When a teacher is shown to be abusing minors, other teachers and the union doesn't drop everything to defend them, prevent investigation, and lobby for them to get a teaching job a few districts over.

A police officer can arrest you for something they think is illegal but isn't. In the US, they don't need a functioning knowledge of the law to cruise the streets armed to the teeth. They appear to be able to harass, attack, and even kill people in broad daylight without a judge and jury present let alone face punishment for it.

So yeah, the police as a whole are being punished. We can break that down to a push during the war on drugs to lock out public services like mental health care or support for vulnerable youths and families in favor of increased police budgets and using officers as a catch all. We can examine how an all or nothing union may have corrupt incentives for defending members. We can reject the whole 'Blue Line' thought process and recognize that police are still citizens (though even off duty they may get a pass) and not isolated from the rest of us (though they may attend training that explicitly state otherwise).

Police still see a hugely higher rate of domestic violence yet continue to defend their own. Police appear to be working with extremist groups (white supremacists, not the nonexistent national entity of Antifa). Police in the Us have been infiltrated by white supremacists to the point that often the FBI refuses to work with local police.

As a white guy, police have always been mostly fair to or avoided interacting with me. I've seen the opposite for friends and others in my city. Some cops are assholes. If other cops defend the assholes, they are too. It doesn't matter how important their job is to society as that is even less of an excuse for defending problems.

Which would indicate a terribly lack of security awareness at Twitter. Security of your primary business and customers should not be considered optional.
no, but reddit has the same problem (but amplified IMO) where you self-censor out of fear of saying something unpopular and getting downvoted. It's even more conformist than twitter.

Twitter doesn't have downvotes so its a little better in that regard.

The common "EDIT: <<apology or excuse here>>" I saw on reddit screamed of insecurity instead of people standing their ground. That mentality is bad for young minds.

The above is absolute horseshit which was posted here because the poster knew, with certainty, that they'd face no consequences for posting straight up false information meant to inflame race war.

This about the USG not having as many spying capabilities as China, not about shoring up spying capabilities of China.

If it is APT29, their motive and directive, and what they are paid for, is to ensure Russia's national interest. Which is probably access to capability, although denial of capability is also possible. That all the other stuff dovetails is just happy coincident.
Maybe. I think that's more a symptom than the actual problem.

The problem in my eyes, is that management tries to squeeze every bit of productivity out of tech resources which forces them to take the quick and dirty approach to meet the deadlines or because they've been improperly tasked to a story that pertains to technology that they were not trained for.

The majority of problems mentioned in the article are not gizmos, but things that exist on every car. Brake pads, seats not fitting, panel gaps causing leaks. Given Tesla's manufacturing process it seems utterly predictable that they would have more issues with build quality than any other automaker.
FWIW I work in a place which uses a lot of C++ and cares a lot about performance.

I have seen a lot of really bad Qt UIs as far as responsiviness. The Signal/SLot framework can get really hard to follow in huge code bases with lots of state. The whole thread interaction in Qt is not ideal.

It is interesting because most of people are now actually using PyQT or pyside. Even with these being slower than pure Qt. Because it is easier to adjust to business requirements with Python.

Oh, and I have personally rewritten some of these UIs in React and replaced them with a web browser which made them much more responsive.
Oof yeah you're not wrong! It was well-intended for sure, but you've made a good point regarding regulatory capture. How can we achieve both a) increased security beyond a your basic acronym certificate* and b) democratized access to startups?

Which set of levers can we pull to achieve the best outcome for everyone, I have no idea. Is it fair to compare this to the current aviation dilemmas? I don't want just anyone building a passenger jet, slapping a compliance sticker on it, and hop on board; very high stakes system. Yet at the same time, it's clear to see how Boeing infected the FAA to simply get their way and lockout newcomers.

I’ve been told this several times when I’ve asked what I could do to get a higher rating or promotion. It always meant that there was some tenure element to the rankings. I think from the manager’s perspective they are being both honest and reassuring, but from the report’s perspective, it’s very frustrating knowing your progress is being limited, and hard work wasted, due to some bureaucratic limitation. And knowing that in practice it’s possible for exceptions to be made and it’s possible your manager isn’t advocating strongly enough for you.
Public officials should be completely banned from using communication systems that are not state owned for professional purposes. It makes absolutely no sense that politicians use Twitter as an official communication channel.
I can't stop thinking about what would happen if someone steals Trumps Twitter account and starts sending fake tweets. I am sure the White House would classify it as a security issue.

Xinjiang surely wants to be left alone but I doubt they're looking for a progressive liberal western style democracy. Hong Kong has been under heavy influence of the British so they have indeed developed an attachment to Western style democracy but to what extend I don't know.
Yeah, this is a comparison of 2020 models too, so literally all of them have that.
I don't disagree with that, it's just so many articles are pulling the "without evidence" card, despite much evidence to support weaknesses with mail-in-ballots. Mail in ballots were a real concern among Democrats in past elections also, but somehow today's journalists would have believe that the only people who could possibly care about the issue are all somehow racist or some other bad thing by telling us a bunch of evil people are supposedly fighting against this.

