin, to rap groups, from the Hayes code to book authors (including of masterpieces like "Junky"), from Hoover and McCarthy, to Jello Biafra, and from records getting thrown out of record store chains because they angered some group, all the way back to Galileo being silenced, black leaders (despite having large followings otherwise), etc.

People do lose gigs, have talks cancelled, have book contracts dropped, shows demonetised, and so on because of mob reaction, or because of some angry special interest group, or because of some vocal bloggers, or whatever.

Is the argument that they aren't completely stomped, so they should be thankful?

Or that how someone be a victim of silencing and still be able to talk about their silencing and have it know?
Well, "ultimate" means last. So it's really a way of saying "second most important", which I think could easily have been what they were going for there.
And two people can see the exact same event and read it two different ways. We're no longer in Plato's cave. We're literally watching the same movie, but seeing two different screens.
Disclaimer: I'm was part of the Apache Aurora PMC before the project went into the attic.

Not sure what you mean by declarative infrastructure but eventual reconciliation has been implemented in at least one other project (now retired) called Apache Aurora[1] which runs on Apache Mesos[2].

Twitter ran (and probably still runs) a combo of these to huge scale and great success so I don't think it's fair to say that there's nothing else around that does that :).

K8s is great, but we should be careful not to rewrite history.

For the avoidance of doubt, Edinburgh as a city is about as vibrant as it is possible to be, just that the achingly pretty neighbourhood we lived in was a bit stuffy. :-)
> Just as in other areas where countries use violence against each other's populations, it will be a question of the state defending its citizens.

And for this reason, the innocent civilians of third-world/underdeveloped/developing nations will be affected the worst.

We (at Banzai Cloud) use Cadence for managing infrastructure. Workflow as code is a huge thing for us, because we can use the official SDKs for cloud providers, but still have the flexibility of implementing our own logic easily and in a testable way.

Temporal is even better as it replaces Thrift with gRPC and adds tons of improvements.
Does it matter if anyone is surprised? If the courts rule they are in the wrong, they could be fined for each violation which would be billions of dollars.
Look, I'm very much against China here, but this kind of clickbaity rhetoric doesn't help. Maybe Reddit should divest, I think there's a strong argument for that, but their investors at Tencent are not themselves doing the genocide.
Thank you. I've been poking around the job market again after 10 years not searching, and it's disheartening. I have 20 years software development experience, I work at Google, I'm no spring chicken. I'm not the best engineer in the world, I'm sure, but I am a good programmer. I think I'd be an asset in many jobs. But I just turned down proceeding with interviews at a certain payment processing company because in part they wanted to give this kind of whiteboard coding interview. Our industry needs to give its head a shake.
What needs to happen is to realize this before your neighbour started his Airbnb business.

Potential children don't exist. They cannot be harmed by not existing. They can, however, be harmed by being brought into existence. This is true even if life is "worth living" or "generally good" or "mostly pleasurable". Depression and nihilism has nothing to do with it, and my ancestors also don't exist anymore, so why would I care about their opinions?
True, but Threadrippers start at 24 cores and go up from there. That's got to be some intense pre-processing. Not impossible I'm sure, but it would be unusual.
This is a very good example of blindness. It is possible to advocate that rent control is desirable, and in some quarters it easily forms a supermajority majority political opinion — but anyone advocating rent control should at least be aware of a strong consensus that it is harmful, to the tune of 80-90% of surveyed economists. (I don't have JSTOR at the moment or I'd drag one up — ideally one more recent than Whaples' surveys from the 1990s, though those are an okay starting point too.)

I am reasonably confident that I suffer blindness on some important issue. You should be confident that you suffer it, too.
Internet bad-faith interpretation table:

Speaks out against my belief: Mortal enemy.

Questions my belief: Mortal enemy who my powerful comrades have cowed into not directly speaking out against my belief.

Fails to show appropriate support for my belief at the appropriate times: Mortal enemy sleeper agent.

Speaks in favor of my belief, but not in the way I would have: Exploitative opportunist who believes nothing but seeks to benefit from the glorious revolution.

Speaks in favor of a belief that's almost identical to mine, but still, subtly distinguishable: The worse kind of heretic; a heretic within the faith.
Sure. Both sides need to have good faith.

But the expert is the one who can know if the requirements are sensible.

In requirements gathering, the whole job is to hear people's attempts to describe their problem and figure out what problem they actually have.

By definition they don't have your expertise, or they wouldn't need to talk to you.

So, of course they will say contradictory things and use terms completely incorrectly - they cannot do anything else. That's why they hired you.

The expert in this scenario gets hung up on their incorrect language and gets flustered and stymied, telling them "What you want is impossible!"

What they _said_ is impossible. It's our job to persistently, patiently, calmly help them understand their needs, without judging them for needing our help.

I'm not particularly good at it, but I understand the mission.
> Maybe the issue is that so many people are quick to label anything that sounds like rationalism as alt-right.

That is an issue, but I'll hope it's uncontroversial to point out that people like, say Curtis Yarvin, who are closely associated with both the alt-right and rationalist movements. There is in fact some significant overlap between those communities.

I'd like an iOS web browser that wasn't just a wrapper around Safari, so it could do a better job of ad blocking - and I'd install a Firefox App Store if that was the only way to get it.
Thanks for the video! Could you comment on the differences between the Titan RTX and the V100? I am a bit confused because the V100 is significantly more expensive ($7k on Amazon even for the 16GB version) and has a slower clock speed, yet it is the standard in ML research papers. I see that it has ~10% more CUDA cores, but it doesn't seem like this would warrant a 3x price increase.
Aww thanks!

There may be argument about the BBS software being "definitive", but it was certainly used to run some of the most popular Acorn BBSes - there were installs with 16 dial-in modems in Hong Kong, for example. It has also been decades since I wrote a terminal emulator... simpler times!

As with most things the empeg was a team effort as were all the iPhones I worked on at Apple (the first one through to the 4S) and the Nest... lots of amazing engineers doing incredible work, and I consider myself very lucky to have been able to work with them. Ditto for Electric Imp, which was a fresh look at the problem of exchanging data between the cloud and the real world.

I grew up in rural Somerset in the UK and never imagined I'd get to work at Apple and be wrangling power budgets with Wendell Sander. Almost everything in life revolves around being at the right place at the right time and being willing to take risks.
This kind of genocides is why the yearly Holocaust remembrance posts on the internet are moot. What's the point of never forgetting a genocide if we're just going to sit by and watch others take place.