It's so blatant in this article it's amazing anyone can avoid the feeling they're being manipulated.
I'd like to try an experiment where China ends the ongoing slavery and genocides within its borders and let's see if there's less rage.

Because power dynamics play a huge role when we're talking about systemic issues, and the current system gives most favorable outcomes to white males. It's not that the other cases are not important, but dealing with them deserves less priority unless and until they structurally hold that power and receive the benefits.
They are tools, so let's start with the handles. The Manix handle has a shape which is thin enough to easily carry in pocket yet which fills the hand to enable not just one but a range of different solid grips for maximizing strength or control. The handle materials also make the knife extremely durable yet light even though it is relatively large.

Deploying a Victorinox usually means using two hands and then not having a solid lock on the deployed blade. Putting the knife back is also a two handed gesture. While the blade has a stop around halfway to retracted there is still some risk involved. The Manix uses a Spyderco specific variation of a slider lock mechanism which allows the blade to be easily deployed using a range of fast flick or slow slide gestures that require only one hand. When the Manix blade is deployed and the slider lock is not manually held open it automatically locks solidly so that the blade does not move against the handle and the strength of the lock is such that the handle is more likely to fail than the lock itself. Retracting the Manix blade is as simple as pulling back on the slide and then letting the blade fall or swing back into place and while some prefer to use two hands it is easy and even fun to deploy and retract the Manix with one hand.

When it comes to cutting there are many variables and the most important is the geometry of the blade. The broad flat grind of the Manix and the classic shape of the cutting edge make it easy to use for piercing and cutting action that slices instead of chopping. Superior materials mean that under use almost any of the Manix blade variants will hold an edge far longer than the Victorinox.

So whether simply carrying the knife around just in case it is needed, deploying it for use, or actually cutting things the Manix is going to deliver easer and more reliable performance. It may be just a knife, but if you often use a knife then the convenience can quickly pile up to being less than a dollar--even pennies per actual use with each. And every time you can have the satisfaction of doing what needs to be done with minimal inconvenience. And it is also just plain fun: A fidgety machine that looks cool and works well can inspire confidence in the modern world the way so many other widgets can turn promise into a drag.
Yes. Remove the incentive to grow social capital by making users anonymous and posts temporary. It exists and it’s called 4chan. It turns out that when you remove the incentive to grow social capital, the vast majority of people aren’t interested in participating.
You're right that Nick Cannon is the exception. (edit: actually, you're wrong: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2020/jul/16/nick-cannon...)

How about Ice Cube, Stephen Jackson, DeSean Jackson, Dwyane Wade, etc. and all those who supported the comments or brushed them off as "speaking their truth" or some other nonsense? They will face no consequences, because, again, racism is deemed okay in the current climate as long as it's aimed correctly.

Can you even _imagine_ the absolute chaos that would rein if a white NBA player started quoting David Duke to millions of followers, and a bunch of white NBA players and commentators supported them?
The concept of "chemical imbalance" is a great tool to sell some chemicals to get ya balanced, however. Maybe the chemicals in good food are what we really need.
>And wouldn't PCI have something against that?

AFAIK (the spec is huge) PCI-DSS doesn't have a two-man rule requirement. Twitter is arguably doing everything PCI-DSS requires as its good security hygiene anyways.
Congratulations on the launch! Curious why you went with venture funding over indiehacking/bootstrapping?

Or perhaps a more generous reading of gp is official message should only be issued via official channels (which have been vetted for security) and everything else is just pr only.
It tells you what the government really thinks about its population and the situation. The army equipment handed to the police, tells you how dire the government views the whole world wide economic and ecologic situation, and how it expects the violence resulting from this, to spread in waves into its city.

Yes, I've used zulip - every single comment spawned a thread or responded to a thread. Users weren't used to responding to a thread, which meant we had threads of single comments constantly. I'm puzzled that you're puzzled. I thought this was the way Zulip worked. It was about 2 years ago, at any rate. Did it change since then? If so, that's exciting in its own right.
Ah nice that's amazing, I'll check it out. Thanks!! :D
Conveniently left out are all the Republican-friendly companies and industries which do the same (and more). Automobile, equipment manufacturers, aircrafts, fast food, clothing, sports leagues...everyone bows down to money. This is the obvious result of our capitalist system. What's the point in calling out a handful of tech companies?
The problem is there isn't always 2 sides to a story. Sometimes there is one, sometimes there are multiple. If one side says it is raining, one side says it is not, the journalist should stick their hand out the window, not report the two sides.
That's what I am wondering about. Is ASML the weak point? Would a US, Taiwan, or other company be able to develop and manufacture comparable lithography or EUV machines, or do they essentially have a chokehold on the market for now?
PCI is about payment cardholder data (credit card data). So, no, cause Twitter is free and you are not sending credit card data to them. However, if you applied the principals of PCI to all user data then possibly yes. The more valuable practice would be anti-phishing training for CS employees.
Hey, I was not able to do the analysis we talked about. The analysis received much interaction after I published it here and was contacted by many people. As a result, I've been too busy. I hope I can do it soon. When I do it, I'll notify you in a comment here. Or provide me with your email.
I read the president's tweets as my daily amusement, and the fake Elon Musk's tweets are present in so many of them. This also happens on YT and comment sections on other websites. I've always reported them on twitter, but the reporting categories are so limited that I am sure my report get's lost among a bunch of nonsense.
Perhaps the right tweet might do it. Trump has incited violence, explicitly and in subtext, before. So it's not a matter of a simple call-to-arms, like in the past, but then I'm not sure what would be the tipping point.
You have it backwards. News content is now being reported directly via Twitter, because the newsrooms and journalists have proven they can't be trusted. They were never "defunded", their customers left because the product is low quality and biased.
Dugin's position on China is based off fear that an rising China is a vector for Atlantism aka alignment with the west / NATO. That risk has now dissipated so Russia and China's interest are now more congruent than ever.
Russia is grossly overrated, it's a second rate power compared to US and China.
I am looking for something to replace XMPP with our team; I wonder if Zulip could be the one. I do like the thread idea.

Does anyone know if there is a CLI client, and if E2E encryption is possible with Zulip? It does not seem like these are built-in, but maybe someone built these as add-ons somewhere.

I love XMPP, and OMEMO, but Profanity, and Conversations have some weird quirks when used together that we would rather avoid. And while we would love to just move to IRC, and WeeChat, lack of E2E encryption is a deal-breaker.
If that really happened, I think the SEC would have some questions for _every_ TSLA short / HTZ long that made exorbitant profit, with a special emphasis on anyone that entered recently.
My favorite example along these lines (in C) is "Cap'n'Proto remote vuln: pointer overflow check optimized away by compiler"[1] which was covered here a few years back and shows all of these "theoretical" compiler behaviors coming to a head in a real bug which is thoroughly explained.

> Based on the pattern passed to the map function, the compiler figures out that the first call to array_chunks should chunk the data into an iterator of arrays with length 2, and in the second call it should be an iterator of arrays with length 3. It’s so cool!

Cool, but bit too implicit to my taste. But regardless, const generics are definitely one of the biggest features I've been looking forwards to (more so than e.g. async stuff that got all the hype), so glad to see stuff landing even with the restrictions.

At least in the Chicago area, they seem to really prefer to speak on the phone. I'm hard of hearing so phone conversations are challenging at best and despite that, when I've actually been looking for work and talked with recruiters, if they do e-mail it's to ask me to call them. It's seriously annoying. I think a lot of recruiters here have managers who take the view that if they're not on the phone they're not "working."

No. My father friend used to be part of chess-over-mail society. He was participating in several competitions at the same time, and periodically was getting all country as well as regional bulletin on competition states, progress, tidbits etc. I was very fascinated by this whole setup...

I second this, I frequent the /lit/ (literature) board on 4chan and its really good. It's still quite irreverent but its good when studying philosophy, where it was always rebellious (e.g. Nietzsche's "God is Dead").
Don't have the web be four sites full of screenshots of each other. I.e. go back to the blog and forums era. Outlaw social media with more than X users. Make content recommendation algorithms illegal. Personalised advertising should be punishable by public flogging for first offenders and death for repeat offenders or particularly large-scale operations.
I'm aware of that, but beef is a vastly superior food than the produce that is fed to the cows. If it was just about calories, you could just drink HFCS all day.
Why do people buy into this nonsense?
That's really unfortunate. I agree that the $$$ and accounting help make sure the system is not abused in the usual case. Unfortunately jerks are unavoidable, and even if the manager knew the true story they could ignore it to emphasize the contributions of their own reports.

It's hard to imagine a promo system that rewards hard work, where feedback comes from ones peers, and only promotes a fixed number of people where these kind of zero-sum issues don't appear.

>I feel the same way about cancel culture on twitter -- it is bad in the short term, but if it incentivizes people like Yann Lecunn to leave it -- it reduces the importance of the medium itself.

Given that Twitter is the only platform where interesting ML discussions happen daily with a large amount of actual researchers and practitioners talking about their work directly I'm not sure in what way it's better to have people leave without an alternative. The value just decreases for everyone.
To be clear, the Chinese plainly think the US is a rival, and have been pushing on things harder than usual to test what the global response is.
I’m not honestly 100% sure of the situation right now, but things like hertz catch on with more first-time-sucker money than you might think. I mean your benchmark is people with tsla shenanigans, which is relatively recent. With larger betting sports out or curtailed I’m just not sure there isn’t a big enough sea to hide out in.
It's not exactly PRP but I also like to give negative and then positive feedback. I asked some of my employee's about this, however, and some of them mentioned that receiving positive feedback after negative makes the positive feedback seem superficial. Different people prefer to receive feedback in different ways. It's more difficult but we should try to understand how people like to receive feedback (positive or negative) and provide that feedback in the way they prefer to receive it.
